Best Nightlife in Kingston

"34 Clarence StreetHoused in a 1800s telegraph office, this place is packed to the rafters with assorted beer memorabilia. It’s best known for its beer, its laid back vibe and the gorgeous, private patio in the old carriageway beside the pub. Established in 1986, the Kingston Brewing Company is Ontario’s oldest brewpub and Canada’s oldest wine-producing pub."

"For a classic Kingston experience, you have to check out Kingston Brewing Company. Also called KBC, the brewery/restaurant has been a staple of Kingston culture for decades. Eric can’t even count how many times he’s been."

"Atomica specializes in Mediterranean cuisine and Italian comfort food, including an entire section devoted to vegan meals. On their plant-based menu, you can choose from tofu bao buns, Caesar salad, Caprese mac & cheese, fungi pizza, or the carne finta pizza. Atomica uses innovative ingredients like cashew mozzarella, fungi bacon, walnut parmesan, and fennel tofu sausage."

"has a relatively simple menu, but the pizzas are truly delicious and there are also great pasta and meat options available for those looking to explore other aspects of the restaurant’s contemporary"

"One of the must-visit spots in the Kingston dining scene, Atomica is known for their delicious pizzas, pasta dishes, and recently, their innovative Spanish and Middle Eastern-inspired meals."

"Enjoy a fine dining experience in an upbeat brasserie-style restaurant with pocket-friendly pricing. Le Chien Noir features a spacious dining area with a bar where guests can relax and enjoy delicious food accompanied by fine wine. This restaurant offers a variety of menus for diners to choose from including the lunch menu, dinner, brunch, and midday menus."

"With a menu that is seasonal, fresh, and as locally sourced as possible – you can’t go wrong with brunch at Northside. Nestled in downtown Kingston, you can try classics like their Avo Smash (a whole smashed avocado with feta, mint, lemon + thai chilli on grilled sourdough) or branch out and try something new like Spiced Steel Cut Oats (served warm with sweet potato + white cholocate puree, topped with seeded muesli, cacao nibs + nashi pear). As you sip on your afternoon coffee, take a pause from the busyness of everyday life and soak up the atmosphere – you’ll love this cafe inspired by the culture of Melbourne, Australia."

"Northside Cafe emulates the coffee culture in Melbourne, Australia for a refreshing experience for all its customers. A perfect spot to enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch, this downtown cafe provides welcoming friendly service that is matched by its delicious food and adorable decor. As a plus, they have all fair trade and organic coffees as well."

"Having embraced Kingston’s rich history by restoring their beautiful place in the old Turk’s building on Princess Street, Northside offers a bright refreshing space to enjoy Australian vibes while you sip on freshly brewed coffee and munch on freshly baked cookies."

"Another Kingston pub that is not downtown but great and should be included is the Loyal Oarsman. This pub, located out on Bath, is another one of those places you’d need a car to reach since you can’t/wouldn’t walk there. The place is a classically decorated pub with that pub feel you only get from the most established and tested of pubs."

"If Eric had a nickel for every time he’s been to the Duke – he’d be rich. But honestly, the Duke is great. Eric used to live on Wellington so it was always fitting to visit the “Duke on Welly” just a quick walk away!"

"This is simple but anything but plain: barbecue by region of the USA. With delicious styles of BBQ, your mouth will start watering as soon as you get in the door at this Kingston restaurant. Try the summer cocktails here, too, and be sure to look for taste bud tingling take out packages that would feed your whole family."

"We’re pleased to offer Dine-in, Take-out, Drive-Thru and Curbside at this time. Our crew is taking measures to ensure our dining. McDonald's Value Picks Menu"

"St Mary's Cathedral, built in 1842, is also called Kingston Cathedral. It is a historic cathedral located downtown. The cathedral has magnificent stained glass windows that depict biblical scenes, including the salvation of humanity by Jesus Christ."

"Chalmers United Church is a beautiful and impressive church in the historic heart of the city. It is located near the famous Queen's University on Clergy Street. This church was built in 1890 and is a Free Presbyterian Church."

"An adorably charming cafe located in Kingston’s heart (downtown). This spot offers a massive seating area for students, workers and best pals alike, with a vast array of scrumptious treats including sandwiches, salads and baked goods. We wish you luck in your journey to fight the ‘CRAVE-ings’ for sweet treats while you order yourself a warm cup of java."

"Located right on Princess Street about halfway down towards the water, CRAVE opened not too many years ago and has left its mark on Kingston coffee culture. The place is massive – making it a hub for students to study in. Don’t be scared of them, though – they just need a hot drink, a plug, and some WiFi and they will generally leave you alone!"

"Ah, our brunch love with Pan Chancho…it’s the addiction that we just don’t want to quit. This locally owned, European style cafe is checking off all the boxes for an amazing brunch; a charming aesthetic, food made from scratch, and a key location in the heart of downtown Kingston. We love the Weekender (two eggs over easy on a croissant with bacon, chives and 2-year-old cheddar), Our Dutch Baby (skillet pancake with apples, blue cheese and apple butter), the Poutine Bravas (patates frites, spicy chorizo, poached egg, cheddar curds and smoked paprika gravy.) And to be honest?"

"Pan Chancho is a favourite place to dine in Kingston, and it’s also an artisanal bakery, too. While they have loads of grab and go items, Justin and I went to Pan Chancho for breakfast. It goes without saying that you need to try their coffee or espresso bevvie for breakfast."

"This European Style bakery is located just a block away from Kingston’s historic city hall and city square. Drop in to take a tour of their open-style kitchen, and then make your selection of a variety of breads, pastries, desserts and cured meats!"
