Mike O'SullivanApril 21, 2015Great underground cocktail spot. Good for a weekday, late night cocktail for two.
Jon HavenhillOctober 23, 2018Great cocktails! Very interesting menu and flavors you don’t usually find
The cocktail menu is particularly unique. Try the Bananerac and feel your liver groan in protest.
Surface MagazineJune 14, 2016Natasha David, bartender at Nitecap, reimagined Foursquare (the iconic technology company) as the Just the Tip-pler. Click Read more for ingredients and details. Read more
DarynaDecember 22, 2014Yay! My type of bar!! Small, dark, good vibe. Drinks are fabulous! Will def come back.
The New YorkerJanuary 13, 2015“It’s a casual joint that aims no higher than to lighten the wallets of those raucous young men in blue oxfords whose tastes increasingly determine the downtown bar scene.” Read more
Luc DoanApril 4, 2016Nice basement bar. Music was on point during my Saturday night visit. Service was attentive despite the crowd. My drinks were good but not great
Marie PorrasAugust 6, 2016Nice and cosy. Not hidden anymore as the facade bar is doing building works.
Adelina TaftsiouApril 8, 2016The bee's knees drink.😆 P.s sorry for the foul language in the pic -👻 bukur0she (add meh🙃)
Candice DSouzaNovember 30, 2016Fantastic cocktails and a great speakeasy vibe. Try not to steal their menu. 😉
Alexandria DangJuly 7, 2014Well balanced drinks that manage to remain interesting and palatable. Enjoyed the Little Victory, Criminal Appeal, La Mome. Be ready to get into yelling matches with the douchebags here for a seat.
Lauren AlexaSeptember 28, 2016Expensive, but getting at least one cocktail here is definitely worth it. Perfect for a date!
DipsologySeptember 27, 2015This 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.
Asli SOctober 21, 2017Very 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 :)
Matthew FergusonApril 29, 2017At the "Long Distance Lover" drink. Especially if you like tiki-style cocktails!

Kathryn DJune 18, 2017Fancy cocktails in a designed but not pretentious space. Dance tunes make for a festive outing.
Vincent Vin volDecember 7, 2014Haven't been surprised by any cocktail. Tried 8 different and none were special :(
Menu changes seasonally! My favorite name from Winter 2014 is 'Platonic Snuggle'

MaximilianMay 4, 2016Coolest menu in NYC! Have fun completing the word search while enjoying a delicious cocktail.
Jeremy Scott FosterAugust 8, 2014Delicious late night cocktails, from a new venture by the Death & Co family.
Dolapo FalolaMay 21, 2014the bananarac is like a sazerac with banana liqueur and it is... wait for it... bananas!
Somnath SureshMay 26, 2014Don't get the Green Thumb. It's like a smoothie. Get the moon suit and enjoy the absinthe.
Sam ShrubbJune 1, 2014Boring, 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.
DinaApril 24, 2014Just opened to great fanfare from owners of Death and Co. Supposedly is where other mixologists go to drink.
