    According to the owner:
    The accompanying menu includes specialties of the old Soviet Union – Russian bread and pickles, homemade blini, perogies, caviar and Zakouski or International Tapas, as well as other more familiar items. The caviar ranges from bargain-priced coloured eggs to the rare and fancy Sevruga, Beluga, or Canadian Sturgeon varieties. A tapas menu includes Russian garlic bread, mushroom duxelle croustinis and Russian sausage with caramelized onions and red peppers. Pravda’s happy hour – Monday to Friday, 5-7 p.m. – is the time for martinis and complimentary appetizers.
    With its sleek interior, Pravda doesn’t really conjure images of mother Russia, but nevertheless it has a large collection of nostalgic icons. Portraits of Lenin, Stalin, Gorbachev, Ché Guevara, and Chairman Mao line the walls alongside the hammer and sickle flag and other remnants from deep behind the iron curtain. Since first opening, Pravda’s owners have expended considerable time and money into their intriguing interior. Finishing touches to the décor make it feel more like the Kremlin than a run-of-the-Soviet “voda” bar. Electronic sounds pulsate on most evenings, although Tuesday’s soundtrack is dedicated to more sedate music. Wednesday through Saturday, however, features a live DJ who injects a bit more excitement.
