    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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...… Read more

I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

I think in many ways, Blind Pig just fell a little flat. I would like to say that the service here was amazing. A bartender who sat with you to talk about the menu, the process, and your experience very passionately and intently.  However, I think that the bar program is a little unrefined. Every drink had 10,000 ingredients, and most of them did not work together. If the drink did work together, you just tasted nothing because everything blended together and you couldn't taste any special or fun ingredients.  Unfortunately, I don't think this spot is worth looking for.

Seeing that it was named one of the top 50 best bars in North American, we had to check it out! We came in a Thursday night in mid-April about 9:45 PM. They have security outside thar checks IDs & also manages the queue in case the bar gets too crowded. We had no issues getting in, but there were zero indoor seats available - both the bar & table seating. Thankfully, they have a really cozy & well-lit patio area. The waitress let us know that even the outdoor patio has table-side service, so we made ourselves comfortable on the outdoor bench & within seconds she had brought us waters & cocktail menus. Weather outside was really nice, so I'm glad we actually sat outside. Each cocktail is $20, which definitely is a little steep, but I think the creativity, quality, & prestige of being named a top 50 bar supports the price. Each part of the menu is organized by liquor ie whiskey, vodka, brandy, gin, etc. We tried 4 drinks total. I only took menu photos of the pages we ordered from but they have a lot more selections. We ordered the Kung Fu Pandan, Silky Street, Rice Rice Baby, & Tropical Gangsta. We had some favorites over others, but all were very well crafted! The drinks came out pretty quickly considering how busy it was. The only hiccup was our final drink took quite a while. Turns out the ticket machine malfunctioned & deleted orders put in & caused a back-up. The waitress was so apologetic & ended up comp-ing 2 drinks, which she definitely didn't have to but it speaks volumes to the high standards they hold themselves to & their customer service. Overall, highly highly recommend checking this place out for a fun night out or post-dinner treat! Glad we made the decision to stop in!
