"Every visit to Death & Co. feels like peeking inside of a Rolex. This polished Arts District spot nails the crucial details of an upscale, 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 variations from their original location in NYC, plus originals divided into themes like “Boozy & Honest” or “Light & Playful.” Either way, you can’t go wrong with anything listed in the oversized booklet. We especially love the mezcal-based Snowblind Paloma with grapefruit, shochu, and a bit of cinnamon. 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
