Located at 211 Victoria Street, Metropolis is one of Hamilton's oldest cafes and, along with Cullen's restaurant, is attributed with sparking the revitalisation of Victoria Street's south end in the early 1990s. Originally located in the Le Grand Hotel building, Metropolis moved to its current location in the mid '90s.

Local artists have exhibited artworks at Metropolis, including Greg Page, who also filmed a music video there for Failsafe band Throw (All Different Things), which starred Justin Harris and Kirstin Marcon. Metropolis was a major sponser of Contact 89FM during the early 1990s, sponsoring the Contact Subcards and the Top 13.
