    Anina in Hayes Valley is such a fun spot! The drinks were really good, and the service was fast and efficient, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The vibe is lively and cute, perfect for hanging out and enjoying a great cocktail. Definitely try to go early though--it gets crowded quickly. Overall, a great place for good drinks and a fun atmosphere!

    Amazing service! Love the beer and the punch bowl so much! Patio is great - we had an amazing time playing cards

    Great vibes and great drinks! We came with a group of 7 and they have plenty of seating available. There's the inside and also an outdoor patio which has a lot of longer tables and even a taco stand. We got one of the punch bowls and I also got the seafoam spritz. The drink was really good! Nice and sparkling without being too sweet. I love the taste of elderflower and this was paired really well in the drink. Definitely a fun place to hang out!

    Updating to add that the second to last time I bought drinks here, I was overcharged by $10. Not sure what's up with bars in SF, but they really need to be more attentive and make sure they're entering numbers correctly. The last time I stopped in for drinks, I told the staff about the overcharge, but rather than taking the time to help me resolve the issue, they just said to contact them later. To be fair, I get it, it's always busy at the bar, and they have a business to run, but I feel like part of running a good business is paying attention to the small details and ensuring every patron leaves with a positive experience.

    Really like the vibes at Anina! Very centrally located on Hayes, this bar is always very lively. I've come here for both corporate events (they have a nice outdoor area) and with larger groups of friends. The punch bowl is a fun experience for sure, and the service is reasonable.

    Drinks were unfortunately not it, was the first time everyone left taking only a few sips of their drinks. All three went overboard with the sweetness level. They do have a lot of patio space, good for big groups -- was surprisingly quiet on a friday evening.

    Really cute cocktail bar in Hayes. We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a quick drink and we loved sitting in the outdoor patio, people watching on a gorgeous day. The cocktails were great and I loved Salad Days which reminded of a boozy green juice. Anina has a great, relaxed vibe perfect for a daytime drink and the location is super convenient on Hayes St.

    Stumbled upon Anina when I was out wondering around Hayes Street on Saturday! It had really good day vibes with the outdoor patio and open bar area. We came in to grab a drink and relax after exploring the area. The drinks were great and I was surprised that the mezcal margarita wasn't overpowering. The bartenders were great and friendly and provided helpful suggestions.

    Anina is a great happy hour spot in Hayes Valley. Their espresso martini's are bomb and hit the spot. Very laid back and casual atmosphere here, good happy hour prices!

    Pretty good place to chill with friends, but look at the before and after of my cocktail. Look how much ice is left in my drink. My god.

    Vernal Pools

    We stopped in Anina during our first time exploring Hayes Valley and found their large outdoor patio super inviting. Although they were super busy and only had two bartenders on staff, both bartenders were super friendly and attentive and provided great service. This place has a nice low key vibe and their reasonable prices for cocktails with good ingredients is a plus also. My partner ordered the Vernal Pools while I got the Fool's Gold. The Vernal Pools had a nice combination of flavors with the tequila, apple, ginger and chili coming together nicely, although the drink didn't have as much of a heat kick as we were expecting. The Fool's Gold was also nice and refreshing, with the whisky, turmeric, ginger, and Benedictine providing a nice light but also complex flavor.

    Had a lovely time at Anina for drinks with my friends. We went at around 6:30PM on a Saturday and it was filled ! We originally tried to sit outside because they have such a lovely outdoor area, but it was so crowded and the acoustics were so bad we couldn't even hear each other. Luckily there was space in their indoor section which was surprisingly much quieter. I got not one, but two Royal Scams, a fruity yet very balanced and acidic drink. Definitely one of the best drinks in the city ! Can't wait to go back, but probably on a less busy day.

    Clever cocktails and wonderful vibe in the heart of Hayes Valley. The patio is Greta but closes early (classic SF).

    Ask the Community - Anina

    Is it dog friendly during the day?

    I've seen dogs inside and outside, I even saw a pet parrot outside once. I'd say it's safe to bring your dog outside especially during the day!

    Can I bring my kid with me?

    No, the website says "ALL GUESTS MUST BE 21+ - NO EXCEPTIONS"

    Is it Dog friendly?

    Not sure, but presumably so. There was a bulldog there that probably belongs to either the owners or a staff person, and the dog was just lounging around inside.

    Are there food trucks every night? Any way to find out what kind of food and when it is there?

