Why We Like It

This pioneering East Village speakeasy is as famous for its (in)accessibility as its cocktails: To get in, you have to call from a payphone inside Crif Dogs, the subterranean hot-dog stand next door. Under the guidance of owner Jeff Bell (a former PDT barback), the cocktails remain as superb as ever.

Need to Know

Reservations at PDT can be made up to 7 days in advance via Resy. We offer limited bar seating on a first-come, first-served basis for parties of 4 or less.

Due to our limited seating capacity and a disproportionately high number of no shows, we have instituted a $15 cancelation fee per person for reservations cancelled less than 12 hours before the scheduled reservation time.

Patrons over the age of 21 are permitted, with physical ID.
