Fun, casual, mingling venue for 15-20

[vorpal]

Hi all,

I'm participating this year in a script writing challenge over the month of June, and as quite a few people in Toronto are also doing this, I'm trying to help our municipal liaison organize a small event halfway through the month where the locals can meet, hang out, live it up a little, etc.

I'm looking for a venue that would be willing to accommodate us (15-20 people, probably). It needs to be all ages, not particularly expensive, and fairly casual, i.e. we want to be able to mingle, read excerpts from our scripts, etc.

EDIT: We're not so much looking for dinner as we are a place with food and drinks available where we can mingle and have a good time. TTC accessible is a must, but downtown is not an absolute requirement.

The opening party is happening at Tequila Bookworm, and we don't want to impose on them again, but a location similar to that would be great.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Is this for a dinner, or is any food involved at all? Do you have a preference as to area, or any other requirements?

Food should be available, but we're not looking so much for dinner or even the requirement that everyone eat (we do expect, of course, that attendees will at the very least purchase drinks).

As for area, anywhere that is easily TTC accessible should be fine!
