Made a reservation for 7pm on a Thursday night. Didn’t appear to be too crowded otherwise.
Atmosphere is great for this little hidden cocktail bar.
Tried the Shark and Black Diamond.
The Shark was good though not nearly as amazing as the Black Diamond turned out to me.
The Black Diamond had amazing aromatics and a velvety foam on top. It was quite an amazing coffee based drink.
Based on these two drinks I wish I had time to sample more.

Love speakeasy’s? Cozy Vibes? Amazing bartenders? This is the place to be!! I had a blast of time at PDT, they serve the most creative cocktails out there, and the bartenders are super fun too. We went there to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday - they gave us complimentary champagne and birthday cocktail for her. The best part is the entrance of this place is such a cool experience - definitely a must try if you’re in town and love cocktails.

A pilgrimage to one of the first speakeasy style bars in the city. It was a great bar and a well-curated experience, but did feel a little past its prime, or maybe it was just an off night.
They had just started with their updated menu, and the bartender seemed a little unsure about how to describe some of the drinks on the menu and was very vague when answering questions about some of the components in the menu drinks. So we were kind of on our own to figure out the menu, but the drinks were ultimately really good. The vibe was excellent and very relaxed early on a weekday night.
Still was a great experience to be at such a storied cocktail bar, and worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing bar. If you can get in, do it. Chloe was our bartender and she was amazing. Super down to earth, helpful and accommodating. Drinks wer excellent and the exclusive hot dogs were delicious (the David Chang dog is a must). I will definitely be back. Waited so many years to visit and it lived up to my expectations.

Very cool speakeasy entrance.  Person at the door requested my number and said that it might be a while so I shouldn’t stay and wait.  I got the call 2.5 hours later 🤯
For one person!
When I was brought in the bar was half empty.
Drinks were good and decently priced for NYC.
