Sana’s

What is Sana’s? Located at 211 Geary Ave. in Dovercourt Village’s creative corridor, Sana blends traditional Slavic banya bathing culture with a chic, modern dining lounge. Founded by Malcolm Levy and Jamie Webster, the multi-level complex matches thermal saunas and plunge pools with a moody ground-floor bar, a secluded tea room, and a heated all-season patio. It stands out as one of the city's most unique social spaces, where patrons can comfortably share dinner and drinks while lounging in robes.

Sana’s Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out a tightly curated roster of Eastern European comfort food tailored for post-sauna replenishment. Start with the delicate handmade pierogi bathed in asparagus, parsley, and lemon butter, alongside the steak tartare accented with house ogórki pickles and toasted sourdough rye. Plant-based guests will appreciate the hen-of-the-woods mushroom schnitzel with vegan honey dill, while meat lovers should opt for the heritage pork cabbage rolls with cabbage jus. Drinkers gravitate toward the daring, briny signature sauerkraut martini, though alcohol-free options like fresh-pressed juices and kombucha are readily poured.

Know Before You Go While bathhouse facilities require advance timed tickets, the bar and restaurant welcome walk-in diners depending on room capacity. Street parking along Geary Avenue fills up fast during peak weekend evenings, making the Dufferin 29 bus or rideshare the easiest transit route. The dining room operates Wednesday through Sunday with weekend lunch, and the kitchen wraps up nightly orders at 10:30 p.m.
