Town Tavern

Town Tavern

The Town Tavern was a famous jazz club in Toronto, Canada, from the 1950s through to the late 1970s. The art deco building hosted an afterhours jazz club with rehearsal bands for a while before it was bought and turned into a workout club, and then resold again. It was a key part of the 1950s Toronto jazz scene.

One incident occurred when Toronto gambling mobster Max Bluestein was beaten outside the club by Hamilton mobster Johnny Papalia.

The building is not marked for historical purposes yet, unlike the spot where the Colonial Tavern existed.
