    Piña colada, Quesabirria, Oaxacan 19
    Cristal F.

    Came here with a group of four after a Giants Friday night game and we were let up pretty quickly; there wasn't a huge line around 10pm. There is a really cool view of the baseball field and plenty of space for people to stand or sit and talk. I tried their piña colada and it was very good. My partner and friends ordered some food (quesabirria and oysters) and lovedddd it. They have a good selection of cocktails and food on their menu and everything came out relatively quickly considering how busy they were. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. One of the workers saw my friend and I were struggling to bring over our food and drinks to where our partners were, so he jumped in and helped carry some of our items to our area. Would definitely come here again.

    Hmmm.. The views did not disappoint. They have great views of the city. The service is ok, takes time. Now onto the food and the drinks. The guac was stale. Chicken skewers were good. Drinks were very weak. Lots of potatoes with everything. Nothing to rave about. Was looking forward to trying out this place and while the views did not disappoint, the food and drinks were meh.

    Cavana, in my opinion, is one of the best rooftop spots in SF. Located on top of the LUMA Hotel, you get stunning views of the East Bay, the Bay Bridge, and even Oracle Park. Yes, rooftop bars in the city are pricey, but you're not just paying for the view here! The vibes, drinks, and food are all on point. I also love that they have fire pits for those chilly nights (which is... most nights, honestly). For food, I've tried the guacamole and the quesabirria tacos. Both were great, but the braised beef birria with that consommé was especially amazing. They even do a Christmas-themed menu during the holidays, which is such a fun touch. Love this spot! I've taken a few friends visiting from out of town & they loved the views.

    We came here on a Monday night for happy hour before an event and our server was Bailey! He was very kind and attentive, asked us if we wanted blankets since it was windy. The food was superb, we had the patatas with chorizo/ chips and Guac. Great bites to pregame with. For drinks we tried the guayaba, kiwi, and pisco punch. All delicious and Bailey told us they were the most popular drinks so definitely try them out. We will 100% be back to try more of the menu!

    Nochebuena Xmas pop is divine ! My friends and I go every year and it never disappoints. The drinks are great; try the egg nog one, it's so good! The food is tasty. We always get chips to snack on, and this time we shared a bread pudding. Their service is always great, our servers name was Mica and she was an absolute delight. These Christmas vibes are festive and fun- it's super well decorated. Highly recommend !

    Came on a Monday night with a party of 3. Got seated right away outside by the fireplace during sunset hours (so beautiful!). Our server, Bailey, gave us the best service, explained our drinks and foods. The drinks we got (pisco punch, guayaba, kiwi) were all amazing, and would get again next time we come back!!!

    Came here with a friend and got some drinks and food! Good: - The food was delicious - I liked the quesabirria tacos the most and it was the perfect portion size for me - The chips and guac were great to munch on while we had drinks - I liked the watermelon drink the most, then the mango frozen drink was pretty good too - The place is beautiful inside, very upscale modern - Super fast service! Bad: - The place is pretty expensive if you get 1 appetizer and a few drinks - We got kicked out after being here for two hours so it was definitely a busy place - The place is super busy and loud Overall this was a fancy bar and good place to catch up with a friend!

    I visited for a GNO last night. Reservations were available 2 weeks in advance so we were able to reserve outdoor seating with the fire pit. It's a large, beautiful rooftop lounge & restaurant on the top of the Luma Hotel. We shared the guacamole, fried chicken yucca fries & ceviche. All items were good but I probably liked the yucca fries & chicken the most. I ordered the fish tacos as an entree & it was a good sized order, almost unable to finish it because of eating the shared appetizers. We shared the vanilla custard for dessert, which was the perfect end to our meal. I had a mango frozen cocktail which was pretty good. The outside terrace is pretty with heaters above & fire pits on one of the outdoor seating areas. The other terrace has heaters & tables but no fire pits.

    Passion fruit marg, sangria and the Oaxacan.
    Ojoma O.

    I like the vibe at this restaurant specially for the music. I attempted to order drinks last night but was told they were out of stock of different things that I wanted at 7pm. I ended up getting the passion fruit margarita which was good but not worth $18. It's also incredibly loud inside and you can't hear the people at your own table without yelling. The service was also very slow at times, no one to check in to our table when I wanted to order food.

