PDT - Please Dont Tell

All right, I’m going to let you in on a secret, but Please Don’t Tell.

There is a great little speak easy that just opened in June called PDT. You enter through a small hot dog joint, walk into an old phone booth, pick up the phone, and voila! A door opens and you’re let into a modern bar with vintage values.

While the fact that it’s a speak easy is cool and the way that you get in is fun, what I was most impressed with at PDT was the staff and the drink selection.

Everyone who works there is friendly and laid back. The bartender actually enjoys figuring out new concoctions and takes the time to talk to his customers. The drinks are old fashioned, many of them containing egg whites and hard to find liquors, such as Creme de Violet, which is featured on the menu in the Silver Lily. If you take the time to look at the bar, they have an array of alcohol you wished you could find when you were flipping through your Savoy Cocktail Book.

If you’re looking for an interesting to place to hang out with friends or if you’re trying to impress a date, head over to PDT.
