About Rasputin

Malvern’s long-standing Russian banquet hall delivers a nostalgic late-night party powered by endless courses, live music, and free BYO. Gather a crowd and pull up a chair for a traditional feast that keeps tables loaded with stuffed fish, fresh salads, and skewers of creamy prawns on rice. Bring your own bottles without worrying about corkage fees. Between courses, the live band takes over with saxophone, keyboard, and soulful vocals, pulling everyone straight onto the dance floor past 1:00 AM.

  • Continuous Multi-Course Feast: Up to 15 courses of hearty Eastern European dishes, from stuffed fish to grilled skewers, fill the table right through the night.
  • Free BYO Drinks: Guests bring their own bottles with corkage included in the fixed per-person celebration price.
  • Live Band and Dance Floor: A live band and floor shows keep the party moving with sax, keys, vocals, and late-night dancing.
