Steeped in history but bright and modern, the space is warm and welcoming. A long, row of booths overlook the patio and are a perfect spot for a quiet business lunch, tete-a-tete, or celebratory get together. The mix of booths, long bar and central tables encourages you to make every lunch, your own unique occasion. The staff is friendly and efficient and always delighted to help you select from a range of exceptional choices. Whether you've celebrating the closing of a Bay Street deal or simply taking a break from discovering the Distillery's many shops and galleries, Pure Spirits lunch team will always accommodate and delight.

Pure Spirits goes hand-in-hand with the theatre. Soulpepper Theatre is just a short 100 foot stroll down cobblestoned, Distillery Lane, from Pure Spirits front door. We understand the need to "be there on time" as well as ensuring your pre-dinner meal is the start of an exceptional evening. Let us know when reserving your table that you have theatre tickets ... and we'll ensure everything goes perfectly! Stroll back after the curtain falls to chat about the play over a glass of wine inside, or enjoy the quiet warmth of a summer evening on our intimate patio.

Every evening, Pure Spirits transforms into the perfect dinner destination. The 150 year old brick walls and wooden beams are now bathed in the light of reflected twilight and the distinctive blue crystal lighting-pendants that define the long bar. Shadowed but cozy booths exude warmth and intimacy for a romantic get-together. The central tables are perfect for an energetic, fun dinner for any size party, from 2 to 20. If you choose to dine at the long bar, you can enjoy the rhythmic artistry of skilled oyster shucking; Belons, Malpeques and Kumamotos being prepped for someone ... perhaps you!

Right at the centre of North America's only true, European-style walking-district and surrounded by unique shops and galleries, Pure Spirits is a magical destination. With a large outdoor patio, long indoor oyster bar and a lively, relaxed atmosphere, Pure Sprits always delivers a memorable evening out. Great food and drink at reasonable prices, all in a special environment that spans 150 years of history. It's so special, you'll wonder how this place stayed hidden so long, so close to downtown!
