Death & Co New York

Death & Co is an East Village cocktail bar established in 2007 by David Kaplan and Ravi DeRossi, instrumental in pioneering the modern craft cocktail movement. The bar originated signature cocktails including the Naked and Famous, and published a cocktail book in 2014 containing over 500 recipes that won The James Beard Award for beverages in 2015. The intimate space maintains an old-school speakeasy aesthetic with dim, candlelit interiors, dark wooden ceilings, marble-top bar, and waiters dressed in traditional ties and vests. Operating on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations or standing room, the bar features a curated cocktail menu drawing from its extensive collection. Death & Co continues to receive worldwide recognition as a cocktail industry leader with outposts in Denver, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.
