The Community
Today, there’s no need for headphones. You’re plugged into a feeling, and with every step, you shuffle through a new kind of playlist. It’s the quiet exchange between neighbours enjoying the sunrise, the rustling leaves as you walk along The River Walk, and the sound of the ice shaker crafting the perfect cocktail at the distillery. It’s the perfect mix. This is life at The Metalworks in beautiful Downtown Guelph.
The River Walk
The River Walk connects the farthest ends of The Metalworks, bringing easy access to Downtown from either side. The beautiful promenade features historically inspired art exhibits and scenic landscaping, bringing the perfect opportunity to unwind and let go while taking it all in.
The Heritage Building
The Heritage Building has been standing on the banks of The Speed River since 1827 and was once renowned as the industrial heart of Guelph. The building has been revitalized into historically restored spaces, including Spring Mill Distillery, a large event space, and more to come for Guelphites and its visitors to enjoy.
Spring Mill Distillery
Located inside the Heritage Building, Spring Mill Distillery uses time-honoured techniques to create the highest quality of premium Canadian spirits. Led by Guelph’s own John Sleeman, the family-owned business goes to great lengths to ensure their distillery and bar serve exceptional experiences inspired by the community itself.
