Editorial Review for Vlada Lounge – by Lynn Suhrie
In Short
Cool points are awarded to this Hell's Kitchen nightspot for having an ice track to keep its vodka shots chilled. Such good care is taken because the 15 infused vodkas are all homemade, from plum to apple-cinnamon to garlic to tarragon. Neighborhood businessmen sip them standing cheek-to-cheek beneath the glossy arched ceiling downstairs (there's only one couch), but can stretch out in the second floor's airier dining area.

As an avid bar-goer, and a man who enjoys the company of other men, I would have to say that my experience at Vlada was spectacular. I have one word to tell you exactly why. COLE. He is the cherry on top of my HOT fudge sundae. I gave him my number, you so if you're reading this, Cole, it's Jeremy! Call me! PS I have to agree with the aforementioned comment about your package. Super hot :) XO
Pros: Cole
Cons: Some other bartender wouldn't shut up about his X-boyfriend.

This Manhattan Lipstick Les was quite impressed with the scene. There were a few other lipstick les there and all the boys looked like models stright from the pages of an Urban Outfitters catalog. The DJ was the BEST. None of that cheezy 20 minute Caldrone nonsense -- played great mixes of M.I.A. and Ronson ft. ODB. The vodkas could be better. I noticed that my pineapple infused vodka came out of a bottle from a cheap brand of vodka. That's ok, but if I was going to pay homage to vodka and spend all that time infusing, I'd start with a decent vodka. I'm no stranger to the crunk juice, so I could let that slide a bit.
Pros: Beautiful crowd, nice decor, great tunes
