Maybe it’s the luck of the Irish. On September 25, Sternewirth Tavern & Club Room<\/a> in San Antonio’s Hotel Emma will host a takeover by Dead Rabbit<\/a>, the New York City and Austin pub once named the world’s best by international industry list The World’s 50 Best Bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Named after an Irish street gang active in the mid-1800s, Dead Rabbit opened in 2013 in Manhattan’s Financial District. Since then, it has become a nexus for global cocktail fans, modernizing the often kitschy Irish bar category with contemporary cocktails and a hip vibe that avoids campy stereotypes like shamrocks and leprechauns.<\/p>\n

It followed up on its success in summer 2024 with the opening<\/a> of a second outpost on Austin’s famed Sixth Street. The bar was such an overnight smash that it debuted the Gr\u00e1 M\u00f3r Caf\u00e9<\/a> a year later.<\/p>\n

“In terms of what we’re trying to show Austin, it’s a new version of Ireland. It’s Ireland very much of today,” Dead Rabbit co-founder and owner Jack McGarry told Austin CultureMap at the time. “It’s to show that Irish culture, Irish drinks, Irish food are among the very best in the world.”<\/p>\n

The Sternewirth pop-up will feature rum maker Bacardi’s portfolio of spirits in four cocktails. Guests can expect a frozen Irish coffee, the apricot and whiskey-spiked Usqu\u00e6bach, the rum-based Pear Necessities, and Flying Boat, a tropical curiosity made with tequila, gin, coconut, and lime leaf.<\/p>\n

The pop-up, held between 5-10 pm, will be one night only. Both hotel guests are welcome to attend, and neither a cover nor reservations are required. Dead Rabbit had no plans to open a San Antonio location.<\/p>\n

This fall, Hotel Emma is updating the ante on its culinary programming. Among the can’t-miss events on the calendar is a September 26 dinner with Otto’s Ice House founder Levi Goode, a September 28 wild game feast with Hotel Emma Executive Chef Geronimo Lopez, and an October 20 visit from Thomas Bille of Spring’s Michelin-recognized Belly of the Beast.
