Dead Rabbit's Northern Irish creators part ways and announce new bars
Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry, the Northern Irish founders of The Dead Rabbit in New York, have announced a parting of ways.
McGarry will continue to lead The Dead Rabbit as it embarks on an ambitious roll out plan across the US, while Muldoon and beverage director Jillian Vose will move to Charleston in South Carolina to open Hazel and Apple.
Muldoon and McGarry rose to fame at The Merchant Hotel in Belfast, winning countless awards including membership of The World's 50 Best Bars 2011, before launching Irish bar The Dead Rabbit in 2013, which was named the World's Best Bar in 2016.
The parting is consensual and amicable. “We all realised we want different things,” Muldoon told Class' sister title Drinks International. “It’s nobody’s fault - it’s just a natural development.”
