Our Story

Over one hundred years ago, when temperance societies and prohibition ruled America, it was from this very room that the whiskey barrels began their clandestine journeys across the lake and around the world.

Today, more refined spirits are served up, and people come for the ambience and amazing food, particularly the fresh fish and oysters flown in from across North America and abroad, every day!

Continually recognized as one of the best places for seafood in Toronto, Pure Spirits is located in The Distillery District.

Jostling for elbow room at Pure Spirits' table: sustainable seafood, seasonal mains, sharable sides, balanced cocktails and Ontario wines.
