Tradition, Meet Tomorrow. The World’s Most Awarded Pub.

11/06/2026

Cúpla Pints is back for Episode Fifteen, and this time we’re handing the taps over to Derry-born musician SOAK, who’s no stranger to performing at The Dead Rabbit, but is a little less familiar with what goes on behind the bar…

We find out where the name SOAK came from, how songwriting helps them make sense of the world, and why their upcoming fourth album, Decembers, feels like a full-circle moment.

We also chat about their collaboration with Fred Again, which saw SOAK venture into spoken-word poetry, their favorite Irish musicians, and must-visit Derry pubs.

As for the Guinness? Well, SOAK reckons their pint has character and charm, although our resident judge, Gráinne, has a slightly different opinion…

It’s no secret that we love Foxes Bow Irish Wh***ey down here - and it goes great in a Daiquiri. Or is it a Gimlet? Tony’s not sure…

Foxes Folly brings together Foxes Bow Irish Wh***ey, Bols Genever, St. George Spiced Pear, apple c***r, honey, and lemon for a cocktail that’s a little boozy, beautifully balanced, and packed with fall flavors without being overly sweet.

And with all that Vitamin C, it’s at least one of your five a day.

With Halloween wrapped (pics coming soon), it’s all eyes on the holidays - and if you’re looking for somewhere to host your festive get-together, we’ve got 5,000 sq. ft. of space to play with.

From intimate gatherings to full-blown parties, there’s plenty of room to make it your own. Keep things cozy in Mary’s Corner, our snug for up to 15 guests, take over Grá Mór (60) or The Taproom (80), or go all out with a full venue takeover for up to 250.

With semi-private booths, exclusive spaces, custom menus, full AV, and a top-tier team to look after you, we’ve got everything you need to make this year’s party one to remember… or forget, depending on how much booze you fancy.

From November 16th onward, all three of our floors and all five of our bars will be transformed into Jingle Jangle.

That means tinsel, sparkling lights, baubles, and garlands everywhere, with one festive menu served throughout the entire building.

So, if you’re looking to get your Parlor fix before Santa and his reindeer take over, consider this your final warning. Our 22 Parlor cocktails will be tucked away until January, making room for a whole lot of Christmas cheer.

Get them while you can.

Google reviews are one thing, but have you ever looked at Yelp?

Reserved for the angriest of guests, this dark and dingy corner of the internet is absolute gold when it comes to feedback.

Now, we’ve got way more five-star reviews than bad ones, but occasionally, negative ones do happen. That’s part and parcel of running a bar. We reply to every single one, investigate anything concerning, and take critical comments very seriously - genuinely, we do.

That said, in the fourth episode of The Complaints Department, our Customer Relations Manager, Jack McGarry, is taking on everything from toddlers being ID’d and guests being asked to say please and thank you, to our apparently dumb menu and excessively loud music.

Truth be told, Jack would like to turn it down a little, too.

11/02/2026

And just like that, the spirits have returned to the Otherworld for another year.

After four weeks of Samhain celebrations, carved turnips, corn stalks, and a few familiar faces from Irish folklore, our annual takeover has come to an end.

On Halloween itself, we swapped ancient Irish traditions for a good old-fashioned American costume party, and you certainly understood the assignment.

From the wonderfully weird to the downright terrifying, the costumes were a sight to behold, not forgetting our best-dressed guest, who walked away with a $100 bar tab.

Now… time to get Mariah out of the freezer.

To Dip or Not to Dip.

Inspired by Drinks with Danica and her visit to The Life of Reilly, we’ve been dipping various snacks into Guinness across The Dead Rabbit group to see whether it improves the food, the pint, or both - with varying degrees of success.

So far, we’ve tried fries, churros, tacos, and Monster Munch. Now, it’s the turn of the humble scone, minus the messy jam and cream.

Spoiler alert - it works. Don’t believe us? Come try it for yourselves…

11/01/2026

As far as we’re concerned, November 1st means we’re officially in the festive season - so it’s time to start planning New Year’s Eve.

This year, we’re keeping things simpler than ever, and it won’t take long to explain. We’ll be open as normal. Yep, that’s it. No tickets, no dress code, no annoying deposits.

Daytime bookings will open two weeks in advance, with doors from 11am - 2am, and walk-ins (and adults) only after 6pm.

Fancy outfits are welcome, and the bar will be stocked with Ch*****ne should you wish to toast the bells at midnight. But if you’d rather wear a tracksuit and drink pints, that’s quite alright with us.

Now, isn’t that a relief?

Today, Ireland mourns the loss of one of its finest athletes.

Ciara Mageean, the middle-distance runner from Portaferry, County Down, has passed away at just 34 years old, following a battle with cancer.

Ciara represented Ireland at two Olympic Games, in Rio and Tokyo, and made history in 2024 when she won gold in the 1500m at the European Athletics Championships in Rome, becoming the first Irish individual European champion since Sonia O’Sullivan.

It was a remarkable achievement, and the culmination of years of dedication, determination, and hard work.

From her early days playing camogie in Portaferry to representing Ireland on the world stage, she carried the hopes of an entire nation with her. She showed young athletes, particularly young women, what was possible through talent, perseverance, and an extraordinary commitment to her sport.

In 2025, Ciara was diagnosed with cancer. In October of this year, she married her longtime partner, Thomas Moran, just weeks before her passing.

We wish we weren't so well acquainted with the devastation cancer can bring to families. It's a cruel disease, and one that has taken far too many people far too soon.

Our deepest sympathies are with Thomas, Ciara's family, her friends, her teammates, and everyone in Portaferry and across Ireland who is grieving her loss.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

If there’s ever been a good excuse to keep Austin weird, Halloween has to be it.

