"From the same team behind Fools and Horses and Dirty Pretty, Pink Rabbit is an ‘80s-tinged cocktail bar with outstanding, creative cocktails. Try the recent Internet Famous, which blends vodka with guava and oolong tea, shaken up with egg whites, or any of the other perfectly named cocktails here. Two shooters and two slushies are also on deck if you’re looking for something a little outside of the norm, or pay close attention to the asterisked drinks on the menu for a shooter version of that cocktail. The food menu is equally playful with pink pickle-topped deviled eggs, gorgonzola fondue fries, and ahi nachos." - Rebecca Roland
"Bartenders at this neon-lit, stylish cocktail lounge slide tequila cocktails and slushies across the brass counter, while 20- and 30-somethings snack on fried chicken buns stuffed with blue cheese apple slaw. Here, mezcal is infused with bell pepper, rum gets coconut-washed, and beverages come decked out in peacock colors with many-shaped ice. The wonton nachos topped with tobiko and spicy ah are a particular standout." - Thom Hilton
"This Pearl District bar, with its pink-and-blue-hued interior, often serves fun, fruity drinks year-round, but the summers call for slushies. Visits to Pink Rabbit may involve Aperol-guava numbers with a rum blend or a melange of tropical fruit with cinnamon and lime, though frozen drink variations change somewhat frequently. Whatever’s on the menu will be well-balanced without losing its sense of fun. The bar’s sibling across the river, Dirty Pretty, also offers slushies on its vibe-y back patio." - Rebecca Roland
"Bartenders at this neon-lit, stylish cocktail lounge slide tequila cocktails and slushies across the brass counter, while 20 and 30somethings dunk fried chicken in kimchi ranch. Here, brandy is infused with butternut squash, rum gets coconut-washed, and beverages come decked out in peacock colors with many-shaped ice. The wonton nachos, topped with pork curry and cheddar chili, are a particular standout." - Maya MacEvoy, Thom Hilton
"Like many of the drinks at the flashy, neon-coated cocktail bar, the Rosy Minded Fuzz is named for a Nationals song. It tastes as pretty as it looks: Floral Hendrick’s Gin, soda, egg whites, orgeat, grapefruit, rose water, and cream make for a fluffy, spritzy drink. It’s not on the menu currently, but bartenders still make it for its many fans." - Alex Frane
