This spot wasn’t worth to money that they charge. The staff is unprofessional and unaccommodating. They did not escort my party to our table and when a drink was spilled they did not clean the mess we were left sitting at a wet table. Not to mention when we arrived our table was still dirty from the prior party before us and they seated us there either way with out sanitizing the table first.I would NOT recommend this spot to anyone I got extremely sick after leaving this spot I was unable to enjoy the rest of my night. The only reason I give it two stars was because of the DJ she took requested and played good music.

It was fun, I came with a promoter and coat check employee was nice as well. They seem to care about the club. The view when you had up the lounge is absolute beautiful. The DJ played really good music for a Wednesday night but there wasnt a lot of people but it was still fun. The whole place is really great looking and there is plenty of dancing space and sit down areas as well. Would definitely recommend coming here and looking forward to coming back on a weekend with friends.

I wouldn’t recommend going there. They are unprofessional, when we arrived they didn’t even escort us or even tell us where we were suppose to go. When we got to the elevator the staff saw that we were going to take the wrong elevator and didn’t say anything to us until last minute because they were to busy talking to each other instead of doing there job. Food was horrible. Waitress weren’t on top of there tables we had to clean our messes and table. It’s not worth what we went over priced for bad service and bad experience. My party ended up getting sick afterwards. I won’t ever go here ever again. They try to take advantage of you because they think you’re unaware of what’s going on because you’re drunk they didn’t serve us the drinks we wanted they gave us different liquor then what we ordered and charged us for stuff we didn’t even order also a different party that was there said the same thing to us about them not serving them the right liquor they ordered like hello we know what our liquor taste like because that’s what we drink all the time. Won’t ever go there ever again.

I love to come here on Fridays. You come early and listen to music or dance. The bartender is pretty good. Well he makes pretty good sangrias! Free before 9. Casual.

Plastic glasses in an upscale place? So lame. Four people in the whole place and the server was bitchy. Cross this one off your list and head somewhere that understands how to deliver an experience. Or at least one that serves cocktails in a real glass.

I actually been there 3 times and I love how day walk me all the way up true the lights walls going to the elevator and ones upstairs the view is gorgeous and the bartenders are super nice and really efficient and helpful I have no complaints of the club at all or the people that works there

While trying to look for non-valet parking tips on this yelp page, I noticed there are a ton of negative reviews for the staff. I just wanna say - I have had a VERY positive experience with all the staff that work their Afternoon Delight shows. Ive been here 2x so far this season for Le Youth and Autograf and everyone at the door is super friendly. We were able to get in quickly. The security guard was really nice and let me pop out to buy sunscreen from the gift shop and let me right back in. Some of the bar tenders are kind of slow but theres one really really friendly black guy (I keep forgetting to ask his name) that usually works one of the lower deck bars - always get drinks from him!! Hes much quicker and an absolute pleasure to chat with.

I showed up to the W55th location last night for my rooftop reservation for two. I showed the gentleman my confirmation email and he told me that I was actually supposed to be at the downtown location. I was so confused, because the email had the W55th St address. He said he would call the downtown PhD and let them know we were coming. Okay fine, we got back on train and went to the downtown location. We arrived and the gentleman there said, “No, you’re supposed to be at W55th. I don’t know why they sent you here. We’re completely booked up.” I’m a really patient person, but this runaround made me so mad. Fix your system! I should have had a reservation at one of these locations. Why was I turned away from both? Huge waste of time!

Big hype, not a great place to take a date, and if your single a lot of pretty girls are paid to be there so you buy them expensive drinks as they working for the club. Location location location. The food downstairs, same owner, Tao is good, they use perfect sauces on there specialty rolls. And the sushi is done right.

Best view of midtown, watermelon margaritas are amazing, perfect to bring friends from out of the city. The hotel lobby is spectacular!!!!

Always a good time here. Ive done bottle service with my coworkers and Ive done bottle service for my birthday, they take care of me and my friends every time. Love the diversity! Friday nights they have Reggaeton and Saturdays are Hip Hop, DJs know what to play to get everyone to turn up!!!

Likes to charge people for other peoples tables.

