Casa Loma is kind of a tourist trap. I love walking along Queen West, anywhere from John to Gladstone, which is a long walk, but full of great shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. In terms of bars, I love the Drake and the Gladstone. There are some great spots along Ossington too, between Queen and College, and I particularly love Pizzeria Libretto, which has a great atmosphere and a great blend of Ontario and Italian ingredients. There are lots of cheap little spots around Kensington Market, which is really fun to walk around... It can be a great city, you just need to know where to look.
