Is this the best Irish pub in the world?
The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog looks absolutely amazing. Mmmm… Friday evening grog.
THE DEAD RABBIT Grocery & Grog is an Irish-owned pub in New York and it’s just been voted one of the best bars in the world.
The list, picked by industry news magazine Drinks International, gave the top spot to London’s Langham hotel bar, Artesian. Following in close second, is the Dead Rabbit, an Irish pub in New York.
The magazine says “they’ve managed to make the cocktail bar approachable to the masses and to make the Irish pub a great experience by offering exceptional products and exemplary service”.
Speaking to DailyEdge.ie earlier this year, Belfast-native owner Jack McGarry said he and partner Sean Muldoon strive to take “the best of every single pub in Ireland” and present it to New Yorkers.
But what’s all the fuss about?
They do a decent-looking fry up, bean prejudices aside
It includes Cumberland sausages, Irish bacon, black and white Irish pudding, sauteed mushrooms, eggs, roasted tomato, toasted sourdough, along with Heinz baked beans.
The pint of Guinness looks solid
You don’t see lads pondering at the bar like that over an average pint of the black stuff.
Here’s the Irish coffee
Look at that gentle fluffy layer of cream, MOTHER MAY I.
The cocktails are absolutely next to none by the looks of it
The Moby Dick
Fancy! Consisting of cognac, sherry, and whiskey.
They basically have all the garnishes you could ever want
… as well as one named after all of us
They sell some of them in cool casks
And teacups
Get in our bleedin’ bellies like
The food also looks unreal
Oysters, martinis and absinthe, solid.
Dat bun
A steak sandwich topped with caramelized onions, spicy aioli, and gooey cheese
Crispy pork sliders with quail eggs
Not forgetting that all important cheeseboard
As for the decor? It’s all very speakeasy
It’s like stepping right into the Prohibition era
They’ve even got old photos hanging from the roof
Take us there now
