While there are loads of high class glitzy eateries and nite spots in San Francisco, nothing's closer to the word 'swank' than the Backflip. Part bar - part club - part restaurant (and actually tasty), this little beauty is nestled in the sometimes unsavory area of Tenderloin. Modelled around an underwater, aquamarine theme, with a genuine pool adjacent to the dining room, the place somehow manages to not make blue depressing. With huge chairs, some of which seem to be moulded perfectly to your crotch, retro lighting fixtures and beautiful glass walls, one would think the mood would be perfect for the drink of your choice. Not that it isn't, but we found the crowds to look a little on the fancy-pants side. This, unfortunately, is expected sometimes in this city. While the food I've had, Two Bite Burgers: special sauce, tomato, lettuce, fries, and pickle ($8), and something else I can't remember, was good, and the drinks are FANTASTIC, the service can be slow. Perhaps they hurry faster to your table when you're all fancied up in your absolutely bestest outfit. You'll find the club/dance area in the back to be pretty packed with the trendy late 20's crowd, often stacked in body to body. Working a path to the toilets can be as challenging as attempting the latest dance crazes the kids are doing on the dance floor…..'swing those pants babeeee' All in all, a great place for late night cocktails and not too heavy eats.
