The Taurus knows how to throw a party
One of the best events this past weekend was the reopening of The Taurus bar and grill (3540 Main Highway). So many friends and neighbors were there for the opening reception, that it was such a comfortable place just because of that.
The staff was very efficent and hundreds ate and drank as guests of Salvatore Catania and his crew. There were delicious hamburger sliders and pizza and the drinks flowed on the house.
The bars were outside and inside the original 1919 structure. A live band played as you entered and people danced all afternoon.

John Lawrence, Antoinette Baldwin and Bruce Wilson (co-owner of the original Taurus), show off one of the original signs.
Here's a birthday party happening beside the fireplace inside the bar. There was even a tribute to Butch, a long-time favorite bartender.
