Food was excellent, the 2 CREEMORE beer I had were SMOOTH as SILK & the Jazz band played SWEET SWEET JAZZ !!! Our server was AMAZING !!! She was so efficient, attentive & very friendly to our party

Michael Holdsworth

Basic, but decent and clean rooms , friendly staff and a great breakfast . Some decent craft beer on, too. Don't expect an early night though, the jazz goes on 'til late!

John Matheson

If you like jazz/blues, and if you are from anywhere, you should make a point to go to the Rex. The acts there are consistently first rate, the beer is cold, and the food is well-prepared.

Marvin

Grab a beer , sit by the bar and listen meet some great people pre-show by the bar . Great avenue to meet fellow jazz peeps 🎺

Danielle Bohy

Awesome music . Great vibe. The Chili and Cheese is only ok. Definitely check this spot out if you like jazz or blues .

WayneNH

Best jazz club we've found in Toronto. If it's open jam or a scheduled performance , check it out!

Paula Madeira

Expensive like all the hotels in downtown Toronto, but the room and bathroom (in-suite) were clean , it was quiet and the location is awesome. Lame complementary breakfast and no stairs.

Seda Sendenel

Music is great but we couldnt find any seat so we had to leave after a while

Anna Kopaniarz

Good place for live jazz . Also have pretty cheap rooms there.

Ozge Y

Nice atmosphere and good music . Service is quick but you don't get to see the staff smile.

Wen-Hao Lue

Easily the best Jazz club in Toronto. Only warning is the volume (try not to sit too close to the front), and the ketchup (it tastes a bit off). Otherwise, their $2.75 plate of fries is killer.

Terrence Clark

Enjoying the Roy Assof trio and the Mill Street Organic

Live music is great on a Sunday afternoon accompanied by a pint or two of Tankhouse.

Tamer Algun

Best music in town

Pete Mills playing. Music is great! Wings smells great tho I couldn't have any... 😢

Armando Martz

The worst service ever, the place is great and the jazz excelent, but the waitresses are very unpolite and they got mad every time we ask them for something

Jazz and food

Gareth Seltzer

Never order the wings! Worst in the city . Like pigeon wings. Tiny, soft and each appears to have been hit be a car. Every wing had the bones broken so hard to eat. Like eating smashed Lego pieces.