Beautiful place but the service is rude and not nice really

I went here last winter and one group of people didnt pay the table. the guy (manager) almost forced us to pay for a table that wasnt even ours the bill for the other table was $1500. Also, they take advantage of you when you are drunk. be careful. the vibes are pretty bad.

The best view, cool place, my favorite day it’s on Monday.. cool party

They make you pay what ever they feel like at the door. Sometimes is not even that great of a place to be at. Just like I said. Be aware that if you come with a group of friends they will try to charge you thousands (depending on the night and how the bouncer feels like charging). Better go to other places in midtown.

Always a fun night here!

$600 just to sit down. Not exaggerating. Predatory. Join me in teaching these people a lesson: you cant just charge whatever and expect to stay in business. They list several bottles of wine and tequila for $14,000. These are $140 bottles tops. You cant mark up 100 times. The worst part? No food. They had no food. Only on Wednesdays. Pro tip: if youre going to charge $600 for a table, order a stupid pie from Dominos and serve that!

If youre looking for breathtaking views of the New York skyline, look no further. Even on a foggy night, the views were magical. We went on a Tuesday night to celebrate a birthday. Even on a Tuesday, the staff makes a big to-do about guest lists, being escorted up, and tables. This definitely isnt a low-key place to go hang out. Guests were dressed in hip club attire. The drinks were expensive, but the prices on food were fair. The pinot grigio available by the glass on the menu was phenomenal, as was the avocado toast, which had jalepenos and was pre cut to share. Most other sharing pieces came in threes, so for a group of four, they recommended ordering two. The music was mid-2000s hip-hop, which was a fun throwback. Theres a deck open outback for two things: taking skyline pictures or smoking. The crowd poured in around midnight at which point it was time for me to go home!

Was invited by my dance instructor to an event, wanted to see her solo performance. Was denied entrance because I dont have a City ID. Non-resident forbidden zone. Nice.

View is cool but otherwise nothing special. Hotel itself seems interesting

Had our company party here, good company, food and drinks. Great atmosphere. One thing that couldve been better is getting everyone upstairs faster or told our committee planners what to expect, that people with big bags and personal belongings would have to check it and that caused huge long lines for everyonr

Had a blast there on a Saturday night. Drinks and music were on point.

I dont consider that a club or a lounge its merely a complex way to burn money. I would advise anyone seeking to enjoy a night out to go elsewhere

Really beautiful views and upscale environment, but you want to know the right nights to go because it can get a bit sloppy/douchey if it’s too busy.For NYC, TAO group knows how to make a beautiful, well maintained club.If you’re visiting the city it’s a definite destination for the atmosphere and views of the skyline alone (a beautiful balcony and floor to ceiling windows).If you’re a local, ask around what the better nights are (I’d say weekdays because it’s more industry people and models vs weekend warriors), but usually expect a finance guy, mid 20s-mid 30s professionals crowd. Not too snobby, but not low key either. Dress code is upscale, but don’t wear anything you wouldn’t want a drink spilled on.Overall, one of the nicer clubs in the city for a classy night of drinks and dancing, but not much of a culture or vibe. You’ll make your own fun, music is typical pop/hip hop (nothing special), crowd is decent, safe for a work party kind of spot.

Ive been here and to the lounge at least twice and its always been awesome. They have themed nights so if its not relevant I dont go. After dancing the night away, I always go over the lounge next door. Sometimes I even go there for late night grubs when I dont go to PHD Lounge for the night.

Crowded on Sat afternoon for the Kentucky Derby. Lots of entertainment. More fun here if you’re drunk!

A couple friends of mine held my 25th Birthday bash here on memorial weekend and doubled up on VIP Service. Lets just say I had the time of my life and the staff was awesome :D

Very arrogant staff and door guy with hat thinks He is standing at heavens door. Go to Le Bain better view, nicer music, better staff at the door and upstairs.

They lie at the door step telling you ball park estimate prices. Told us my group of 9 had to pay a 6,000 dollar cover for full meal service, and you had to pay that 6K before getting upstairs to the bar. A group of four girls (thots) after me.. bouncer told them needed to spend at least $150 which is entirely reasonable. If you dont have enough room for a large party, tell us. You arent studio 54, stop trying to act like it.

