| - When you try to be everything, you don't end-up being much of anything. This Drink embodies this principle to a T!
I went in the afternoon around 1pm on a Saturday to give the cafe portion a shot and quickly discovered that it's simply too loud, lacking in warmth, and has seating that'll wish you didn't just buy a coffee, so you could leave and sit somewhere comfortable. The coffee was standard and the few treats on offer were equally mediocre. They have WIFI, but it's spotty. I came to study, but could barely hear myself think. I also witnessed two individuals struggling to maintain a conversation over all the noise, so not quite cafe atmosphere. This led me to believe that maybe it was more of a night spot...
When I came to check-out the space at night, the one staff member could barely handle the crowd, which tells me there's an issue with the space's management. I mean, I felt bad for the guy, who was clearly trying to do his best, but was all but set-up to fail. The kegs were also not "working" or empty, so we couldn't order draft.
The seats are metal stools and uncomfortable. The space is also upstairs, so not accessible to those with mobility challenges. The washrooms are fine.
Needless to say, The Drink needs to refocus itself or it'll fail. The concept is fun and with potential, but its executions is subpar.
