How to find us!

We’re tucked just below the parking lot at 30 York Street, right along the Avon River. If you’ve parked up top, you’re just a few steps away from boats, bikes, and maybe a sandwich by the water. You’ll know you’re close when you hear the river & smell the grill.

Getting Here:

  • We’re located on the lower level—use the stairs or the gently sloped path to get down from the upper parking area.

  • Public parking is available directly above us, with additional paid parking on downtown streets and Cobourg Street.

  • Metered parking is in effect April 1 to October 31, Monday–Saturday from 9am to 8pm.
    💡 Bonus: Free 4-hour downtown parking on Sundays and holidays!

  • Washrooms are located on the upper level near the parking area.
