Zac SniderOctober 9, 2014How to not look like a damn fool: Take a left in Criff Dogs, into the phone booth. Pick the phone up, dial 1 to buzz in. Put the phone down (it doesnt work you weirdo) and face the wall to your left.
Benton's Old Fashioned. By far my favorite drink. Also must order the chang dog with the tots. Delicious.
Leon Alv AlvFebruary 22, 2012Google the phone. And get a reservation if not is minimun 1 hour and a half waiting! Reservations only on the same day

Colin WolfgangNovember 14, 2012Once you eventually find it, you'll want to keep coming back for more.
gia jordanAugust 22, 2013No longer great, no longer exclusive, no longer a secret either. This speakeasy clientele is now slobs in sweatpants.
Michael MosesJuly 3, 2012Reservations-only lounge, whose name means Please Don’t Tell. The door is in a phone booth inside the hot dog joint Crif Dogs. Read more

Kate McCartyMay 28, 2010When the hostess asks "can I help you?" it's best to reply "can I help YOU? You work in a phone booth." in any case, if your vagina is hankering for a Danish past the breakfast rush this is the place
Ana SallesApril 6, 2010Fantastic place! I love the idea, and the drink are the best! I strongly recommend this place, but you need reservation to get in.
Ruddy RowerFebruary 20, 2013Turn you flash off, don't play games.... its frowned upon (thank god!!) be prepared for amazing plays on classic drinks!
karen bonna rainertJuly 30, 2011Make reservations. When you arrive, order tater tots (and a nice cocktail).
angelo wJanuary 24, 2011Awesome speakeasy w/ great drinks. Just make sure you call @ 3pm to reserve a table.
Nina YiamsamathaJanuary 8, 2011Get the Shark: a tiki drink with complexity and class (frangelico AND blue curacao, juice, and lots of rum)
Melissa FordAugust 23, 2016This place is so iconic that there is constantly a two hour wait for walk-ins, even on a Monday.
Jeff HeuerJune 9, 2009Everyone knows the drinks are incredible, but try the Wylie dog with tomato marmelade and deep-fried mayo, and tater tots with cheese and pickled jalapenos on the side

Jonathan ChandranathanNovember 16, 2009Try to get a booth for 8, bring friends, order waffle fries and drink Benton's Old Fashioneds until you have a good slur going and you begin to alienate your friends.
Jo TrentSeptember 28, 2013Whatever you do, get the bacon-infused bourbon. It's the perfect combination of smoky and smooth.
Laura ChinNovember 14, 2011Can't go wrong with this killer pairing: a Chang dog (spicy) plus a champagne cocktail (bubbly)
M. Kienan BriscoeAugust 29, 2011My favourite date bar. Romantic atmosphere, cozy, "Spy-like" entrance.

Tabatha ValderramaJanuary 26, 2012Okay, so I know everyone loves this Bacon-flavored bourbon...but I personally prefer my Old Fashioneds, old fashioned...
JarrodOctober 29, 2013Make sure you keep your keep your voice down or suffer the wrath of the door girl who will give you a loud shhhhhhhhh.
Kathy MatthiesenAugust 27, 2015It's been 6 weeks since I've been here and I'm still thinking about the bacon infused Old Fashioned.
