My pal and I wanted to meet up on Thursday night, but didn't want to go somewhere too far from home. It was my first time at DNF, but it was like the fifth time for my pal.
We got in around 9:30 to the sounds of live music - the guy was pretty good at singing a variety of covers. It's a little inconvenient to get to by TTC, but if you're driving, there's a very small lot in the back of the restaurant and some parking spots on Avenue Road (Green P). I noticed a patio; I will have to check this place out again in the summer after (gross) winter.
Drinks - Drums N Flats has both a bar and a dining area. Their drinks menu is extensive and they have daily drink specials. I'm on antibiotics so I wasn't listening to the deal of the day on Thursday night, but it sounded like a good one.
Food - We ordered a pizza initially. My pal and I were chatting so we didn't notice the amount of time it was taking. Luckily our server did and she offered an appetizer on the house for the 'inconvenience' (good service). The pizza came soon after; it was a-okay. Our server came often to see how we were doing and providing us with refills.
Drums N Flats isn't too far from home so I will definitely be back for a casual outing with friends who live in my neighborhood.
Good for: drinks, live music, late eats
