"The name is a nod to Reggie Gamble and Maude Spencer, two pioneering madams in the Tenderloin who led a sex workers' rights movement in 1917 as the city was trying to evict brothels, as Mission Local reports. And owners Eric Ehler and Peter Dorrance both former Mister Jiu's chefs say they plan to reopen the space at 460 Larkin as a dive bar with value-oriented prices and "top tier" bar food."
"As Dorrance summed it up, "Wouldn't that be cool if you could get a burger that's really good, a martini, for $20 bucks?" They have not said whether their excellent pizzas will be available at the bar. The Larkin Street space was most recently home to Pomeroy Bar & Grill, but you may remember it as Irish pub Shovels pre-2025, and/or Harrington's Harry Pub, which was its name for many years."
Outta Sight, a popular Tenderloin pizzeria, may be expanding beyond its Larkin Street storefront as owners Eric Ehler and Peter Dorrance prepare a new venue named Reggie & Maude's. The name honors Reggie Gamble and Maude Spencer, early Tenderloin madams who led a 1917 sex workers' rights movement. Ehler and Dorrance, both former Mister Jiu's chefs, plan to reopen 460 Larkin as a dive bar with value-oriented prices and "top tier" bar food, aiming for affordable quality. The owners have not confirmed whether Outta Sight pizzas will appear at the new bar. The Larkin space previously housed Pomeroy Bar & Grill and earlier neighborhood pubs, and Outta Sight opened a Chinatown second location in January 2025.
