PHD Rooftop Lounge at Dream Downtown

A night to remember.

This was a memorable and extremely generous date that my boyfriend took me on. There was a $200 minimum the night we visited. His card was charged and we had $200 to eat/drink.

The view of the city is amazing!

Food and drinks were very good. A very upscale experience.

The worst espresso martini I've ever had omg....tasted like the coffee grounds you throw away from a shitty pot of coffee. For a $25 drink, that was the worst money I've ever spent. Nasty AF. Music was pretty good, but the rooftop has a cover all the way around and looks nothing like the pictures advertised. Not to mention the $50 ticket for a lousy Thursday night.

the worst place to go. Not only because of how excessively expensive is, but also because of the poor treatment of the staff. A waiter pushed me and one of the managers came and literally told me to leave the place. and that we were occupying a table that was worth 800 dollars and if we didn't pay that! on top of the 400 that I had already paid , that I was in the wrong place... that in Queens I could find places according to my finances. it was disgusting !

If you are black, they will try to exploit you, therefore I do not support this business


What's extremely sad is that the bouncers we're black as well. In a group of 6 I walked up behind a group of non minorities, whose IDs were checked and they were let in with no issue, then we were up to enter, we were advised that we would be held to a $600 bar minimum - this was not required of our non minority counterparts. When we questioned the bouncers they said "they came as individuals and you're coming as a group" when we advised we'd all enter separately the bouncer said "goodbye".

I had a table reserved at another Tao property and got bumped for a private event. I accepted a table at PHD instead. Lame music. Lame crowd. Quite possibly it picks up late night but for me it was a waste of money and I didn't stay long.

The most disrespectful manager at the main entrance I've ever encountered. Literally never been so insulted before. Upon arriving to this upscale rooftop we were greeted by an asshole doorman who asked us for the name on reservation we said the first name, he began antagonizing us for the last name and impatient that we were trying to get a hold of our friends on the phone. He started laughing and mocking us telling people around us that were dumb that we don't know what a last name is that it comes after a first name.
Literally never coming here again it's a shame that it cost $400 to spend just to get in here. Piece of shot staff!!!

I visited the club one night and the cover charge was $150 (which was more of a drink minimum rather than a cover). The venue was pretty nice but it was mostly tables and not much of a dance floor. I wasn't a huge fan of the music which was hip hop all night. I guess this club doesn't get famous DJs like with Lavo and Marquee. It was nice to try once but probably wouldn't come back.

I came here for a friend's 40th birthday party this past Tuesday and it was incredible! He rented out the entire venue and it was such a well-run event. Staff were efficient and friendly, the bartenders kept my non-alcoholic ginger beer flowing all night, and the DJ was bumping great tunes all night. I haven't been here on a public night but for private parties, I wouldn't hesitate to book this place. I'm sure it's probably somewhat pricey but from what I can tell, it was certainly worth it!

Spent Saturday evening at PHD. Found about this place on TikTok as I was an out of towner. The views were immaculate and the drinks were worth every dollar. If you come here be sure to ask for the bartender Money Meg! She made the night and drinks worth while .

I came here on a Saturday night with two friends at around 11:30/12 midnight (doors open at 11pm), and the party was in full-swing! It's definitely a nightclub at that time--the place had an awesome vibe with a great crowd of attractive people (mainly 20's), and it was packed in a good way (and not in an over-crowded way), you still had space to dance and move around. Lots of birthdays here with bottle service and sparklers! The DJ is amazing and plays a lot of fun hip hop mixes, as well as house, reggaeton, r&b throwbacks, a perfect mix to get you in the dancing/ partying mood. People dancing on the lounge chairs, a fun vibe!

Only negative thing is that the drinks are weak and $$$ (but that's what it's like in 90% of rooftop clubs). So pre-game beforehand.

PHD rooftop is also very aesthetically pleasing, beautiful rooftop with fantastic views! It has plenty of lounge seating. This is my favorite lounge/nightclub if you compare it to Tao Nightclub (next door) and Electric Room (in the same hotel). Tao Nightclub is way too crowded (can't hardly move) and Electric Room isn't crowded enough...PHD Rooftop strikes that perfect balance! Go there first.
