Helen's is a distinctive restaurant located in Richmond, VA, boasting a rich history that dates back to 1912 when it originally functioned as Fletchers pharmacy, which served as a social hub. Since evolving from a beer bar and juke joint managed by Helen Donati to its current form, it has maintained a nostalgic swing-era charm while offering contemporary Southern cuisine.

With a legacy steeped in family tradition, Helen's has experienced various transformations, yet it remains a beloved local landmark known for its unique decor and festive holiday spirit. The establishment is also noted for its rumored paranormal activity, with many claiming to have encountered the ghost of Helen, who continues to watch over her namesake restaurant.
