Serious EatsSeptember 13, 2013Excellent cocktails here in a studiously quiet setting, but be prepared for waits up to several hours long.
Linda HarrisonJuly 11, 2018Love it!! Great vibe, and super romantic, the whole place is lit by candle light. Albeit expensive, but great cocktails.
Marc SMay 24, 2015Choice of all the standard cocktails, some classics resurrected or reinvented, and their own concoctions.
Fantastic cocktails, can't be passed over. Look out for the lack of a double door set up. Brutal draft every time someone enters or exits in the winter.
Simon LafontDecember 17, 2015You have to wait but you have a seating place for sure. The big cocktails was really good and strong. Very nice service.
Badriyah ZuubeckJanuary 6, 2012bartenders are def alcohol scientist! and the food is amazing, I was raving about how amazing the food the mini burgers and the steak and asparagus wow! my mouth was exploding
Damon SununtnasukApril 21, 2017A little bit on its high horse. The Manhattan looked good. The Negroni was too small and weak. Nice speakeasy atmosphere and glassware
Alexandros PlexidasMay 4, 2016Mostly enjoyed the music selection in this bar. Low light atmosphere, good cocktails and no issue finding a seat on a Sunday evening.
BarChickAugust 14, 2013This place screams naughty, so we’re into it. Soft jazz playing in the background makes BarChick wonder which of her lovers she will bring here. http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/new-york/death-co-1
Uber NYCMarch 28, 2013The best cocktail bar in EV. Decor & atmosphere are phenomenal. Pricey, but worth every penny if you're trying to impress. Try on a weeknight to avoid the wait.
Olivia SlutskyApril 28, 2016Delicious cocktails. Warm, cozy vibes. It can take some time to get in but it's worth the wait.
Warning: once you have a cocktail here, you will no longer settle for poorly made drinks. Bartenders are some of the best in the world. If there is a wait list, get on it & head over to Vandaag.
Elysia MannOctober 31, 2014Every drink is delicious in its own right, but know what you want when grilling your waitress or bartender for suggestions.
Bartender's choice is always best. Describe your desired flavor profile and spirit and you will get the drinks of your dreams.
Chase CarrollMarch 26, 2015This place knows it's cocktails. The entire atmosphere is fantastic. Be sure not to miss the Oaxaca Old Fashioned.
Emily KaneJanuary 5, 2016Worth the wait for a fun experience. Your out of town friends will be impressed with this place.
René LePaulJuly 27, 2016One of the best bars in the country. Cocktails made to PERFECTION! Hotel California is my fave!
Ranu RajkarnikarDecember 2, 2014The cocktails are pretty good, but even cooler is the vibe. Great music playing and a dark, cozy space.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsAugust 3, 2015If you must attend on a weekend, try to get there either around 18:00 when it opens, or around midnight. Read more
Alexandria McGrathJune 26, 2018The menu at this influential bar includes punches, juleps, drinks made with Spanish spirits, and plenty of whiskey-based cocktails.
Eliza KNovember 8, 2013Another great speak easy style bar, put your name in with the guy standing outside. Walk around the village a little until they call you.
ginnnnnnny 🦀February 28, 2018Good cocktail and good atmosphere but nothing that stands out. Will be my first alternative if I can’t get into PDT or Angel’s Share...
Jeremy AndrusJuly 21, 2012Well worth the wait. The cocktails are amazing, and the whiskey is superb: Jekyll and Hyde!
Be prepared to wait, but the cocktails are worth it! Their whiskey section is to die for.
NoviDecember 11, 2019Def a date spot! if you get lucky on a monday, rainy night then there’s no waiting 👌🏻
Princess Abigail BacaniJanuary 23, 2013A storefront on E 6th with wooden panels in place of windows. Death & Co. is printed on metal out front. Give your number to the bouncer at the door. He’ll call you when you can come inside.
Hands down, the best bar in New York, if not the world. You really can't go wrong unless you order a vodka soda.
AmateurConciergeAugust 20, 2015Drinks are good, not great. Vibe is lively speakeasy. Crowd is whoever will wait (often A-Cityers). A/C is lacking in the summer. There are better cocktail spots, but D&C deserves its rep and history
Yera HaOctober 17, 2015You can't go wrong with the bartender's choice. Just be sure you know your "flavor profile."- 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.
Henry BridgeJanuary 12, 2016Knowledgeable if not overly friendly bartenders. Bartenders choice after I said I liked Old Fashioneds were a delicious Jekyll & Hyde and tasty tequila old fashioned.
Stephanie ZhongOctober 29, 2014Dimly lit atmosphere. Often plays danc-ey music. Cocktails are very good (but nothing too memorable). If you really want to carry a good convo, go to milk and honey instead
Vicki MMarch 15, 2015The cocktails are exceptional. Worth being put on the wait list and coming back for the experience.
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
Rafi RomeroMay 19, 2017go bartender's choice. tell them your favorite flavor profile and they will deliver. if you try to guess on your own from the menu you might be disappointed
Honghui YuNovember 25, 2018Delicious and inventive cocktails but hard to get in especially in a weekend night.
Jyoti HalarnakarJuly 18, 2017Love the drinks here, but it's impossible to get a seat unless you go right when it opens
FACOctober 14, 2010I tried the Double barrel julep and the Pendennis club cocktail when I was there on my first night in NYC from STL. EXCELLENT! No need to say any more - except "JUST GO".
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.
Matt HantzJune 1, 2012Huge list of delicious cocktails, but if you don't see what you want (like something from an older menu), just ask; they'll make anything.- Thomas MoJuly 27, 2013Come here with a party of 6 or 7 to easily get a seat. Strong drinks, try the heart shaped box.
Matthew PiresJanuary 19, 2016This place is amazing! So many good drinks. Come early or expect a long wait.
Willem Van LanckerAugust 24, 2015Quintessential speakeasy — long waits, pricey drinks, dark interior. Feels more like a winter spot (read: it has no windows) for a date than anything else.
Unconventional tapas, in a dark and mysterious, chandelier and candle lit atmosphere. The doors outside and lack of windows makes this place difficult to find from the outside.
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
Chet ManciniApril 11, 2015Lots of seating, great decor, and one of the best cocktail menus in the city.
