The Russian Lady – open!


The Russian Lady is a multifaceted café and nightlife venue that has established itself as a domineering force in its industry. Originally opening in 1976 in Downtown Hartford, The Russian Lady quickly became a fixture for live music, gatherings, and of course- it's Infamous Russian Lady Iced Teas! After closing its doors in 1997, the demands to bring back this social landmark were answered in 2011 when The Russian Lady reopened under new ownership and a with new remodeling. With over 12,000 square feet, three different floors, and various different rooms, The Russian Lady is able to offer a unique experience to its patrons. Customers can enjoy a pub-style atmosphere on our first floor, a vodka bar and lounge as well as a billiards room on the second floor, and a cigar bar on our rooftop. With our festive Happy Hours, pub-style menu, live entertainment, and multiple TVs for sporting events, we have a little something for everyone!

There’s a pub, a vodka bar lounge, billiards room, and cigar bar on the roof. But stay classy folks, the Lady has a dress code. The only menu on the website is for VIP bottle service, this place isn’t for the faint of heart or light on the wallet.

I can’t believe neither recipe has vodka in it.
