Came here on a Saturday night for a bachelorette party. We weren't all that impressed.... They advertised that it was the destination for bachelorette parties.... however they also advertised a mechanical bull that they no longer have. We were going to book one of the bachelorette packages but the lady didn't call or e-mail us back until the day of. She ended up saying she would put our party on "the list" so we didn't have to pay a cover charge but it turned out there wasn't a cover charge anyway. The dance floor wasn't very big and was disgustingly sticky. The bar wasn't very crowded for a Saturday night, but the guys there were pretty creepy. A fight ended up breaking out and at least 5 people ended up getting arrested. After that, we lost our good mood and ended up just going back to the hotel. The only bright spot at that stop was it did seem like they had a large drink selection and the DJ was AWESOME! He played every song my friends and I requested - including Backstreet Boys and Enrique Iglesias!
Review Source:Toros is a fun place for groups. Â Â They have bowling on one side and bar with a mechanical bull. Â Â
Recenlty I went with a group after the Italian Festival - Their beer and food was cheaper than the festival. Â Â We bowled and the loser had to ride the bull. Â Â
It was hilarious. Â Â We had fun and those around had fun. Â Â It was all around a good time. Â I know it is much better later at night when the bachelor and bachelorette parties show up and the craziness ensues.
Ok, I know the mechanical bull makes it tempting, but here is my list of reasons why you should not bother with Toro (number five is a pretty graphic reason, please hide your kiddies' eyes):
1) As with any of the bars on the Levee, you have to pay for parking.
2) On top of the parking fee, there's a cover charge to get in.
3) The staff is kind of rude, especially the guys, making snide comments and shoving you out of the way if you're blocking their view of some girl riding the bull.
4) There are only two stalls in the women's bathroom -- not good when the place is packed.
5) The guys running the mechanical bull are perverts. Â When women take a ride, instead of making the bucking bronco buck (like they do for the guys), they make the bull shake and sputter so the poor ladies' butts are jiggling and their skirts are riding up higher than your grandpa's socks in the summertime. Â Not only that, they take turns controlling the bull...and I could literally see the lust in their eyes as they thrust the joystick forward and back...like it was a sick extension of...themselves...
6) The drinks? Meh. Â Although the prices are pretty typical for a bar like this.
7) No place to sit, unless you're on the patio.
Suit yourself, I guess, but this place gets a giant two thumbs down from me. Â I'll stick to my dive bars where I'll not be so blatantly harassed, thank you very much.
In my 37 years, I had never been on a mechanical bull, but that's all changed now, thanks to Toro On The Levee! Â The people were cheering and it was all in good fun!
There's no place to sit at Toro, not even at the bar, which I thought was a little strange. Â So, after the "Ride A Mechanical Bull" box was checked on our Bucket Lists, we went back to Star Lanes.
CHECK! Â Thanks Toro!
While I'm still not a huge fan of Toro, we did a St. Patty's Day/March Madness Celebration for our office staff down in the private room at Star Lanes (food provided by Toro). Â While the food prices and minimums are astronomical, the staff worked with us to get us a killer rental deal and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of all afternoon.
So while price/speediness may not be their forte during the lunch hour, if you pay to rent, they are spectacular.
Ah, Toro a distinguished member of the notorious bro-fecta found on the levee alongside the aptly named "Brothers" and the suicide inducing Arnie's. Toro is Arnie's light, while an experience at Arnie's means a life time of cold sores, Toro can be cleaned up with a few weeks of penicillin and an uncomfortable discussion with your M.D.
Toro is an odd night club because very few people are dancing. Instead the attention is drawn to the clubs namesake: the big mechanical bull in the center. This bull is a flagrant invitation for nip slips, up-skirt views, and legendary instances of camel toe all rolled up into a 2 minute bull ride. Girl after girl steps up and rides as the bros oogle on with wonderment hoping for that next instance of public nudity.
Occasionally a drunken fool of a man will try to ride the Toro, only to be booed by the bloodthirsty crowd. He is then immediately thrown in the lion pit, found to the left of the ladies room. Overall, far more tolerable than Arnies yet still nothing most tasteful individuals will wish to endure.
First time ever riding the Mechanical Bull! Â Fun, Fun! Â On a side note: Â The inside of my thighs were bruised for days - but it was worth it.
This is a fun spot to have a small group event. Â Maybe 30 or 40 people. Â Their appetizers were really, really good. Â
We mainly networked and played "find the imposter". Â I won $50 bucks for doing so - can't beat that - well you could - but I'll gloat anyway.
If you utter the words "Hey, man, I'm forty year old, overweight, and a bit drunk so take it easy on me" you may want to re-think what you're about to do.
But I did it. Â I climbed on top of a mechanical bull and went a minutes (seconds, really) on the kiddie speed. Â I was tossed off and everyone I was with had a good time and several of them took to the bull themselves. Â It's not nearly as hard as it looks (if you utter the above phrase and the guy goes easy on you). Â Go do it and have fun.
Toro is sorta tacked onto Star Lanes. Â The chick behind the bar could mix a decent cocktial and when I asked for a Manhattan she made my day with "What kind of whiskey?" Â When I said bourbon she outdid herself and said "What kind of bourbon?" Â Often times when I ask for a Manhattan in places like this I get a dead eyed stare.
A bull and bar. Â There wasn't much more to Toro.
