- Sameepa ShettyJanuary 6, 2015You go for the vodka, not the service. Piano player is a good touch. Must try 6 flavor option for $33. Grapefruit, horseradish, ginger, peach apricot, pineapple are great flavors.
- Alisson SellaroMay 24, 2013One of the most amazing and bizarre places in NYC. Great vodkas in a late 60's atmosphere. From piano music to the uncomfortable couch, everything is awkward, but somehow everything works just fine.
- RayRico®™April 6, 2013Great fusion vodka selection. Layla and the rest of the musicians were great as well. Fun atmosphere, and had a really good time. Live music every Friday and Saturday night!!!
- The New YorkerOctober 14, 2013“One night, a bartender…was asked to name her favorite thing on the menu. For just a moment, her face softened and she lit up: ‘The meat dumplings are fantastic.’” Read more
- DoubleDeuceFebruary 6, 2020The infused vodkas aren't really worth the effort. Just get you vodka chilled if you want less vodka flavor. For me, I love the natural flavor of vodka. The burrata salad is delicious and big.
- Katie LarusseDecember 2, 2015My fave Russian place in Manhattan. All food was great, drink-wise loved the horseradish Bloody Mary. There's a wide selection of infused vodkas, the best I've seen so far!
- Ms HeleneMarch 27, 2014Happy hour till 7pm for $6 flavored martinis that were strong. Gravlax platter with potato pancakes were awesome $16. Crab cakes were only ok, 2 for $12
- Julie StarnesMarch 19, 2014It's a vodka room, let your imagination take you away! A wall of it, ask the bartender for a recommendation...best served ice cold and in a shot glass. Zyr is my favorite.
- E PNovember 10, 2013The horseradish vodka is worth trying but will require one to have an acquired taste to truly enjoy it all night. Live piano is the cherry on top. It makes your experience slightly less overwhelming.
- Good food, good drinks. Horseradish vodka is great, especially in the Bloody Mary. For food, try the crab cakes, pelmeni, and olivye!
- Try the dirty martini, it’s the best one in the neighborhood. If you sit at the bar, it’s the best one in the World.
- Nathan WrightFebruary 8, 2013My favorite Midtown Manhattan bar. Great mix of characters and Russian ambiance. It's a small space that fills up fast. Warning: the martinis are mean and strong.
- Sadik Aydin PhotographyApril 28, 2013I liked vodka lemonade. Cool place and they have live piano music. I will come again with my wife to taste other stuff from the menu.
- Morgan Von SteenDecember 11, 2013Pretend you’re a Soviet-era spy laying low in this dark lounge as you pop mouthfuls of caviar and blini, chased with ice cold house-infused vodka and accompanied by live piano music. - Buzzfeed
- Stephanie MorenoOctober 28, 2012get a bottle of horseradish infused vodka, gravlox, herring w/dill potato & beets, & stroganoff for party of 4. you will leave happy.
- Sandra RubinchikNovember 25, 2015Everything is dill-ightful! (Pelmeni and infused vodkas are a must.)
- joanneApril 23, 2012the standout flavor of infused vodka was blueberry vanilla bean. the garlic/pepper/dill was also surprisingly good, for those who like savory flavors.
- Olessya KMarch 20, 2013The peach martini is surprisingly very good and refreshing! Perfect after a long and exhausting day at work.
- The Corcoran GroupNovember 12, 2010Enjoy one of 53 different vodkas - $3 shots during happy hour. You’ll feel like you’re walking into a Russian mafia film.
- AdnaSeptember 21, 2015Go during happy hour between 4-7pm! The atmosphere was very classy and there was live piano jazz.
- Anna CastelliFebruary 14, 2016Omg, bartender awesome! Drinks awesome!! Stay there!! We should have stayed for the food!!
- Peter SmithFebruary 3, 2017Excellent happy hour flavored vodka martinis, excellent all-female bartenders and great beef carpaccio!
- Waitress are cold but they are Russian. Take only one cocktail it is worth two in alcohol. Great place to start a night, be careful you might finish there.
- Horia DragomirNovember 2, 2015Try a shot of horseradish infused vodka. It pairs well with anything else you'll order.
- This place has been going downhill for years, the food, atmosphere, sadly no longer a cool place to hang out
- BMI EliteApril 18, 2011Amazing Russian favorites from small plates to appetizers to pair with a mind-blowing selection of vodka infusions and select brands.
- Dan GruzmanOctober 25, 2014The horseradish vodka-based cocktail definitely lived up to its name but was way too much. None of the novelty cocktails sounded especially appealing. Good appetizers though!
- Amanda AvneryJanuary 24, 2017The filthy Russian!!! Best vodka martini in the city. Generous with the gorgonzola stuffed olives.
- My PerestroikaAugust 17, 2010Had a blast at our after party here! Still a chance to catch the film at the IFC Center. "One of the best films of the year" -The Huffington Post. In Russian w/ English subtitles. Ends Aug 19th. Read more
- Korgel BorbelschnitzMarch 21, 2015More night club then authentic russian bar. But have good vodka list. And beautiful ladies.
- Valary OleinikApril 3, 2011Apple/pomegranate and ginger infused shots are excellent. Can't wait to go back and try more of these homemade wonders.
- Erin McBrideMay 21, 2011Actually, after 15 minutes, you don't notice the smell. And the drinks are really good! My horseradish infused vodka bloody Mary was terrific!
- Colonel ClayMay 31, 2011This place is the greatest. Sit at the bar and order the vodka sampler. Pick horseradish and garlic as two of the flavors.
- Always ask if there are other vodka infusions besides the ones on the menu. We got to try blueberry and mango flavors that way.
- Trevis Dane WimerSeptember 22, 2011Try a Vodka Lemonade with your favorite Caviar selection; Akvinta Vodka, Thyme Syrup, Lemon,Sugar Rim
