What People Are Saying About White Rabbit

The Scene – Somehow, city dirt never makes it into this immaculately clean-feeling bar. The blond floors, white walls and low-slung tables and chairs contribute to the thoroughly modern vibe. Couples and small groups perch on stools at the bar or sink into plentiful seating along the walls. A courteous barkeep keeps a vigilant watch over drinks, assuring you'll never be without one, and has Veuve Cliquot on hand for the late-night celebratory crowd. – – The Draw – With decor this minimal, one's eye naturally wanders to the drink list. Wander no further than the ginger…

Friendly staff and environment, liked the laid-back vibe. No pressure to over-order, great location next to the Sunshine Cinema.
Nice Place, Friendly and Mellow

I love coming here for a drink after work. It's a calm, clean environment and I've never had any problems. My friend had her birthday party here, and the staff couldn't have been nicer.
Door policy at white rabbit now!!?!?!?!?
by gnamnori at Citysearch
I used to love this place, I've had 4 of my own bday parties here and recommended several friends to have there's too in the past , it was always a chill place you didnt have to worry about getting in or pay cover, but things seem to have changed.
I rolled by on a Saturday night around 9:30ish with about 9-10 people. It was DEAD empty inside. The guy at the door said if we wanted to go in, all 10 of us HAD to check our coats. We said f it and went somewhere else, we specifically chose this place because I'm not looking for a hassle at a door when I go out.
Maybe its a one off, but I'm turned off enough to not go back to this place any more.
- Pros: used to be a nice spot, cool crowd.
- Cons: NEW DOOR POLICY??
Great staff, Great Cocktails, No Jerks!

I was looking for a place to celebrate my 30th birthday and practically walked past this place a couple of times. It's not just easy to miss on the outside but really low-key on the inside. I spoke to the manager about time and table location and there was no mandatory table/bottle service or a deposit or anything.
The other partygoers in the bar where friendly, fun-loving and attractive with no jerks elbowing there way to the bar or being obnoxious. The DJ kept the party up playing Top40 mixed with some key mixes while the screen showed some abstract stuff to keep everyone visually stimulated. Big shout-out to Orion (sp?) who helped me out from beginning to end. This is going to be a regular spot from now on
- Pros: great to chill on a weekday (not Monday)
Fantastic Staff
by christinashipp at Citysearch
I recently threw a Benefit @ The White Rabbit for my theatre company (FLUX Theatre Ensemble), and I could not have been more impressed with the staff! Orion and John are fantastic bartenders, they were friendly and fast. There are no pretensions here, although the space is lovely and hospitable. Many of my guests commented on what a classy feeling the space had, which was perfect for our event. I would definitely recommend the space for parties, no matter the size. The lounge-y tables and seating can accommodate nearly every size group. Also, the happy hour prices are great. I am definitely returning soon!! Well done, guys!
- Pros: Great bar staff, Fantastic for Parties
