Why CIRKA
Book a room and people show up. Book a distillery and they stay.
Hotel ballrooms and blank lofts blur together the second everyone leaves. A real distillery does not. Your guests walk past the copper stills that make the gin, sip cocktails poured a few steps from where the spirits were bottled, and head home with a story instead of a branded lanyard.
That is the difference between an event people attend and an event people remember. And remembering is the whole point of getting everyone in one room.
Not a room with a bar. A distillery that happens to throw a great party.
Industrial-chic and unmistakably ours, inside a working distillery on the Lachine Canal. The copper stills that make our gin and whisky are right there in the room with you.
Our bar team pours signature cocktails built from spirits distilled in the building. Start everyone off with a Tutu Pele and let the night write itself.
Add a tour and tasting to turn a 5 a 7 into an experience. Fifteen minutes in, your team stops making small talk and starts asking how whisky is actually made.
