Death & Taxes

Reno


Imagine if Marilyn Manson opened a bar in the Old West and you're almost there. It's all-black everything in this joint, from Chesterfield sofas, barstools and paint – even the windows are blacked out against the high desert sun – the only light is from two antique chandeliers over the bar. Custom cocktails are as complex and dark as the decor.
