Private Events · Coppermine, ON

A lakeside room of your own,
with 24 taps and a wood-fired hearth.

Rehearsal dinners, corporate retreats, and milestone birthdays on the edge of the Coppermine since 1998 — now in our 27th year under original family ownership, and the only covered, year-round outdoor venue on the waterfront.

A 27-year institution, available for an evening — or a whole weekend.

Host the gathering your team, your family, or your friends have been talking about since spring.

Since 2008, we have hosted more than 1,400 private events in this room — from Hydro One retreats to rehearsal dinners to a surprise 60th on the patio. Our events team is four people, led by a Cicerone-certified beer director and backed by 38 full-time staff including four Red Seal chefs, so the planning is real and the food is consistent.

You book the space. We handle the seating chart, the bar, the wine list, the pizza station fired at 480°C, the place cards, the dietary cards, the music programming, the coat check, and the cleanup at 1am. You arrive at 5pm and enjoy your own party.

  • Three event rooms: dining room (up to 80 seated), heated lakeside patio (60), bar lounge (28).
  • May–October: patio season. November–April: cozy indoor fireside events.
  • Known hosts: Hydro One, Agnico Eagle, the City of Greater Sudbury, and 1,397 other events.

What hosts say

“We had seventy people from four offices up for a two-day retreat. The team handled breakfast on the patio, the AV, the beer flight, the dinner, and the late-night pizza bar without me touching a thing. The hearth was still glowing at midnight when the last cab arrived.”
