That’s a hell of a run. I would go there in the 80’s. I had friends at Trinity in Hartford. We world also to a bar called Elmers by Central Connecticut college in New Britain when we went to see our friends there.

Oh wow...I remember going to The Russian Lady in the 80s too! I don't remember Elmer's though. I grew up in the greater Hartford area but live in the despicable state of Florida now! Like "The Ukrainian Lady!"

Another place to go to back then was Brown Thompson's! Do you remember that place?! It was more restaurant maybe than bar but it was THE place to go back then!

It's now the front entrance for a hotel.
Everyone drank at Brown Thompson!
