More than most, <a href="https://www.thefoolspeakeasy.com/?DestinAsian">The Fool</a> lives up to its hidden-bar namesake—tucked behind an obscure door on a dark side street at the edge of downtown Phuket. No secret codeword required, just a willingness to explore your fate through cocktails. The Fool symbolizes new beginnings and openness—and every drink on the menu is paired with a tarot card. If you can’t choose, you can draw from the deck to decide your cocktail future.
The interior is a dramatic setting for an evening out — saturated in red, with soaring ceilings and focused architectural lighting. Small tables and hidden nooks are spread across two floors, but the place to be is at the bar, where the well-versed staff can guide you through your options. Execution, spirits, and barware are all top-notch, signaling a serious approach.  
The concoctions are created in a “lab” on the upper floors and show real research and creativity—pineapple rum, spiced rum, logan liqueur, clarified tomatoes, and holy basil syrup all collide in the Wheel of Fortune. The food menu is equally inventive, riffing on Asian classics with prawn wontons, pork buns, and grilled duck skewers.—<a href="https://destinasian.com/contributor/christopher-wise">Christopher Wise</a>
