A LITTLE

SMALL TALK…

Nestled on Ossington Avenue, Small Talk is Toronto’s martini bar and modern jazz bar where timeless cool meets modern indulgence. Inspired by the smoky lounges of the 1950s, it’s an intimate, low-lit escape filled with smooth live jazz, crafted cocktails, and late-night charm.

Every detail—from signature mickeys to indulgent cheese-forward bites—celebrates the art of drinking with intent and conversation that flows as easily as the music.
