Bar Lubitsch is a Russian-themed bar in West Hollywood. I'd been a couple years ago and didn't find it that special, but returned this past weekend for a friend's birthday, and appreciated it much more this time 'round.The Soviet Russia propaganda decor mixed with roomy booths and lots of deep reds makes one want to try the bar's many vodkas. A refreshing specialty cocktail featured on the chalkboard menu is a Moscow Mule, made with Russian Standard Vodka. They serve it in a tin mug, and it's adorned with a slice of candied ginger.
The bar is owned by the same Los Angeles group as Swingers, El Carmen, and Jones. It's actually quite a lot like El Carmen, just a Russian vodka bar rather than a Mexican tequila bar. The "red room" in the back is an added bonus, though. On Saturday night it was jam-packed with people dancing. There's a smaller bar back there, and I believe it can be rented for private parties (I've been to a play there).
