Wine bar and plant shop with live music, vegetarian bites
"There’s nowhere else in the city where you can indulge in a glass of pét-nat while listening to a DJ set inside of a space that’s greener than Redwood National Park. This plant shop-wine bar hybrid is usually packed with self-described “plant parents” chatting about watering habits while snacking on cheese boards or salads from the all-vegetarian menu. Even if you can’t keep a pothos alive, the high-ceilinged, frond-filled place is still great to bring a date you want to impress or before dinner at one of the neighborhood's great restaurants." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway
"Come to Arcana for a glass of pét-nat and you might leave with a $600 ponytail palm. The Mission multi-hyphenate is a breezy plant shop and wine bar that’s usually packed with self-described “plant parents” chatting about watering habits while snacking on cheese boards, salads, or something else from the all-vegetarian menu. Even if you can’t keep a plant alive, the high-ceilinged, frond-filled place is still the answer to "What should we do tonight?”" - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"At this plant shop, bar, and live music spot in the Mission, you can drink a non-alcoholic beer while cozied up next to a $200 orchid. In addition to zero-proof blond ales and sparkling wines, they also have a bunch of fancy teas on the menu. The steaming hot mugs of genmaicha or decaf chamomile and lavender hit especially hard on those light-mist nights." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"This Mission spot is a plant store by day and a natural wine bar at night, complete with live music a few times a week. So if you’re someone with a monstera tattooed on your left rib, this is the place for you. Leafy greens cover every square inch of the high-ceilinged space, and line the equally-busy parklet. Come with a date you want to impress or before dinner at one of the neighborhood's great restaurants, and get buzzed off some orange wine while sitting under a towering ponytail palm." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
"This plant store/natural wine bar/art space is a millennial fever dream brought to life. Located off Mission near 21st Street, Arcana allows its super-cool clientele to lounge under an enormous dracaena or a trailing philodendron while sipping natural wines like Vinca Minor chardonnay, Domaine Les Enfants Sauvages “Bouche Bee,” or an orange biodynamic Reisling from France. Check the business website for a calendar of live music nights." - Dianne de Guzman
