I wish I had taken a pierogi pic, but I didn't! We went to Hammer & Sickle on a Tuesday evening and enjoyed 1 pierogies (five come with each order) as well as 2-for-1 mules. I later tried their rendition of a mojito made with blueberry vodka. Everything, including service, was absolutely top notch. 10/10 going back for the great specials & great service pictured here is the Cuban Cocktail Crisis (mojito drink - made with their house infused blueberry vodka!)

The perogies are delicious. Moscow Mules and amazing. The entrees and desert and wonderful. This was a delicious restaurant. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was delightful, andmy experiance was satisfying. Not only do they have great food and a great happy hour, their to-go containers are sustainable!

This place is awesome! My wife and I decided to try this place for our anniversary last night. And we were very impressed. First of all the staff were excellent. And the woman waiting our table seemed to be running the entire front of house which seems to be a trend with staffing shortages. But she did a fantastic job, we never once felt like our needs were not being met. She did a wonderful job. The Moscow Mules are great, and they have a large variety of different types. We tried the Hammer Mule (Which was made with my favorite Hammer and Sickle Vodka) and the Straeberry Rhubarb Mule which was absolutely fantastic. (So good I drank 5 alone) Now for the food. They had a special going for 5 Vareniki/Peirogi plates. So we endulged and tried 3 haha. We had The Comrade (Our favorite), The Polish (Fantastic with the horseradish sauce), and The Yankee (Our least favorite, though still good) By far the best part of the meal was the Beef Stroganoff served over Spaetzel. The creamy sauce they made was absolutely mouth watering. It was by far the best Stroganoff I've ever had (Sorry Mom). The steak was cooked to a perfect Medium-Rare and the Spaetzel was tender and delicious. We finished the night off with the Molten Lava Cake which was perfectly executed. The center was gooey and delicious, and it was served with fresh strawberries and a little drizzle. If youre a big chocolate fan, this dessert is a must. 10/10 we will definitely return for our next date night. Thank you to the staff for our wonderful experience and amazing food.

Hammer and Sickle is fun. The location in central Uptown is great with lots of foot traffic. The decor is fun and the theme is interesting in the best way possible. The mule I had was really refreshing on a summer night and I definitely wanted to try more. I ordered the house vegetarian special, which was honestly the best vegetarian dish I've had since living in Vietnam. I highly recommend Hammer and Sickle, and I will definitely be back!

Great food and cocktails, friendly servers. We got a few different drinks, all of which were really tasty. Also ordered lamb shashlik, pierogis, and borscht. Not the best borscht I've had, but everything else was really good.

Fantastic Russian cuisine & creative cocktails at a great price. I'd recommend the borscht & pierogi, and the standard mule. Also a huge fan of the beet salad, served with warm rye toast.
