Grossman's
Tavern - Toronto's Home of the Blues
This
tavern was originally open in 1948 by the Grossman's family,
it
was sold in 1975 to the Louie family,
and
since has been lovingly maintained and nurtured.
A
great number of intriguing patrons from every imaginable walk of life
has
come and gone through these doors.
Grossman's
has become a legend in its own right, and has since beomce known as
"Toronto's
Home of the Blues"
Some
of our Alumni includes: The Downchild Blues Band, KId Bastien & the
Happy Pals, Milton Acorn, Robert Priest, Rebecca Jenkins, Jeff Healey Band,
Allannah Myles, Amanda Marshall, Burton Cummings, Philip Sayce, and scores
of others...
We
are one of the few bars to introduce live music on Sunday nights,
as
well as the concept of "Jamming".
We
hold the city's record for having the longest surviving Sunday Night Jam,
and
have been doing it since November 1982,
18
years since the government allowed Sunday drinking!!!
So all
you aspiring musicians, bring your instruments and let's jam!!!
We
continue to be one of the few bars in the city to offer Live Entertainment,
7
days a week, all year long,
and
to set the record straight, we have never been up for sale.
Great
patrons, talented musicians and friendly staff have become part of the
family,
and
have, over the years,
enhanced
the eclectic atmosphere of Grossman's Tavern.
So
drop by, enjoy great music, our famous Grossman's all beef burger,
sip
a drink or two at our newly renovated 35 foot long bar.
To
those of you who have not dropped in by ages, we welcome you back to an
age where time still stands still...
