What’s the vibe? Hidden in a renovated three-storey building in Phuket Old Town, the Fool is a sleek, refined tarot-themed bar. Candlelit corners and elegant decor create a mysterious and intimate atmosphere, but the drinks scream fun – each one inspired by a tarot card. If you can’t decide what to drink, draw a card and let fate decide your tipple.
When to visit: Check the calendar: DJs and guest shifts from Asia’s top bars keep the vibe eclectic. This spot also serves surprisingly good pan-Asian small plates that pair well with the drinks.
What to drink: Fool – a black glass with copper interior holds a fizzy, floral elixir of gin, vodka, sparkling wine and carrot punch – light, mysterious and dangerously drinkable. Non-alcoholic cocktails are equally inventive, so friends who aren’t drinking can enjoy the full experience.
29 Chana Charoen Road, Phuket Old Town. 5pm-midnight.