Grab your strangest, spookiest costume, and join us tonight as we celebrate Halloween with a wee Irish-American hybrid, combining the ancient traditions of Samhain with a good old-fashioned American costume party.

We’ll be crowning our best-dressed guest at 10pm, with a $100 bar tab up for grabs, so dig out your strangest, spookiest outfit and come scare the bejesus out of us. The weirder, the better.

10/31/2026

Sure, you could cover yourself in a white bedsheet and say boo - but that won’t win any prizes around here.

Our Samhain takeover wraps up on November 1st, but there’s one last big hurrah this weekend.

We’ve got a DJ tonight from 10pm - 2am, and as we do every year, we’ll be crowning our best-dressed guest at midnight, with a $100 bar tab up for grabs.

No rules, no guidelines, no stipulations - just come dressed to spook.

The scarier, the better.

10/30/2026

So, what is Samhain, anyway?

No, Tony, it’s not a made-up holiday from a made-up island that we celebrate to make ourselves feel cool - and Aidan’s here to tell us more.

Halloween traces its roots back more than 2,000 years to the ancient Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, a time when the boundary between this world and the Otherworld was believed to grow thin.

Fast-forward a couple of millennia, and Irish immigrants carried many of their customs across the Atlantic, where old traditions evolved into the Halloween celebrations we know today.

So basically, it’s the OG spooky season - and we’re celebrating tomorrow with a costume party, and the best-dressed guest crowned at 10pm.

Oíche Shamhna shona daoibh.

10/30/2026

At The Dead Rabbit, 100% of our music comes from Irish artists, but much to Liam’s annoyance, not every song makes the cut.

There’s a wealth of contemporary Irish music embracing neo-trad, alternative folk, and darker, more brooding sounds. And while we love it, it’s not necessarily the soundtrack you want while tucking into a corned beef sandwich at 2pm on a Saturday.

What it does lend itself to, though, is spooky season.

With so many Irish artists drawing inspiration from the history, myths, and legends surrounding Samhain, we’ve put together a Halloween playlist that explores the darker side of Irish music, featuring some of the freshest and most exciting artists coming out of the island today.

Our neighbors and teammates at Grá Mór have just launched three new drinks for fall, including a pumpkin number that’s perfect for Halloween weekend.

First up, the Pumpkin Cream Pie Chai combines Minor Figures oat milk and chai with our housemade pumpkin honey syrup, a touch of ginger juice, and vanilla cream.

Banana lovers, the Banana-Chata Latte brings together Andytown espresso, rice and oat horchata syrup, and real banana cream, finished with a dusting of cinnamon.

Last, but by no means least, add a little pep in your step with the Sparkling Apple Crisp, which combines apple c***r cordial, sweet pomegranate grenadine, and a splash of sparkling water.

All treats, no tricks.

10/28/2026

All Night Apple - enjoy it alcohol-free, or add a little boost of booze.

This brand-new autumnal punch brings together warming spices, including Vietnamese cassia, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, brightened with lemon and apple c***r.

Comforting yet refreshing, it’s made with a base of Three Spirit Nightcap and can be enjoyed just as it is, or with a splash of wh***ey, tequila, vodka, rum, or gin (the list goes on) to take things up a notch.

Available now in The Taproom.

10/26/2026

The clue’s in the name - our Sunday Roast is usually reserved for just that - the last day of the week, served to the sound of our live Irish Seisiún.

But occasionally, we make an exception.

On Thanksgiving, one month from today, get it on a Thursday, featuring our hearty, new-and-improved combination of roasted sirloin of beef, bread stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese gratin, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, beef gravy, and horseradish cream.

And because no feast is complete without dessert, we recommend following it up with our Irish Coffee Tiramisu or Irish Cream Bread and Butter Pudding.

Enough to make you thankful, indeed.

10/26/2026

If you’re spending Thanksgiving in Austin, stop in for our Sunday Roast - yep, on a Thursday.

One month from today, we’ll be making an exception to our ‘Sundays only’ rule, serving up our hearty Prime Rib Roast Dinner with all the trimmings.

Think champ, stuffing, roasted broccoli, creamed cauliflower, Yorkshire pudding, and plenty of onion gravy - and not a dry turkey in sight.

10/25/2026

Apple brown butter bread pudding - five booms.

In this autumnal take on the classic, we cook apples in brown butter, bourbon, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then fold them into a rich custard and let the bread soak overnight to absorb all the flavor.

Once baked until golden, we finish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, bringing a cool contrast to all that warm apple, cinnamon, and bourbon goodness.

Brown Butter Cinnamon Apples, Brown Sugar Custard, Texas Sourdough, Vanilla Ice Cream.

10/23/2026

Most people enjoy our Irish Fry with a pint of Guinness or a pot of Barry’s tea, but with Formula 1 returning to Austin from October 22nd - 25th, you might want to take your breakfast up a gear.

Whether you’re here for the race or just along for the ride, make us your pit stop for cocktails, b**r, and food all day.

Get your choice of eggs, white and blood pudding, back bacon, sausage, grilled tomato, potato and soda breads, and Kerrygold butter - available all day, every day, with a plant-based option on offer, too.

Ch*****ne optional, but always recommended.

10/21/2026

Created by Brittany and Tony, Night Owl is the perfect nightcap - or a boozy sipper to kickstart your evening.

After being introduced to Woodford Reserve Double Oaked during a team training, the pair immediately had a fall-inspired Old Fashioned in mind.

Paired with Jameson Black Barrel, it creates a rich, nutty base with notes of vanilla and a lovely oaky finish, while Cap Corse Rouge brings floral, bittersweet notes of candied fruit, cocoa, and spice, balanced by chamomile, raspberry, and honey.

Twit Twoo.