Great views! Very B&T crowd and average boom-boom house music. DJs think that if they turn up the base, they can get people to dance as opposed to playing good mixes to do so . You also need a dance crowd. Door was unfriendly too. Is there a reason for that? I only gave stars for the view. Overall, poor experience and we had pre-arranged bottle service...

Left a cell phone behind and was told by staff at front door I could not go upstairs at 10PM to look for it. I was told my stamp expired and I needed to wait. Super unprofessional additional staff told me I could not go upstairs by a man with a beard on a power trip when questioned as to what the big deal was. Out of all the places in town. Why would I ever go back? Staff was unprofessional and unorganized.

I have been to this establishment several times in the pass and thought it was just ok. My one star rating is do to the obnoxious staff, on arrival I was told by the doorman that to be let in I would have to pay him $300, I told him I have been to PHD several times in the pass and never had to pay, also I was there for a small birthday celebration. After I refused to shell out the money he called me cheap and stated that he couldn’t help me if I didn’t pay. After this I asked to speak to a manager and was denied, I asked why the 5 women I brought with me didn’t have to pay a dime, they had no answer. Avoid this place at all cost, there are tons of clubs you can attend in nyc with out being harassed, and have a great time.

Views great, music - fine, early 2000 nostalgic beat hits. Guys have a $100 drink minimum each, which is obnoxious, but OK. Then, even if you get a table, the security can tell you stand over there or I will escort you out if you stand 1 ft away from another table, which is deemed too close. Not sloppy dancing, not drunk, just standing & talking. The couple at the table that complained had 2 bussers and 2 security guys surrounding them, just pushing people around. Its a get down kinda place, not an elite club. People are everywhere, its busy. This treatment was unnecessary, and is enough for me and my friends to never come back. Not your good spirited night out in New York place.

Everything was OK, worth to visit. Bring a big enough group w/ you and have fun!

Beautiful views!!! Instagram worthy pics of New York skyline. Nice place to take your friends. Black people friendly, jeans on women (friend wore snug jeans paired nicely with a cute top) allowed. Did not try drinks, cannot comment. Only flaw was that music was not up to date! Why is “shake that laffy taffy” playing on a Friday night? Can we get the top 40 in here? Otherwise decent place

From Berlin. View is amazing. Drinks are disgraceful... Tried different ones in the hope of a one time thing

I went to the rooftop for a friends birthday. Very nice place, upscale, however, VERY expensive. A mojito was 21$, a female bartender served me, she was very polite, I tipped her. Then I ordered a Cosmopolitan from a different male bartender, it was 25$. Basically 50$ for two small cocktails. I did not tip the male bartender because as he was making my drink, I noticed he was very impatient with me and completely rushed my drink. When I didnt tip him, he threw the receipt back at me and told me to correct the tip amount as if it were an obligation. I immediately handed it back to him and told him there was nothing to correct. He SNATCHED it from my hand and yelled at me, said Thanks for nothing! So rude! Otherwise my experience was good, very nice view, I see other reviews saying they had to pay so expensive to get in, but I didnt have to pay admission fee at all! Weird.

Horrible hosts. Bouncers were rude. Honestly the worst bar you could go into in nyc. Had more fun at the dive bar down the street.

Great for after work get together soon! Nice patio! Cant beat the view!

Terrible management at the door. Told to buy table for 300 to enter. Saw some tourists pay the doorman on the side to enter. Don’t waste your time here. There are other much better places.

Really nice views of New York City at night for someone who hasn’t seen it already from a roof top. Over priced just because of the location but if you’re going with a bunch of ballers who want bottles and a booth, you’re good and will be treated nice. Great first experience, probably wouldn’t go back because I didn’t love the music choice on that particular day I went.

SCAM SCAM SCAM purchased tickets for an event and was denied by security because he first said we were acting “irate” and then said our real IDs were fake. Get this- they were all NYC and NJ IDs- not like we were even from some random far away state. Didn’t scan them or try to verify them using a credit card or anything. We requested to speak to a manger to which they refused us and threatened that “we better leave the property or else.” Then when we tried to get a refund through the ticket website which they told us to do the ticket website reached out to PHD and the refund was denied because PHD claimed we couldn’t show proper IDs. Having a bouncer with a horrible attitude that cannot tell a real ID from a fake one is a real problem and this club should not be allowed to operate like this and scam people out of their money. If I could give negative stars I would, will never be coming here again!

