The best of the Old Country can be found at Hammer & Sickle, Minneapolis' favorite vodka bar which features some of the tastiest Russian-American cuisine. With more than 70 different vodkas including house-made infusions, a full wine list and plenty of beers (30, in fact), to say that there is something for everyone is an understatement. As if that's not enough, you can also sip on one of their terrific cocktails which are always hand-mixed for maximum quality. With two Happy Hours (4-7 p.m. and again from 10 p.m. until 12 a.m. daily) and great food and drink specials, there are even more reasons to check this place out. While you're there, peruse the menu which is filled with hand-crafted creations designed to put a smile on your face, even if the cuisine is new to you. Must try dishes include any of their pierogi -- these pillowy dumplings are stuffed with a variety of fillings; who doesn't love dumplings? Or, try classics like the stroganoff, chicken Kiev or the cabbage rolls, just to name a few. Everything, from the pickles to the desserts are made in-house from only the very best ingredients, so you're bound to enjoy each and every bite. Open daily until 2 a.m., this is the perfect place to go for a drink or a meal, any day of the week.
