OVERVIEW
Rumen Dimitroff, the man behind Rasputin and the original Pravda Vodka Bar, opened a new Russian-inspired lounge called Samovar in August. Located in Cabbagetown on the second floor of a heritage building that once housed the Laurentian Room, Samovar specializes in premium vodkas, absinthe, and champagne. The venue, filled with dark wood and a mahogany bar that dates back to 1935, is available for private events. The space holds 140.
