"No matter inflation, infamous bureaucracy, or impossible rents, some businesses in San Francisco seem to defy the odds: Less than four years since opening their first shop, the owners of Outta Sight Pizza are launching a third storefront. Reggie and Maude's is the newest project from Outta Sight's co-founders Eric Ehler and Peter Dorrance, who are branching out to bar life - and doubling down on their commitment to the Tenderloin."
"The bar has carved wood ceilings, a dusty arcade game, and a pool room. It is a slice of Tenderloin history: There has reportedly been a pub or speakeasy on the spot for about 100 years. The name Reggie and Maude's is a nod to two madams in the Tenderloin vice district, Reggie Gamble and Maude Spencer, who in 1917 were leaders in the sex workers' rights movement as the city moved to evict hundreds of brothels."
Outta Sight Pizza co-founders Eric Ehler and Peter Dorrance are launching Reggie and Maude's, a new bar on the same block as their Larkin Street pizza shop. The owners will take over Pomeroy Bar & Grill, a longtime Tenderloin pub with carved wood ceilings, an arcade game and a pool room. The name honors local madams Reggie Gamble and Maude Spencer, leaders in a 1917 sex workers' rights movement. The founders moved from Michelin-starred Mister Jiu's and plan to serve "top-tier" bar food at affordable prices, aiming for value like a quality burger and martini for about $20. Pizza may be included; the team is optimistic given prior shop success.
