The Russo Family Wizard Lair is a hidden lair where the Russo kids went to have magic lessons from their father, Jerry. It is now used by Justin to teach magic to his sons and Billie. The lair can be accessed from the Waverly Sub Station via the freezer or from the Russo's apartment. The lair has a portal to the wizard world which can be used as an entrance for visitors. The lair is also where the Russos keep Kelbo's magical and dangerous gifts to avoid Alex messing with them.
All wizard families have a family lair, and relocating it involves appealing to the wizard court and filling out a 4000 page form. Without a magic lair, wizards are unable to contact the wizard world. It's mentioned that it was Jerry's father who made the decision to put the family lair in the freezer of the Sub Station, but it's never said where it was before, so it's unknown whether the next family wizard can move the lair without going through the full process.
Starting in the episode Alex Gives Up, Justin takes his delinquent class there.
In Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, Alex connects the lair to Justin's home in Staten Island, as the place was apparently unused following the ''Unicorn Incident" which caused Justin to give up his magic. The only way for Justin and Billie to access the lair from his house is by a mirror that opens a portal to the lair. If the mirror were to break, it can only be repaired from inside the lair.
The freezer containing the doorway to the lair was sold off years ago by Max to a restaurant called Chêz Prêtenshoo.
