The Diplomat is a casual global eatery inspired from global street scenes and markets. The eclectic decor is modern, colourful and exudes a fun and energetic atmosphere. From high top tables, to lounge chairs and bar stools, this space can transform to meet the needs of any guest or group size. Great for group a get together, a casual bite before or after a concert, or a place just to hang out with friends while indulging in one of our many specialty cocktails or our interesting beer selection.
