How would this not be here. New York City’s lauded cocktail bar—and one of the most influential bars of the last two decades, period—brought its moody setting and stellar seasonal cocktails to L.A., landing in the Arts District with a menu that nails the classics but still runs the creative gamut. Cocktails are divided into flavor profiles and vibes such as “light and playful,” “elegant and timeless” and “boozy and honest,” and while the technique and the reverence are real, the team always manages to have fun; the Virginia Beach Vanity Plate, for instance, involves rosé, overproof armagnac, strawberry, aloe and cid phosphate, like a grown-up take on a summery, beachy cheap wine. Not to be outdone by the drinks, Death & Co. also serves seasonal small plates to snack on, plus larger plates and desserts, for a full experience that’s big on aesthetics, balance and flavor.
If you are a fan of craft cocktails using a wide variety of liqueurs, Death & Co will not disappoint. Cocktails split into 5 categories depending on your mood: Fresh & Lively, Light & Playful, Bright & Confident, Elegant & Timeless, Boozy & Honest. The only thing that would make it better was if they had a Dirty & Ratchet.
The cocktail menu is fun, playful and innovative with plenty of options to choose from, based on your preferred flavor profile.
