The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. The Rex books about 19 shows every week, an astounding number by any standards. The roster is mostly comprised of local and regional jazz and blues artists, but does include international acts and a smattering of other genres. The vibe is super casual – the focus truly is on the music. But the food is pretty good, too, with numerous vegetarian options, and there's a good selection of draught beer. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Subterranean it may be, but C'est What is definitely not sub-par. Dedicated to all things local, the establishment promotes Toronto with exhibits from regional artists and shows from local musicians in their state-of-the-art performance room/recording studio. Before they made it big, the intimate space hosted Barenaked Ladies, Jeff Buckley and Jewel, among others. An amazing selection of beverages includes their own line of craft brewed beers and wines, an array of Ontario microbrewed beers and wines, plus a great list of whiskies. In keeping with Toronto's rep as a multi-cultural city, the menu features fantastic food from around the world. A true Toronto favorite. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. When it opened in the late 1990s, Billiards Digest magazine named the Charlotte Room one of the top ten best new pool rooms in North America. The place has continued to live up to the initial kudos, offering a classy space with several tables and impressive food and beverage menus (no greasy wings and canned Schlitz here!). If the pool tables are occupied or you simply want a break, you'll find a number of other diversions in the form of board games, everything from chess to Boggle to Risk. Some Friday nights host live bands or magic shows. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Since 1947, the Horseshoe has been entertaining Toronto's thirst for live music with a roster of musicians as varied as Arlo Guthrie, the Ramones, the Cramps, the Police, Johnny Lang, 10,000 Maniacs, Billy Bragg, and Soul Coughing. Well known for keeping up with the times, the performance schedule has morphed over the years, from county and rockabilly, to folk and reggae, to punk and metal. A renowned sound system and near-perfect acoustics makes the Shoe an industry fave, as well, so you never know who might be sitting next to you. If you like music, don't pass this one up! |

Century Room |
|
(Nightlife - Bars) |

580 King St W, Toronto M5V 1M1 • 416-203-2226 • 647-477-3163
|
|
Distance:
~1.415 km * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. What might have been cold and hard – décor comprised of stone, brick metal and wood – is transformed into something softer, sleek and contemporary here, with the addition of pink: pink lights here, a Barbie-pink wall there, pink glowing candles. The pink glow is flattering, to be sure (the occasional switch to vivid green light, not so much!). The crowd is mostly attractive 20- and 30-somethings in a party mood – of the relax-and-let-go-of-your-troubles sort. If you need a breather, check out the lovely courtyard. |

|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. Squirly's has an unusual sense of style, with red walls and a host of kitschy embellishments – finding them all will keep you entertained for hours. This, along with more than reasonable prices on local microbrews and comforting pub food make it a haven for starving artists and their ilk. Fun and laid-back. |

Roof Lounge |
|
(Nightlife - Bars) |
|
4 Avenue Rd, Park Hyatt Toronto, Toronto M5S 1T6 • 416-925-1234 • 416-924-5471
|
|
Distance:
~2.754 km * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. For decades now, the Roof Lounge has been favored by a well-educated, impeccably dressed and moneyed crowd including actors, business executives, writers and fashionable society types. The swanky space on the 17th floor has a fabulous view, along with elegant décor and professional staff, some of whom have been here nearly as long as the bar itself. Your drink of choice should be a dry martini or something similarly classic – this is NOT the place to order a Velvet Crush, or anything with Midori or Blue Curacao. |