    One of the best rooftop bars in SF!! Great service all-around and great vibes! The bar is aesthetically pleasing. The bar also gives you a great view of the skyline! The food and drinks do add up, especially with a large group, but it's worth it! P.S They do take Resy!

    Date of Visit: 9/26/2025 We visited Cavaña located at the 17th floor of the Luma Hotel in Mission Bay. This is about a block and across the canal from Oracle park and was great for watching baseball games. Cavaña is an ode to Central and South America. It mixed with flavors, culture and heritage foods and drinks from Latin America. The name Cavaña comes from two of Latin America's most iconic spirits: Agave + Caña = Cavaña. Mixing the complexity of mezcal and tequila to rum and cachaça, Cavaña brings the flavor of Latin America to the urban San Francisco. Guayaba $19 Husband ordered this cocktail mixed with Real Del Valle tequila reposado, guava, rose petals, vanilla, mommenpop aperitif, and lime. Served in crushed ice and the smell of rose petals was phenomenal. Sandia $19 I ordered the Sandia with the lost explorer tequila blanco, Mexican cucumber gin, aloe, watermelon, hibiscus gum, lime, and serrano. The spice was stronger than the other drink, with a hint of freshness from the fresh watermelon. Yuca Fries $12 We ordered the fries made from Cassava root, and on the side with rocoto aioli. Baja Fish Tacos $22 We got the fish tacos with Negra modelo battered cod, cabbage, cilantro, onions, and aji panaca. Three pieces per order which was a good portion for 2 adults. Oxacan $19 We also got the old fashioned style cocktail as the second round. Made with Arette tequila reposado, mal bien mezcal espadin, ancho demerara, mole bitters, and flamed orange.

    Chicken Skewers with potatoes and a chicken Cesar salad both delicious
    Alex P.

    Cavaña was impressive! If you want to impress a date take him or her to salsa Sundays at Cavana it's awesome! They have a live salsa band that plays from 5pm to 8pm on Sundays and the rooftop views while you are cutting a rug and drinking a modelo are amazing. You can see the ball park and the bay bridge so clearly. I can only imagine how it would look like during a giants game. The service was great those trendy ladies that work there are the sweetest. We had the chicken Cesar salad and the chicken skewers. Those chicken skewers were so good I almost ate the Woden sticks. I was impressed by everything there. They even have a cool elevator that takes you right to the 17th floor roof. It really caters to everyone. If you want to party here loud music and dance head to the west side of the restaurant if you want a quiet chill spot overlooking the bridge and the ballpark you head can head to the east side of the restaurant and there are 2 bars to choose from. I will most definitely come back here.

    Greg H.

    Had the Latin American flight and it was so good!! Each drink had a different flavor and they were nothing that I would've imagined or experienced anywhere else in San Francisco. Making a reservation was easy to do, and the environment serves as a great place for a celebratory drink or to meet up with good company.

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.

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.

I took my two friends here for a birthday celebration, and it was so magnificent.  It looks very unassuming from the host stand, but you are transported into a beautiful dining area as you are ushered in. Lush velvet booths, a beautiful mural behind a magnificent bar top, and even perfect table ware!! I love when restaurants pay attention to details. Everything I ordered was delicious. The oysters, uni amaebi donburi (Sea Urchin & Raw Shrimp Rice Bowl), Tom Kha Ceviche, and the chicken egg salad sandwich. The bites were truly so decadent, balanced, and well-executed. The oysters were fresh, plump, and perfectly topped with sweet and citrusy flavors. The bite of the night was the uni amaebi bowl. They load you up on sea urchin, shrimp, and roe. It is bursting with flavor, and paired with PERFECTLY COOKED RICE.  The drinks were also amazing! I got the matcha cocktail and the espresso martini. I mean... phenomenal. Everyone wants to do a matcha cocktail, but I don't think a single bar program is going to put one out as perfect as Shoji's. It's delicate and earthy, and the perfect drink to pair with their menu.  Dessert was also good! Tea-based affogatos. They're fun. Ugh, I want to live in SF just so I can frequent Shoji. I will be back for dinner and to try their day time cafe. Get a reservation if you can, it is so worth it!
