Matilda Swanson Gallery & Art Bar is a fantastic location to visit for locals and tourists of Stratford. There is a phenomenally wide variety of pieces from artists around the area of various artistic styles. The gallery staff are extremely friendly and approachable plus there is a great selection of cocktails, wine, or beer to drink as you wonder and browse the paintings and artwork. It is a must visit.
Beautiful space and gorgeous artwork. The owner was kind/knowledgeable and made us feel right at home. Very accommodating about shipping/wrapping work. The cocktails looked so fun we have to come back and try them. 10/10 great spot to stop and hangout.
This place is the best! They display works from a wide variety of local artists without prejudice towards the content, so you will see darker pieces alongside bright bursts of colour.
There is a licensed bar with a robust selection of wines, local microbrewery beers, and, most importantly, some of the best cocktails in town.
Go visit, have a drink, look at some art, chat with the extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, it's a great time out!

The venue showcases a rotating collection of local art, with a welcoming staff and an owner described as a "sweetie." Visitors can enjoy reasonably priced cocktails, such as the Shakespeare garden cocktail, espresso martini, and pisco sour, which are all well-made and flavorful. The bar also offers snacks like dill pickle popcorn and a macaron trio, perfect for enjoying before a show at the Avon Theatre. Manya, the bartender, is known for being super friendly and making delicious cocktails. Customers often remark on the art, which they find inspiring, and note that they might leave with a newly purchased painting. Overall, it’s a lovely spot to check out local artists’ work, relax with drinks, and enjoy a warm, friendly atmosphere.
