Will Death and Co appear on the 2026 Spirited Awards Top 10 Best US Bar Team list?

Question

Death and Co has been a fixture in this category historically. With multi-location footprint and continued program turnover, the question is whether the team holds onto its place this cycle.

Accepted Answer

The official Tales of the Cocktail Foundation Top 10 list for the 2026 Best U.S. Bar Team category names ten bars, none of which is a Death & Co venue; this is corroborated by both the full nominee list and a secondary trade publication summary.
