"Despite opening in 2016, Horsies gives off the energy of a Mission fixture that existed before the rise (and devastating fall) of Ask Jeeves. Wine bottles cover the wall, string lights flicker overhead, vinyl spins, and it’s almost impossible to move around because it’s so small. Come to this horse-themed bar for a sense of community fueled by the regulars that fill pack this place every weekend, and the same two bartenders that run the whole operation daily. They only serve vermouth cocktails, wine, beer, and, for some reason, Underberg and hot dogs. The cocktails are great, and the occasional horse tchotchke makes the whole thing even better." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, patrick wong
