The Taurus has been hosting our event gatherings for the King Mango Strut Parade for years. They have large outdoor seating areas in the front, as well as in the back of the restaurant. A great place to sit at the bar and have a few drinks while watching the game, or dine with friends while being entertained by a live act.

Taurus is one of my favorite bars! They have a great selection of beers, spirits and wine. The bar area is nice and there is plenty of seating inside and outside. The food is delicious as well.

Walked in on a Friday Night stood at the bar for 10 minutes no one would service me! Got a table by myself and waited another 5 minutes. No one would service me. There were a total of 8 customers in bar and 5 people working there. I walked outside and down the street to Greenstreets and the bartender told me that Taurus ONLY SERVES REGULARS! Oh now I know! i will change my review if I ever get served when I walk in next time!

Great bar in the Grove with an old school feel but a little more dressed up. Great craft beer selection, full bar service, and some great food options from the kitchen next door.

If you’re a true local, Taurus Beer & Whisk(e)y is not a foreign name to you. Coconut Grove has been home to Taurus (at least different versions of it, this one is est. at 1969), since 1919. And through all the changes, one thing stands true, the people behind Taurus care about their customers. It’s not just serving a cocktail, it’s serving it with a bit of knowledge and education. One big change: Taurus adding Beer & Whisk(e)y house to their name.
And that’s whats being served at Taurus. Coconut Grove residents, known as Grovites, frequent Taurus as their neighborhood bar.
“This is our home away from home.” said one patron.
We had the opportunity to sit down with our dear friend, Felipe Ojeda (Bar Manager) who explained what made Taurus different.
“We have over 100 different whiskies from all around the world.” says Flip.
He also mentions that the vision for the bar were the small neighborhood bars all over New York City; a nice selection, a curated cocktail menu and some bites to keep you in your seat for an extended amount of time.
When you walk into Taurus, you get a “feel-at-home” vibe that is unlike any other in Coconut Grove. Lined up at the bar, are Grovites, some drinking whisky and others local beers curated by Felipe. He is also the creator of the cocktail menu which features classics as well as his own creations. We had an opportunity to taste the Peach Sour (Peach-infused Bourbon, Citrus and Simple Syrup), for this he uses dehydrated peaches from California, which are then infused into Old Forester. He lets this sit for three days. There are also other infusions for the folks that want to explore fresh cocktails. Cocktails are also served with a large ice cube as well.
They may not have a lot of space to collect thousands of bottles, but like Felipe says, “It’s not the amount of bottles, it’s the type of bottles.” Felipe compares the bar to a museum, where he curates the selection for his guests. He carries and seeks new and unique styles to keep the guests on their toes. “Hard-to-find and under appreciated is what I look for.”, he adds.
“As a true whisk(e)y house, we want to carry forgotten bottles.”
Join local Grovites 7 days a week at Coconut Grove’s best neighborhood bar.response / report this review
