At one time, Red Square boasted what was billed as the largest collection of vodka in the world.<\/p>\n
Perhaps Red Square’s most recognizable feature was its headless Vladimir Lenin.<\/p>\nLenin had a head when Red Square opened. It was lopped off after the hotel was criticized for glorifying the Communist leader.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Red Square was taken over by Disruptive Restaurant Group, a division of SBE (the folks involved with SLS at one point), in Feb. 2019.<\/p>\n

While plans for the Red Square space haven’t been announced, we’d wager the new restaurant will be managed in-house.<\/p>\n
