Death & Company
The vibe: There isn't much to let you know you've arrived at D&C, as the faded exterior easily blends into the background of Sixth Street. But the imposing wooden door with a green handle, which has turned gold from the number of hands coming and going, is the biggest clue. Inside, the bar leans gothic, as tulip-shaped, oil-burning candles gently illuminate exposed brick and deep woods. Low slung tables are most certainly an option for close cocktailing, but the bar is the best seat to watch the magic in action.
The drinks: If you have any curiosities as you thumb through D&C's cocktail menu, organized by "Light & Playful" to "Boozy & Honest," just ask the bartender before you. Depending on your level of interest, you can easily nerd out with the staff, from how they completely re-do the menu twice a year—every year—to how they troubleshoot a foamy faux egg white (psst...the answer lies with xanthan gum and soy lectin). So, what do you drink? A recent visit yielded the Occam Razor with mezcal and matcha coconut cream, and brightened with a zippy yuzu liqueur, for a smoky and earthy sip. Meanwhile, the Parasol Dance with equal parts gin and vodka comes off surprisingly light and floral on the nose with the addition of ume or plum.
The food: Yes, the bar has food, but it isn't the major draw. Of course, if hunger is calling, you can nibble on popcorn and house pickles or split a crudo or a vinegary bruschetta. Close out the night with a serving of milk and warm cookies. It's really a nice touch.

Ozzy Osbourne's official cause of death revealed after Black Sabbath legend died aged 76 just weeks after last show
OZZY Osbourne's official cause of death has been revealed after the rock legend's sad passing. The Black Sabbath legend, who died on July 22 at the age of 76, was laid to rest next to the lake in his Buckinghamshire home last Thursday. 4 4 4 The legendary rocker passed away "surrounded by love" in July, his family revealed. On Ozzy's official death certificate, his cause of death is listed as 'acute myocardial infarction' and 'out of hospital cardiac arrest'. It also listed coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction as 'joint causes' of the rock legend's death. Ozzy's tragic passing comes just weeks after his final performance in Birmingham - where it all began. The rocker sang five songs in his own set, with fans waving torches from their phones during Mama, I'm Coming Home. He finished his performance with Crazy Train, before confetti rained over a packed Villa Park. After a short break, Ozzy re-entered the stage to join the rest of Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years. The band performed some of their greatest hits, ending with a rendition of Paranoid. In his last ever interview, the heavy metal icon said his "final encore" meant "everything". Ozzy sang with his fellow founding fathers of heavy metal while seated on an iconic black bat throne. It was the first time in two decades that the original Black Sabbath line-up have performed together. Ozzy had vowed that it would be his final performance due to his deteriorating health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson's in 2020. Marilyn Manson and Slipknot lead who's who of rock at Ozzy Osbourne's funeral Back To The Beginning also featured a mega line-up of fellow rock stars, performing their own sets and as a super-group, and all the profits made will be going to charity. In another poignant twist, Ozzy's daughter Kelly Osbourne got engaged to her boyfriend Sid Wilson at the veteran rocker's final concert. Last Thursday, an "incredibly emotional" funeral service was held for the rocker, a family friend told The Sun. Tents were erected on the 250-acre grounds of the house Ozzy and Sharon bought in 1993, along with a stage where tributes were paid to the rocker. The home was decorated with pictures of Ozzy, and mourners were given a photograph of him to take home. 110 of the singer's nearest and dearest attended, joining his wife Sharon and his children Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, his son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley. Stars at the service included Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmates, Metallica's James Hetfield, punk singer Yungblud and Sir Elton John. Rock icon Marilyn Manson flew in from the US to attend, alongside Ozzy's guitarist Zakk Wylde and Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor.

Steven Gerrard's daughter Lilly, 21, enjoys date night with son of jailed Irish gangster at Drake concert - three weeks after welcoming their first child
Steven Gerrard 's daughter Lilly-Ella enjoyed a date night with her boyfriend Lee Byrne on Monday night as they attended Drake 's show at Manchester's Co-op Live arena. It's no doubt been a tiring time for the couple, who welcomed their first child together three weeks ago, and the pair looked in good spirits as they enjoyed quality time together at the show. Lilly, 21, looked radiant in a fitted black top paired with mom jeans and white trainers as she shared a snap cuddling Lee - who is the son of a jailed Irish gangster. The pair were later joined by pals, with Lilly sharing a series of snaps of the group living it up at the show. Sharing a snap to Instagram on Tuesday, Lilly penned: 'Mum and dad are out ❤️'. Lilly, who is the eldest child of former England footballer Steven, revealed she'd welcomed a baby girl named Lila Grey last month. Lila Grey's birth earlier this month meant that former England footballer Steven has become a grandfather for the first time at just 45 years-old. The former midfielder has four children with wife Alex - daughters Lilly, Lexie, 19, Lourdes, 14, and a son named Lio, eight. Lilly has been in a relationship with Lee since October 2022, with their romance making headlines when it first came to light. Revealing their daughter's name earlier this month, Lilly shared an adorable image on her Instagram story of her holding her baby's hand in a touching post. She wrote: 'So lucky to be your mum My beautiful baby girl, Lila Grey. Perfection.' She also posted a photograph to her grid of a sweet welcome home party waiting for her and her newborn baby girl after they arrived home from hospital. Her baby's pink-themed homecoming included balloons, candles and a teddy, while a sign read 'welcome to the world baby'. Lilly captioned the post: 'Welcome home Lila Grey. I love you so much #babybubble.' Her father, former Liverpool star Steven, has yet to break his silence since becoming a grandfather for the first time. However, Lilly did share a picture of the ex-England player gazing at his new granddaughter lovingly, alongside the words: 'Little angel is here.' Lilly announced her pregnancy news in January, sharing a photo of her positive pregnancy test and telling her 222,000 Instagram followers: 'Our little secret. The best news... mini us is on the way.' Responding to his daughter's post, Gerrard wrote: 'We can't wait. Congratulations and we love you.' Lilly's partner - with whom she was first linked in 2022 - is the son of Kinahan Cartel gangster Liam Byrne, who was issued a five and a half year prison sentence for a plot to stockpile a stash of machine guns. Ipswich Crown Court heard how Byrne and colleague Shaun Kent planted a haul of automatic weapons in a bid to help Kavanagh dupe the authorities. Kavanagh, Byrne's brother-in-law, was hoping to lead the National Crime Agency, Britain's FBI, to the guns in a bid to reduce his sentence in a drug conspiracy case. The staggering haul, imported from Holland, included the Skorpion, the type of automatic weapon used to murder Ashley Dale and Ellie Edwards on Merseyside. In January, Daily Mail exclusively revealed that Byrne was released from prison three months after he was sentenced to five years in jail. He was let out with an electronic tag as part of the Prime Minister's controversial Early Release Scheme to ease overcrowding in prisons, sources said at the time. Byrne, who was released on a curfew and other conditions, had been on remand for ten months before his sentencing last October. Lee and Lilly became an item after Lee moved into a gated community in Freshfield, one of Merseyside's more desirable post codes. The Byrne and Gerrard families are said to have bonded since the young couple began dating, with Lee describing Alex as his second mum. There is no suggestion that Lee or any member of the Gerrard family are involved in crime.