Another one of these snot ...stuck up places....over priced drinks... outrageous promises with no delivery..drinks are watered down...staff acting like they are in the crowd playing it off like the place is popping and busy....

The place is always fun! The view is so beautiful! The dj always has good music! Definitely a place to go if you’re visiting NYC!

I forgot the name of this bar, but just remembered recently. I regularly go to rooftops in NYC and get a table reservation with bottle service ahead of time, as the case was here. I had been here for a drink once before and decided I would try to come here for an event. If I had a reservation and was paying $600+ for my table, why would I need to wait for my other 12 friends to come? This happened to have happened on my birthday last summer and I was standing in the lobby for 25 minutes before I decided to leave and have one of my friends get us a table at Tao which ended up working out better for everyone. But the people at the front who were controlling who they let in were very rude. I told the man that I was willing to pay my $600 fee as long as I got to get in and sit at my table that I had made a RESERVATION for weeks ago and he dismissed my request and didnt acknowledge me afterwards. Im so glad I left and will never be bringing my money/business here ever again and will literally tell everyone I know to stay away as there are literally thousands of other rooftops in NYC that Ive never had a problem with like this lol. If I can sum up the staff and professionalism of this ROOFTOP BAR not ROOFTOP NIGHT CLUB it would be: RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL, UNRESPONSIVE, LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON THEIR OWN POLICY, and LONG LINES FOR NO REASON.All in all try to avoid coming here UNLESS YOU WANT TO WAIT OVER A HALF HOUR FOR AN UNIMPRESSIVE ROOFTOP LOUNGE.

Waited in an extremely unorganized line for 20 minutes just to be told by the bouncer that there was a $100 minimum. Just wanted to grab a drink and check out the space. Don’t waste your time here. Check out St. Cloud rooftop bar instead.

The rudest staff. We were told that based on how we were dressed we couldn’t afford to go to the rooftop so we could just go to the back bar. The drinks we got there were like a 3/10. Definitely not missing anything by skipping this.

So disrespectful. Wanted me and my friend to pay 150 to get in. Made us feel really uncomfortable. Not good place

A girl who went ahead and kissed the bouncer got in for free. 3 guys well dressed and behaved didnt get to enter. And me and a friend of mine were asked to pay 150$ to enter. Some nonsense entry policy going in there.

Rude bouncer even I celebrated many events even my bachelor party here. Don’t go!

Another beautiful rooftop lounge which for the winters may be a better option. Its not easy getting stamped unless youre ready to drop some serious money for a table and a few bottles.The views are beautiful with a nice dance floor, great DJ selections and a friendly staff. Being a group of about 12 people or so, we had to get the table. the table was small for the group, but whos there to sit and drink anyways.Be prepared to spend and have a fun time here...

This place is awful. The rudest staff I ever see in my life. Even one star is too much for this garbage can.

While staying at the Dream Hotel, we got to skip the line and no cover charge. It was a blast ! Amazing views, the vibe was cool, we met awesome people, we danced and danced. So much fun. It was a night to remember.... or mostly remember!

Good place, Great vibes, views, Music but a horrible doormen. No matter how much money you spend with them they don’t tend to recall and a party for one $150 for their personal pocket, It ain’t a Taj Mahal we going too upstairs. Seriously the management needs to be stopped or this won’t end well for the company. These are definitely not getting my table business at this location.

Been here several times before; while staying at the dream hotel for the week. Usually I would get stamped for free to go upstairs to the rooftop lounge by a lovely tall lady -- because I am spending thousands of dollars here at this hotel. This time, the new guy at the door, wanted me and my co-workers to open up $150 drink tab each -- on a freakin Tuesday! Most of us dont drink. And according to the older doormen and the hotel desk staff, this new bouncer was just being difficult to us because he was new. My company is literally spending tens of thousands of dollars for us to stay here; and this is how we are treated? Will definitely consider booking at a different hotel during my next stay. This was one of the main reasons why my company booked this hotel in the first place...

