"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.

"Even if the weather pulls a classic San Francisco and cools down out of nowhere, you can still drink outside comfortably at Anina. The back patio here is small, so most of the picnic tables are close enough to heaters to keep everyone comfortable. Plus it’s on the ground level and blocked on most sides by walls, so the wind isn’t an issue. Claim a picnic table with your friends and order a few punch bowls for everyone to split while you wonder why more places don’t have punch bowls." - will kamensky
