Last night, I popped around the corner to celebrate the opening of Small Talk, Ossington’s brand-new jazz bar and let me tell you, it’s gorgeous. The space was buzzing with besties, great energy, and some seriously chic Toronto style. Hi Jen & my new friend Ann!
It was nice to see friends, get dressed up, and sip something fancy. I took my new friend Ann Lambert on our first friend date ever. It’s kinda crazy how we met, my friend Ryan was in Dublin and saw her do karaoke and was like ‘OMG YOU ARE JUST LIKE CASIE STEWART YOU NEED TO MEET HER’. He introduced us on Instagram, and when we met IRL, we were instant friends!
The evening had everything you’d want from a night out: good music, great food, and a little sparkle of something new.
A Few Highlights – Small Talk Jazz, Ossington
- Menu by Afrim Pristine — luxe cheese & charcuterie boards, daily baguette sandwiches, and house-baked sourdough (so good).
- Signature cocktails — yes, the Pornstar Martini is on the list 🍸 and they even have the only Moët & Chandon vending machine in the city!
- Music vibes — live jazz, jazz-house, and a sultry soundtrack that makes you want to stay all night.
- Design — by Block Plan Studios, featuring deep maroon tones, custom murals, vintage details, and cozy acoustics that make it feel timeless.
- Monday nights — 50% off everything (food + drinks!) — Ossington finally has a reason to go out on a Monday.
Small Talk is open now at 110 Ossington Avenue, Thursday through Monday from 5 p.m. till late.
If you’re looking for a spot that’s equal parts chic, cozy, and vibey, this is it. Can’t wait to go back for another martini, great snacks, and live music.
Welcome to the block, Small Talk! 🥂
