The One Caviar Bar is Toronto's first caviar and cocktail bar, a Yorkville corner room where you can do a $40 caviar tasting with a martini and catch live jazz with no cover. It is a lounge, not a club, and it is very good at being exactly that. Details below.
The sceneThe room is intimate and polished: warm lighting, stylish decor, a bar built for lingering. Nights move at conversation pace, drinks are made properly, and when the jazz is on (a live trio, no cover) the whole place locks into that low-key Yorkville groove. Guests keep praising the same three things in reviews: the warmth of the room, the bartenders, and the way the live music lifts the night without taking it over.
It opened in early 2025 as the city's first dedicated caviar-plus-cocktails concept, and that is still the hook: nobody else in Toronto is doing this as the whole menu. Compared to the big Yorkville scene spots like STK or the hotel bars, this is quieter, more date than table-flex. Think of it as the European caviar-bar format dropped onto Yonge and Yorkville, small plates of sturgeon and champagne instead of bottle parades.
Quick factsThursday through Saturday the bar runs until midnight and that is when to come. Friday is the anchor: live jazz from 8 to 10pm, with the Kyle Pogline Trio as the house act, and jazz programming pops up on other nights through the week too, all with no cover. The 8pm set is the sweet spot, so book for 7:30, settle in with a first cocktail before the music starts, and let the night run from there. Sunday to Wednesday it winds down at 11pm and plays much quieter.

850 Yonge St, which is the same building as 1 Yorkville Ave, Unit 108, right at the corner of Yonge and Yorkville Avenue. It is two minutes from Bloor-Yonge station on the edge of Yorkville proper. Street level, corner exposure, easy to spot once you are at the intersection.
An intimate cocktail-bar footprint, not a big lounge: bar seating, tables, warm gold lighting and deliberately elegant styling. Reviewers consistently describe it as stylish and warm rather than stiff. The bar itself is where the personality lives, the bartenders are part of the show. When the jazz trio sets up, the music fills the room without needing a stage production.
Yorkville regulars, date nights, small celebration tables and after-dinner drinkers from the neighbourhood's restaurant row. The crowd skews polished mid-20s to 40s and up, more champagne-curious than club-bound. It draws people who want a night that sounds fancy but actually costs less than it looks, since the entry-level caviar and a cocktail lands cheaper than most Yorkville dinner mains.
The concept delivers. Imperial Crystal caviar in three sizes, 10g for $40, 30g for $120, 50g for $200, so you can try the whole point of the place for the price of two cocktails. Live jazz with no cover. A real trio on Fridays 8-10pm, and guests call it the thing that makes the night. The service gets named. Reviews repeatedly single out friendly, attentive bartenders. The menu goes past fish eggs. Oysters, calamari, crab and a caviar-topped cheesecake if you are committing to the bit.
This is a lounge, not a nightclub. Midnight close on the late nights, no dance floor, no DJ. It is small. Friday jazz fills the room, so walking in at 8:15 without a booking is a gamble. Caviar math climbs fast past the $40 entry tier. There is a membership program ($100 for 30 percent off and perks) that only makes sense if you will actually be back.
Reserve ahead for Friday, aim for 7:30 to beat the jazz crowd. Start with the 10g caviar service and a martini before deciding how deep you want to go. Sit at the bar if it is two of you, the bartenders make the night. If you are doing a birthday, this is the pregame-with-class move: caviar and jazz here, then down Yonge to the party. Regulars should do the math on the membership card, 30 percent off pays for itself in two visits.
Live jazz is the program: local players, trio format, Fridays 8-10pm as the flagship with sets appearing other nights through the week, and never a cover for it. Outside the live sets it is lounge and jazz playlists at talking volume. Nobody is building to a drop here; the music is furniture in the best way.
Polished Yorkville casual. Nobody posts a dress code, but the room is stylish and people show up looking like it: blazers, dresses, proper shoes. You will not get turned away in clean streetwear, you will just feel underdressed next to the champagne table.
No cover, ever, including live jazz nights, which is quietly one of the best free-entertainment deals in Yorkville. The real cost of entry is the menu. Play it smart: book a table for Friday, order the entry-tier caviar and one good cocktail, and you have done the whole experience for well under a hundred a head.
19+ to drink and the room runs as a bar; bring ID if you are anywhere near the line. It is a civilized crowd, nobody is scanning at a rope.
No bottle service in the club sense, but reservations are the move and easy: book online or call 416-923-8886. For groups or a birthday, reserve a table in advance, especially Thursday to Saturday, and mention the occasion, members get a free birthday cocktail as one of the perks.
Do caviar and jazz here, then get on the list for wherever you land after.
