Live jazz place

Rated this place:

A main staple of Toronto! The staff have been there "forever" and are the best. The music, Ambience, food and beer are the best.

The city's most accessible jazz bar

Rated this place:

Once apon a time, Toronto had a number of high-profile established jazz clubs: George's, Top of the Senator, Montreal Bistro, etc. All have since closed. At the time, the Rex was a divey joint; it has since been renovated. It hasn't filled their shoes, not exactly -- it certainly doesn't have the cachet (or prices) that the Senator did -- but it fills an equally important role, encouraging young and emerging musicians and music lovers, as well as die-hards. Plus, there's music at almost any time of day. (Great food rounds out the package.)

Live Jazz

Rated this place:

The Rex is a great place to unwind with friends, coworkers and family alike. They host solid live Jazz and Blues shows (many of which are pay-what-you-can and feature both established and emergent talent), the grub’s decent enough to warrant a second go, a good number of draught beers are available, the prices ain’t too bad (considering it’s primo downtown location), it’s got a sweet retro-timewarp thing goin’ on - and it’s one of the least pretentious clubs in the city.

Jazz bar

Rated this place:

Ince the late '80s, the Rex has been at the forefront of Toronto's thriving local jazz scene. the casual atmosphere, eclectic mix of retro-chic decor, and dilemma inflicting variety of draught beer make The Rex Hotel feel like a second home. The Jazz & Blues Bar continually attracts Canada's finest musicians and is unique in that it remains distinctly inexpensive and affordable for the budget-conscious...

Best jazz in Toronto, bottom line. Laid back, eclectic and a comfortable place to have a drink and some good food. I'm a vegetarian and I can always find a good meal at the Rex.

Two words: Kevin Quain. If you ever catch a performance either here or Graffitti's in Kensington Market, you're in for a treat. Nice service, great location, cheap entertainment - it's great.
