The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar is a long-standing institution in Toronto’s entertainment landscape. Originally opened as The Rex Hotel in 1957, it transitioned into a dedicated jazz venue in the late 1980s. It’s known for its intimate setting and consistent programming of both established and emerging jazz, blues, and world music artists. The Rex operates seven nights a week, offering live music performances without a cover charge for many shows – though special events may differ. It has become a crucial space for musicians and a popular destination for local music enthusiasts, contributing significantly to Toronto's vibrant arts community. The venue maintains a relatively unchanged, classic bar atmosphere throughout its history.
