Horsies Market & Saloon

"Most people walk right past this tiny bar on 19th Street without knowing it’s even there. But if you’re lucky enough to snag one of the few spots at the bar, you’re in for a treat. The drinks are simple enough — wine, beer, and vermouth cocktails — but the horse-themed decor is scattered everywhere throughout the bar, from tiny trinkets on shelves to wall art to make you feel like you’re at your imaginary grandmother’s house." - Lena Park, Garrett Schlichte

"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 that’s thanks to the regulars that fill this space on the weekend, and the same two bartenders that run the whole operation. 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.

"Horsies is a tiny horse-themed bar in the Mission that serves vermouth cocktails, beer, wine, and, for some reason, hot dogs. The space is covered in wine bottles, string lights, and the occasional horse tchotchke that makes us think that maybe that horse girl in high school had the right idea after all. There’s about space for 10 people inside, and there’s some overflow seating outside. But the charm comes from sitting indoors, where you can admire the horse-themed decor while getting cozy with your friends (or a date). photo credit: Brit Finnegan photo credit: Brit Finnegan photo credit: Brit Finnegan" - Ricky Rodriguez
