"Reservoir Lounge
Lower Level, 52 Wellington Street East, Toronto,
Week hours: Mon 9pm - 2am, Tue - Sat 8pm - 2am
Weekend hours: Sat 8 pm - 2am
Telephone: 416 955 0887
Legendary swing-jazz and blues bar with a beautiful piano on a small raised stage, that proves to be the centre piece of the action. The clientele is a mix of laid-back locals and international jazz lovers who have heard of the Reservoir's unique vibe. The décor is bare brick, carpet and stools, much like a swinging 50s piano bar; while the mood is as down-home as a New Orleans speakeasy. Celebrity regulars include Nick Nolte, Chas Palmetieri and Peter O'Toole; and keep cool ladies if Tom Jones pops in and performs impromptu as he has been known to do. Food runs from pizzas and oysters to Southern-style fries, while bourbon and beer are the tipples of choice. "

Forgot about the Maddy...it's been so long since I ventured anywhere but the patio. I think I'll have to reaquaint myself with the ground floor.

Well, if you feel comfortable with yourself - you can go alone
The Maddy has alot of students but generally age group is 20 to 35
Thursday nights is a bit of a 'meat market' - it gets tedious after a while
In any event, the Maddy's "piano bar" has been without a piano player for....at least....10 years.
Really, I thought they still have a piano player on the weekends when the place is packed
or are you thinking of Paupers Bar which is owned by the Maddy group also

I guess that explains why I haven't been down on the first floor ....in about....10 years. Thanks for clearing that up, you saved me a trip.
The Maddy is definitely not for everyone. The original post just reminded me that I hadn't been to the piano bar for a while.
I always liked the Senator...not a straight piano bar, but very nice.

If you enjoy piano music, I would love to give you a private performance. I've been playing the piano for the past 17 years. The ambience is good and the music would be pleasant to your ears.
I imagine the other musically inclined would also like the opportunity to display their hidden talents.
