Outta Sight Pizza team plans Reggie & Maude’s, taking over a Tenderloin bar at 460 Larkin
A pizzeria’s next move: from slices to a neighborhood bar built around food
San Francisco’s Tenderloin is set to gain a new bar concept from the team behind Outta Sight Pizza, the popular slice shop with a flagship location on Larkin Street and a second storefront in Chinatown. The bar, announced as Reggie & Maude’s, is planned for 460 Larkin St., a short walk from the original pizzeria.
The address is currently home to Pomeroy Bar & Grill, which has operated as a neighborhood bar and is scheduled to close on Sunday. The site has a long history as a drinking establishment, with records indicating bar operations there dating back decades. The incoming concept has been publicly described as a welcoming bar centered on straightforward, well-executed food rather than a continuation of the pizza menu.
What is known about the concept and timeline
Reggie & Maude’s has been presented as a “dive” in style and positioning, with an emphasis on bar bites and affordability at a time when many diners have become more selective about high-priced, long-form tasting menus. Plans described for the space include kitchen upgrades and accessibility improvements, suggesting the food program will be a core part of the business rather than an add-on.
As of publication, the venture has been discussed publicly, but the transition remains subject to final leasing and buildout steps typical of bar and restaurant openings. The anticipated opening window cited for the new bar is summer.
The address: from Shovels to Pomeroy, and now a new operator
Pomeroy Bar & Grill at 460 Larkin St. is a Tenderloin bar that has hosted live music and sports viewings, and it has promoted a full kitchen and a whiskey-forward identity. In 2025, the business marked a reintroduction of the space under the Pomeroy name, describing the effort as a revival tied to the bar’s “storied past.” Its closure sets up one of the neighborhood’s more prominent handoffs: an established bar location transitioning to operators best known for food.
The people behind the project
Outta Sight Pizza is run by Peter Dorrance and Eric Ehler, who worked together in fine dining before turning to pizza and sandwiches. Their Tenderloin shop opened after earlier pop-ups and a residency period, developing a following for thin-crust slices and a rotating menu. The business later expanded to a second location at 643 Clay St. in Chinatown, reflecting a broader strategy that pairs a tightly defined core product with neighborhood-specific execution.
Why the name “Reggie & Maude’s” carries local history
The new bar’s name references Reggie Gamble and Maude Spencer, figures associated with a well-documented moment in San Francisco history: a January 25, 1917 demonstration organized in the Uptown Tenderloin against planned evictions tied to the city’s anti-vice crackdown. Contemporary accounts describe the protest as drawing roughly 300 sex workers to a church, where they demanded to be heard and argued that the policy threatened their livelihoods.
Planned venue: Reggie & Maude’s, 460 Larkin St., Tenderloin
Current occupant: Pomeroy Bar & Grill, closing Sunday
Operators: Peter Dorrance and Eric Ehler of Outta Sight Pizza
Focus: bar bites and drinks, with kitchen and accessibility upgrades planned
The shift from destination dining to casual, food-driven bars is increasingly visible in San Francisco’s restaurant economy, and the Tenderloin—anchored by long-running nightlife—remains a natural testing ground for concepts that blend drinking, simple food, and neighborhood programming.
