Sometimes you wanna go
Where every Lala knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where every Lala knows your name

Rules & Info
We love regulars. If you wanted to be treated like one, just let staff know. We have a CWLS you can join.
We are a Lala-run bar. Be Lala friendly or find somewhere else to be.
/Toast isn't for ERP. We are a PG-13 space, primarily, with some mature themes that aren't sexually explicit.
Lurk, RP, don't RP, whatever's your jam. Open to beginners and experts. We're a smaller place where you can get started.
No harassment or hate speech. We are inclusive to more than just fictional races.
Doors are always open. Hide here for a quiet space away, even if we're not running the bar.
Mannequin downstairs is for trading. This is used for large trades and donations. You can ignore this if you'd like, but all proceed go towards the taproom / Popoto Patch zine / Popoto Patch community events.
Staff
Tirita Rita
A Woodsfolk Lalafell hailing from the continent of Tural with a mysteriously-obtained pair of Padjal horns, Tirita enjoys helping out! Her other duties as a healer can keep her busy, but she tries to make time for the taproom when she's available! She disapproves of her coworkers' habit of drinking from the bar's supply.
Luna Aequor
Opening up the doors of that tavern and keeping them open meant more to her than she realized it would. She loves building community and creating a space for everyone to feel welcome.

Everything on the menu is 10,000 gil each. Tipping always appreciated but never expected.
Buying out the bar is 1,500,000 gil.
If you're on a trial and can't trade, feel free to let us know, and we'll just RP a trade-less service.
Ale
Our ale, I'd Tap That, is brewed in-house, with light, piney and cacao notes. Easy on the palette - and middling enough in blend - to appease any audience who loves ale or can't figure out what they want.
Flaming Whisky Shot
A shot that packs a punch! A blend of our whisky, rum, spice, and lit aflame. Order one, a flight, or rounds on the house (just ask us about bulk costs).Want to play a round of Drunkrolls? Ask about our game that tests your constitution! It's a 25,000 gil buy-in. Winner takes 2/3 of the betting pool.
Drunkrolls - 25k gil
Take the flaming whisky shot and see if you can handle the drink! It's 25,000 gil to enter. Winner takes 2/3 of the betting pool. Be the highest roller after each round, and you win the prize and Luna's respect.It's a game of luck against your constitution and our punchy whisky!
When Luna instructs your character, take your flaming whisky shot and roll
/random. (You can also add some flavor text in RP, if you're comfortable.)Whoever's roll is lowest is out. Any
0or1is an automatic crit, and you are a drunken lightweight the rest of the night. We may boo you for fun.Each subsequent roll will get harder than the last, so look out for Luna's instructions.
Whisky Bourbon
Just want whisky straight or on the rocks? Ours can be a great addition to any cocktail or on its own. Old Bastard is a bourbon whisky made from mashed millioncorn with a slightly sour yet smoky flavor profile.
Whisky Sour
Need something that will make you pucker just a little? Try our whisky sour! We combine our in-house whisky, Old Bastard, with Sun Lemon, muddled sugars, and topped with an egg-white foam for a creamy texture.
Old Fashioned
This drink begins with muddled sugars and local herbs that burst with aromatics. Our house-distilled bourbon whisky, Old Bastard, is then added with additional infusion of oils from the rind of an imported, La Noscean orange.
Qiqirn Firewater
A foul brew that is made by tossing various items found in the wild (both live and dead) into a barrel of water and letting the concoction ferment for a sennight under the warm sun. Look, we offer it for those who want it, but don't judge us, okay?
Gob-Stopper
Got a gobbie you want to put in their place? Maybe you just want to show them a dizzying time. The gob-stopper is for you! This imported gin and sweet vermouth combo will light you up with a bite of flavor and heavy hand.
Saltseer
A tequila- and lime-forward cocktail (both delicious La Noscean imports) with a rim lined in lime juice and coarse sea salt for the proper bite to your drink. Topped with fizzy lemonade, the drink offers a fizzy top that reflects back the foamy ripples and waves of the La Noscean coast.
Wildwoods
Designed around the natural green of Gridania's own Nophica's Absynthe, Wildwoods is a warm and woodsy welcome to the neighborhood. Shaken together is absynthe, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and a dry white vermouth. Order this if a strong punch isn't your style, but you want a drink with personality. Garnished with a sprig of lavender and rosemary, and served over aetherically imbued ice that won't water down.
Mage Bomb
This aetheric-imbued cocktail comes blended with ice, with wisps of its icy chill swirling above the glass. The drink itself glows blue and lavender. Its fruitiness masks the imported vodka, and it's often preferred to folks who want to imbibe but might be lighter-weighted. Luna will put on a show as she makes it, though.
What else is on the shelf?
Thorn to be Wild Gin
Ishgard might be our favorite trade for gin, and this batch in particular is why. When one thinks of gin, one might think of a slight floral yet peppery quality. Rather than be overbearing, however, this gin provides a smooth, soft, and warm experience blending notes of cardamom, rose, and orange.
Popoto Vodka
Rich, creamy, and earthy. Everything you'd expect from a vodka made from popoto! This full-bodied vodka comes straight from Ul'dah. Order it straight off the shelf or in a cocktail. You won't regret it.
Reds, Whites, Rosés, & Champagnes
Let us know your preference, and we'll happily oblige with a small selection of imports of wines and champagnes to suit the range of most customers.
Sea-Brined Scotch
This Limsa-imported scotch packs a punch of saltiness that pairs wonderfully with lip-puckering cocktails. While in Gridania do you long for the shores? Ask us to make something with this or serve it straight. Its peaty and salty notes will make you long for the sand between your toes.
Stingbrew
A potent liquor created through the fermentation of hornet carcasses. Great for having straight or asking us to mix into a cocktail for a potent sting. Buyer beware: If you're allergic to hornets, you consume at your own risk.
Lime-Pepper Tequila
What can we say? La Noscea knows good tequila. Just off the coast of Costa del Sol is a distillery that focuses on aetheric notes that always callback to their home. The bouquet is citric - oranges and limes together - and its finish is peppery but not overwhelmingly so.
Nophica's Absynthe
Primary ingredient is its finest: the wormwood. This absynthe is produced right here in Gridania and is reminiscent of everything wonderful of the shroud. Blooms with the aroma of anise and wormwood, an earthy and floral complex flavor that's crisp and fresh on the tongue.
When you entered the taproom, the coin pressed into your palm wasn't gil to trade for drink. Instead, it was the coin of the Network and its associates--the emblematic token that granted you access to comingle with hunters, allies, enemies, and bounty targets alike.Luna sees the coin, and notes the way it glints in the dim light that it is indeed not forged. She offers you at seat at the bar with a certain familiarity not even bestowed upon her night regulars. A privilege you wouldn't take for granted, would you?
Entry is 15,000 gil. This covers the cost of drinks and play/service during monthly sessions. (If you are a trial character, just let us know. We don't want to gatekeep.)
Luna will GM these events as the bartender. Please see the Discord for rules of play.
This is a morally gray dive bar. Open to immersive roleplay with neighbors, polite citizenry, and criminals.
RP bar fights and conflict are welcomed. Please
/tellstaff if something is amiss OoC, though./Toast isn't for ERP. Keep it PG-13/adult themes for violence, profanity, sexual innuendo as humor, but nothing sexually explicit.
Unlike our regular openings, these events are strictly for roleplay, not for lurking. Open to beginners and experts. We're a smaller place where you can get started.
