"After 11 years of renown in New York City, The Dead Rabbit opened a second location on Dirty Sixth Street. And while the new location doesn’t have the same weathered feel of the original, the cocktail and food menus are similar. The biggest difference is that the Austin location swaps the haddock for cod, and the Harp Lager batter for Red Stripe. The result is fish that’s nice and flaky, with a fried batter that’s perfectly crispy. We’ve had some plates that needed a little more seasoning, but when Dead Rabbit gets it right, they nail it." - nicolai mccrary
"After nearly a decade of renown in New York City, The Dead Rabbit opened a second location on Dirty Sixth Street, transforming a former B.D. Riley’s into a cavernous pub full of heavy wooden tables and walls covered in homey framed artwork. It's equal parts cocktail bar and restaurant, and while none of the food will blow you away, it's a good place to get scotch eggs, crispy fish and chips, and fried chicken when your body needs sustenance after a night of partying too hard. Kitchen open until 1am (limited menu starting at midnight)" - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Cocktail enthusiasts throughout Austin rejoiced when The Dead Rabbit, one of Manhattan’s most acclaimed bars, chose to open a new location on East 6th Street. Luckily, this upcycled spin on a classic Irish pub offers both impeccable beverages (such as the Dead Rabbit’s highly praised Irish coffee) and chef-driven takes on tavern staples, including the Scotch egg, fish & chips, and even a full Irish breakfast (available all day long). Next door, the daytime-only Neighbourhood Cafe serves breakfast sandwiches, freshly baked pastries, and whimsical coffee drinks, such as the tiramisu latte." - Taylor Tobin
"After 11 years of renown in New York City, The Dead Rabbit opened a second location on Dirty Sixth Street, transforming a former B.D. Riley’s into a cavernous pub full of homey framed artwork. It's equal parts cocktail bar and restaurant, and even if the food isn't anything to rave about, we can confidently say that the drinks coming out of the place are some of the best-crafted cocktails in the area. The menu ranges from ultra-classic Irish coffees—dry, balanced, and refreshingly caffeinated—to a smoked watermelon margarita twist and inventive riffs on Old Fashioneds. Stop by for a pint of Guinness and a cocktail before a night on the town. And if you get hungry, order the Irish breakfast (it’s easily the superior dish)." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

It's equal parts cocktail bar and restaurant, and while we’re not huge fans of the food, we can confidently say that the drinks coming out of the place are some of the best-crafted cocktails you’ll find in the area (particularly without a speakeasy reservation). Stop by for a pint of Guinness or a perfectly crafted Irish coffee to jump-start a night full of live music, mechanical bull rides, and bad shots." - nicolai mccrary
