Jane was by far the highlight of the visit. From the moment we walked in her personality and enthusiasm was evident. She is so knowledgeable about spirits and loves to share that with her customers.

Drinks were pricey so come with your bucks but they are really good and the bartenders are personable. I should have seen if I could get the book. One of the bartenders was talking about Caroline Shaw, then he came to us talking about J. Cole, since we were there for his show at MSG. I tried the Oaxacan Old Fashioned, Naked and Famous and a Doctor Isley, and a Mai Tai.

Visiting Death & Co was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was intimate, with a perfect mix of sleek sophistication and cozy charm. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, guiding us through the menu with expertise.
I tried a few cocktails featuring mezcal, and they were absolutely incredible. Each drink had a perfect balance of smoky depth from the mezcal, paired with unique ingredients that created rich, complex flavors. The craftsmanship in every pour was evident, and it was clear that the bartenders are true artists.
It’s not just a bar; it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be back for more of those mezcal masterpieces.
Death & Company is a cornerstone of New York City’s cocktail scene and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates expertly crafted drinks. Tucked away in the East Village, this speakeasy-style bar offers an intimate and moody ambiance, perfect for a date night or catching up with friends.
The cocktail menu is innovative and ever-evolving, featuring a perfect balance of classics and creative concoctions. The bartenders are true artisans, happy to recommend something based on your preferences or even whip up a custom drink tailored to your taste.
While the space is small and often has a wait, it’s absolutely worth it. The service is polished, and the attention to detail in both the drinks and the experience is impeccable. For a truly memorable cocktail night in NYC, Death & Company is hard to beat
This spot had been on my bucket list for a while, and it didn’t disappoint. Nestled in the Lower East Side, it’s the kind of place you might miss without a quick online search.The speakeasy-style ambiance was fantastic, and the bartenders were true masters of their craft. The cocktails more than lived up to their stellar reputation, perfectly complemented by the delicious small bites.Though I stopped at two drinks, the menu was so tempting I could have stayed sipping all night.

While we were waiting for our reservation at a restaurant in the area, we chance to stumble onto this location. We arrived only a few minutes before the doors opened, and although there were a few people in the little queue before of us, we were seated as soon as possible. We just bought cocktails because we were going to dinner, but they were excellent! Our favorite was definitely the antique egg nog. There is a wonderful vibe. I really enjoyed how snug and dark it is.

Intimate and dimly lit spot for cocktails. Pretty good drinks. The legacy Honshu Punch was especially my favorite. Ideal for groups of 1-4. Very prompt service from the bartenders too.
Terrific place to get great craft cocktails. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

I remember this place fondly from years ago. It’s still a fun scene. Small but feels roomy. Unfortunately, the drinks were a little lacking. Everything I ordered lacked the flavor profile described on the menu. The one drink I ordered, which was supposed to be passion fruit-forward according to the server, had absolutely no flavor of passionfruit. It supposedly also contained coconut milk (again no such flavor was detected). Seemed like it was mostly ice to me. My other drink lacked the fruit notes that were described in the menu. It tasted mostly of basil. Which is fine, but not the balance of beautiful flavors I was expecting. The server and all bartenders just seemed to be churning out drinks. Frankly, I think they are understaffed.

We have been wanting to visit Death & Co for a while and this time we were finally able to make it happen. A group of us was in town for my birthday, and when my husband made the reservation, he mentioned the occasion. When we arrived at the bar, there was a handwritten note on the table wishing me a happy birthday. The five of us all ordered our first drink from the menu, and every single one of us loved them. I ordered the Rolling Blackout and fell in love at first sip. Our bartender, Justin, helped us all with a second round. This time most of us ordered a "dealer's choice" and he hit it out of the park for each one.
We found the seating arrangement to be a bit challenging for five people. The table was small, and one of us was in the corner with little wiggle room. Additionally, the bar was really busy and because we had to wait for our drinks to arrive, we were offered a complimentary bowl of popcorn (which was delicious). While we had noticed it was taking a long time to get our drinks, we didn't mentioned anything to the staff, so that was a nice surprise. Because of how busy it was, we couldn't order another drink. I'm not sure if that was a staffing issue or just indicative of a busy weekend evening. We actually did order another round, but shortly after, Justin came back to let us know that there wasn't enough time left on our reservation for another drink. He was very apologetic and we all knew he wasn't at fault.
Even with these minor issues, I still highly recommend Death & Co to any cocktail enthusiast out there. We will definitely be back next time we're in town, and hopefully with better seating and a little more time.
