The Beer Hall is the new space of the Mill Street Brew Pub situated in the Distillery District. Opened in April this year, this place offers a modern and lively atmosphere where it is pleasant to enjoy a good beer with friends or simply an excellent meal.

 Once checked in, we are first impress by the space mixing modernity and traditional decor. The whole venue is filled with copper pipes and an old distiller, which brings back memories of the ancient distilleries. However, from the wood and metal aspect of the walls to the long black tables boarded by electric red chairs and black leather seats, you will feel timeless, between past and present.

With its open concept kitchen offering local and international cuisine, a heated, a cover patio and communal seating, The Beer Hall is the perfect place to welcome group events from 15 to 500 persons.
