"Anina is a bright bar in Hayes Valley that’s always busy and where you can get tropical drinks that won’t remind you of spring break. The back patio here is all communal picnic tables, so when you’re only meeting one other person, it feels a lot more casual since you’re sharing your space with a few strangers. Hang out for a while - even on a cooler day with the heat lamps outside - and trade stories of the worst thing that happened to you on a vacation. If things are going well, think about checking out somewhere in the area for dinner like RT Rotisserie or Domo." - Will Kamensky
