The Dead Rabbit holds a 4.7-star Google rating drawn from 8,360 reviews — one of the larger review pools you'll find for an Irish pub and cocktail bar at this address. That signal alone puts it on the short list if you're deciding where to spend an evening at 30 Water St in New York, NY 10004.
The bar is a 2-story spot: the ground-floor taproom handles lunch and daytime drinks, while the upstairs parlor shifts into small plates and vintage cocktails. Live music is a regular feature, and the price level is moderate — so you're not paying cocktail-lounge premiums for the full experience. The menu extends beyond pub standbys to include brunch, lunch, beer, wine, cocktails, coffee, and vegetarian food options.
If you're looking for a place that works for a group, The Dead Rabbit is listed as good for groups and good for watching sports, and it takes reservations. Wheelchair-accessible seating and wheelchair-accessible restrooms are both available on site. It's also a viable choice if you're nearby landmarks like One World Observatory or Federal Hall National Memorial and want somewhere to settle in for a few hours rather than a quick drink. Takeout and delivery round out the options for those who want the cocktail program without the sit-down commitment.
Every day of the week opens at 11:00 AM. Monday through Thursday and Sunday, last call is 2:00 AM. On Friday and Saturday, the bar stays open until 3:00 AM. Reservations are accepted, so booking ahead is an option if you're coming with a crowd. Reach them at (917) 540-5228 or visit thedeadrabbit.com for menus and reservation details.
