The Dead Rabbit

Austin - 2024

The Dead Rabbit is one of the world’s most awarded bars, and we are proud to be their creative partner as they embark on a journey to become the best Irish bar in every major city across the country.

Presently, The Dead Rabbit is bringing the Irish pub into the 21st century, celebrating what it means to be Irish today. Through food and drink, Irish creatives, musicians, photographers, artists and more, TDR is growing its platform and collaborating with like minded creators, makers and artists to showcase the best that Ireland has to offer.

Crown Creative was tasked with designing a flexible arrangement in the premises of the new Austin bar so the space could seamlessly transition from a daytime cafe to a nighttime events space. Through a warm colour palette of mossy greens and milky whites, low lit lighting and a variation of timber tones, including TDR’s signature American Walnut wood, we transformed this former lobby area into an inviting, elevated spot for both coffee and whiskey lovers alike.
