Aura Cinema

I came here for a private event. Sweetest bartenders Ray & Tammy. Both are attentive, friendly and quick on drink orders. There is plenty street parkings but pay attention to street signs. Some parking meter is up to 10pm. 2 level bar. Upstair area has a pool table, karaoke and seatings. 2 bathrooms. Friendly and accommodating owners. He helped us do a slideshow on tv. He put our holiday greeting message on marquee above bar. We were allowed to do a photo backdrop on second level. We rearranged tables/chairs to our preferences. Great sound system. Hidden Spot is a separate business inside the bar. You can ordered food directly with them. Best bar foods. Yummy wings, fries and Mac & cheese. Service is great. Reasonable prices. Great place to get a drinks with friends or closed out the bar for a private event.

We came in here for a part of 4. We walked in with an amazing environment. It's a really cool hang out spot with karaoke! They also have private karaoke room rentals. All their bar foods were amazing! Can't wait to come back.

A promising menu but unfortunately a let down for the bai jiu drink which somehow just tasted like orange juice despite that not being a listed ingredient, and the shaker ice was not even strained. I expected more from a $20 drink. The philly green onion pancake was alright, the wings looked good though.

Such a great and intimate bar!! Definitely agree that this is a hidden gem. Unique fun drinks, and the salt and pepper wings were absolutely delicious! Kevin was an amazing bartender. We came on a wednesday night. Great crowd, food, fun drinks, and good song selection, will definitely be back!

I came here for my partner's birthday and was surprised that they had a comedy night going on when we came but we stayed and watched and enjoyed the night. Love the karaoke set up - we had a blast using it and it's super awesome that it's a little bit empty at times so we had the whole place to ourselves. The song choices were up to date and really good. Thanks to the staff who gave us a free round of shots too for my partner's birthday! I also enjoyed the truffle fries and beer here - this feels like a place that I'd come for events and hosting parties more often since the set up is very new and modern and close to where I live.

Such a fun vibe. Delicious drinks. Perfect music selection. Chill crowd. Bartender Kevin was killing it.

Amazing service! Came here for karaoke on Wednesday night with KJ Lauren Yellow. The staff are very attentive and all smiles, you can't help but feel welcomed! Plenty of seating in the upstairs area with the pool table and karaoke and downstairs area near the bar. Looking forward to trying their cocktails next time!

We came here for a private event and I am glad we got to meet the owner of this bar. He is born and raised in San Francisco which is a very rare staple now in the san francisco. So if you are looking for a quiet place for drinks, host your own party / event, or private bookings this is your place. They have great street parking and its in a quiet place out on the street at night. The drinks were good, thanks to the bartenders who made drinks off menu and the food was awesome too! Definitely coming back to show support and to help the Aura team stay in business because we have to keep our natives here :)

NEW REMODEL & NEW CONCEPT!The best vibes, the best drinks and the best food! I came in during happy hour to try their new menu and I am mind blown! I never thought bar food would be so appetizing. The garlic noodles were so flavorful, and so rich plus it's served out of a Chinese takeout box! One of the best I've ever had honestly.. Next fave were the salt and pepper chicken wings. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside but packed with fragrant garlic and jalepenos! Cocktails were also so yummy and unique. The ones I tried had such depth and intricate flavors. The God of Mercy (Guan Yin) I could drink all day because of its delicate and refreshing flavors. The best topper is that they offer free karaoke in their communal bar area as well as private ones.

A hidden gem! It's such a vibe in there. There were enough people in there but not overly crowded. The bartenders were attentive and made us really tasty drinks. I can imagine it being super lively on game days too as there were tvs everywhere. There's also two karaoke rooms available that would be perfect for a night out with group of friends!
