Dimly lit tabletop gaming hall with miniatures and copper fixtures

Distillery District · Toronto

Where Legends Are Forged at the Table

A copper-lit gaming foundry for tabletop adventurers — 600+ board games, dedicated campaign rooms, miniature painting benches and weekly leagues under one hammered-metal roof.

Our Story

From an Empty Warehouse to a Living Citadel

We built this place one salvaged copper fitting at a time. Here's how the Citadel took shape.

2016

The First Roll

Four friends and a folding table in a Distillery District loft. Twelve games, one kettle, and a rule that nobody games alone.

2018

The Foundry Opens

We moved into the old cooperage on Distillery Lane, clad the walls in hammered copper, and opened six dedicated campaign rooms to the public.

2021

The Painting Wing

Added twelve lit miniature-painting benches and launched weekly Warhammer and Kill Team leagues that now run to a waitlist.

2024

600 Games Strong

Our curated library crossed 600 titles, from ten-minute fillers to weekend legacy campaigns, all sleeved and shelf-ready.
