    The Drake Hotel

    I 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.

Though the weekend crowd has grown increasingly 905-heavy, weeknight clientele and diners still tend toward the Stober-era quasi-locals.

    This review is based on more than one visit and second and third chances have been used up. Though nicely renovated, The Drake is probably the most pretentious, wannabe artsy lounge in the thriving "Liberty Village" area. Service can be great IF you are European. Otherwise expect to be served last and go to the downstairs washroom while other "white" patrons are favoured.
