Korochka Tavern 2317 North 45th Street, Seattle, WA 98103

"I frequent this spot and always have a great time. Perfect for cozy conversations at the start or end of your night. You can’t go wrong with any of the cocktails and the horseradish vodka is a real treat if you’re into that kinda thing. 10/10 would recommend."

"Lenin Drop is one of my all-time favorite cocktails, but we had a wobbly table and it spilled everywhere, and they didn't offer to remake it. Pickled plate is delicious and pricey. No parking, good luck with that. Small and cozy with bar seating and booths, great when not busy. Awesome wallpaper."

"If you want to expand your palette this is a fun place to come. They have a nice horseradish cocktail. Good atmosphere and music. Staff are really fun and this place was pretty packed on a Saturday night."

"Korochka is the real deal where it counts: the dumplings. As an Eastern European, I am often snooty when it comes to ex-soviet cuisine. Especially in the PNW. But their pelmeni was perfect: served in the traditional way (butter and sour cream) with a little kick of sauces on the side. Easily the best pelmeni I’ve had in the PNW (sorry, mom). Their cocktail menu is actually fun - I highly recommend the beet infused vodka, which is just the right amount of tart. The atmosphere and service make this place a solid 10/10. It’s beautiful, cozy, and makes you feel like you’re no longer in Seattle. Being able to buy the dumplings frozen absolutely made my week too."

"The beet vodka is a must try! We had the restaurant week menu which comes with a set of pickled veggies, bread, dumplings and dessert. The pickles are refreshing - liked the beets and carrots. The dumplings are acquired taste. The honey cake was simply too sweet."
