"Hayes Valley can occasionally feel like it was designed by a committee of lifestyle bloggers, and Anina fits right into all the neighborhood’s cliches. Except that it’s an actually fun place to hang out. They have punch bowls and a string light-filled side patio that’s even better during the day than it is at night. You can also reserve those outdoor tables, so when there’s too much sun at 2pm on a Friday to consider staying at the office, you can be prepared. It’s also a great spot to grab a drink while waiting for a table at A Mano or Monsieur Benjamin." - Nic Strain
"Drinking outside is fun. Drinking outside with friends and enormous fruity punch bowls? Even better. Anina is buzzy and borderline preppy-hip (typical Hayes Valley) and you should expect to see a designer dog or two. And, because of the city's unpredictable weather, there’s also an airy indoor bar with vibrant floral murals. This place never disappoints. Just get here early to secure an outdoor table." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"Drinking outside is fun. Drinking outside with friends and enormous fruity punch bowls? Even better. Anina feels like a tropical beer garden, with a ton of rum and botanical-leaning drinks.

And, because of the city's unpredictable weather, there’s also an airy indoor bar with vibrant floral murals." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"In a neighborhood where $14 cocktails and $5 Pacificos are an endangered species, Anina remains a sanctuary. As Anina approaches 10 years in Hayes Valley, their batched cocktails taste dialed and the space feels broken in. Snacks here are limited to popcorn and chips, an ode to a time when bars could provide tropical drinks in outdoor spaces and that was enough." - Matt Tillquist
"Anina is a Hayes Valley beer garden with a tropical feel that works well for first dates, group hangs, or any occasion that calls for fruity punch bowls. The sun-drenched patio with twinkle lights has plenty of outdoor picnic tables that are ideal for holding up all the beer, wine, and cocktails that will inevitably cover it. Get here early to secure a spot before they start to get busy (and they always get busy). " - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
