Down the Line Launch Party - TIFF 2013 @ Drake Hotel Lounge

Forget plagiarizing a press pass, pulling strings to get guest-list and definitely leave your tuxedo at home; our TIFF launch party is a massive one-night experience free of clipboards and +1s. Meet us at Drake @9PM on Sept. 5th for our annual building-wide bash. Whether you choose to arrive dressed as a 70s London rocker or a mod, walk the black carpet as we kick off our Festival festivities. Sponsored by Budweiser Crown, Stella Artois, Beefeater 24 and Jameson- get ready for an interactive Drake party like no other.

You'll be heading down the road and Down the Line as we pay homage to all things rock and mod, gritty over glam, vintage underground music scenes and more here in the west end. Back by popular demand, head upstairs to Drake's Room 222, which will be transformed into a tattoo parlour providing free tattoos to help get further into character (if you dare). We mean it: get inked in the moment; a rocker impulse if ever there was one. Amidst all the activity, Keys N Krates take to the stage in the Drake Lounge for a very special performance before a secret DJ set from a critically acclaimed producer begins Underground. Drake will reveal its full launch party line-up as TIFF approaches; an announcement you won't want to miss.

The Budweiser team will be on hand for you to sample the malt which will be made on site, a key ingredient of musicians' beverage of choice (beer!) and Toronto-based Brazilian artist Baby Steinberg presents her project “Silence Film”, a series of wearable artworks and elaborate gowns made from knitting and crocheting together era-appropriate VHS tapes film. You’ll surely be hearing London Calling.

Drake Hotel Lounge Info

The Drake Hotel Lounge signature room re-envisions a bygone era, the Mid Century Lounge experience. Here your favourite songs blend with new music to compliment classic cocktailing, best enjoyed with friends. Take in a live music performance, an inspired DJ, or set the mood with food. Overlooking Queen Street West, the Drake Hotel Lounge is a destination all of its own.

New additions include leather booths and banquettes, artist-commissioned mica chandeliers, brass bar tops and two lush murals by Joe Becker, that blend classic painting and contemporary influences with stunning results. We invite you to unwind after work, relax before dinner or 'dress the part' for an evening out that stretches into the wee hours inside the Drake Hotel Lounge. Share some tantalizing appetizers and sip on a seven hour martini with old friends or new lovers. You'll be glad you stopped by.

DRAKE SKY YARD:

Whether roasting marshmallows in the snow or sun tanning with a Drake Mojito in hand, our celebrated, rooftop patio is a must-see. Head upstairs to stargaze, enjoy a meal with friends and spend some quality time in the open air. The Drake Outdoors is a smoker-friendly, climate-defiant, all-season space complete with its own satellite cocktail bar.
