A handsome limestone-built casino hotel in Kingston, with a small but properly old-fashioned card room at its heart.
The Limestone Yard occupies a row of the grey stone townhouses Kingston is named for, close enough to Lake Ontario to catch the light off the water most afternoons. It's a quiet, well-mannered building with no interest in flash.
The card room is the real draw — a proper, low-lit space that plays more like a classic club than a modern casino floor, and regulars clearly treat it that way.
Blackjack, roulette and a dedicated card room anchor the floor, with a small, well-placed slot bank near the entrance. High-limit players use a private table by prior arrangement.
Seventy limestone-fronted rooms look toward the lake or the old town. A single tavern-style restaurant handles dining, alongside a snug cigar-and-port bar.
In Kingston's historic limestone district, walkable to the waterfront and Queen's University. Toronto and Montreal are both under three hours by car or train.
The Limestone Yard is for players who want an old-fashioned card room over modern polish. A calm, characterful stop on the Canadian list.