    The answer is NO! The management team at Anina book Pop-Ups 2 to 3 times per week generally between Wednesday thru Sunday as a courtesy to improve the overall experience. For the days that we don't offer these extra services, the answer is simple...…

Located in the legendary Mission District of San Francisco, this wine bar is a great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy small bites and yummy crafted cocktails. Their decor is very chic and I especially loved all of the hardware, glasses, tables, and benches. This place was styled by a great design artist. Even though the place was pretty packed and can be kind of noisy, I still felt very calm amongst all the healthy plants and loved the sophisticated 70s inspired glassware. Another great feature of this place is that you can buy most of the plants because they have some for sale so after a couple of cocktails, I was ready to redecorate my whole house with all the plants. I ordered a yummy Rose blend that was super crisp. Also enjoyed the Truffle Fungi! A delicious Shiitake and oyster mushrooms with parmesan and arugula on toasted bread. Their Spanish inspired potatoes were delicious with their dipping sauce. They have lots of gatherings there and DJ sets on the weekends. Lastly, a photographer would die to take pictures here. There is no bad shot as the design artist made sure every section of this cute wine bar was picture perfect. Loved all my photos and videos. I look forward to returning to this exquisite wine bar!

Charging the $10 event fee on discretion before the posted event start time seems... shady? illegal? My two friends got in a few minutes before with no cover. I was dealing with a bike lock while they went in. We were not there for the event but rather as volunteers from the weekly cleanup refuse crew in the Mission. You get perks as a thank-you for doing your part in making the City a cleaner place. We had just had a lovely time at another participating business (Beehive) and planned on Arcana being our final stop. Thankfully I was able to use the restroom without a fee, with my gear held up outside by the security team. While waiting in the restroom line, I told a staff member about all this, and the worker seemingly went up to the front to find out what's going on. The line took a few minutes, my friends also bumped into me, and I told them I'd likely wait for them outside the business post-restroom while they finished their wine. Already reported to the Mayor's Office. Maybe I'll add BBB. Should be honest and equitable! Four out of 200+ reviews by me have been one star, so I rarely share negativity. It's all rather unfortunate as other visits here went off without an issue. I warned a group of four about all this while I waited out front, and after talking to the front door folks, they left and thanked me for the advice. Please be careful if you visit here. . . .

The people were laughing, the drinks were flowing. It smelled really good, which we would later find out was from the food especially that Mac and cheese. We started off with different wines, some that Tom recommended based on what we told him we didn't like or did like. He apologized for our previous experience and was genuinely a nice guy. Honestly it's very admirable for a business owner to take feedback to heart and want to incorporate it. Plus he's a really cool guy when you get to know him. The staff was busy running around but still made time to come check on us. Our final verdict is we came on a bad day. This time we got the actual Waystone experience. We finally got to try the chicken bites with a creamy aioli, fries with yogurt sauce, and the star of the show was the Mac and cheese. Tik tok did live up to the hype and we will have to come back for one of their jazz nights. Be warned this place gets busy! But it's worth it.

The energy is vibrant without feeling overwhelming, and the noise level is just right. It's quiet enough to have a conversation and get lost in your own thoughts, but not so quiet that you feel awkward sitting in silence. Plus, the people watching was pretty entertaining, which definitely added to the experience. The three of us only tried two different wines. My friend ordered a glass of Masha, while my other friend and I both ordered the Los Chuchaquis. The verdict: Masha was really good. Good enough that a second glass was ordered! As for the Los Chuchaquis, I personally didn't love it. I found it a little too tannic and bitter for my taste. If you have a low tolerance for bitterness, this might not be the wine for you. That said, my friend, who ordered the same wine, absolutely loved it and thought it was delicious. So maybe I just ordered the wrong wine for my palate? ‍ Either way, the wine is only part of the experience. The energy here is fantastic, the bartender was welcoming and friendly, and the crowd was cheerful without being obnoxious, which I really appreciate. I'm not usually much of a night person, but I genuinely had a great time. It was one of those evenings that reminded me how nice it is to get out, enjoy good company, and simply soak in the atmosphere. I'm really glad I took my friends up on their offer to go out. Definitely a 5 star experience for the atmosphere, the energy, and the overall vibe. This seems to be such an interesting neighborhood. I'd love to come back and wander around, explore more, and discover what else this part of the city has to offer.
