How to get in
Resy reservations for 1–8 guests release on a rolling basis up to 7 days ahead — book exactly 7 days out; it rates “very hard” to get. A few first-come bar seats for parties of 4 or fewer go at opening. No standing room. $15/person late-cancel fee.
The honest take
The phone-booth entrance is still real and still backed by world-class cocktails — but the room is tiny, hard to book, and thick with tourists hunting the booth. Spontaneous visits fail unless you hit the door at opening.
