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. Celebrities such as Tom Jones, Jeff Healey and Matt Dusk have been known to drop by after their own shows and belt out a tune or two. On weekends, the suburban crowds descend 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 $5 Tuesday to Thursday after 9 p.m.; $7 Friday and Saturday, $10 after 9 p.m.
- Kitchen open past midnight on weekends
