Distilled Beauty Bar and Social House opens

This spa-café hybrid is such a cool edition to the Marda Loop neighbourhood, and unlike anything else in the city. Designed by Nam Dang Mitchell Design, the whole space is incredibly beautiful with marble countertops at the nail bar and brick and wood accents throughout. In the front of Distilled there is a café serving up Rosso coffee and a selection of lighter meal options like sandwiches, charcuterie and cheese plates, and salads. Towards the back there’s a super-chic spa area, offering everything from manicures and pedicures to facials and lashes, plus there’s a blow dry bar.

Distilled is sure to become your new favourite hangout. —Sara Samson
