The most incredible bar I've ever visited. Nerdy and passionate bartenders, inventive cocktails, and some of the best fried chicken I've tasted. I'm so happy we were able to make this stop in DC. It was everything promised and then some!

A really cool vibe and excellent cocktails. Not quite a speakeasy but the door is hidden away inconspicuously in Blagden Alley and it has that secretive vibe. It can often take a short wait to get seated, but the unique array of well-crafted house cocktails is worth it. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly even on a busy night. The atmosphere is cozy and eclectic, especially with the slanted skylights.

I have been twice now just for drinks and both times to celebrate a birthday. Firstly the drinks are fantastic and more along the lines of a science experiment or work of art. The menu changes so you need to just see what you like. Second, every bartender seems to be highly knowledgeable about the drinks and how to guide you to the right one. Would recommend but it is pricey so be prepared. Service is also fantastic, lighting is very low but appropriate for the atmosphere.
Edited to add that the tall drink is not water, it was a clarified drink and was delish.

A quick visit before going with friends or to an investor meeting. I had a solo seat at the outside bar. Service was average, cocktails uninspiring and the Old Fashioned had ice spilling over. No food was offered and didn't feel like asking Hopefully a seat inside is a better experience

I really enjoyed everything about death and co. The drinks were complex and delicious, our server Grant was wonderful, and the atmosphere was cozy and vibrant. I will definitely be back to try some more things. I got the cherry bomb gimlet which was sweet but not too sweet and had a lingering of pear. I don’t remember the name of the other drink but it was similar to an old fashioned but had more of a smoke flavor to it. We also got their chips, olives, and popcorn to snack on and they were all good.

I was very excited to try this place and unfortunately didn’t get to try it. When I went to the NYC location the host at the door was extremely attentive and communicative while in DC we got a security employee stating that it was only through reservation we could go in. If you go to the Death and Co Dc website it clearly says that walk ins are welcome. I would suggest for a Death & Co host to actually be there to receive the customers that are excited to try the ambiance and drinks of this place.
We had a bit of a confusing time with bringing our four month old baby here. They don't explicitly say no babies anywhere on the web and they don't have a phone to call to ask. And when we arrived the door guy downstairs said no one under 21 including babies, but the check in upstairs told us we could bring a baby into the patio area but not the inside area.
All staff we talked to were empathetic and understanding including giving us the back service elevator to move our stroller, but it seemed like there wasn't really a rule in place and definitely no way to know ahead of time. Before anyone jumps in to say, why babies at a bar, the baby was sleeping and we dropped probably $600 at our table. Ultimately, we're just a couple of parents trying to have a drink with friends. Thanks for accommodating!

Wonderful cocktails and excellent service. Both times I’ve been, I asked the bartender for suggestions and got delightful drinks both from the menu and not. (Both times were at moments when they weren’t too busy.) I look forward to going back.

Wow! I want to start by saying our server Jordan was fantastic and really knew his cocktails.
I would go into Death & Co with the intention of trying something very different and unexpected.
For my first cocktail I asked for something on the first two pages that didn't have tequila/mezcal and he picked the Staycation Essentials cocktail which I would have passed over entirely and it was fantastic!
The second round I gave him full reign to pick and loved his second choice Forefather as well!

What an amazing spot with incredible cocktails, knowledgeable and friendly staff and the best management ever!!! From the gracious host who greeted us to the bartenders inside and outside (we tried the cocktails at both bars--they are different yet equally amazing in their own right) to Josh, the GM, we felt like we hit the jackpot with our Friday night outing. Would come here with a couple of friends or bring a group--Death & Co. hit all the markers!! Insider Tip: Mellow Wolfe inside is named after Josh's precious son--it is a MUST TRY!!
