Impressive time traveling? No big deal. It’s no sweat to take your date back to another era with the help of Whitechapel. Lavish, ornate and heralding the romance of a late 1800s underground elite world, this multi-roomed Tenderloin bar and eatery pays attention to the finest of details when it comes to both atmosphere and appetites. A gin bar with an extensive list of fanciful cocktails, bar bites and full plates (from buttered prawns to burgers to charcuterie boards), Whitechapel will have you feeling like you should have donned a costume because it provides a memorable backdrop for an outing that takes you away from modern, urban SF.
