The Bar/Lounge at The Drake Hotel

"These days, the Drake is known more for its performance-art installations and bar scene than as a place to stay—you'd never know it was a hotel by looking at it—and lines to get in can get ugly on Friday and Saturday nights"

"Yoga classes are held on the rooftop, and there's a super-trendy lounge that serves food grown in the hotel's garden"

"The attached bar and band room is one of Toronto's finest venues for live music, and in summer the Sky Yard rooftop patio goes off to DJ beats and icy buckets of Coronas"

"Downstairs, a more raucous party atmosphere for musicians and entertainers while upstairs, in the patio lounge, the party continues al fresco"

"The Corner Café, a restaurant and a raw bar round out the attractions"
