I know you're here for fancy vodka cocktails, but if you're hungry, trust me, go for the fish plate. It's so good (esp when you make little sandwiches w/ tortilla things) I may go back just for those.
Paul KingtigerJanuary 14, 2016You're here for the martinis, which are pricey, generous, and excellently made. My favorite is the French martini, a NYC original. It's no longer on the menu, but they will still make it for you.
Marcos AlvesJune 5, 2015Cozy environment, nice option for either romantic drinks or chatting with friends. You must try the spinach and gruyere pizza with truffle oil. If you like vodka, must have the six-pack tasting.
Ray LinJanuary 24, 2014Cozy but not crowded, lively but not too loud. Perfect for conversation over cocktails (and by cocktails I mean an extensive vodka cocktail menu). Ideal date spot. #flex
Nastia 🍋Limonchik🍋May 23, 2015My favorite bar in The City! Great cocktails ! Go for Moscow mule and Leninade! :)
Ivie CJanuary 31, 2012Yum yum yum. I always come for drinks but did not realize what a yummy menu they have. The appetizer platter is Delilsh and the pizza with cheese and truffle oil was absolutely heavenly.
Korgel BorbelschnitzMarch 21, 2015Get White Sturgeon caviar,potato pancakes with creme fraiche. Vodka shots. Oysters, too. Feel like top communist party member.
Elysia MannApril 11, 2015Large inside with a small upstairs too. Hot waitresses. Great ($15) cocktail menu with interesting infused vodkas,
Untapped CitiesNovember 16, 2014Here, the selection of vodka is far from short and the Homemade Chips with Crème Fraîche and Caviar among other food items are not to be overlooked.
J CrowleyMay 28, 2014Swanky cocktail lounge with a tucked-away underground ambience. Legit but pricey cocktails. Felt like a bunch of people were on Ashley Madison dates.
Ryan TrollingerApril 10, 2016Lenonaide is on point! Super chill spot with great bartenders! Great place for after hour drinks!
Nicolette RomeroMarch 14, 2015I recommend the Teacher's Pet. And if you need a snack, get the calamari. It's probably one of the best I've ever had!
Michael Fox-RabinovitzJanuary 19, 2015Excellent drinks including wide selection of solid vodka shots, good menu and very cool atmosphere
Happy hour: two amazing cocktails for $13. Plus homemade chips (and, if you order a Gogol, a pickled quail egg). Best deal on earth
Collette SNovember 17, 2015Underground Russian cocktail lounge. Mysterious atmosphere. Ask the bartender for their favorite vodka beverage.
Minda AJuly 13, 2012I feel like I'm in a James Bond movie whenever come here. With soundtrack. New goal with my friend is to try every drink in the menu. Had the caviar martini. Fig-infused is next.
Rachel SmithOctober 16, 2015Super neat Russian bar with great atmosphere and architecture not to mention huge drink menu!
Chris KorhonenMarch 29, 2015Authentic Russian vodka bar, good happy hour on weekdays and excellent bloody marks.
Anna RApril 5, 2015The infused vodka were fab. Had reservations for 830 and was upon arrival that the resturant would close at 10pm for a private event and we would have to leave. Ended up somewhere else for dinner.
I miss the old logo but this is still my favorite Dirty Martini venue in New York. Keep it simple: olives and Russian Standard!- DoubleDeuceMay 18, 2015The toilets are upstairs & creepy. The upstairs is so weird. The street lamps adorning the walls are odd & exciting. The mirrors everywhere make it seem bigger & sound louder. The b00ze is thumbs up!
Party EarthApril 16, 2012“No Happy Hour, but if you go before 7pm & buy your friend a drink, the bar will buy you one in return. Share the potato pancakes while you’re at it!” More at
OlivierSeptember 22, 2012Nice crowd and good music. Wish the service was a little bit faster but I could say that about soooo many places in NY :)
Chris LSeptember 8, 2014Potato pancakes + creme fraiche. White Sturgeon caviar. Vodka shots. Oysters, too. Spasibo!
Ed HafizovFebruary 26, 2012Ask for a sampler, called "Zakuski" - it's a 3-type appetizer set, a perfect light and diverse combo for a couple.
VettazouDecember 2, 2012The bohemian is maybe the best cocktail I've tried in manhattan sofar. (And have tried a loot) Go for it!
Christopher PepeDecember 27, 2013Sit in a leather chair, order a martini, and people watch. There are always beautiful people at this place.
Kerri WallaceAugust 10, 2011The caviar martini is the best and I love the potato pizza! There's a tarot card reader here sometimes. Ive seen her on Wednesdays.
Matt HantzNovember 29, 2012If you're feeling really adventurous, the Gogol is very different: horseradish vodka and a pickled quail egg.
Eelain SteketeeAugust 9, 2011whatcha doin' here if you aren't drinkin' a 'tini? as in, a martini!! and if you're feeling a lil frisky, spice it up with some caviar.. now, smack those lips & taste the awesome.
Sharon TsaoFebruary 4, 2016You might like this place if you're really into vodka... The ginger vodka I had on the rocks though was way too strong for me.
michael GrayOctober 21, 2012Head upstairs to the mini bar near the bathrooms. More intimate and fun. Same good drinks.
LukeFebruary 1, 2015Often imitated, but still its own thing. Bring friends/a date and your credit card
my favorite russian bar in the city...always a fun crowd. they make great vodka fusion cocktails.
Melissa HelalNovember 24, 2012Coconut martini is amazing! Topped with fresh coconut shavings and not too sweet
BravoNovember 22, 2010Come to this place if you drink vodka and like to be seen at the downtown hip place. Lots of people and good music. -Ed Cotton, Top Chef
Be brave. Go for the Gogol. And do it during happy hour when everything is two for one.
Vicky BMarch 5, 2013The orange juice mixer has grapefruit in it and it tastes amazing- that with vodka was superb. That caviar martini was mediocre at best...- Nice place, good cocktails, not too packed and cool bouncer!
Elevine BergeOctober 10, 2014Warm and nice atmosphere, but cool enough to work for various occasions.
Try one of the vodka racks - six shots from all over the world! Or six shots of Pravda's own infusions.
Nina CebenkoNovember 29, 2012I would hang on a cross for the spinach & gruyere w dried beef and truffle oil pizza... It's that fucking good.
Check out the upstairs bar on fri and sat, less crowded and cool vibes
Rob JanosFebruary 7, 2012Intimate Communist decor and the best martinis in the city. Excellent Russian Food too.
The house infused fig vodka is delicious! And the scrambled eggs
