The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar use to be one of my favorite hang outs...
it's located on queen st. west... just west of University Ave.
Rivoli is another favorite of mine.. I took sushirama there when she visited...
A live venue nightclub hosting musicians and comics. A stylish pool hall upstairs. Out front, the best people-watching patio in the city.
It's also located on Queen street West...
Also...
The crooked Cue... use to be my hang out on the west side of Toronto... Located just west of the Royal York subway station... it may not be what your looking for... but it's a really nice place to relax and talk over a game of pool... okay I haven't been in 8 years tho... lol...
