The bartender is in at The Drake Hotel. At least that’s what the new sign in the dining room says. The perpetually hip venue has just opened a cocktail bar in the corner of its dining room, and it boasts an extensive lineup of drinks, like the Hanky Panky (gin, sweet vermouth and Fernet Branca, $14) and the Boulevardier (bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth, $14).
Also on the menu is a wide selection of bourbon, tequila, wine and sake. Not sure what to drink? Not a problem. The Drake’s bartenders will also be available for tableside service, ready to advise guests on the perfect cocktail.
The Drake’s dining room cocktail bar is open from Thursday to Saturday, 6-11 p.m.
The Drake Hotel, 1150 Queen St. W., 416-531-9493
