‘The Best Bar in the World’ Pops Up on the Strip This Weekend

Juniper Cocktail Lounge at Park MGM brings in cocktails and more from New York’s The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog during a special pop-event this Friday, Jan. 18, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The event features a book signing by The Dead Rabbit beverage director Jillian Vose, a special menu of The Dead Rabbit cocktails for customers to purchase, and live entertainment.

Co-authored by Vose and venue founders Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry, The Dead Rabbit Mixology & Mayhem: The Story of John Morrissey and the World’s Best Cocktail Menu is a graphic novel and cocktail book that features 100 recipes, each telling a story through artistic menus. The authors pulled real events and people in New York City into the book that is set in the 1970s and follows a rabbit-man hybrid named John Morrissey, who is influenced by a real Irish-born, New York mobster from the 1850s. Cocktails such as Superhuman and Smooth Talker come from the story, which unfolds over six chapters. Full recipes are included. Books are $30 each and will be available at Juniper during the special event only.

The World’s 50 Best Bars named The Dead Rabbit Best Bar in the World in 2016 and has won nearly every major accolade of the bar world since opening in November 2012.

Admission to the event is free to those 21 years of age and older.
