About this space

Mezcalero is a Mexican‑inspired restaurant defined by its sociable bar and relaxed dining areas, combining casual seating and an energetic service style.

Design: The interior pairs exposed brick and dark timber beams with patterned tiled flooring and an industrial ceiling. Plush velvet sofas, leather chairs and warm globe pendant lights create layered seating and steady natural light.

Features: The venue has a PA system and speakers and allows hosts to play their own music or bring a DJ. The venue also provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and abundant natural light, plus flexible seating that combines booths, tables and lounge areas.

Ideal for: Social groups seeking a relaxed mix of seated dining and standing drinks in an informal, sociable setting.

What sets it apart: A glazed roll‑up frontage that opens onto a sheltered patio, creating a direct indoor–outdoor flow for diners.

What guests say: The venue has thoughtful, helpful staff and periods of quieter service that can improve indoor air circulation. The venue has limited accessibility because of stairs and narrow washrooms.

Engagement Party · 100 guests · June 2026
The space is beautiful, well furnished, with an indoor outdoor space. It worked perfectly for our engagement party. We had about 50 people and there was plenty of room, standing or seated. The staff were incredible, all came with great attitudes, shoutout to Jackie who was our main server and John who was our bartender. Could not have been better. We got great reviews on the food and we renamed some of the cocktails into fun names for our party and they were all a hit. Diter who was our main point of contact for the whole thing was wonderful, he answered all of my questions and made me feel very well taken care of. There are also numerous parking lots nearby and overall we could not have been happier with choosing Mezcalero for our event. Thank you to all who helped make our event such a success :)

Event Space · 60 guests · August 2026
It was so easy to work with Mezcalero! William was very responsive and was always able to provide an answer to my many questions. The catering menu is extensive and has many different options to chose from. The staff are all so friendly and professional and made the event amazing! The food was incredible and the staff perfectly timed / space our order out. Everything was tasty and perfect temperature. The drinks were also amazing and the staff accommodated having tabs / multiple bills for drinks. The venue is very spacious and has an incredible patio with large garage doors so it feels like one big indoor/outdoor space. The venue is already beautiful and fun, so I did very minimal decor. Overall it was an incredible experience and I cannot recommend this place enough!

Wedding · 120 guests · August 2026
The food was fantastic and the drinks were amazing. It is such a beautiful venue, there was very little decorating to be done. The real standouts were the staff. The bartenders were absolutely excellent and the other service staff kept everything organized and tidy. Will was a gem. Everything we wanted, he somehow made happen. He was delivering drinks to tables (totally unnecessary and unexpected, extremely appreciated). He remembered guests’ names. He was in top of monitoring the food situation and sending more I it when he felt like it was needed. He controlled the flow perfectly. They were willing to work with us on basically everything we wanted. No ask was too much, and if there was something that they couldn’t do (I think we had to keep the music down before 8 pm while the bookstore was still open?) we never knew about it. Everything was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue. Everyone was complimenting the food and service all night. We’ve had multiple people reach out to tell us it was the coolest wedding venue they’d ever been to. Highly, highly recommend.
There was truly nothing to dislike. Everything was perfect.

40th Birthday Party · 80 guests · July 2026
I can’t say enough good things about Mezcalero! From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive and patient with what felt like my million questions while I was planning my event. Their communication made the entire process so much easier. I was honestly very nervous on the day of the event because I had booked the venue without ever seeing it in person or trying the food, but everything exceeded my expectations! The chef was so accommodating and even made changes to the menu on the day of the event to ensure all of our dietary requirements were met. The food was delicious and all my guests enjoyed it! The service was exceptional from start to finish. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and made great drinks, and the staff checked in with me throughout the event to make sure everything was going smoothly. It was clear they genuinely cared that we had a great experience. The venue itself was beautiful, having the patio was a huge bonus and really added to the atmosphere. My guests raved about the venue and kept saying what a great spot it was. Thank you to the entire Mezcalero team for making my husband’s 40th birthday such a memorable celebration. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another event here and highly recommend Mezcalero to anyone looking for amazing food, outstanding service, and a beautiful venue!
