What people say, in short
2 Cats is a King West bar that commenters recommend for budget-friendly drinks, with several pointing to happy hour and late-night specials as the main draw. One patron describes the crowd as older, mid-thirties and up, while another recalls a room that was mostly young people and older men with few women and little dancing. Views on the atmosphere are split, with one visitor saying it had the least appealing feel of any bar they have set foot in and another saying they loved it. Specials are also debated, as one person says the cheap deals are gone and another remembers even lower prices from a few years back.
