Punchy flavours awake the senses at this relaxed evening spot.
Part bar, part diner, part homey neighbourhood hangout, Bar Tobalá slings bold cocktails and tasty Mexican morsels for residents and visitors of Pascoe Vale South, Melbourne.
Husband and wife duo, Frankie and Anthony are front and centre of this friendly establishment, welcoming you in with the promise of good hospitality and creative cocktails, and keeping you there with delicious, share-friendly dishes and good vibes.
The convivial atmosphere is echoed in the décor, warm timber and lush colours shutting out the daily hustle of busy Melville Road. Seating is cosy and casual, with a mix of booths and tables. The walls are adorned with art from Mexican artists, presented in a way that is eclectic and appealing, and the whole look is tied together with warm, intimate lighting.
Over the black- and pink-tiled bar where Anthony plies bar-goers with drinks, three of Fat Shack Vintage’s Chapman Glass Pendant Lights hang, adding a vintage counterpoint to the bright tropical surroundings.
Behind the bar, the simplicity of the Brooklyn Wall Lamp shines against the leafy wallpaper backdrop, offering a diffuse light and sophisticated minimalism to balance the kitschy décor.
Over the seating areas, bathing patrons in their ambient, opalescent glow, is the Orbital Pendant Light. The Orbital’s mid-century styling is the perfect match for the retro-adjacent design of Bar Tobalá, which has a lived-in feel that feels authentic, rather than contrived.
