The Dead Rabbit, also known as The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog,[1] is a craft cocktail bar in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The bar was founded in 2013 in its location on Water Street.[2] It opened as a "cocktail emporium", evoking the drinking habits of 19th-century New Yorkers.[3]

The establishment was rated the best bar in the world in 2016, as compiled by The World's 50 Best Bars.[2] It was also named world's best bar at the Tales of the Cocktail competition.[4]

In 2022, the bar announced plans to open locations in New Orleans and Austin, Texas, as well as a sister bar in Charleston.[2] One of the bar's owners will work with its beverage director to establish the Charleston bar, while still remaining a silent partner at The Dead Rabbit. A new beverage director would be named for The Dead Rabbit bar.[5][3]

The bar is in the Fraunces Tavern Block Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District and a New York City designated landmark district.

The establishment has three stories, including a ground-floor taproom with basic drinks, a second-floor parlor with craft cocktails, and a third-floor, private room for parties.[4]
