"A visit to Death & Co. feels like peeking inside of a Rolex. This polished Arts District spot nails the details of a fancy speakeasy-style bar experience: dark hallways, candlelit basement booths, and physical menus that look like art zines. The thoughtfulness carries over to their drinks, too, which include recipes from their original location in NYC plus originals in themes like “Boozy & Honest” or “Light & Playful.” We especially love the bourbon-based Paper Wasp with pinapple chamomile shochu and absinthe. Scoring a walk-in table can be tough throughout the week, so be sure to make a reservation ahead of time for a smooth entrance." - brant cox, sylvio martins
