What’s on
MOTHERING SUNDAY
MAY 12TH
Mother’s Day at The Dead Rabbit is somewhat of a tradition, with roasts, all-day breakfasts, brunch, cocktails, and live music. And this year, in addition to our usual Sunday Seisiún, we’re joined by two very special musical guests. Playing live in The Parlor from 2pm - 4pm, Mary Elaine Jenkins is a fixture of the New York music scene, has toured Europe, and has supported artists such as Martha Wainwright and John Craigie. And in The Taproom from 3pm - 5pm, Carl Banks has toured Ireland, playing venues and theatres such as Vicar Street, Farmleigh, The Waterford Royal Theatre, and The Olympia Theatre, to name but a few. To toast the occasion, we’ve created a cocktail with Glendalough Wild Rose Irish Gin - the aptly named Irish Rose. Lá na Máithreacha sona duit.
THAT’s DEADLY COMEDY
MAY 24TH, 6PM & 9PM
Our tenth comedy event sees the return of Shane Todd - who wowed guests during our tenth birthday celebrations - and this time, he’s bringing a few friends. In the last year alone, Shane has sold out shows across Ireland, the UK, Europe, America, and Canada and enjoyed continued success with his hugely popular Tea With Me podcast. And he’s opened for comedy megastar Kevin Hart - but doesn’t want to go on about it (22 shows). Don’t miss the chance to see one of Ireland’s most popular stand-ups, featuring guests from the North of Ireland, on May 24th. And because we know it’ll be popular - we’ve added two sittings, one at 6pm and another at 9pm. In the words of Kevin Hart, it promises to be “dope”.
Shuck and Stout Hour
MONDAY - FRIDAY, 3PM - 6PM
Guinness and Oysters are two of our favorite things, and they happen to go together very well, too - cream and brine, malt and salt, pearls and pints.
Every Monday - Friday, we offer Oysters for just $2 each by the half dozen, Guinness at $8 a pint, and cocktail specials. Great for you, shite for the bivalves. Yep, it’s Guinness Time.
Sunday Seisiún
THE TAPROOM EXTENSION
EVERY SUNDAY, 6PM - 10PM
A Water St staple since 2013, our house band provides the soundtrack to our famed Sunday service. The musicians vary weekly, with instruments including fiddles, guitars, uilleann pipes, banjos, and bodhrans, live in The Taproom Extension from 6pm until 10pm. Be sure to make it a real Dead Rabbit ritual with a Sunday Roast, Irish Coffees, and a Pint of Guinness, with the best soundtrack this side of the Atlantic.
THE DEAD RABBIT CHEF SERIES
Created in partnership with renowned Irish chef Mark Moriarty and Kerrygold Irish Butter, our new guest chef series seeks to challenge preconceptions around Irish food, showcasing the very best culinary talent that Ireland has to offer, in keeping with The Dead Rabbit’s commitment to supporting modern, authentic Irish culture.
