This is a well-kept and beautifully restored historic former distillery now filled with shops, restaurants, and art galleries. There are also several outdoor sculptures for viewing. If you go there in the evening and a lot of the galleries are closed, it might seem like there's not a lot to do, but I'd definitely recommend going if they have any... more

This newest district in Toronto is well worth a visit. There are plenty of galleries, retail and craft shops along with casual dining options inside and along the alleyways. The former, refurbished distillery buildings are well preserved and add character of this art community. more

We enjoyed the historic distillery district from the comfort of a Segway -- a marvelous device and lots of fun. The tour was led by a young man very knowledgable about the colorful history of the district and we had a great time! more

The Distillery District is a great place if you need a little quiet time from a hectic vacation. Many of the art galleries are quite expensive. However, there is a little kitchen shop that has some very unique applicances and gadgets. more

The Distillery District is a very nice collection of old buildings. Unfortunately, it isn't very exciting. We went on a summer Saturday afternoon, and found most things to be closed. The area is mostly filled with art galleries, and a few expensive restaurants. Its WAY out of the way from most of the tourist points in the city. I'd recommend... more

Me and my husband loved this. It was a great way to spend a few hours in the afternoon. Often they have great performances going on. It's like a snipit of what you would pay to see at one of the local theatres. Soma, chocolatier was great. The spicy hot chocolate is hard to find, so this was a treat... more

My husband and I make a point of going to the Distillery District a few times every summer. We like to take advantage of the live music amongst the beautiful old brick and cobbestone. One of the best evenings in memory was the Songwriter's festival last year (2005). We had a wonderful dinner and were introduced to some truly talented... more

My husband and I wanted to have a nice dinner and check out the art scene we heard so much about. We got a FABULOUS dinner at the Boiler Room (really good -- no TGIFridays or Cheesecake Factory fare -- true four-star cooking). It was expensive, but the best meal I had in Toronto. The shopping was minimal because many... more

Maybe it's because we were there when it wasn't summer, so it was kind of a dead place. Most of the shops are galleries and many didn't seem to be open. It's also out of the way from the main part of downtown so unless you're really into art and sculptures, I'd skip this place. more
