The Life of Reilly

When the team at The Dead Rabbit told us in the basement of San Patricios there was an opportunity for another bar, and they wanted us to help them develop the identity for a new speakeasy style cocktail lounge that was inspired by music halls, vaudeville and theatre we were beside ourselves with excitement.

The identity itself is steeped in references from Irish and American stage culture. Old playbills, signage, and all the quirky details that come with theatre. It had to feel authentic and lived in, in order to match the wider concept and interiors.

Everything element of the space has been considered including 40+ pieces of artwork by acclaimed Irish artist Brendan Foreman, former resident graphic designer at the Abbey Theatre. It truly is a special and very fun room to be in.

Also, yes they are original old-school Guinness Tankards!
