What they say:

Ruski's Tavern is currently closed and awaiting a new location.

Ruski's Tavern is a new caviar and vodka based underground late night entertainment venue, that pays homage to the 120 year old history of the bar (in its former home of St. Petersburg), with elements hinting at Imperial Russia, Soviet Russia and post-revolutionary Russia. The venue will focus on all things Russia, and will keep people rocking at its new Kensington home until the wee hours of 3am. Guests can nibble on a selection of traditional Russian dishes, such as caviar, steaks and more alongside the largest collection of vodka in all of London.

What we say:

The opening of Ruski's Tavern has doused Kensington in all things Russian, and by all things, we mean Vodka and Caviar. The new underground bar will be a haven for vodka fiends, boasting the largest collection of voddies in all of London. Once all the vodka has put you in the mood to boogie, Ruski's transforms into a nightclub that stays open until 3am. Everything down to the Matryoshka doll shot glasses and unique cocktails served in flasks hidden in books has been informed by Russia - Ruski's offers something a little different to the Kensington and Chelsea bar scene.
