My first speakeasy experience. It lived up to the expectations. The queue was long, even on a weekday eve, and they gave table only for 45 mins, to accommodate the next group. Good experience overall.

Nice speakeasy. Can get very busy. Make reservations for booth or bar seating.

We went to get some drinks after dinner but we didn't have reservation so we had to wait until they contact us for table which was about 30 minutes. The 4 of us got seated on the small table, half the size of some tables that 2 people being seated (table under the bear) and right next to the bathroom and you can see the bathroom through the curtain which was certainly not nice. Since it was very dark people always hit the table we were at whenever they go in and out of the bathroom š And since the table was small, 4 of us were very cramp in there, not at all comfortable. We had a drink each then left.

PDT holds a special place in my heart. It was the second speakeasy style bar I ever visited (the first being Attaboy), way back in 2014. I've only been back a handful of times since then, but every time I'm able to, I'm excited. I know the food will be on point, the vibe low-light and comforting, and the cocktails made with meticulous care and precision. It's an intimate setting where you'll sit with your party and actually be able to speak with each other instead of shouting over loud music or blaring TVs. Overall, it's a really well done cocktail program, in a cool secretive setting. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable and the service is quick and efficient. Thank you!

Cool speakeasy but I don't get the whole hype

Very intimate and modest place, but well worth the visit if you can get in. We didn't have a reservation, but the hostess got us seats at the bar for an hour before the next reservation. So plan accordingly. Reservations are recommended. We only had drinks, but they were AMAZING!! Between my wife and I, we tried 4 different cocktails and all were great!! I would list the cocktails, but I honestly feel that you won't go wrong with any of the choices. Just find your flavor profile, or alcohol of choice, and go for it. They will also make off menu drinks, but we didn't do that.
Would definitely return

I felt it was more of an experience. The drinks tasted good but they didn't make me tipsy. The service was alright.

Fun experience for a first timer. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the show. Itās a science project happening with every drink. I had 2 and enjoyed both. The second one was better as I requested the flavors I was desiring, voila here is a perfect cocktail. I enjoyed the phone and looked forward to returning. Try the citrus ginger spicy drink for a kick.

Terrible PDT experience ļ¼ā would not recommend for walk-insš„ We arrived at PDT around 8PM and left our phone number with the host, who told us that while they couldnāt guarantee a time, we would be notified via text or call once a table became availableļ¼ We went next door to Amor y Amargo for drinks and continued waiting for a notification. By around 11PM, we checked back and were told there were still 6ā7 parties ahead of us, so we waited some more time in patienceļ¼
Shockingly, even by 12:30AM ā nearly 4.5 hours later ļ¼ā we still hadn't received any call or message.ļ¼When we returned to the bar to ask the hostļ¼we were told they had given our spot away without notifying us at all. No explanation, no apology ā just an unacceptable level of disorganization and disregard for guests. Absolutely terrible hosting and serviceļ¼If you donāt have a reservation in advance and are thinking of walking in or leave a phone number to wait the SMS. PDT is never your best choiceļ¼Unless you enjoy wasting your great night waiting for a call that never comesļ¼

Dimly lit bar hidden in a hot dog store. It has that classic prohibition lounge decor, which is nice. The cocktail was decent.
Very rude service. We waited for 3 hours and the āgreeter guyā didnāt move our position in the wait list. This happened on two occasions.

Put our names down. Host told us weāre 9th on the list. Came back 3 hrs later. Host told us weāre still 9th on the list.
Complete joke

Turned up with a reservation to find the place was closed. Traveled miles across New York to visit and had no notification that they would be closed. Terrible service

Rude hosts. Entrance through a phone booth is a very short lived gimmick. Not worth the rude service.

Everything about this place is superb. Drinks are created with the upmost fashion, taste and creativity in mind. Service is impeccable and the pricing is just right for a quiet little get away. Set away from the hustle and bustle of the city lights and noise and step into an oasis of clever drink making, classy themes and not to worry this wont break the bank!
