After spending 9 months in Wilmington working on a film, it always felt great to be able to dance and blow off some steam with friends and crew members at Pravda and upstairs at Sputnik. It has the awesome big town club vibe (the sound system in Sputnik is better than most of the clubs in Los Angeles) but in the quaint setting of downtown Wilmington. Their biggest asset is DJ Milk who plays music the patrons want to hear NOT the pretentious house beats most DJs want you to hear!
Review Source:Chelsea Handler said it best, "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Renee" (well she said Chelsea but you get it) - my love for vodka(s), plus my 15 words I know in Russian (one of them being Cheers...) meant I was super stoked when my friend Eddie told me about Pravda.
Pravda was wonderfully located within stumbling distance to my hotel and from the Little Dipper, where we just had gorged ourselves on fondue. Â With all the red, Lenin, and especially the RPG above the bar, I felt all I needed was an Ushanka, (fur hat) and a little snow and maybe I had been teleported to the 1980s USSR.
I was happy Pravda stocked Rain vodka, my signature (and fave) vodka - it's made from 100 percent organically grown Illinois white corn and is certified organic. Â Truly a rare find in North Carolina. I was unhappy that they stopped stocking ginger beer so I was unable to have my signature classic cocktail, a Moscow Mule - vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. I mean really - it has MOSCOW in the name, so apropos, alas unfortunately not.
They make the sweet and sour from scratch everyday so I deviated from the norm and drank Makers and Sour the rest of the night. They had their own fruit infused vodkas: apple, strawberry, and one more.. (I forgot - lots of whiskey) - the apple was subtle and added that perfect hint fruitiness to whatever cocktail it was I was sipping on simultaneously to my Makers Sour.
It wasn't too crowded about 10 on a Saturday but there was a steady stream of people flowing in so I could imagine around 11 it'd be pretty full up with people. I was also happy I could have a pop princess moment and dance to Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas.
Alejandro. Alejandro. Ale-ale-jandro. Ale-ale-jandro.
And yes, I had a headache the next day.
I can't say that I have experienced a lot of Wilmington's night life so I dont have much to compare with but the Pravda was the happening place when we rolled through. Nice booming sound system and bunch of hotties dancing, and ratio seemed to be in favor for the... boys! The vodka list was not too fancy but I think would satisfy most.
