St. Catharines is stepping into its big city era. ✨🍻🎶
The @globeandmail just spotlighted the incredible transformation of a historic 1870s building on St. Paul Street into @helliwellhall – a stunning blend of heritage charm, world-class design, and undeniable downtown energy.
From the preserved Diana Sweets flooring to the neon-lit marquee, sleek brewhall, and a concert space built for unforgettable nights, this new addition is giving St. Catharines the kind of urban vibe you’d expect in NYC or Toronto, right here in the heart of our city.
Congrats to Cian MacNeill and the entire local team who brought this vision to life. Downtown just levelled up. 🙌
📍 Now open at 107 St. Paul Street
