"Death & Co. has difficulty pulling off the “hidden bar” bit because there’s always a line of people outside waiting to drink their excellent cocktails, made with combinations like bourbon, pineapple chamomile shochu, and absinthe. This polished Arts District spot does nail the dark-hallway-candlelit-booth aesthetic, however, which involves being led downstairs and behind a curtain into a buzzy low-lit room packed with people. The creative drinks change often, but more or less mirror what you'll find at the bar's original location in NYC, with options broken out into categories like “Boozy & Honest” or “Light & Playful.” Scoring a walk-in table can be tough most nights, so we'd recommend making a reservation for a smooth entrance." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
