User Reviews for Cantina

4 Star Rating: Recommended

Atmosphere is lovely, classy-relaxed; bartenders are super-friendly and informed. The space is spare but lovingly decorated and well-suited to the intimacy that alcohol encourages. A great place to spend a couple hours with really good friends. Drinks are suprising and delicious. Owner is a smart, mega-charming, outgoing hipster hottie which is just what one wants, isn't it. My only complaint: THERE'S NO FOOD! Old chicks cannot seriously drink without maintaining some protein/carb source in their stomachs. Revenue will suffer. I'm not talking full menu; I'm talking some kind of tapas selection with minimal prep needs, and soon! Yay.

Pros: Grace, beauty, social quality and beverage superiority.

Cons: No food

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Happened in, thought it was part of the hotel, welcomed by one of the owners, and promptly became comfortable, the drinks only added to the experience. I suspect this bar will become, if not already, one of the "IN" places. I'm not one of the young crowd, but did not feel out of place. Thanks Duggan, Kristina, and the customers for a great San Francisco experience.

Pros: super friendly, great drinks

Cons: can't think of any

These bartenders know their drinks. And they can tell you just what makes them so delicious. Not only do they know their drinks, but they know what drinks to give each person who walks through their hole-in-the-wall door if you're brave enough to ask for a recommendation. The atmosphere is wonderful; I love all the colors and fun random pieces that tie together so perfectly. It wasn't at all crowded when I visited (probably because you can't spot it from the street if you don't know what you're looking for), but I'd go even if it was packed from wall to wall. I will definitely be visiting again.

Pros: Drinks: amazing

Cons: Hard to spot from the street, but I hear from the owner's that a sign is coming.

What a surprise this place turned out to be! Incredible selection of drinks, the best stocked bar I've ever seen coupled with excellent bartenders. I was there on a Wednesday night before and after dinner so the place was almost empty - therefore no comments on social aspects of Cantina, but the pure pleasure of a high class bar is absolutely there.

Pros: Incredible quality and selection of drinks

Cons: No visibility from the street (no sign, no advertisements etc.)

Editor's Review

Warm colors, inviting decor and a cocktail list with south-of-the-border flair give this downtown art bar Latin flavor.  See the full editorial review.
