"I hate lines!!\n\nWalking along Queen West of Ossington, seems like most of the bars/clubs have a line.. and Drake Hotel's line just looked unbearable.\n\nThen we passed by The Beaconsfield with no line and the place seemed to be hopping!\n\nThe music here was loud... but just have this calming effect... like a background music.\n\nWe even able to get a table right by the bar, great place for people watching.\n\nUsual beer selections, nothing too fancy here. Stella $7.50 tax in for a pint, that's what we settled on.\n\nCrowd here seems to be friendly and a little older...and most people were coming in for a quick drink and then just moved on.\n\nGreat stop for our night of bar crawling!"^^ . .