Outstanding view, cocktails and food are expensive but not crazy compare to the NYC average. You can enjoy the sunset while

Amazing place! I went there alone, they immediately let me in, view is amazing,people is nice, no tourists, music is good and prices are ok for a place like that.I did not pay anything at the entrance even if,a guy,told me he had to pay 150 dollars. Average age is 25-45.Average cocktail price is 20 dollars.

Great views, lowsy drinks and food. Extremely disappointed

Spectacular views of both the Empire State building and the One World Trade center! If you are in NYC this is a must visit rooftop!

Drinks - 5 starViews - 5 star

Crazy door policy, $500 minimum spend to enter with 2 hours of opening time left. A blatant attempt to rip off potential customers

So excited when I saw Wyclef Jean playing his guitar. And the venue is amazing! I think I want to go back for my birthday party!

Worst service ever. No bag is allowed. The security told us we have to check in our bags. We went to the cloth check. One of our friends gave her backpack. I had a shopping bag with me but she said she cannot put them together and we have to pay a fee for each bag separately. Then we said we dont want to go the place then, give our bag and the money we gave you. She said I cannot give the money back! Even though we have not left the place and not used any services. We asked to talk to the manager. The lady in charge said there is no manager, Im the boss here! We insisted for an hour to talk with manager but she refused. The security guy who was there also told us there is no manager here and she is the boss! After one hour discussion, she called the manager and put us through. I told the manager that the cloth check lady told us that she is the boss. The manager got mad about her, although the manager is she is following the rules and she cannot refund us if we left the booze after checking the bag. We said we have not left the booze at all! Then she changed her word and said actually it is not a matter of leaving the booze, if you gave the money there is no refund! So we were about to leave. Then a lady came. She starter flirting with the the security guy and the security guy didnt ask her to check in her backpack and let her through! Another example of following the rules! Never ever gonna go back; neither should you

Went to PHD last night while in town. It was free for us to get in however the guys in front of us payed $1200 for a table. Drinks were around $20 a piece but hey that’s NY. Honestly not worth the money. Went to the bathroom and some girl was puking in the sink. Not very classy.

Yuck, yuck, yuck! This may have been the worst rooftop bar I have ever been too.Bar service and bartenders were terrible, they could barely concentrate on drinks and customers. The crowd was terrible, filled with tons of rude and frankly obnoxiously drunk. People were so drunk they were sleeping on couches and puking on the floors.They boast this as some sort of club so we went to dance and have drinks. Theres no dance floor! Instead people are dancing in the aisles and its so jam packed you cant move without getting pushed and elbowed.Not recommended! Go somewhere better!

I just need to understand how an order of Kettle Rocks translates to a 5 count pour for $44...double charge.Glass of wine served in a dirty plastic “glass” with what appeared to be fungus on the side.Hard pass.Enjoy, I solemnly swear to not spend another dime at PHD.And encourage others to do the same.

Awesome rooftop bar and a cool layout, but youre forced to rent a table and its very expensive. There are alternatives nearby with comparable views that charge half the price.

Terrible experience, Id give zero stars if I could. Charging whatever they felt like at random. First it was $200 drink tab each. Then later $100 then later it was ladies free guys $150, mind you 2 of our friends got in absolutely free 30 mins prior. Never doing that again, the lady at the door was trying to get over.

Pretty cool place and you cant beat the view. The atmosphere was awesome. The only disappointment was our bottle service girl. She was not attentive what so ever and we ended up having to make our own drinks the entire night.... gratuity was already included... other than that I loved the music and we danced the night away.

Ok i was one guy and if youre not with at least 2 girls theyll force you to spend a minimum of $100 per person which is stupid if youre 2 men and a girl for example. But I did it alone, so the drinks are expensive about $17 for vodka/jack something but I dont get how you can spend $100 without getting completely wasted. Then the music is alright, nothing to complain really. The crowd is okay (was on a Thursday), the view is great although not amazing Ive seen better. The terrace is not that large and youre often stuck there. The security guys are nice although they think their bar is like a nuclear site to protect or something and it feels a bit ridiculous. Overall, the place isnt that big either, i mean i would go for $50 minimum spend but not $100. So if youre with many girls, its a good place to have 1-2 drinks for about an hour max. Otherwise, its a waste of money/alcohol.

