don't care if you hate it or love it, you will talk about the Drake in a decade; you will remember it in your drool-and-forget era. Like no other bar, the Drake elicits visceral responses from Torontonians. Though the weekend crowd has grown increasingly 905-heavy, weeknight clientele and diners still tend toward the Stober-era quasi-locals. With one of the best roof-top patios in the city, and an underground space that houses avant/indie nights and acts, the Drake is versatile, imposing, and influential.
