Step into a dimly lit, gothic-inspired speakeasy renowned for its innovative cocktails and knowledgeable staff. Since 2006, this East Village gem has been a leader in the cocktail scene, offering a curated menu organized by flavor profiles. While the focus is on expertly crafted drinks like the smoky Occam Razor or the floral Parasol Dance, they also offer small bites including a highly-praised lamb burger and cookies.
While primarily a celebrated cocktail bar, Death & Co offers a selection of refined bar food. Standouts include a highly-rated lamb burger and 'milk and cookies' for dessert. The menu also features items like popcorn, pickles, crudo, and bruschetta, complementing the extensive drink offerings.
"Highly recommended are the 'Occam Razor' cocktail, featuring mezcal and matcha coconut cream, and the 'Parasol Dance' for a lighter, floral option. For food, the lamb burger and milk & warm cookies are noted as excellent choices."
Customers overwhelmingly praise the bar for its exceptional and creative cocktails, knowledgeable staff, and sophisticated atmosphere. While some acknowledge it can be difficult to get in, the experience is generally considered well worth the hype.
