Worst Cocktail Experience Ever – AVOID – First off, the reservation system works perfectly, the girl on the phone & later at the door could not have been more friendly and helpful. The problem comes after you’re seated. I should preface this by saying that I’ve been here at least 10 times over the last couple of years, and it was always a wonderful place to take out-of-town guests looking for a unique experience ($14 cocktails – all heavenly - $6 hot dogs, but some of the best/most –creative in the city, and tater tots and w... read more

Disappointed – A friend had call and made reservation to arrive at PDT at 8:30pm, because we wanted so badly to see what the fuss was about. But much to our disappointment upon arrival, the hostess said we weren't on the list and that we didn't call---even after we showed her the call log. We wouldn't have been so upset if she had step up and admitted that she made the mistake, they really need to fire that inefficient employee. That's ridiculous!

shhhhh! – PDT (short for Please Don’t Tell) is a snug and small speakeasy style bar, complete with a secret entrance through a yummy hot dog joint called Criff Dogs. (look for a door to your left with an intercom type phone). Fancy cocktails and cute idea. However, a lot of people agree that the climax is the entrance (shhh, PDT). If you want to go, you need to make reservations at 3 pm – when the start taking them. If you wait till 4 you might not get one. cocktail: Corpse Reviver #2 – Cointreau, Lillet, lemon juice, and ab... read more

Great cocktails but freeking impossible to get in!!! – Even when you call right at 3PM, it is busy every time you redial for about an hour, until at which point it finally does ring and the girl on the other end informs you they are fully booked for the night!!! What BS! What point is it having a "secret" bar that everyone knows about??? They shouldn't be listed in places like City Search, and they shouldn't have a website or any other kind of advertizing either. It should be simply word of mouth. They didn't have the intern... read more

Hidden Gem is a great spot. – WOW...this is a fun place. Its great to see your guests faces when they see you enter through the phone booth. Drinks are great if you want to try something you have never seen before. The bacon cheese burger is sooooo good. Make sure to make a reservation and be on time. Dont tell to many people...lets keep this place hidden!

Too Much Attitude – Life is too short and this city is way too large for a doorkeep to have as much attitude as this girl did. No where does this place say you NEED reservations, so my suggestion is that they publish that fact at least somewhere - even on their website. (note on CitySearch - this is the ONLY place that does mention reservations, so thank you) The website says for reservations call...not reservations necessary or even recommended. And I wasn't even there on a weekend night. I have been in the industry a long ... read more

Worst place ever!!! – If they were half as cool as they think they are there, this place would be awesome! The host who seated our whole crowd (in two groups as we arrived) then informed us we couldn't speak to each other! Excuse me? There were literally only 2 other couples in the place on the Sunday night that we came. Meanwhile, the host gave us so much attitude that he actually asked one woman in our group to "step outside" and he would explain their policies to her. It was the biggest joke ever. We left and took the mon... read more

VERY COOL. – Points for the very cool hidden entrance. Again, this is a place you go to CHILL on a first date, or with some close friends. If you have out of town guest, they'll love it. You probably won't talk to other patrons, so don't go alone and don't go to pick up. I ordered a MANHATTEN and it was perfect; Sinatra would have loved it. Another cool aspect is the ICE; its one HUGE perfect cube (specialty made) that perfects the temp of the drink/cocktail. I had a dog too and it was good. If you can't afford a $12 drink, ... read more
