Owner of the World's Best Bar crowns Belfast bartender winner of coveted prize
Sean, who opened The Dead Rabbit in New York with Jack McGarry after meeting at Belfast’s Merchant Hotel where they worked as bartenders, helped judge the contest which saw eight of Northern Ireland’s best bartending talents pitted against one another. The finalists were tested on their taste, product knowledge and cocktail creation.
Winner Nicole Kane will be given the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the world-famous pub in New York, which has become a legendary success story in the pub industry since it opened in 2012.
