It's easy to forget there's a Russian restaurant behind this gorgeous and creatively designed lounge that functions as a virtually self-sufficient nightspot. Soviet-era propaganda posters and an enormous statue of Lenin set the mood. There's a seemingly limitless vodka selection, a homegrown "Cuban Missile Crisis" cocktail (its contents, appropriately enough, are top-secret), and a bar made of a flat panel of ice that keeps your drink at a sipping temperature.
