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.

You'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.

Cozy 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

Cozy 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.

My favorite bar in The City! Great cocktails ! Go for Moscow mule and Leninade! :)

I 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!

I 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.

Swanky cocktail lounge with a tucked-away underground ambience. Legit but pricey cocktails. Felt like a bunch of people were on Ashley Madison dates.
AlyssaJanuary 3, 2016
Caviar martini and the home made chips. Very intimate and cool space.
Korgel BorbelschnitzMarch 21, 2015
Get White Sturgeon caviar,potato pancakes with creme fraiche. Vodka shots. Oysters, too. Feel like top communist party member.
Ivie CJanuary 31, 2012
Yum 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.
Elysia MannApril 11, 2015
Large inside with a small upstairs too. Hot waitresses. Great ($15) cocktail menu with interesting infused vodkas,
Michael Fox-RabinovitzJanuary 19, 2015
Excellent drinks including wide selection of solid vodka shots, good menu and very cool atmosphere

The 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!

Underground Russian cocktail lounge. Mysterious atmosphere. Ask the bartender for their favorite vodka beverage.
Rachel SmithOctober 16, 2015
Super neat Russian bar with great atmosphere and architecture not to mention huge drink menu!

I miss the old logo but this is still my favorite Dirty Martini venue in New York. Keep it simple: olives and Russian Standard!
Ryan TrollingerApril 10, 2016
Lenonaide is on point! Super chill spot with great bartenders! Great place for after hour drinks!
Nastia 🍋Limonchik🍋August 17, 2014
Moscow Mule and Leninade are favorites here! Great place

“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 http://www.partyearth.com/venues/pravda.

whatcha 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.

The bohemian is maybe the best cocktail I've tried in manhattan sofar. (And have tried a loot) Go for it!
Chris KorhonenMarch 29, 2015
Authentic Russian vodka bar, good happy hour on weekdays and excellent bloody marks.
Chris LSeptember 8, 2014
Potato pancakes + creme fraiche. White Sturgeon caviar. Vodka shots. Oysters, too. Spasibo!

Happy hour: two amazing cocktails for $13. Plus homemade chips (and, if you order a Gogol, a pickled quail egg). Best deal on earth
Untapped CitiesNovember 16, 2014
Here, 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.
Christopher PepeDecember 27, 2013
Sit in a leather chair, order a martini, and people watch. There are always beautiful people at this place.
OlivierSeptember 22, 2012
Nice crowd and good music. Wish the service was a little bit faster but I could say that about soooo many places in NY :)
BravoNovember 22, 2010
Come 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
Ed HafizovFebruary 26, 2012
Ask for a sampler, called "Zakuski" - it's a 3-type appetizer set, a perfect light and diverse combo for a couple.
Anna RApril 5, 2015
The 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.

Try one of the vodka racks - six shots from all over the world! Or six shots of Pravda's own infusions.
Ronak DayaNovember 28, 2014
Russian cocktails FTW. Get the dirty martini in a cosy setting.

Nice place, good cocktails, not too packed and cool bouncer!

Fun fact:: Eater.com was created at the corner booth just to the right of the rear staircase.
Rob JanosFebruary 7, 2012
Intimate Communist decor and the best martinis in the city. Excellent Russian Food too.
Nina CebenkoNovember 29, 2012
I would hang on a cross for the spinach & gruyere w dried beef and truffle oil pizza... It's that fucking good.
michael GrayOctober 21, 2012
Head upstairs to the mini bar near the bathrooms. More intimate and fun. Same good drinks.
LukeFebruary 1, 2015
Often imitated, but still its own thing. Bring friends/a date and your credit card
Kerri WallaceAugust 10, 2011
The caviar martini is the best and I love the potato pizza! There's a tarot card reader here sometimes. Ive seen her on Wednesdays.
Elevine BergeOctober 10, 2014
Warm and nice atmosphere, but cool enough to work for various occasions.
Matt HantzNovember 29, 2012
If you're feeling really adventurous, the Gogol is very different: horseradish vodka and a pickled quail egg.
Chris HardingAugust 16, 2014
Use the bathroom and feel like you've been imprisoned for your political ideas. Support Tsar Nicholas II.
Melissa HelalNovember 24, 2012
Coconut martini is amazing! Topped with fresh coconut shavings and not too sweet

Have a vodka martini or four, enjoy the basement chic ambiance.
Lorgio JimenezOctober 19, 2014
Good cocktails, nothing too crazy, and nice spot to bring a date.
Sasha ValleApril 1, 2013
After the Moscow Mule, Gin Litchi is the way to go.
Vicky BMarch 5, 2013
The orange juice mixer has grapefruit in it and it tastes amazing- that with vodka was superb. That caviar martini was mediocre at best...
