PDT

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 youre seated.

I should preface this by saying that Ive been here at

Pros: Amazing Cocktails

Cons: Wait Staff, Attitude, Rudeness

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

Pros: I wouldn't know

Cons: incompetent hostess

PDT (short for Please Dont 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

Pros: small

Cons: small

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!\r
What point is it

Pros: Best cocktails in the city

Cons: always packed.. its not a secret anymore is it?

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

Pros: Cool hidden theme, great food from crif, and crazy drinks!

Cons: Must make a reservation

Life is too short and this city is way too large for a doorkeep to have as much attitude as this girl did. \r
No where does this place say you NEED reservations, so my suggestion is that they publish that fact at least somewhere - even on

Cons: Really poor attitude from door woman and servers

If your a hyper neurotic spoiled New Yorker then you better not go here because you will be shown the door.Thank god for PDT a real New York place...Biker Billy

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

Pros: None at all!

Cons: They think it's the cutest place in the city----it's not!

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

I hate to write about this because I don't want it to get crowded.\r
\r
But if you really like bourbons, whiskey's, etc, this is a fantastic place. This really isn't a bar. Don't go here to get loaded, it is more like a lounge where you

Pros: No cell phones allowed and no approaching people you don't know allowed!

Most of the reviewers that have panned PDT are simply looking for something else. What PDT is is that it is a serious bar with serious drinks on the same level as Pegu Club, Death & Co., Milk & Honey and Little Branch (not necessarily

Pros: Excellent cocktails, relaxed ambience

Cons: Long waits (without a reservation)

The fact that its attached to a hot dog joint makes the secret entrance to an upscale bar much cooler. Going into Crif Dogs, you just have no idea. PDTs is definately not for the loud college crowd though that usually goes to

Pros: seating, drinks, food, entrance

Cons: expensive

OK, we get it there is a secret phone booth entrance.\r
But the bartenders attitude stinks like a bad hot dog weiner.\r
\r
I tell you what guys .... ease up on the snotty attitude and save your\r
fancy mixology for when you are kissing

Pros: Nada

Cons: Bartenders Over Inflated Egos

Much more trendy than I had expected. \r
\r
I got a big kick out the entrance - I don't think you'd have any idea if you didn't know. Otherwise, there's not a whole lot to get excited about. The drinks are quite expensive (over $10) and

Pros: fun entrance

Cons: not much else

I don't really know why Crif Dogs chose to sell out like this, but it's a disappointment. Crif Dogs is the quintessential chill place, where you don't have to worry about rude service or what you're wearing. Admittedly, I first thought

Cons: Horrible service

If you make a reservation in advance like I did, you won't have trouble getting in. This is Crif Dogs after all. The atmosphere is nice... very loungey and chill. The music isn't turned up too loud so you can carry a conversation. The only

Pros: nice atmosphere besides weird taxidermy decor

Cons: cocktails were not good, slow service
