despite the cheeky telephone booth thing the menu is creative and the bartenders awesome.
Leon Alv AlvFebruary 22, 2012
Google the phone. And get a reservation if not is minimun 1 hour and a half waiting! Reservations only on the same day

Cocktails + gourmet hot dogs = perfection.

Melissa FordAugust 23, 2016
This place is so iconic that there is constantly a two hour wait for walk-ins, even on a Monday.
M. Kienan BriscoeAugust 29, 2011
My favourite date bar. Romantic atmosphere, cozy, "Spy-like" entrance.
Gabriel HayesMay 22, 2015
"I came, I saw, I conquered." Such a phenomenal speakeasy experience.

They do a mean corpse reviver. Read: delicious.
gia jordanAugust 22, 2013
No longer great, no longer exclusive, no longer a secret either. This speakeasy clientele is now slobs in sweatpants.
karen bonna rainertJuly 30, 2011
Make reservations. When you arrive, order tater tots (and a nice cocktail).
Karen StephensOctober 29, 2013

Jeff HeuerJune 9, 2009
Everyone 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
Justin SimmonsDecember 12, 2012
Great bar but speakeasies don't exist anymore. Get it right!

Latest guilty pleasure at PDT: the peanut butter cup. Very interesting cocktail.

The Manhattans and their large ice cubes.
Laura ChinNovember 14, 2011
Let the bartender know what you like, and then let him (or her!) work his magic
Julian PaulMarch 31, 2012
Come early during happy hour for groups as large as 7 to get a booth.

I'm only here for the Wiley dog.

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.

A subtle and magnificent tribute to Tiki--try the Shark.

The cleanest glassware west of the East river.

There are plenty of swank NYC speakeasies these days, but only one with hot dogs this good.

Fun but always busy- make a reservation!

Wednesday nights at midnight are best for walk-ins. Dial "1" to enter.
