| - Reposado is a great place to kick back and enjoy some quality jazz and top-notch tequila and margaritas.
This bar gives off the vibe of being down to earth, yet endlessly cool. My friend's dad is the owner and can be usually seen at the front of the place, singing your (or at least my) favourite jazz tunes with the in-house band, The Reposadoists! If they're not on, then Piper's Laptop will be playing (which is quite literally my friend Piper's laptop, expect she's in Europe right now.)
The place is small and long, so can get cramped pretty easily, but there's a cozy patio in the back, that has low tables and chairs, and a tiki bar where you can chill as you patiently wait for an open seat. Whoever designed the inside definitely has good taste in my opinion, with large, beautiful and unique photographic prints on the exposed brick walls.
I'm not going to comment too much on the margaritas, as I'm definitely not a tequila aficionado, but I DO suggest the blood-orange margarita. I dig the vibe of the place and only wish I went there more often.
Perks: During my first visit, this past Valentine's Day, my friend's mom came around to every table distributing Hershey's Kisses to everyone. I also met Stefan Brogren. All you early 90s kids know who I'm talking about. That's right, "Snake" from Degrassi.
Amazing, I know. Other Toronto based actors and indie musicians can be seen here regularly. So what are you waiting for? Get over to Ossington, order yourself a margarita, request an Ella Fitzgerald song and wink at the cute bartender for me. Thanks!
