Death & Co

East Village · Est. 2006

The Philosophy

A pioneer of the modern cocktail renaissance, Death & Co opened on New Year's Eve 2006 in a dimly lit East Village space. The name comes from the Prohibition-era phrase for stopping drinking — ironic for a bar that has launched countless careers and defined cocktail culture worldwide. Bartenders in bow ties and suspenders craft intricate drinks using house-made syrups, fresh juices, and rare spirits. Every visit feels like stepping into a secret society of liquid alchemy.
