A playlist that sounds like a vinyl record of \u201crainforest ambiance\u201d got into a fight with a theremin. And the mixologists?

Each drink comes with a 10-minute origin story (involving a Himalayan yak farmer, probably) and a price tag that\u2019ll make your wallet file for divorce. Pro tip: If you see the word \u201cdeconstructed\u201d on the menu, run. You\u2019re about to pay $19 for a glass of ice and a lemon wedge.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What you order:<\/b> A classic Old Fashioned.<\/li>\n<li><b>What you get:<\/b> A mason jar of bourbon, a single drop of bitters, and a 45-second lecture on \u201cartisanal air ratios.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class='global-div-post-related-aib'><a href='\/news\/alamo-ranch-accident.html' class='post-related-aib'><div class='internal-div-post-related-aib'><span class='text-post-related-aib'>You may also be interested in:<\/span>&nbsp; <span class='post-title-aib'>Alamo ranch accident: did a runaway taco truck spark a goat uprising\u202f\u203d<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<h3>The Service: Masters of the Side-Eye<\/h3>\n<p>Ask for a straw at Fable, and the bartender will stare at you like you just insulted their ancestral cocktail shaker.
