Pravda

When it first opened, Pravda was one of those places that only the pretty people could enter. Today, the restaurant/lounge is still a favorite among some local sophisticates but not the glamour scene that it once was. Fortunately, though, Pravda has managed to maintain a bit of mystery (of course, the sub-level location helps) – from antique Russian furniture to its speakeasy-type atmosphere. If it's vodka you're looking for, this is the place to get it – with over 70 different varieties and ten house-infused flavors, you're sure to find something suitable. Just be prepared for the prices. Those looking for something a little more romantic will want to head to the upstairs bar area, which is a great place to have a quiet one-on-one conversation.
