Flipper's Gourmet Hamburgers has become "Anina." The new cocktail bar, as Hoodline tells us comes from the owners of Brass Tacks, the bar right next door to what was once a kind of dive-y but delicious hamburger joint. Anina aims to woo us with lush murals, an outdoor patio, and punch bowls - but no hamburgers.
"We removed the kitchen, the layout has pretty much transformed," explained co-owner Anthony Healy-London to Hoodline."We want to be a neighborhood bar with great customer service that's open for everyone."
Everyone indeed! Anina's space has been upgraded with new ADA-compliant restrooms. The bright interior was designed by Sayre Ziskin, the same creative mind behind Brass Tacks, and the murals are by Buenos Aires-based artist Lucila Dominguez.
Anina - 482 Hayes Street and will be open from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. every day starting today.
