Donald McIsaac erected this beautiful three storey brick building in 1862-1864 on Sims Corner, so called because the property had been in the possession of Thomas and Charlotte Alchorn Sims from 1806.

The most colourful owner and occupant of the building was Mr. P.P. Gillis, who ran the “Red Pharmacy” between 1895 and 1910.

A drug-store in the front half of the building and a reputed conviviality shop in the rear, proved very popular with local businessmen while prohibition was in effect. This location has also been a large family home, apartments and a barber shop.

In the fall of 2005 Steve Dunne and local restaurateur Kevin Murphy purchased the building and began the process of renovating to create what you are experiencing today.

The Murphy Group of Restaurants is proud to present you with Prince Edward Island’s first authentic Steakhouse. Kevin and Kathy Murphy hope that you enjoy your stay at Sims Corner and welcome you to join us in our philosophy that great steaks, big wine, and PEI hospitality come together to create the ultimate dining experience.

Enjoy!
