about The irish exit
The Irish Exit is the newest venture from the team behind the internationally acclaimed Dead Rabbit - the World’s Most Awarded Pub.
there are a few things the team will be bringing from 30 Water Street to Moynihan Train Hall - the trifecta, the attention to detail, and the irish hospitality.
But we’ve always believed in listening to our buildings, and this train station’s saying - Espresso Martinis on tap, cold beers, quick!
Food in a hurry and coffee to go.
So, as The Dead Rabbit expands across America -
The Irish Exit begins.
OUR STORY
OUR STORY
The Irish Exit is founded on two key principles.
Firstly, we want to further the representation of contemporary Irish culture in America. Irish people are amongst the most transient nations in the world - we like an adventure, and you’ll find Irish communities in almost every corner of the globe, And the Irish pub is one of Ireland’s greatest exports.
but too often, you’ll find inauthentic phaddywhackery, outdated tropes, and subpar experiences masquerading as tradition.
Through The Dead Rabbit and The Irish Exit, we champion the modern Irish maker and the Ireland of today - the brewers, distillers, artists and musicians. Some people say pubs shouldn’t play music. But we do. And others say pubs are for drinking and not for eating. But we serve food all day, every day.
We’ll always honor the heritage of our predecessors and preserve the tradition of Irish hospitality, but our eye is firmly on the future - progression through partnerships, evolution through collaboration, and showcasing contemporary Ireland on a global stage.
Second, when you think of your favorite drinking and dining experiences, you might not recall train stations and airports.
Through our commitment to excellence, and our world-class, award-winning team, we’re on a mission to change that.
Our cocktails are crafted with premium, seasonal ingredients. Our beer offering represents the best of Ireland, alongside regularly changing local brews. Our spirits list features Whiskeys, Whiskies, and more - with best-in-class options in every category.
If you’re stopping in for a Guinness before your train, expect a perfect pint. If you’re in need of a caffeinated kick, choose from our world-famous Irish Coffee, an Espresso Martini on tap, or a hot drink to take away.
No corners cut, and zero compromise - because traveling shouldn’t mean settling - and there's no hurry, stay a while.
So if you see an Irish Exit on your next journey - stop in on your way, or better yet - make us your destination.
