Anyone have any details on the opening? I can't seem to find a date or anything anywhere.
Podunkparte I'm gonna swing by after work tonight, I wonder if it's gonna be a **** show
The "Grand Opening" is on the 30th. I was talking to Bonney and Ian tonight about the tap list for that day....it's going to be ****ing sick. Be there.
Now that's what I was hoping to find today was going to be. Thanks for the info. I'll plan on it. Any specifics?
YesAssuming it's the 'woo-tang' kettle sour.
I really enjoy Toronado and hope it stays in business. They have really wonderful food, a great staff (much more attentive than Brouwers), and their tap list is always pretty killer. The one negative I think is the location. Parking around it is an absolute *****.
Toro Seattle is clean and spacious. Therefore, it is a fair departure from the other locations.I have to wonder if the Toronado name is what did them in. You come to expect things out of a Toronado bar, and from the sounds of it, it was a fair departure from what the SF and SD locations offer.
Toro SD is clean and spacious too. I think SF is the only one that everyone can agree is a lilacflowers.Toro Seattle is clean and spacious. Therefore, it is a fair departure from the other locations.
Having been to all 3, and if all (taplist) things were equal, I would probably frequent the Seattle location the most.
Oh I definitely agree, which is why I think the Toronado name gives it an unfair/impossible comparison that it might not be able to live up to. I'm not saying the Seattle location is worse, just different.What else needs to be equal? WA has different distribution, so that's an unfair/impossible comparison with SD and SF.
Can't control what is distributed in their state. As much as I love Seattle as a city, it isn't SD or SF in regards to beer. I would also disagree calling SD spacious.Toro SD is clean and spacious too. I think SF is the only one that everyone can agree is a lilacflowers.
If all things were equal, Seattle probably wouldn't have any trouble right now. That's an inane hypothetical.

I think the crew did an awesome job with Toro Seattle and hope it sticks around.
No, they can't control what's distributed in the state but it's a little strange that Holy Mountain and Fremont aren't mainstays on the taplist: http://www.toronadoseattle.com/beers/index.html
At least at the moment (and when I visited previously), Pine Box's tap list is quite a bit better: http://www.pineboxbar.com/
I do have to give them props on being the one Toronado to actually update their website with current tap lists though.
Also, SD recently expanded and is much easier to find space now (not that it was that difficult before other than at hyped events).
One of the bartenders at Holy Mountain also works at Pine Box, so there's that.
Also, no Pliny at Toronado is very sad
Boneyard helps
Cable Car this Saturday at noon. While I'm in Bend.
Oh well.
Saw that. I'm not sure when I'm heading down to Tillamook so I may stop in for a tick beforehand.
