Hammer & Sickle

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!

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!)

What a fun place! Small but well built menu, the pierogi are a bit heavy but that isn’t a complaint because wow they were delicious! Highly recommend getting their meat sampler platter too as it’s visually amazing and tastes incredible for a great price. My fiancé got the classic Comrade pierogi which were great, meanwhile I risked the Sputnik. Both were delicious but BE WARNED the Sputnik is NOT a joke 😂. I was breathing like I’d run a marathon and we were both laughing so hard we couldn’t breathe because of how red I turned from the pure HEAT of them! I ate all five and powered through, and they were genuinely very flavorful, but my god my stomach was not the same for the rest of the night. We also got two different mules though I can’t remember which. Honestly you can’t go wrong with any of them or anything at this restaurant. This will be a regular staple for us!

This was a surprisingly filling meal. I don't know if it was that we waited too long to eat after working out or the pierogis were just more hearty than expected. They were tasty. Beautifully cooked. You know how some dumplings (boiled, fried, or steamed) just has a soggy part to it? These were perfect. Great silky texture all around. The grilled pork loin was delicious. The citrus and sweet flavor really made the dish sing. Loved it. If you like warmth (Vodka) and quality comfort bar food on a cold, snowy night... this is the place.

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.
