We popped in around 11 pm on a Sunday and only had to wait about 15 minutes for a spot at the bar. The menu has a good variety for vegetarians. Everything was top notch- drinks, snacks, service. We had a great time!
We didn’t make any reservation- just got a table by walking in. We had to wait for like 5-6 mins. It was a weekday.
We tried a bunch of drinks- mostly whiskey based. It was strong but really flavourful. We did order popcorn with it but it was pretty cold.
The service was good. The overall vibe is pretty good however it’s a little dark place. Good for date nights but might be slightly loud.
I always wrote this place off as a tourist trap until I finally saw it for myself. The cocktails are incredibly good and strong enough to tranquilize a horse. The menu is extensive, so no matter what your liquor preference, you'll likely find something to your liking. The service and atmosphere are also great for the price point (they don't rush you out the door), although it's louder inside than I'd anticipated.
I don't think people are exactly flocking to this place for the food, but what I've eaten has been good. Those COCKTAILS, though! That's what it's about! And the atmosphere! My husband and I took our son, who just accepted a position as an Assistant Professor and has been a HUGE fan of Death & Co for years. Perfect place to toast to his new career! We were glad we arrived early because the place is small and a line does form, so be ready for that. Make a reservation, if you can!
Service has been super both times we have visited! Oh, and I loved that they had my info in the system from our first visit, so when we arrived the second time they knew my name. Nice touch!
We'll be back!
Very hip cocktail bar. The line to get in was a little confusing and weird but once we were seated the place was very intimate and cozy. Great drinks, but I would recommend that you order a classic cocktail instead of the more “adventurous” drinks if you are picky. But it’s always fun to try something new if you’re in the adventurous mood! Also the chicken was so good.
My wife and I came for the first time on 7/12/23 and had a great experience. We sat at the bar so we could “be in on the action” and loved the whole vibe.
Tiffany was our bartender and she was incredible - very kind, generous, and easy to chat with. We had a couple rounds of drinks and she was very helpful.
The drinks were great, and my personal favorite was the “Achilles Last Stand”. It was a mezcal cocktail that seemed to linger in the best way possible.
Highly recommend and I can’t wait to come back.
Amazing well crafted drinks and atmosphere! It's definitely worth getting there early to secure seats as this place is popular. Expect a refined and moody atmosphere with fabulous drinks and talented bartenders. Our favourite drinks were The Doctor Isley and Firebird
A good looking bar, low ceilings, a bit narrow, very cozy. If you sit at the bar you might get bumped as people try to navigate to the bathroom because there’s not too much space between tables and the bar seats.
Bartender was not very friendly, but overall vibes were accepting and the people at the door were really cool and friendly.
Our visit to Death & Co in New York was delightful! The staff offered great recommendations for cocktails, and we thoroughly enjoyed their delicious creations. The cozy ambiance added to the overall experience. A great spot for cocktail enthusiasts looking to savor expertly crafted drinks!
Lives up to the hype. Great selection of cocktails and the ambiance is spectacular. We tried to drop in on a busy Friday night, only to be told it would be an hour wait. Victoria, working the door took our name and had us txt when we were getting done with dinner and she would work us in. That she did, we came back after dinner and got us in. Thank you
