The recently renovated, three-level club includes a performance and dining area, wine bar, private event space and expansive rooftop patio. The open-concept design ensures guests on the second floor balcony have a perfect view of the stage, which features a magnificent Red Pop Steinway piano (the only one of its' kind in Canada). The warm and inviting space serves as an intimate setting for authentic, live jazz performances by some of the world's finest jazz musicians, and will focus on promoting Toronto's own Jazz artists.

Music lovers looking for a downtown haunt that hits all the right notes should look no further than Jazz Bistro. The fine-dining lounge and jazz venue is known to attract top talent from across the city, country and even the world. Not only is it the place to grab a pre- or post-theatre meal (Mirvish Theatre is conveniently located across the street), weekend brunch or a speciality cocktail, it’s also the spot to get schooled in all kinds of musical genres.
The space was once known as the Senator Steakhouse and the Top of the Senator Jazz House but sat dark for eight years. In 2013 Colin Hunter, a jazz aficionado, vocalist and owner of Sunwing Airlines and Vacations, brought new life to the three-storey building.
Jazz Bistro, located in the Yonge Dundas corridor, just steps from the Ed Mirvish Theatre, Massey Hall and the Elgin Winter Garden Theatre, is the perfect place to enjoy a pre-theatre meal or dinner, followed by an evening of live music. Jazz takes centre stage from 9 p.m. but early diners will enjoy music from the great American songbook played by resident pianist Eli Pasic. For Winterlicious, the menu options include sunchoke soup with parsley oil, bacon wrapped provimi veal tenderloin, and buckwheat cashew parfait.
