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!

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!

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.

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.

Charming space with solid drinks and friendly service. I've come here a few times, with the most recent visit being a couple of weekends ago. I ordered the sea foam spritz ($13) which was refreshing and reasonably priced by SF standards. The outdoor patio is a highlight of Anina. Unfortunately, it closes relatively early (10 pm, I believe), but you can take your drinks indoors after that (make sure you head inside earlier if you want to get seats). Overall, a nice place to grab some casual drinks with friends!

What a great bar in Hayes. And that outside patio? On a warm day, it's a great and popular spot with picnic benches a plenty. You order at the bar and find a seat. They have a mid-century aesthetic going on, so it's also a great spot to cozy up inside, even when weather isn't showing off. Drinks were great - I only ordered a martini, but it was well made. My friend picked up the tab, so I can't speak to pricing. I spied a solid craft beer list. Service was ehhhh. They were understaffed, and I wouldn't say the friendliest of service. I get it, I get it. Overall, def a great spot for a drink in the 'hood if you're looking to enjoy that outdoor weather. No food, but I'm assuming you can bring some in.

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.

Holy smokes - I haven't had that much booze in one sitting in quite a long time. The occasion celebrating my friend's new found independence, and celebrate we did. There are two areas to Anina - an outside deck that is heated but closes around 21:00, and the overly cramped but cool vibes indoor where the bar is situated. We started our night outside before moving in and were able to snag a table for our midsize group. Anina serves up some massive punch bowls, which back in LA, we used to call em scorpion bowls cause they pack a punch if you aren't careful. We ended up ordering two - not at the same time, but definitely could've reconsidered given how strong the first one was. Lots of fun, drinks, and good times when you're in good company. I'd definitely return to try some of their other cocktails and maybe just in a glass (or two) this time. I'm no longer in my 20s after all, lol.

Before having dinner down the block, we decided to stop for a couple of drinks at Anina. As a fan of all things cocktails, this spot is definitely worth checking out. The selection of craft cocktails is unique, and you'll be able to find something based on your favorite liquor. I love Mezcal, so I went with the Lucila which is made with mezcal, lime, pineapple gum, and pamplemousse rose. This was really refreshing, and one of those drinks that's a little too easy to drink. The ambiance is pretty cool, the bar area is very tropical, and they have a a really big covered patio, which is great for big and small groups. I've walked by here a few times, and it definitely gets packed. The bartenders were quick, attentive, and really cool people. 20% gratuity is added to every check, which is something they tell everybody when you walk in and present your valid ID. Based on the prices, i think it's fair because it comes out to $2-3, which is what I normally tip for a craft cocktail.
