SFR Distillery pours its personality into every bottle, from a corn‑forward whisky that carries banana and caramel whispers to a copper‑pot gin that snaps with citrus and juniper. The lineup includes a peppery chili liqueur that heats the palate, an orange liqueur that brightens a margarita, and a herbal green elixir that balances peppermint with warm spice. Behind the bar, a master distiller guides tours that reveal the grain‑to‑glass process, while a mixology lab invites guests to remix classic cocktails with house‑made syrups. The space feels like a workshop‑turned‑lounge, where conversations flow as freely as the spirits. Whether you’re tasting neat, shaking a drink, or watching the stills work, the experience is grounded in bold flavor and unapologetic craft.
The distillery is praised for its welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, tasty food and drinks, clean and well-designed space with a unique brewery feature, and friendly, knowledgeable staff who enhance the overall experience.
SFR Distillery is such a great spot and honestly feels like a hidden gem. The vibe here is super cool—very relaxed and welcoming. I can imagine if it got really busy, it would still be a fun, chill place to hang out. We went before a hockey game, and it was the perfect pre-game stop. The atmosphere was awesome, and they even had some drink specials going on for game day, which made it even better. The food really stood out—everything we tried was fresh, well-made, and really tasty. It’s nice to go to a place where both the food and drinks are equally great. The space itself is very clean and well laid out, with lots of room to hang out without feeling crowded. One of my favourite parts is the brewery section, where you can see the big stainless steel brewing tanks/fermenters and brew kettles, where the beer is made. It’s such a cool feature and adds a nice industrial touch to the space. On top of that, the service was fantastic—everyone was friendly, helpful, and made sure we had a great experience. Highly recommend stopping in, whether you’re grabbing food and drinks before a game or just looking for a fun, relaxed spot to spend time with friends.
SFR Distillery offers restrooms and serves cocktails. It is wheelchair accessible with parking, entrance, restrooms, and seating available.

"text": "Our host, Adam, was extremely knowledgeable and positively energetic about his products. Unfortunately only the gin and Poitin (unaged whisky) were available for tasting. While I’m not a gin person, this was definitely one of the nicest I’ve had. The whisky had a wonderful smoke but, not surprisingly, lacked the depth of flavour that comes from aging in some sort of barrel. Given how “young” this distillery is, I think they’re off to a great start but I will need to go back as their products evolve. Great first experience though and luckily there is a nice craft brewery right next door! :)",
