The Reservoir Lounge

It’s usually hard for me to have a nice birthday in Toronto since I am a winter baby but this was by fair one of the best birthday I have had! There was cover at the door, which makes sense since there’s live music, but coat check was complimentary. We were seated at a booth near the front next to the sweetest women. We ordered some appetizers and drinks since we were there for a night out. The food was phenomenal and so were the drinks. We were able to leave our table to dance and it was safe for us to leave our belongings at the table. The atmosphere was amazing: moody lighting and live music. I believe Queen Pepper was playing that night - amazing stage presence! We met so many interesting people and had fun conversations. The woman next to us had told the server that it was my birthday and the server brought out a slice of cake with a candle! We also got complimentary lemon drops! Overall amazing service and vibe. Can’t wait to go back.

Bar and restaurant geared towards jazz fans. The place has an intimate and minimalist vibe, with low lighting, good service and a good menu. The restaurant focuses on making Martines, but also serves other drinks and wines. The only thing that leaves a lot to be desired is the acoustics of the venue, which makes it almost impossible to hear the music with the noise of the crowd, and most people go there to drink to their limits. The venue is well located, close to bus stops and the King subway, and there is paid parking on the street. It is not accessible for wheelchair users or people with other disabilities.

You’re here food the music and drinks, not really the food. Food is just okay there is definitely room for improvement. The show was wonderful and the staff are great. Everyone we interacted with was really friendly and accommodating. Free coat check is available. There is a $10 cover charge for entering. I do suggest making reservations for better seats. Regardless, you can hear the music perfectly from wherever you sit! Drinks are good!! We got the strawberry coconut martini, wine, and a lychee mocktail. We ordered the seared tuna tataki (drowned it in an over bearing sauce that I had to scrape it off). Their Quattro pizza was just okay. Creme brulee was good except the sugar was too burnt for 1/2 the dish that I was removing it & just eating the cream portion. Would come back again as they have different artists playing each day!

What a cool experience to see great live music and good vibes. Tasty martinis and great singer Danny B. Danny B puts on a phenomenal show while you sip on your favorite drinks. We even got some food which was good too. We even got to meet Drakes dad Dennis Graham.

This jazz lounge is a hidden gem of Toronto. The performances usually start at 9, running pretty late. The waiters were super friendly too. Ambience is amazing!

One of the best spots in Toronto for live jazz and blues - if not the very best! I keep returning, especially on Saturday nights, to enjoy the always-entertaining Danny B. Cover is $15 per person, with music starting at 9 PM or later. The food and drink options are solid and reasonably priced. You can hang out by the bar near the dance floor or get a table (reservations are highly recommended). Make friends and have fun!

Best time ever! My boyfriend and I came here for the first time and had the most amazing time for date night. We’re both 21 and love jazz - Danny is a phenomenal performer and his band is magical. Definitely recommend coming here - the best vibes!

Came here for my birthday. Got greeted by a rude staff member by the door. He gave us seats that have limited/no view of the stage. Food was bad, tiny portions. Waitress somehow managed to get both of our drinks wrong lol. The music was mediocre for the entrance/cover fee, which was $10. The layout of the bar is very odd, there is a huge wall, blocking the views to the stage. The overall atmosphere of the bar is a little off. Not that many people are actually enjoying or listening to music. Lots of shouting and talking in the crowds. Wouldn’t come back; I think there are better jazz bars in the city.
