If you thought drinking wine was a serious affair, think again. As its name suggests, modern wine bar Fool is a decidedly un-serious drinking space – and it encourages its patrons to have a laugh at themselves too. The wine menu – or rather, magazine – offers over 300 different types of wine, ranging from affordable classics to rarer and unique wines. Of course, part of the drinking experience is all about pairing the wines with food, and the menu reflects that with handy wine recommendations beside each menu item. If you’re unsure, you can opt for the snack tasting ($33) or Feed Me ($98), and let the staff choose the best dishes to go with the wines you’re having that day.
Fool is also open during lunch time, serving up a two- and three-course set lunch ($48 and $58 respectively), with offerings like chicken liver eclairs ($16), buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches with sriracha mayo and dill pickles ($36), and soft shell crab po boys ($36). Feel free to order a glass of wine with your meal – don’t worry, we won’t tell.
