Boogie Nights

Swank Cocktail Club Opens

Scene: EXT. Poolside Cabana — Afternoon.

Dirk: Hey, foxy, what should we do tonight?

Rollergirl: I’m dying to see Swank.

Dirk: Nothing like nudie cuties.

Rollergirl: No, no, the new cocktail club next to the Laurel Inn in Pac Heights. It’s like Mondrian meets I Dream of Jeannie.

Dirk: Sounds bitchin’.

Rollergirl: Oh, I hear it’s totally far out — all ’60s themed with a mosaic-tiled fireplace, mahogany bar, Sputnik-inspired chandelier, framed mag covers in the loos, and a heated patio. They serve French 75s, classic martinis, and my fave: Harvey Wallbangers.

Dirk: Didn’t it used to be called the G spot?

Rollergirl: Yep, that’s the one.

Dirk: I never could find it.

Rollergirl: You’re telling me.

Swank, 488 Presidio Avenue, at California Street (415-346-7431).