I would give them a 0 if it were possible. My friend and I were going to meet a couple of friends there at the roof top and the door man or bouncer (whoever decides who gets on or not) told us that we couldnt get in because it was only guest list and tables tonight We stayed in the hotel to wait for our friends and let them know. However next time we heard from them they got stamped and were able to go in. I went back to this bald headed, chubby white bouncer in a striped shirt asking him why he let our friends in but not us he had the audacity to blatantly ignore me and act as if I wasnt talking to him, while I was literally in front of him. After he kept ignoring me I politely told him to F off and left... Weird thing is they let me in a couple of days ago.

Horrendous! Me and my girls pre-paid to go here for NYE from the UK. Queues were an hour long, clock room couldn’t hold any coats, no seating area. People are like sardines in a tin. Entry fee $200. Awful service and staff are rude. Views aren’t that great either.

The place is great, wonderful spot to enjoy the view of New York. As for the service, I might say that it needs a lot of work. Went there for my brothers birthday, and was basically request to order a thousands dollar bottle to only find out that we had an extra 300$ to pay. After giving them 4 different credits cards, the manager comes to us and says that our cards are declined and didnt know what game were playing... (After a moment of rudeness) Were able to withdraw cash from their ATM to pay off this added amount, just to find out that all our credit cards had been charged for the same amount ( and for some 3 same charges)

A man sexually assaulted my friend and I when we visited there. My friend was obviously upset from the man assaulting her too but WE were escorted out. When we were forcibly dragged to the lobby the manager, a short white man, was there. I tried telling him what happened and he told me to shut the f**k up. I became frustrated and upset and was removed roughly by the bouncers. The bouncer wouldnt let me go even when I was outside trying to explain that there was a man upstairs sexually assaulting women. The manager informed us he was calling the police on US. They refused to give us their names when we asked for them.We paid $200 to get into the bar, with an extra $100, and we were kicked out for being upset that a man was grabbing and touching women inappropriately in their club. This is unprofessional and is dangerous because it is silencing victims of assault. This couldve easily been handled but they thought it best to protect a man sexually assaulting women who paid to be in their club.

One star for the view down Broadway, only if you go out on the patio thou. Prices to be expected, being treated like a thief and rudeness, disappointing. They held my credit card, I guess OK, but during check out “I will give you back your credit card after you sign the receipt” she said and inspected every pen stroke while looking over my shoulder. Plenty of other over priced places, with views, in the area. The service can’t be worse elsewhere, I’ll take my chances. Not fond of only way in/out either. Oh, and plastic glasses ... $16 plastic glass of wine.

Nice rooftop with absolutely beautiful view

Good music and one of my favorite places to be with friends but the bouncers really need to come down to earth. They make up prices to scam you.

Is not worth to have a nice view and have so many frustrations over there. This place definitely do not represent New York classy night style. You must go there If you dont mind to wait 30 minutes to get in the bathroom and dance with everyone bump into you but if you have a sense of class you are going to hate this place . Girls, pay close attention to the reviews where other girls complained about being assaulted and have any consideration from the staff.PHD you can do it better! Please train your staff and find out a way for the use of the bathrooms be more efficient.

Just got home, amazing time. Im speaking from a male perspective here and literally there was lines of woman going in all the way to when I was walking out. I couldnt believe I was leaving but I was a little sleepy after a long day of working. The place is off the hook. The views are great from the huge terrace. The hotel itself is awesome. Its a paradise for people who like to have a good time and party. There is a DJ in the lobby of the hotel when you walk in. Tonight was my first time and I love it. Will be back no question. I know some people complain about PHD being expensive but if you want to hang out in what looks like the set to a Puff Daddy video you have to pay. There are plenty of bars that serve alcohol but if your single and looking to mingle this is your place. Seriously I cant believe I left, the party was so official.

Most disrespectful and rude staff i’ve ever encountered - not worth the effort

Cool place, wonderful view and not good music

The skyline is definitely the draw of this high energy club/lounge. The crowd is semi-mixed, mostly Asian/White, as well as men outfitted in their best to impress and women who look like they all work in fashion. Its not your everyday club/lounge but its nice to go once just to check it out. Strict door policy.

