The Reservoir Lounge

  • 52 Wellington St. E. (at Church St.) • View on map »
  • 416-955-0887
On weekdays, this club is a taste of the Big Easy in the Big Smoke. Regulars are music aficionados who appreciate the live swing, blues and jazz. Such celebrities as Tom Jones, Jeff Healey and Matt Dusk have dropped by after their own shows to belt out a tune or two. On weekends, the suburban crowd descends en masse. Limited seating means you’d better come early—and order dinner—if you want a table. The kitchen serves up salads ($6.75–$8), thin-crust pizzas ($14.50) and snacks that include crab cakes and oysters. But save your calories for the better-than-average cocktails. The divine Papa Mojito ($11) hits just the right minty note. Cover $7 Tuesday to Thursday after 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday before 9 p.m.; $10 Friday and Saturday.
  • Kitchen open past midnight on weekends
