Russian Vodka Room

The place is my favorite one to introduce Russian cuisine to my American friends. It serves a variety of authentic Russian dishes, not just Vodka as the name of the place might imply. I wish they would use wild mushrooms in their cooking, but that one thing aside, the food is really great.The men bathroom is under construction (as of April 2018), but I would chalk that up to a typical Russian experience as well :).Live music is another nice touch, they play easy listening stuff and old-time Soviet pop variety. Very nostalgic. Спасибо за вкусную еду и приятную атмосферу. Обязательно прийду ещё!

Don't let the Christmas forever interior turn you off. The food is excellent! We tried the borscht, the eggplant trio appetizer the duck and the lamb shank. They were out of this world.The chicken Kiev was a little bit dry for my taste, but I am not a big fan of the chicken breast to begin with. Their dirty martinis are wort the trip for sure!

Love here for happy hour; offering 5 flavored vodka. Great atmosphere too you feel like your transported when your inside the curtains

Olya was a wonderful bartender and its beautiful inside!

I absolutely LOVE the Russian Vodka Room. The food is delicious and everything is authentic. The vodka is dangerously good— it tastes like jam, but it is... vodka. Would especially recommend the strawberry and apricot varieties. On certain days they have live music which adds to the already lovely experience.

This place has stood the test of time by being consistent, no-nonsense, yet jovial (it's a piano bar at its core!) Vodka infusions that taste like fresh ingredients (garlic dill and pepper is legitimately refreshing) work together with some almost comically high end options to make space for anybody to enjoy a little dark corner of fallen opulence with a Russian sense of both humor and style. The late night food is also a welcome alternative to surrounding faux-diners - both authentic and Americanized enough to work with any palate.

I was only at the bar. I needed help of the bartender to understand the pricing written on the menu. Shot and rocks? Single or double... To be honest, the collection of vodkas especially russian vodkas could be more explicit, as long as you are vodka room or bar. Me and my friends enjoyed our choices of vodka, except cranberry drink which I ordered in a hope it has anything to do with the one from back home in russia. It didnt work for me at all. The vodka they use is very poor quality and it feels like it.

A wonderfully comfortable & quiet place. Live piano, authentic menu, extensive choice of Vodkas.One of my go to places to spend the occasional afternoon (and evening). Super friendly service - all of it at significantly less $$$s you'd expect.

Historical, nostalgic space. Strong drinks and friendly faces. Yummy dumplings and traditional Russian dishes

Good list of Vodka infusions. Service was good. Not very busy at all. Happy Hour was only in the bar area so we were charged for dining room prices ( 12 feet away). A little dingy but friendly people minus the drunk regular at the front. Good selection of food however the cheese pastry definitely tasted like it was previously frozen. The mushroom dumplings were excellent and the cold chicken appetizer was a little questionable. Piano player was talented.

I think it was my favorite place in Manhattan. There's something about infused vodka. That stuff is straight up defy gravity fuel. I Thoroughly enjoyed my time there. You know what I'm just going to leave it on my bucket list in the hopes of returning . There's something to be said about culture , Russian Vodka Room is truly cosmopolitan.

Just a surprise! Service, drinks and food were amazing. We thought we were coming for a couple pre-dinner appetizers, but they were so generous and like an entire dinner. All from scratch!! So glad we wandered in!!

Authentic food and authentic staff👌🏼 loved it

Run downish but wonderful. Stopped in for a drink pre-theatre and loved the infused vodkas. We had a peach-apricot, a red grapefruit and a horseradish. Horseradish was our favorite.

Such a cool experience! Drinks and food we're delicious, the service is great the staff is helpful and nice and make this experience complete. I liked the decorations that really supports the theme and how the melow music sips in and make the time spent there, special. My sister couldn't join me and it's a shame
