Deets: The Dead Rabbit announced the next phase of its partnership with The Rooftop at Pier 17 in the Seaport. Beginning January 10, The Rooftop will shed its holiday decor to become Joxer’s, an all-new Irish sports bar concept. The Dead Rabbit brings its high-touch modern Irish hospitality with a unique menu and accompanying decor spanning the entire rooftop space–including the private dining cottages, full-service bar, bungalows, and ice skating rink. Guests are welcomed to experience Joxer’s through early March, after which it will transition into the pub’s “Paddy’s Not Patty’s” St. Patrick’s Day concept.
Joxer’s derives its name from Irish singer Christy Moore’s “Joxer Goes to Stuttgart,” a classic folk song that tells the story of a group of Irish soccer fans traveling to Germany in support of the Republic of Ireland at the 1988 UEFA European Championship. Following suit, Joxer’s captures the excitement and camaraderie of sports fandom, creating a space for spectators to root for their favorite teams over a drink and participate in winter games in an iconic space overlooking the city.
Joxer’s will feature neon sports signs, memorabilia from major sports organizations like the NBA, NFL, and NHL, and no shortage of large screen TVs. The Tavern and Cottages will provide an environment akin to a VIP box at a sporting event, complete with a carefully-curated and full-service food and drink experience. The Bungalows and Ice Rink, meanwhile, will offer more of a casual grab-and-go atmosphere for walk-in guests looking to watch games alongside large groups of friends.
Ideated by the team at The Dead Rabbit, Joxer’s drinks menu will feature high-quality and high-integrity takes on sports bar classics, spanning highballs, boilermakers, hot cocktails, and more, as well as a thoughtful selection of beer, wine, and Irish spirits. Featured cocktails include the Joxer’s Irish Coffee (Tullamore D.E.W., hot coffee, salted caramel, whipped cream), Bonus Points Boilermaker (a pint of Guinness served with a shot of Teeling Small Batch Whiskey, Cacao, and Cassis), and Zamboni Negroni (Sipsmith Gin, Italian Bitters, Sweet Vermouth, Dunkin’ Donuts Cold Brew, Rhubarb). The food menu will include cold-weather warmers including Ham and Cheese Toasties, Guinness Glazed Ribs, Baked Mac and Cheese, Corned Beef Tacos, and a classic Irish Spice Bag.
Programming at Joxer’s will include all major league games and events, with the option to request specific channels in The Bungalows and Cottages. Game nights and other special themed moments will be announced on a rolling basis. Guests will further be able to get in on the action throughout the entire space via arcade games, pool, foosball and more. In addition, guests can continue to enjoy skating The Rooftop’s Ice Rink.
The Rooftop at Pier 17 is New York City’s most dynamic open-air entertainment venue, which during summers also hosts live concerts. Set five stories above the East River, guests visiting this winter’s The Dead Rabbit pop-up on The Rooftop will enjoy skyline views of such iconic landmarks as the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, and One World Trade Center.
Hint for the Average Socialite: The Dead Rabbit Presents Joxer’s on The Rooftop at Pier 17 will be open seven days a week. Stay tuned to RooftopatPier17.com for the full sports programming schedule to be available.
