Balzac's Distillery Cafe: This historic site is perfect for weddings, corporate events and film shoots. The cafe quickly converts into a bar with a dance floor on the main level, while the upstairs gallery can either be converted into a dining room or remain a cozy lounge. During the summer months, it is easy to license the patio so guests can flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, all the better to fully enjoy the beautiful Distillery District.
