Sean Muldoon leaves Dead Rabbit to open new bar
The Dead Rabbit’s Sean Muldoon and Jillian Vose have departed the acclaimed New York bar to open a new Irish-themed venue in South Carolina, US.
Belfast duo Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry opened The Dead Rabbit bar in New York City in 2013.
Since then, the Irish pub-themed venue has undergone an expansion and garnered major accolades, including the coveted World’s Best Bar award at Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards. The duo have also created an Irish whiskey brand and penned several books.
A Cuban-inspired sister venue, Blacktail, opened in New York in 2016 but closed in 2020. Meanwhile, major expansion plans have been recently revealed, including the opening of Dead Rabbit outposts in New Orleans in early 2023, to be followed by Austin, Texas.
