Can't believe that I have never came here before until now.. Geez i've been missing out!! It is a bit far depending on where you live. Drake hotel is pretty lit 7 days a week, there is always something new happening at this place which keeps this place interesting and fun.
I came here on on the night they were having an indian curry battle! Got to try 5 different kinds of curry's from local restaurants around the city. I love these food battles considering that the food is all free for people to try and the food battles are always different. Heard they usually host these free food events on Monday evenings, which is pretty good considering its the beginning of the week and slower days. But depending on what sort of food it is, it can get quite busy. Luckily this past Monday was after the ice storm so weather wise many people didn't come due to poor weather which was better for crowds.
Drake Hotel has also very good food as well, no shortage of alcohol drinks. Lots of variety of cocktails and beers. I didn't get to experience too much of their food as I was mainly here for their food battle instead. Only thing I got to try was the Drake truffle fries which was very tasty. Cool, hipster place to come with friends. The place gets pretty busy and packed on a daily basis, best to come early and occupy a table especially during food battles.
