BravoJanuary 27, 2010One of the best cocktails I tried this year was at Death & Co. Gin, cinnamon, bark syrup, and chardonnay. It made a completely different taste and alchemy in my mouth. -Elizabeth Falkner, Top Chef M
Dilara CumhurOctober 1, 2016Amazing cocktails, need to sign up in couple hours in advance. Classic speakeasy experience
- Maria Del RussoFebruary 25, 2012Fantastic place to go for your first drink of the night. Go early and with a small group - they can't accommodate a party larger than 7.
Zohreen AdamjeeMay 17, 2011Mac & cheese is amazing and served beautifully (picture doesn't do justice) & French 95 is good for a dude drink
Put in your name and hang out somewhere else for 2 hours. Then get the truffel mac and cheese, braised pork belly, and anything alcoholic you're liver wished you wouldn't force on it.
Calvin MultanenJune 1, 2015Great selection of inventive, tasty cocktails. The Fistful of Dollars and Beach Goth were both very good.
Elysia MannOctober 31, 2014Every drink is delicious in its own right, but know what you want when grilling your waitress or bartender for suggestions.
Matthew PiresJanuary 19, 2016This place is amazing! So many good drinks. Come early or expect a long wait.
Jyoti HalarnakarJuly 18, 2017Love the drinks here, but it's impossible to get a seat unless you go right when it opens
Hands down, the best bar in New York, if not the world. You really can't go wrong unless you order a vodka soda.
Men's Health MagNovember 10, 2011Heaven: sitting in a darkened, romantic bar that looks pre-Prohibition, sipping smart concoctions made by smart barkeeps, making this place heaven on earth.
Alex FishMarch 21, 2014Let the bartenders know the type of drink you want, and how you like it and they will take care of the rest
Amol KAugust 3, 2016Menu changes frequently -- talk to the bartender and see if there are any other options they can work up.
Sonia GrobmanOctober 8, 2014They make their dirty Martinis with pickled green tomatoes instead of olives... And it may be the greatest martini I have ever tasted.
SiovonneAugust 26, 2014Speakeasy. Worth the wait time. Table service only, because the cocktails are that amazing.
This place is expensive, but it's my absolute favorite fancy cocktail bar in the city. Everything is great. Everything.
Madhav GhantaFebruary 28, 2012no where near as ominous as its name implies... very chic intimate lounge with chandeliers, dark walls and very, very gourmet cocktails/drinks + bar menu!
Andrew WhiteOctober 7, 2015Pretty damn good. Their book on cocktails is a standard tome in most good cocktail bars
Gio PanMay 7, 2017"Strange Encounters": amazing. There are cocktails with ginger. But honey made this something else.
Small plates of truffle fries, pork belly and goat cheese profiteroles; with fantastically crafted cocktails. Try the Black Magic, it's unique!
Gary PeckApril 16, 2013Another awesome craft cocktail bar. There are so many in NY, but you can't go wrong with Death & Co.
Debora OlssonApril 2, 2015Ask the bartender for whatever you're in the mood for and he'll deliver beyond your expectations!
KarenMarch 4, 2016The cheese and charcuterie plates were laughably small. I can get a much more generous serving for less at similar bars (The Ship). Cocktails were good though.
DipsologyJuly 31, 2012Try the Lin Baba Daiquiri with Scarlet Ibis, Appleton V/X, Lime Juice, Cinnamon Bark, Ginger Syrup, Orgeat, Green Curry Leaves
Chris LauberFebruary 22, 2012Ask Erin to make you an amazing cocktail! She may be new, but she shows all the skills of an established death and co. Mixologist.
lisa bessermanOctober 24, 2012Tell the bartender what flavors you like and let them decide your drink. Cool decor, lighting, and suspenders!
- Cecilia BodinAugust 22, 2014Ask the bartender,Tyson, to make you a cachaça drink with honey and passion fruit
Village VoiceAugust 31, 2010One of our 10 best Manhattan bars- Expertly made cocktails somehow manage to remain in the realm of the relatively simple. Delicious bar snacks help you prolong your stay.- Thomas MoJuly 27, 2013Come here with a party of 6 or 7 to easily get a seat. Strong drinks, try the heart shaped box.
Nikki 🌺October 7, 2012Oh my, strong cocktails. One and done! House of Payne was tasty but only if you like Campari & gin.
Order an Oaxacan Old Fashioned. It's going to be unbelievably smooth, so don't forget to remember it's alcoholic.
Brandon F.May 8, 2015Like gin? Try the Paper Tiger? Like more gin? Try Electric Alice. That minx. Drinkable orgasms.
