    Such a delightful spot that I happened upon with a friend as we strolled through the mission. The space is light and airy. It has lovely feeling with the green shrubbery and hanging moss art. Order at the bar and pick a small bite to enjoy. The selection of wines is great and the bites are fresh and delectable.

    My friends booked the upstairs area for their one year anniversary. Service was excellent. They were on top of cleaning up and refilling the food items if needed while manning the bar (or should I say "womanning"?) and helped us take photos. Variety of drinks and an assortment of vegan/vegetarian food options to choose from including vegetarian flatbreads, potatoes, and beet salads. They even had a coat check where we could hang out jackets! Overall, definitely recommend booking for a private event.

    I absolutely love this spot! I've gone here 2x - once in the day after a yoga class in the area, and from that point on, I knew I loved the spot. I had a lil solo date and ordered the wine and food, and it was so good!! I love the plants and lighting in here. It was also my first time ordering apricot wine! The second time I went was at night. It felt very intimate, and this time I ordered the Earl Grey cocktails instead of wine. This drink was one of the best drinks I've ever had. I believe it had sake in it, which is why I wanted to try it, and it was delicious, I got a second drink! I heard they brought this drink back, so defs give it a try before it potentially leaves the menu again! Another plus is that it's right next to Lolinda, an Argentinean steakhouse, so it's a great spot to go right after grabbing drinks. This is one of my go to spots in SF. I would love to come back when they have a live DJ!

    The ambiance and service were great. The bites and wines I tried were pretty good. The overall experience was chill and I think it's a good place to hang by yourself or with a (small group of) friend(s).

    Arcana is so beautiful in the evening -- Such a vibe!! There was no cover + a cute photobooth outside (I believe $6/2 strips) that we didn't get to try. It was the first stop on our bar hopping list, and definitely set the tone for the night. Music was techno/experimental with a DJ on the floor, there's an upstairs area where people were chatting against the rails, and the bartenders were cool. Cocktails were pretty strong too, like nothing I've ever tasted before.

    Are you vivacious? Hot? Maybe a lil gay? A lover of wine, plants and finer things? Then Arcana is for you. First of all, an excellent selection of wines. The staff is knowledgeable and can guide you to the right glass to fit your palette. And they will let you sample a smidge before you commit to the pour. Also, Lina has mystique and is hot. Additionally, they have wine cocktails! I drank an earl grey sake thing and it was so good so I drank a lot of them until there were consequences. Also the security guy is really nice and listens to me when I get drunk and start freestyling (I have bars). Vibe can vary. There are always plants there, which we love, but the day time is super chill. You can grab a light bite (get the corn flatbread) and enjoy the natural lighting pouring in from the sky light. At night time, there's a DJ on weekends which of course leads to dancing which may lead to other shenanigans. You might see an ex, they might see you throwing that ass in a circle, who knows? Possibilities! Sometimes it's giving dancing, other times it's giving lounge. Check the DJ line up before you come. But do come. The only thing I would change would be for them to consider adding some loungey live music during the week for those more lowkey nights :)

    This place is a blast, perfect for a girls' night out or a date! I always enjoy starting with the orange and red wines--it sets the mood wonderfully. The staff could be a bit more welcoming or offer some suggestions.

    I wish I took more pictures of the inside! It was super busy on a Friday night 8PM. My friend & I got their $8 wine (which seems like a steal) & sat outside. Staff was kind, design inside was really cool & they also had a photo-booth. I would like to come back during the day & attend their dj events.

    We came by for a glass of wine before dinner nearby and loved the ambiance here! First, there's great natural light and greenery with plants all around. The high ceilings really adds to the airy and natural vibes and while there was a DJ that started around 7:30pm, it wasn't too loud to still chat with friends. I got a glass of orange wine which is my new obsessed and it was perfect for something light before dinner. Originally we weren't going to get food, but I was intrigued by the king trumpet mushrooms with whipped tahini and chili crisp and we ended up sharing that for a light app. Loved the mushrooms which were pretty cooked to be juicy and flavorful without being too salty. The whipped tahini was a great base and added a nice creaminess to the dish to round it out. I'll definitely be trying to recreate this at home!

    Blood Orange Spritz

    I have walked past so many times and have wanted to go in because the aesthetics and vibes of the bar looked so enticing. Inside, it is pretty dim but a good ambiance with decent seating and lots of greenery. Went in for happy hour with a friend, which is every day from 4 - 6 pm, where a few select wines are slightly cheaper when you get a glass. Blood Orange Spritz - I was looking for something more sweet in their cocktails and this one was perfect. It had a nice balance with the prosecco and the citrus flavor was rich with slight sourness. It was bubbly and easy to enjoy. A nice place to catch up with a friend for happy hour but a little more on the pricey side even during happy hour.

    Cool vibe with only a handful of small tables that make it feel quite spacious. The bartender was very friendly and took the time to talk to us about some of the beer. They had a Parisian saison from a brewery that incorporates a lot of winemaking influences, which is definitely a rare find. The cocktails were good too.

    Spring bling & blood orange spritz
    Tiffany P.

    Arcana is a cozy wine bar located in the Mission. We came on a Saturday, and it was pretty packed. We had to head upstairs since there weren't any seats available on the first floor. I got the spritz and my boyfriend ordered the Spring Bling. The drinks are pretty basic, but I liked the Spring Bling better. Overall, I love the vibes here and definitely want to come back for the wine flights and tasting!

    Always a lovely atmosphere! A natural wine spot (I acknowledge not everyone's favorite) but is definitely worth a visit and a detour to check out!

    happy hour wine

    Can I bring my baby?

    I think so, because they serve food, but I'd call them first. I would have brought my babies there if Arcana was around then. 💗

I was able to keep alive, except for a string of pearls, but anybody that deals with Plants knows how those can go. (It's user error if they die... it's no reflection on the plant or the store... I might even try again with one someday.) Anyhow, the plants I purchased there a couple of years ago are all still thriving and doing so much better than most of the other plants I have. I'm assuming they had a great base to start with and also amazing soil quality in terms of drainage and nutrition. They got so healthy and big that two of them took a tumble from the ceiling where they were hanging because they got so heavy. I think I'm going to have to take a visit to the store to find out what kind of magic they work and see if they'll give me any hints or tips and if I happen to end up with yet another new plant I won't regret it but I'll blame them when my partner gives me side eye after swearing that I'm only getting new plants by swapping cuttings with other crazy people like me. Including some pictures of my happy babies. The last photo, of course, is of the two that took a flight last night and are waiting for me to give them some new soil and possibly repot them.

Finally they add extra $0.75 or so for using card. It's not mentioned anywhere and I was like seriously? Till I see my bill they don't say anything. Apparently the prices marked are cash price. We turned around to check out this place after we saw the sign "you missed $8/dozen roses". Traffic sucks in this one lane zone so getting back to our path was a pain. Overall I would never go back to this place. Prices, quality and service were all subpar.
