The Mary Pickford cocktail at Blacktail

Just a couple of months before The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog took the top spot on the World's 50 Best Bars list from Drinks International magazine, owners Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry unveiled their newest venture: BlackTail.

While only less than a mile away from its award-winning sister bar, BlackTail's atmosphere and cocktail recipes are world's apart from The Dead Rabbit. BlackTail transports you to 1920s Havana, Cuba, serving up colorful, punchy, and, at times, fruity cocktails.

We met with BlackTail's bar manager and cocktail aficionado, Jesse Vida, to get the full story behind this beautiful new bar, located at the very southern tip of Manhattan in Battery Park.
