With a sleek decor and friendly staff, Vlada Lounge is an ideal place to hang out with friends and knock back shots Ruskie-style. This swanky Hell's Kitchen drinkery serves 15 kinds of infused vodka; from apple-cinnamon and cranberry to horseradish and dill, Vlada's vodkas also contain "a few secret ingredients (that only the KGB knows for sure)." And rather than have the bartender chill your drink, simply place your cocktail on the thick layer of ice along the bar to keep it at a Siberian temperature.  Voted Best Gay Bar in 2007 by "Aol" and "City Guide".
