The Salup GroupSeptember 7, 2010
A number of creative drinks here, but a must-have is the old-fashioned with bacon-infused bourbon.
Rob RebelAugust 9, 2015
You've made the right call ☎️
Vic C.January 22, 2013
Just a cool place with great cocktails
Lauren PurnellFebruary 23, 2010
Make your reservation starting at 3pm the same day - remember, patience is virtue! And I recommend their Pimm's Cup! Read more

Raja HMay 22, 2012
Come here if you're a tool. You'll fit right in with the likes of Anthony Bourdain and dumbass yelp foodies.

Latest guilty pleasure at PDT: the peanut butter cup. Very interesting cocktail.
Marinieves MejiaJanuary 25, 2016
The cocktails and the music!
Clark&KentDecember 13, 2011
Great place with a secret identity. Check the phone booth!

The Mezcal Mule is just the right mix of fruity, sour, smoky, and spicy.
Jared HAugust 31, 2011
Seriously strong tiki-drinks, served by great staff in a one of a kind setting. Seriously...strong.
Steve KaliskiMay 13, 2013
Get cozy in the phone booth & try the bacon infused old fashioned.
Melissa RogersJanuary 14, 2015
Cocktails + gourmet hot dogs = perfection.
Food & WineApril 20, 2011
Mixologist Jim Meehan presides over this reservations-only lounge. The unmarked entrance is inside a phone booth at the hot dog joint Crif Dogs.
Mariana RodriguezJanuary 13, 2010
Order a hummer with your drink. Best drink? Just tell them what you're in the mood for! They never disappoint.
Anita JOctober 20, 2009
Get a group a friends together, type the phone number, and all dial at the same time at 3PM to get a reservation. Keep redialing until someone gets through. Then eat a Crif dog.
Wilson ZhouJanuary 12, 2014
The Benton's Old Fashioned was highlighted on TimeOut New York

Go earlier or you will wait or never get in.
April Kate 🍴December 22, 2011

MariSeptember 3, 2016
Looks like someone told. The secrecy is gone with a line out the door of Crif Dogs on a Friday night.
Adiaha EnoMarch 18, 2016
The Manhattans and their large ice cubes.
Katherine LynnJuly 2, 2010
You know you're ordering a fancy cocktail when they spray the edge of your glass with micro-molecules of exotic bitters.
Alaina BrowneApril 22, 2013
The cleanest glassware west of the East river.
Juston PayneMarch 21, 2012
Old Fashions are so old fashioned. Get the Bacon Old Fashioned to put some piggy spring back in your step.
Dave BrownNovember 1, 2010
These drinks make me wanna dance. Like smooth down and sexy jams. Maybe a little tater tots on the side. Yup. Let's do it up. Belle and Sebastian style.
Gabriel HayesMay 22, 2015
Secret Crif Dogs are so exciting
Thomas DesageNovember 26, 2013
Best NYC speak easy! Amazing cocktails!
Mark TabryJune 29, 2009
Go here. Get a cocktail. If you're 2 ppl, call anytime and ask to sit at the bar. >2, call at *exactly* 3pm and make a reservation. It'll be busy, so keep retrying.
Karen StephensOctober 29, 2013
Sofisticated cocktails prepared expertly.
Sarah ThompsonMarch 20, 2010
This place is awesome! Great for visitors. Secret bar you get to through a phone box in a hot dog joint.
lucas companJanuary 27, 2016
Perfect for a date
Alexandra ChiaraApril 6, 2013
Overly hype and not worth it. Once you've passed the whole whoopla of the reservation and phone booth thing: you get the chance to drink a frankly disgusting overpriced cocktail. Indeed, I won't tell
Gabriel HayesMay 22, 2015
"I came, I saw, I conquered." Such a phenomenal speakeasy experience.
Jeromy HenryApril 23, 2013
Listen to the tiki gods. Go for the Cobra Fang.
LindsDecember 28, 2011
Take a picture with one of the many mounted animals adorning the walls.

Julie AvraSeptember 15, 2017

Natalia BakerOctober 14, 2014
Speakeasy, you have to gain entry through a telephone booth!
Cesar R.September 6, 2012
Wednesday nights at midnight are best for walk-ins. Dial "1" to enter.
M TFebruary 21, 2013
