There are 2 legendary bars on Spadina Ave, yesterday's El Mocambo and Grossman's which is just down the street from the El Mo. Open since 1943, Grossman's bills itself as "Toronto's Home of the Blues" and is famous for its live music 7 days a week. A down and dirty bar of the old style it has atmosphere in spades! This mural is on its side wall along where the patio will be if it ever stops raining here!
this is an amazing bar where all of us from the nearby art college hung out in the late 60's early 70's. really wonderful memories - thanks for the memory jolt red pat. perfectly shot too

Y'all are just having TOO much fun up there! Great picture -- I would love to visit (your whole city, not just this nightclub ;>)
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about the local bars. I can't stay up late enough. These two bars look like fun. .
ReplyDeleteI love blues and at a time in my life would have loved to visit this bar.
