Good selection of cocktails, great atmosphere, plus the bathroom smells amazing and has 3 jars of essentials - mints, matches, and tampons.

Great underground cocktail spot. Good for a weekday, late night cocktail for two.

Each cocktail is like a work of art! Great service, absinthe owls and the prettiest smelling WC ever!

Great cocktails! Very interesting menu and flavors you don’t usually find

Fantastic cocktails and a great speakeasy vibe. Try not to steal their menu. 😉

Nice cocktail menu! Place was pretty small, we had to squeeze in on the side of the bar, but I would try them again.

This underground cocktail den is perfect for a date or final stop before heading home. Natasha David and the Death & Co team do a stellar job.

Expensive, but getting at least one cocktail here is definitely worth it. Perfect for a date!

The right kind of music brings out the disco ball.

The cocktail menu is particularly unique. Try the Bananerac and feel your liver groan in protest.

Fancy cocktails in a designed but not pretentious space. Dance tunes make for a festive outing.

Start your night here, it gets too busy later. Great drinks. Very trendy.

Nice basement bar. Music was on point during my Saturday night visit. Service was attentive despite the crowd. My drinks were good but not great

At the "Long Distance Lover" drink. Especially if you like tiki-style cocktails!

Nice and cosy. Not hidden anymore as the facade bar is doing building works.
Chet ManciniMarch 28, 2015
Flawless cocktails in a basement. Must-visit. The blackjack is potent.
Somnath SureshMay 26, 2014
Don't get the Green Thumb. It's like a smoothie. Get the moon suit and enjoy the absinthe.
Dolapo FalolaMay 21, 2014
the bananarac is like a sazerac with banana liqueur and it is... wait for it... bananas!

Small intimate space. Great cocktails. Cheers!

Very small, cozy & hot. Pricey drinks. I’d avoid the Mind Bender, had a very weird taste. They gave us Hershey kisses with the check which was cute :)
DinaApril 24, 2014
Just opened to great fanfare from owners of Death and Co. Supposedly is where other mixologists go to drink.

Great cocktails in an intimate atmosphere

Delicious late night cocktails, from a new venture by the Death & Co family.

Please note. The bathrooms are a bit "rapey"

Cocktails, good for a late night
Sam ShrubbJune 1, 2014
Boring, could be any place in the world. The drinks were all very sweet and not well balanced (I had tastes of 4). Wow is the menu difficult to read. So many better cocktail places nearby.

Good drinks; turgid straws, then not. No baseball. Had a fine time.
