Coconut Highball

Close Company · Old Fourth Ward

Bottle score

$15More Scotch
Tall highball with pale coconut fizz and lime, checkered bar floor blur behind.

Flavor profile

Dewar's malt, creamy coconut soda lift, and a long fizzy finish — Death & Co pedigree without the tuxedo.

Our take

Close Company is Death & Co's unbuttoned sibling — disco ball, checkered floors, walk-up bar — and the menu reads honest: ingredient-forward names, prices that don't require a spreadsheet.

The Coconut Highball is the move when you want something tall and tropical-adjacent without leaving Scotch behind. It's easy to order a second while the Beltline crowd rotates through; the bi-level room never feels like you're trapped in a speakeasy homework assignment.
