The Iron Duke is a cozy downtown pub and eatery, featuring a variety of local providers, talented local chefs and a selection of Ontario craft beers. The heritage 1850s-era space was completely renovated and opened for business in 2008, and since its beginnings, many of the Iron Duke’s actions have been guided by the principles of sustainability. The owners and staff are proud to be a Kingston Community Partner and to share in their city’s sustainable future.
