Jude Law's latest crime thriller, Black Rabbit, has landed on Netflix, plunging viewers into the heart of New York's underworld.

The British actor stars alongside Jason Bateman, famed for his roles in Ozark and Arrested Development.

The plot centres around a popular New York restaurant owner who invites his troubled brother back into the family business, triggering a series of events that threaten to destroy everything they've built.

The show primarily takes place in the eponymous bar and restaurant, Black Rabbit, with the city of New York providing a menacing backdrop to the story's many dark twists and turns.

But where exactly was the series filmed? Is The Black Rabbit a real establishment? Which bar was used to create the illusion? Here's all you need to know.

According to Netflix Junkies, the production team chose to film on location in New York, lending the show a more authentic feel than if it had been shot entirely on a sound stage.

The report also reveals that filming took place in April 2024, with several real-world locations being utilised.

Both Bateman and Law were spotted in various parts of New York City during filming, including Coney Island, Manhattan and Brooklyn , reports the Mirror.

At one point, Bateman was photographed in full costume, sparking intrigue among fans as he looked almost unrecognisable from his previous roles.

However, a standout location is the venue that doubles as the Black Rabbit itself. The Netflix series utilised a former real-life venue with a rich history for its prized setting.

That is the now permanently shut Bridge Cafe, a historic site and once iconic destination in New York City. It's situated under the Brooklyn Bridge, which allows the show to capture a memorable shot in an early episode.

Interestingly, despite its most recent name being Bridge Cafe, the building itself stood for around a century before the nearby bridge was erected. According to a horror blog post, the spot has a fascinating history of its own.

Since 1794, the building is believed to have served as a brothel, a pirate bar, packing store, Hungarian restaurant, and even more. It's also reportedly haunted.

One ghostly resident is said to be a former Irish bouncer who would slice off ears of visitors who misbehaved. There's also a tale of the spirit of a thirsty pirate who dropped in for a rum.

The venue was damaged during Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and its owners never reopened. It closed its doors for good in 2020.

However, images on Google Maps show the building matching the show's aesthetic.

So, while fans of the show can technically visit the location, they can no longer grab a drink there.
