Molotov Lounge

Maybe it's just the Cold War talking, but you'd think a Russian-inspired bar would be stiff, strict, banal, formal, even mean. Rocky IV bias? Perhaps. But the fact that all the bartenders at Molotov seem to be genuinely nice, warm, efficient, and the type to make conversations unforced, easy, like two friends catching up, well, it makes the happy hours even happier. Don't forget to tip.
