JACK MCGARRY
Jack McGarry is best-known as co-founder of New York’s world-renowned bar The Dead Rabbit.
He worked at the Bar at the Merchant Hotel which was awarded World’s Best Cocktail Bar in 2010 from Tales of the Cocktail. After moving to New York and opening The Dead Rabbit with Sean Muldoon, McGarry won International Bartender of the Year, the youngest person ever to win. Shortly after The Dead Rabbit won high praise such as Best Bar in North America for many years and Best Bar in the World 2015.
He established The Irish Exit (a casual stop for travelers) in New York. McGarry opened The Dead Rabbit Austin in July 2024 and The Dead Rabbit DC is expected later in 2024.
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."
