Russian Vodka Room: A West 52nd Street Vodka Lounge With a Daily 4–7pm Happy Hour
The Russian Vodka Room on West 52nd Street is exactly what the name says: a deep vodka list, including its own house-flavored infusions, in a room dressed like a traditional Russian home. Happy hour runs every day from 4 to 7pm, right as the doors open.
It’s a Theater District stop with more personality than most: wood furniture, artwork and chandeliers, live piano and jazz, and a proper Russian menu — borscht, beef stroganoff with kasha, chicken tabaka, blini with red caviar and herring under a fur coat.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs daily from 4pm until 7pm. The venue lists the window but not the prices, so ask the bartender what’s included — and try one of the house infusions while you’re there. Verified on the Russian Vodka Room’s specials page and OpenTable in October 2026.
The Room
The Russian Vodka Room is at 265 West 52nd Street, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue in the Theater District. The decor evokes a traditional Russian home, there’s live piano and jazz, and it stays open late — until 2am Sunday to Wednesday and 4am Thursday to Saturday. Reservations go through OpenTable. The B/D/E at Seventh Avenue and the 1 at 50th Street are the nearest stops.
