LisaMarch 14, 2014Good selection of cocktails, great atmosphere, plus the bathroom smells amazing and has 3 jars of essentials - mints, matches, and tampons.
Mike O'SullivanApril 21, 2015Great underground cocktail spot. Good for a weekday, late night cocktail for two.
Each cocktail is like a work of art! Great service, absinthe owls and the prettiest smelling WC ever!
Jon HavenhillOctober 23, 2018Great cocktails! Very interesting menu and flavors you don’t usually find
Candice DSouzaNovember 30, 2016Fantastic cocktails and a great speakeasy vibe. Try not to steal their menu. 😉
Tom DiMaggioJuly 11, 2016Nice cocktail menu! Place was pretty small, we had to squeeze in on the side of the bar, but I would try them again.
DipsologySeptember 27, 2015This underground cocktail den is perfect for a date or final stop before heading home. Natasha David and the Death & Co team do a stellar job.
Lauren AlexaSeptember 28, 2016Expensive, but getting at least one cocktail here is definitely worth it. Perfect for a date!
DarynaDecember 22, 2014Yay! My type of bar!! Small, dark, good vibe. Drinks are fabulous! Will def come back.
Adelina TaftsiouApril 8, 2016The bee's knees drink.😆 P.s sorry for the foul language in the pic -👻 bukur0she (add meh🙃)
The cocktail menu is particularly unique. Try the Bananerac and feel your liver groan in protest.

Kathryn DJune 18, 2017Fancy cocktails in a designed but not pretentious space. Dance tunes make for a festive outing.
Luc DoanApril 4, 2016Nice basement bar. Music was on point during my Saturday night visit. Service was attentive despite the crowd. My drinks were good but not great
MaximilianMay 4, 2016Coolest menu in NYC! Have fun completing the word search while enjoying a delicious cocktail.
Menu changes seasonally! My favorite name from Winter 2014 is 'Platonic Snuggle'
Matthew FergusonApril 29, 2017At the "Long Distance Lover" drink. Especially if you like tiki-style cocktails!
Marie PorrasAugust 6, 2016Nice and cosy. Not hidden anymore as the facade bar is doing building works.
Somnath SureshMay 26, 2014Don't get the Green Thumb. It's like a smoothie. Get the moon suit and enjoy the absinthe.
Dolapo FalolaMay 21, 2014the bananarac is like a sazerac with banana liqueur and it is... wait for it... bananas!
Cocktail MagicMarch 21, 2016Class Act was the signature cocktail featured at Cocktail Magic. Read more
Vincent Vin volDecember 7, 2014Haven't been surprised by any cocktail. Tried 8 different and none were special :(
Asli SOctober 21, 2017Very small, cozy & hot. Pricey drinks. I’d avoid the Mind Bender, had a very weird taste. They gave us Hershey kisses with the check which was cute :)
DinaApril 24, 2014Just opened to great fanfare from owners of Death and Co. Supposedly is where other mixologists go to drink.
Jeremy Scott FosterAugust 8, 2014Delicious late night cocktails, from a new venture by the Death & Co family.
Sam ShrubbJune 1, 2014Boring, could be any place in the world. The drinks were all very sweet and not well balanced (I had tastes of 4). Wow is the menu difficult to read. So many better cocktail places nearby.
