Laura Lee's is an updated take on the American fern bar on Semmes Avenue in Southside Richmond. Our space is comfortable and lovely, with living walls, padded chairs and semi-circular booths, a classic mirrored bar, and a backyard garden patio.
We are open for dinner every night of the week and for brunch on Saturday & Sunday.
