Reservoir Lounge plays Jazz every weeknight and Saturday

Uniqueness is only true when you have experienced other venues enabling you to compare. The Reservoir Lounge is a one-off. There is no other venue in the world like it. The Reservoir Lounge has innovatively set the standard in Toronto for Swing Jazz and Jump Blues.

The open upright Piano sitting dominantly on the 12-inch high stage can be seen from every seating area in the house. You can’t but feel as though you are part of the venue and have every bit of importance as the band themselves. The audience is the unique factor in this whole equation.

How to Buy Tickets

By Jonathan Rotsztain

During the past few months, I’ve shouted at you, letting y’all know what shows to see, where, and when. Over the weekend, the thought dawned on me that perhaps my particular- and oft peculiar- taste is not exactly in sync with LoveInToronto.com’s general readership, nor should it be.
