Toro Bar Brisbane is a great place to meet for pre and post dinner drinks, being Deer Duck Bistros' partner cocktail bar.
Toro is a low-lit, swanky saloon sanctuary off a well-trod, barren strip mall, filled with flickering candles, eclectic vintage furniture (Deer Duck style), and the cool hum of a well-curated playlist. If you choose your moment wisely, you may even stumble across some live jazz, and possibly teleport to an underground unsigned bar in Melbourne.
The couches beckon and before you even glance down at the menu, you can feel that the cocktails are going to be delicious. The list is filled with surprises (good ones), some cocktails even arrive in teapots, with shots to sweeten or sour.
And before you find yourself stranded on Milton Rd, with Deer Duck full beside you, and an empty, cocktail-ravaged stomach ready to pounce on the nearest chicken wing, order something from the wholesome tapas menu. Replete with homemade terrines, charcuterie and parfait, and a few more substantial plates.
