Death & Co Denver

Denver, Colorado

No. 36 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2022, regional honoree for Best U.S. Bar Team at the 2022 Spirited Awards, and Top 4 finalist for Best American Hotel Bar at the 2020 Spirited Awards.

The Denver outpost of the New York institution occupies a RiNo space at 1280 25th Street that splits between a main bar, a coffee operation (DC/AM), and private event space, a multi-format approach that reflects the brand's evolution beyond the single-room cocktail bar. The menu carries Death & Co's signature precision, spirit-forward builds, balanced sours, and a seasonal rotation that incorporates local Colorado ingredients, while the Denver team has developed its own identity within the broader network. Open from 3pm daily, which gives it an afternoon-drinking dimension that most cocktail bars ignore. The cocktail program is as structured and well-documented as any in the country, and the training pipeline ensures consistent execution across every shift.
