Town Tavern

The Town Tavern was located in the McDonald & Willson Building at 16 Queen Street E, which was built in 1909 and was designed by architect John Francis Brown (1866–1942).^[1]

Owned by Sam Berger, the Town Tavern was one of Toronto's busiest jazz clubs throughout the 1950s and 1960s. In July 1958, Oscar Peterson recorded a live album on the Verve label from the Tavern, featuring his then trio composed of Herb Ellis and Ray Brown. The building in which the Tavern operated has since been demolished.
