One 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

Huge 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.

Heaven: sitting in a darkened, romantic bar that looks pre-Prohibition, sipping smart concoctions made by smart barkeeps, making this place heaven on earth.

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.

Great selection of inventive, tasty cocktails. The Fistful of Dollars and Beach Goth were both very good.
Harry RobertsApril 2, 2017
Absolutely, by far, the best bar I have ever been to. In the world.
Elysia MannOctober 31, 2014
Every drink is delicious in its own right, but know what you want when grilling your waitress or bartender for suggestions.
Matthew PiresJanuary 19, 2016
This place is amazing! So many good drinks. Come early or expect a long wait.

Hands down, the best bar in New York, if not the world. You really can't go wrong unless you order a vodka soda.
Michael AnthonyJune 6, 2022
Great vibe with even better cocktails
Jyoti HalarnakarJuly 18, 2017
Love the drinks here, but it's impossible to get a seat unless you go right when it opens
Alex FishMarch 21, 2014
Let the bartenders know the type of drink you want, and how you like it and they will take care of the rest

As always, if you have a great bartender, trust them.

This place is expensive, but it's my absolute favorite fancy cocktail bar in the city. Everything is great. Everything.

Menu changes frequently -- talk to the bartender and see if there are any other options they can work up.

Speakeasy. Worth the wait time. Table service only, because the cocktails are that amazing.

Small plates of truffle fries, pork belly and goat cheese profiteroles; with fantastically crafted cocktails. Try the Black Magic, it's unique!

From Team Ivanka: known for incredible cocktails and a dark, moody lounge-y vibe. Read more

Come at the right time (e.g., Sunday at 6pm) and you won't have to wait.
Madhav GhantaFebruary 28, 2012
no where near as ominous as its name implies... very chic intimate lounge with chandeliers, dark walls and very, very gourmet cocktails/drinks + bar menu!
Simon VreemanMay 4, 2019
Good cocktails with mezcal and oysters. What could possibly go wrong?
Colton StaabJune 24, 2019
Excellent (albeit pricey) cocktail list that changes seasonally
Andrew WhiteOctober 7, 2015
Pretty damn good. Their book on cocktails is a standard tome in most good cocktail bars
Elizabeth BursteinFebruary 6, 2022
Loved the egg nog cocktail, brown butter popcorn, and others
GaryApril 16, 2013
Another awesome craft cocktail bar. There are so many in NY, but you can't go wrong with Death & Co.
EM H.September 1, 2018
Love the dark, intimate atmosphere which compliment their cocktails
Gio PanMay 7, 2017
"Strange Encounters": amazing. There are cocktails with ginger. But honey made this something else.
Sonia GrobmanOctober 8, 2014
They make their dirty Martinis with pickled green tomatoes instead of olives... And it may be the greatest martini I have ever tasted.
Irakli AgladzeJanuary 5, 2016
The best cocktail bar in the world. Period.
DipsologyJuly 31, 2012
Try the Lin Baba Daiquiri with Scarlet Ibis, Appleton V/X, Lime Juice, Cinnamon Bark, Ginger Syrup, Orgeat, Green Curry Leaves
Megan AnanianDecember 1, 2016
Best speakeasy in NYC. Literary theme makes us book nerds swoon.
Chris LauberFebruary 22, 2012
Ask Erin to make you an amazing cocktail! She may be new, but she shows all the skills of an established death and co. Mixologist.
Jinnie LOctober 1, 2014
Sit at the bar ;) my fav. is petticoat. (Their menu changes frequently)
Debora OlssonApril 2, 2015
Ask the bartender for whatever you're in the mood for and he'll deliver beyond your expectations!
Village VoiceAugust 31, 2010
One of our 10 best Manhattan bars- Expertly made cocktails somehow manage to remain in the realm of the relatively simple. Delicious bar snacks help you prolong your stay.
lisa bessermanOctober 24, 2012
Tell the bartender what flavors you like and let them decide your drink. Cool decor, lighting, and suspenders!
Harish HoonJanuary 29, 2015
Great spot. Once again I go with whatever the bartender recommends!
Thomas MoJuly 27, 2013
Come here with a party of 6 or 7 to easily get a seat. Strong drinks, try the heart shaped box.
Cecilia BodinAugust 22, 2014
Ask the bartender,Tyson, to make you a cachaça drink with honey and passion fruit
Justin BJuly 28, 2013
Try "Tea Time at Guillermo's." A classy and unique tequila drink.
Nikki 🌺October 7, 2012
Oh my, strong cocktails. One and done! House of Payne was tasty but only if you like Campari & gin.
KarenMarch 4, 2016
The cheese and charcuterie plates were laughably small. I can get a much more generous serving for less at similar bars (The Ship). Cocktails were good though.
Eidan SpiegelMarch 21, 2016
Fistful of dollars cocktail was very good. The atmosphere is amazing.

Order an Oaxacan Old Fashioned. It's going to be unbelievably smooth, so don't forget to remember it's alcoholic.
Luke GeeNovember 30, 2014
Everything! Awesome atmosphere, drinks are tasty and affordable
Craig AustinDecember 12, 2014
Come early and get in without trouble. Fantastic people and place.
Phoenix 💥💥💥November 7, 2014
Sit at the bar! The bartenders are some of the best in the city!
E HOctober 23, 2015
The Cadmean Victory. So smooth, you wanna drink it in one swig. Careful though!
sarah vergaraAugust 29, 2011

Cameron HendrixJune 10, 2013
Ask for 'The Devil Inside', a Scotch and Rye Whiskey based cocktail served neat
