Fodor's Expert Review Rasputin Vodka Bar

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
The Russian Empire is a streetcar ride away at this no-pretenses vodka bar whose mismatched barware, chandeliers, and well-worn Victorian sofas create the illustion that the entire place was smuggled out of the old country. More than 40 varieties of the clear stuff is on the menu, as are creative cocktails and Eastern European nosh (latke, cabbage rolls). DJs spin dance music on weekends.
