The Banter

The Guys note the changes in how folks choose to ring in the New Year. As they often do, they choose to celebrate with a BANG! 

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys hear the story of Sean Muldoon from the bar at the Merchant Hotel in Belfast to the soon-to-be opened The Dead Rabbit in New York City. Sean shares his vision for bartending as a vocation and the innovative concept of The Dead Rabbit. Listen to his thoughts before the revolutionary project that raised the bar for the Irish pub experience and catch a fun story about a young Jack McGarry!

The Inside Track

Francis had the great pleasure of meeting Sean on his many trips to the Bar at the Merchant Hotel in Belfast. They find they share a similar vision with regards to mentoring staff and excellence.

Sean: I just need believers, I can do the rest. I just need people who believe.

Francis: You know, we absolutely speak the same language.
