  Perfect location for touring Toronto. Walking distance to almost everything. The room was very simple with a private bathroom. Fell asleep listening to the Jazz from the bar downstairs. Great music! Great food! I would definitely stay here again.

  everybody I was with enjoyed their meals, I had the chicken wings with hot sauce (was actually spicy!) attentive servers and great entertainment from the rotation of performers. great experience, i’ll be back with others. BONUS; local talent preforming covers and some original pieces.

  This review is specifically for the bar. I haven't stayed at the hotel. The music in this venue is incredible. The seating is great and the atmosphere is casual. It's a great place to share a pint and some food while listening to some very talented people play jazz. Unfortunately I haven't noticed a spot for a dance floor before and the venue is not an intimate spot like some other places in Toronto. Great place either way!

  The Rex is an awesome venue if you like live Jazz music! We saw the George Lake Big Band on Saturday and although the place was packed, it didn't feel cramped. If anything it felt cozy and having the band just there in front of us was more than awesome! The beer selection was rather good with several options on tap but I have one issue there: they advertise their pints as 18oz which in Canada is actually illegal (a pint is regulated to be 20oz...). Otherwise, we had a great time at the Rex and with their amazing lineup you're bound to be able to see a type of jazz band you will enjoy!

  The Rex is all about the music. An amazing place to take in some live music in Toronto. They have tradition pub fare and some decent local beer on tap. The food and drink is secondary to the jams that go down here. Everyone is welcome here and there is no expectation to stay for a long time but expect to be there for a good time.
