Jue Let's Cabinet of Changes

A retro-reimagining of the classic Chinese divination process. Jue Let is a cocktail bar in San Antonio opened by Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, the three-time James Beard Award semifinalist and chef-owner behind Asian-Texas restaurant Best Quality Daughter. The namesake bar honors the Guangzhou-born Chinese chef who served as the Beard family’s private cook and pays homage to the unseen immigrant influences that shape American food culture.

2025 San Antonio Express-News, Chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin debuts Jue Let bar at Pearl with fortune-telling flair, November 21, 2025

"The Divine Intervention is a refreshing citrusy sip, but the drink itself is only half the fun. The beverage comes along with a Chinese I Ching coin which serves as a token for the fortune-telling machine, dubbed The Cabinet of Changes. The machine is a one-off designed in partnership with Austin-based hardware and software developer Alan Watts of Meow Wolf fame."

"Still, we’ll guess the bestseller will be the sprightly Divine Intervention. Each cocktail comes with an I-Ching coin that guests can drop in the Cabinet of Changes, an interactive fortune-telling machine built in collaboration with Meow Wolf artist Alan Watts."
