The most wonderful time of the year deserves a very good b**r. 🍻 And perhaps six of them.

Belgian Noël returns to The Standard for a one-night celebration of festive cooking, Belgian Christmas ales and the simple pleasure of gathering around a very good table.

Six seasonal courses. Six carefully selected Belgian b**rs. One memorable evening.

No birthday. No anniversary. No explanation necessary. Sometimes a very good dinner is reason enough to go out. Make a reservation and join us this weekend!

Time is an ingredient, too.

Select cuts are carefully aged before making their way into the hands of our kitchen. A process built on patience, care, and allowing each ingredient the time it deserves.

Just one of the details behind dinner at The Standard. Because what arrives at the table is only the final part of the story.

There’s something about getting dressed, meeting for drinks, and having nowhere else you need to be.

We’ll take care of the cocktails and everything that follows.

We believe Friday deserves proper glassware.

Start with cocktails at The Standard, add something to share, and see where the evening goes. We’re right in the heart of downtown Hamilton, which makes us a particularly convenient first stop for whatever you have planned after.

Or, conveniently, the entire plan.
