Fainting Goat is exactly the type of place you’d expect to find on U Street, in that if you told someone 15 years ago that you’d be paying $20 for raw scallops down the street from Ben’s Chili Bowl, they’d have thought you were crazy.
You’ll find all the things you’d expect of a place like this: Dimly lit, well decorated space? Check. Men who perpetually set their beard trimmer to ‘smoky?’ Yep. A cocktail list full of ingredients you didn’t think could be liquified, like kumquat? Yessir. Tinder/Hinge/Ok Cupid/Farmers Only dates happening left and right? Ohhhh you betcha (well, maybe not the last one).
And that’s why you’d come here, for the vibes, not necessarily for what you’re going to eat. The food isn’t bad, but it isn’t the highlight of its resume. That would be the drinks. The first time we saw the drink menu, we proclaimed we would rack up too high of a tab and drink too much in far too short of a time-span. And you know what, that’s exactly what happened. Your plan here should be similar, and order a few appetizers (excuse me, ‘small plates’) to help soak those drinks up.
