It took very little convincing to get us through the doors of Fools and Horses — the name alone piqued our interest.
The Pearl District cocktail bar is where sophisticated meets rural. Despite being created by the same man who launched Pink Rabbit next door, Fools and Horses is the neon-lit watering hole’s atmospheric antithesis. Its sultry, mature vibe is the sum of its parts: dark walls, natural lighting, details alluding to Hawaiian ranching history, and a sprawling, backlit bar.
Bring your date, your bestie, or friends from work who appreciate fresh, seasonal flavors and a diverse range of cocktails, many of which showcase American whiskies. Try the Fools Gold and Direct Flight cocktails. Bright and refreshing, plus easy on the eyes.
You’ll also find small plates showcasing “frontier spirit” and paniolo culture. Local oysters ($1.50 each during happy hour), stuffed apricots, cheeses served with lilikoi butter, and cod lettuce wraps are on the menu, along with a build-your-own charcuterie board.