I was there two nights (Wednesday) ago. The guy by the door is a jerk. I understand minimum spends and differential pricing (men vs women) but there is also differential pricing between men - not sure on what basis. Minimim charge for one male can be $x and for another it can be $y depending on his mood. He might answer a question and just walk away and ignore you waiting for a line to build up even if the place is empty. Your tab will be locked with one of the three bars they have in there and you cant use your minimum spend on another bar in the venue. The place itself is ok and nothing special. Save you money and dignity and go elsewhere. Its less of a lounge and more of small cramped bottle service place. If thats your thing then go for it.

Good roof top view and terrace. Decent music. I like some of the hotels interior decor. Compared to other Meatpacking club options, this is not bad at all.

A great lounge with amazing views of the city. My friends and I went for a benefit and ended up hanging out outside at one of their tables with the most incredible views. Good drinks and company. Fun place for after work as well as on the weekends.

Chill and laid back spot for hanging out with friends/coworkers. Amazing view. Wouldnt recommend food. Drinks are over-priced but thats expected since this is a rooftop lounge in Manhattan.

Despicable service. A place where bribery is the only way to get good service.

The best of the best, talk to My Host Jack

This facility should be added to a list of NYC scams to avoid.

Good music and vibe. Great views over the city at night.

This could be the best Hip-Hop venue in Manhattan. Spectacular, open views of the NYC Skyline, extensive Scotch selection with heavy pours, and most importantly, the DJ was on point kids! Just as youd expect tho, its super hard to get in. Theres a phalanx of suited bouncers just looking for reasons to keep you from entering the exclusive private elevator to the top, so fellas, u you gotta be dressed to impress or disarm them with gab. Its posh, its Manhattan whadda you expect???

Great views, nice crowd and strong drinks

The view and the atmosphere are nice. I celebrated my birthday there and was quite satisfied. The only thing is that we were a group of 6 and me and my partner had to pay $150 to get in which went towards the bar but we didnt end up using all the money up for the drinks which was kind of a waste.

DISCRIMINATION DISCRIMINATION!!!!!! I will NEVER EVER come back to this bar! I went last night with my parents, my boyfriends aunts,mother and grandma for my boyfriends event. They wouldnt allow any of them in because of their AGE!! They said it was because they werent following the dress code but they were letting girls in with booty shorts and my parents, my boyfriends family were all dressed up in heels, slacks, button downs and dress pants! They also said that we needed to buy bottle service!!We were waiting for a hour and a half to get stamped but no one would do it. Finally my family just said it was fine they didnt have to go upstairs to the bar area and left, they only would stamp my hand! I thought all of this was horrible, unprofessional and just rude!! My boyfriends family and my family came to this event to be treated with respect and we didnt get that everyone was treating us like peasants and they were very snobby. I dont understand how this bar is still open and in business by the way they treat their customers. I was very disappointed with that and their drink prices as well. We will NEVER be going back to the Phd lounge AGAIN!

Front desk host on Monday night was very rude . My friend just asked which way do we go after paying and she snapped and said I already said it twice ! The hostess is going to take you guys and he told her okay Im just asking, relax and she said I am relaxed and he just said you know what, give me my ID and money back and the front guy (promoter or manager) only said sorry as we left. He should have asked what the problem was and how he could fix it or address that ladies attitude. You dont even know what kind of customers you just lost.

This is the most shittiest place that i have ever gone to you have to spend over $500 you and your guests just enjoy time without food. the staff shittierIf you do any wrong for example lean on the table the staff will come up to u and let you knowU have to pay to put Your coats away and it’s mandatory $5 per Item. Please don’t waste your money.

One of the better rooftop bars in meatpacking. Get there early to avoid what all the other reviews mentioned about lines, coat service etc. Views are great and they make some decent cocktails. Price is up there.

PH-D has a fabulous view and is an overall excellent nightclub. However, I take off one star because many members of their staff (from bartenders to doormen to security) are known to be rude to patrons, and I have personally had unpleasant interactions despite bringing repeat business.
