In the soul of the city (Kensington Market), there’s a little bar called Poetry Jazz Café. It’s a lively space decorated with vintage decor and tributes to the Jazz Greats like Miles Davis.

Open from Wednesday to Sunday, Poetry Jazz Café hosts up and coming Jazz musicians and DJs. During the warmer months, patrons can enjoy the relaxing courtyard patio while sipping on signature cocktails. Poetically named, the Spanish Fly, Cocoa Cure, and The Miles are must-try cocktails.

Inspired by the film ‘The Commitments,’ Poetry Jazz Café lives by the motto “Define yourself before critics do.”
