Ringside Hamilton

In the 1960s, Hamilton boxing icon Patsy Brandino opened Ringside Restaurant and Bar (inside what is now Architect Hair Design), and ran a pool hall in the back. Keeping history alive, we have revived that backspace as Ringside Hamilton in honour of the Brandino legend.

This 2,500-square-foot venue features a stage, bar and flexible event space, with additional outdoor areas available to complement your event.

Acapulco

A tucked-away outdoor courtyard and bar in the heart of downtown Hamilton. A unique setting for summer celebrations, cocktail receptions, outdoor gatherings and events that deserve a little fresh air and something different.
