Welcome to the True Wild Distilling Bar & Restaurant, A live-fire restaurant nestled between towering whisky and gin stills inside a stunning heritage building. High-quality proteins and sustainable vegetables dishes are infused with the unique flavour profile that only charcoal can impart.

True masters of their craft, our mixologists expertly blend our spirits with curated ingredients to create cocktails that are as delicious as they are imaginative. Whether you’re in the mood for a perfectly prepared classic or want to try something new, our bar has what you’re looking for.

It’s not just a meal or a drink; it’s an experience that stirs something inside.

Our family had a fantastic experience last night. The food,drinks, service and atmosphere were incredible. Well done to Matthew and his cohorts for their service and for guiding us through our first visit. To Bryce, Bravo! All the hard work to bring the vision to life was well worth it. Our first, and definitely not our last. Terry, Jasmine & Deb

Beautiful place, fantastic vibe, wonderful cocktails, excellent execution on the grilled meats. We had a table near the kitchen and those guys operated in a state of zen. Our server was outstanding. Attentive and provided a great overview of the menu. I highly recommend and will return. Looking forward to the launch of their whiskeys in a few years.

Great experience. Food was superb and service good as well. Nice cocktails too. However I’d like to see a little less American wines and more Canadian or other on the wine list considering the current issues with the US. I’d definitely go back.

We came to celebrate my partners birthday and it was great! The food was lavish yet simple and expertly prepared. The service was attentive and professional and many astute recommendations were given and accepted! The room is a jewel and feels expansive and cosy at the same time.
