Voted the World’s Best Bar 2016, New York’s celebrated Irish drinking tavern The Dead Rabbit – a place of pilgrimage for cocktail-lovers – is rolling its unruly wagons into London’s Claridge’s Bar for an exclusive week-long takeover. The multi award-winning 19th-century-style bar will be recreated, complete with ragtime piano playing and authentic New York-style service – bringing Manhattan to the heart of Mayfair.
The pop-up will specifically recreate the second floor ‘Parlor’, serving several of its signature cocktails including Irish Coffee and Psycho Killer, along with favourites from their food menu such as lobster devilled eggs, Cumberland sausage rolls and Irish lamb stew.
The arrival of the bar will mean that for the duration of the pop-up, every single one of the world’s top five bars according to the World’s 50 Best Bars list will be in London, with The Savoy’s American Bar, Dandelyan at the Mondrian and The Connaught Bar.
