Incredible cocktails, great atmosphere, a must visit while in NYC. ”
- “
Very cool and sophisticated decor. ”
- “
The ambiance left a lot to be desired, the decor far from impressive, and very few tables looked as though they were actually having a good time. ”
- “
While the bar has an interesting atmosphere inside and cool decor, I would not go back again based on my friends experience with the doorman. ”
- “
Great, comfortable space/decor, nice mix of people (locals, business types, various ages, etc.), very good music (mostly jazz, at perfect volume), fantastic cocktails, great wine selections, excellent service, and delicious, creative (but not overly so) ”
- “
Simply not worth the effort for a slightly above average cocktail, attitude at the door, and like many others have said, a very dry atmosphere inside. ”
- “
Very impressive and fun every time. ”
- “
Great idea, great atmosphere AWFUL seats, overly long tables, make sure you get it stirred. ”
- “
Def not romantic b/c its ridiculously loud. ”

The decor is cool, but one look around and you? ”

Incredible cocktails, great atmosphere, a must visit while in NYC. ”

Food and drinks are great only if you can pass the PMSing doorman. ”
- “
so, if you can get through the annoying people at the front, then you will be able to enjoy the drinks- which were creative, good and strong. ”
- “
The place is beautiful, with a long white marble bar and chandeliers over the front two booths. ”
- “
Her approach so colored my experience that I couldn't really enjoy what was a truly excellent drink. ”
- “
yes, it was nice not to have people standing on top of you to get a drink, but if they keep it up like this they probably wont get a good turnover rate, no one will get to have a drink and no one will return. ”
- “
And the food was delicious, completely up to par with the cocktails. ”
- “
The interior and vibe are great as are the cocktails. ”
- “
The drinks are the best I've had in quite some time and the selection of liquors was top notch- I found the price to be normal. ”
- “
was shocked that anyone would pour so much money into creating and maintaining a highly decent bar, only to hire this nasty man hiding his perverse disdain for women behind a cleft chin and well-coiffed hair. ”
- “
And, if you don't like the drink menu, the mixologist (not bartender) will make a specialty drink for you? ”
- “
Its great for dates, to have a few drinks with your friends, even to take out cool business associates. ”
- “
It is a qaint bar with good design and good drinks. ”
- “
had also heard the drinks were good there. ”
- “
The cocktails are always fantastic and the crowd is always great - they don't pick and choose so, first come first serve and it seems the early and patient ones are always well dressed and drink well! ”
- “
The drinks are delicious and everything about them is a little work of art. ”
- “
Great, comfortable space/decor, nice mix of people (locals, business types, various ages, etc.), very good music (mostly jazz, at perfect volume), fantastic cocktails, great wine selections, excellent service, and delicious, creative (but not overly so) ”
- “
With so many great NY wine bars, why go to one owned by someone who acts like a thuggish bouncer and verbally abuses women? ”
- “
The drinks were beautiful and worth the wait. ”
- “
Great drinks, attentive staff ”
- “
We got a table (the wait was not bad, have had MUCH worse in New York) and proceeded to order AMAZING cocktails. ”
- “
the drinks and the food continue to get better and the new menu is amazing! ”
- “
every bar in that area is expensive, but when you can walk a block away from this place and get the same drink for $8. ”
- “
This is a unique and one-of-a-kind speakeasy type bar that captures a cocktail lover? ”
- “
Drinks are top notch, only the best spirits are used, and their specialty drinks are truely unique. ”

The best cocktails by far in NYC. ”
- “
agree with the previous review - drinks are excellent, staff is not overly friendly, but knowledgable and know their liquor. ”
- “
the drinks are inventive and outstanding and the bartenders are fun to watch and very friendly. ”
- “
While the bar has an interesting atmosphere inside and cool decor, I would not go back again based on my friends experience with the doorman. ”

- “
The variety of cocktails and tequilas is interesting and of a high quality. ”
- “
am always scouring the city for amazing cocktails, and Death & Co has an interesting list and they were prepared well. ”
- “
The space is poorly designed for what it holds itself out to be -- a quasi speakeasy where you can order mediocre bar food. ”
- “
It has plenty from the etched marble tables to the black napkins to the impressive range of drinks and high quality ingredients. ”
- “
- - Delicious handcrafted drinks, tasty food and wonderful service. ”
- “
The cheese tray had too many soft cheeses for my taste but everything else, including the wine, was very good. ”
- “
You can have nice drinks/eats and it is conducive to intimate conversations. ”
- “
Well, if they bring you a half full $14 martini with a chilled sidecare, that when added, still doesn't make a full drink, it's really not that special or "additional ”
- “
but very good cocktails and blend of beers. ”

Truly Amazing Drinks and great food ”
- “
used to go to this place all the time when I lived in the e vill, and I would happily throw down $13 for a delicious cocktail, but last night I tried to go and the doorman took our number, but then told us that if he didn't call us in 20 minutes then he ”

- “
the drinks and the food continue to get better and the new menu is amazing! ”
- “
They are all small portions which is perfect for sharing and who wants a huge meal at a lounge? ”
- “
We ordered 4 appetizers - a cheese plate, chicken empanadas, crab dip and mac and cheese, which came on these little spoons and were perfect mini-meals in themselves. ”

Great, comfortable space/decor, nice mix of people (locals, business types, various ages, etc.), very good music (mostly jazz, at perfect volume), fantastic cocktails, great wine selections, excellent service, and delicious, creative (but not overly so) ”

The seafood in the shell (forget the name of it), yum. ”

The menu changes with the seasons which is perfect for locals coping with the harsh NY weather, and great for customers like myself because the experience is always fresh and new. ”

One waitress for the entire place had us waiting too long to get our libations, which was frustrating after waiting an hour just to get in. ”

am a huge fan of the core bartenders here, some of the best in the city and all well versed in the classics. ”

And, if you don't like the drink menu, the mixologist (not bartender) will make a specialty drink for you? ”

The wait staff was very friendly and helpful when trying to decide what to order. ”

people like carrie8830877 are the reason this place is so great, namely that they stay away. ”

so, if you can get through the annoying people at the front, then you will be able to enjoy the drinks- which were creative, good and strong. ”

That would have been the best customer service we could have received from Death & Co. ”

The bouncers are friendly, and even if the space is at capacity they will take your name and cell phone number to call you as soon as vacancy is available. ”

They really have a great system not letting more people in until a seat opens up. ”

normal person would have to order, 4-5 of them to fill up, which is sad because each spoonful or bite was absolutely perfect, there just was not enough of it, especially for the money that it would have cost. ”

The large-cube ice is also a rare treat, and the way they break the ice in their hand with a spoon is really an old-fashioned throwback to classy expensive bars. ”
