Taurus
Grand opening July 4th, 6pm, 3540 Main Hwy, Coconut Grove;
305.444.7949
It's a great day when a place can be restored to its former
glory, from ancient ruins, to East St. Louis...just you
wait! For a joint back in force, hit Taurus.
A cottage steadfastly functioning as a beloved
eatery/watering hole in one form or another since 1926,
Taurus closed in 2002 due to a nearby condo development, but
was preserved, and is re-emerging this weekend as a sturdy
tavern/burger joint with loads of the original wares and a
feel so old-timey, people'll blessedly confuse your capris
for knickers. The cottage is cleaned up but has the original
working fireplace, hardwood floors, a row of the original
thick pine tables, little bronze plaques with names of the
regulars who used to drink there in decades past, and a
saddle at the bar, 'cause apparently one of the old regulars
was a retired and depressed Secretariat. Drink and grub's
pleasantly straightforward, presented on a chalkboard w/
daily variations on their two staples: chicken wings and a
10-oz USDA Prime burger rolled with spices the chef daren't
mention, then char-grilled, slapped with your choice of
cheese, and flanked by truffle oil fries; the bar's full of
liquor, and gets a US-only wine list and bottled brews
including PA's Yuengling, Saranac from Upstate New York, and
Brooklyn Lager, plus a slew of imports like Guinness,
Pilsner Urquell, and Newcastle, whose nutty notes will rival
yours if you get too gallopy on that saddle.
Tunes'll be mostly rock & roll and blues, with the eventual
booking of live acts, especially during the 1/2-price
drinks, 4-7pm Friday happy hour -- get there for the whole
thing, and you'll become a ruin no one can restore.
