Michael Bublé
Long before the arenas, the Grammy winner honed his craft on small stages like ours — the kind of room where a young performer learns to hold a crowd.
Our Story
Underground since 1997
A small room with a big history, in the heart of Toronto's downtown core.
Where legends come to play
Located in Toronto's downtown core, The Reservoir Lounge is where legends come to play and young unknowns first hone their chops. Amazing music, real drinks, great times — every single night.
Since opening our doors in 1997, we've stayed true to one idea: a room built around live music, where the band is close enough to touch and the night runs late. Swing, jazz, blues and soul, seven nights of personality, and a bar that knows how to keep up.
It's intimate by design — golden light, a low ceiling, and the kind of energy that turns a first-time visit into a standing reservation.

Legendary History
A few names that passed through
Prince
The story Toronto still tells: Prince stopping in for a quiet drink and a set, drawn by the music and the unmistakable speakeasy charm.
Over more than two decades, JUNO-nominated artists and undiscovered talent have shared the same stage here, night after night. That mix is the whole point.
