PDT is a hidden speakeasy-style cocktail bar with no sign out front — you enter through Crif Dogs, the hot dog shop next door, using a phone booth to be let in. That concealed, gimmick entrance combined with its long-running reputation as an acclaimed craft cocktail bar is central to why it draws crowds and lines.
Reservations are released via Resy up to seven days in advance, and some reviewers describe calling the bar's phone line directly for same-day availability; walk-in bar seating for parties of four or fewer is otherwise first-come, first-served. Reported waits vary widely by night — some reviewers describe getting seated within about an hour, while others report multi-hour waits on busier nights — so weeknights and early evening are generally described as easier than weekend nights.

Reported waits vary a lot by night: some reviewers describe getting a walk-in bar seat within about an hour, while others have reported waits of several hours on busy nights, so treat any specific number you hear as anecdotal rather than current.
