The Restaurant Guys
Jack McGarry: The Dead Rabbit & Sharing Dignified Irish
The Banter
The Guys share their experiences with Irish bars, including The Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh in West Orange, NJ that Francis ran for a time….much to Mark’s consternation!
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys talk with Jack McGarry, co-founder of The Dead Rabbit in New York City. They discuss the journey of transforming the traditional Irish pub into a world-class cocktail destination through authenticity and hospitality. Tune it to hear what and where is next for Jack and The Dead Rabbit.
The Inside Track
The Guys have crossed paths with Jack while being hosted by him at The Dead Rabbit NYC, his visits to NJ and from industry events like Tales of the Cocktail. (You’ll want to listen to the Sean Muldoon episode to hear a funny story about young Jack McGarry.)
“We're here to really advance the story of contemporary Ireland.”
“I'm honored to talk to you guys any time,” Jack McGarry on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2024
