Eric Ehler and Peter Dorrance, the duo behind the popular Outta Sight Pizza, are expanding their reach in San Francisco by taking over the Pomeroy Bar & Grill space in the Tenderloin neighborhood. The new venture, called Reggie and Maude's, will offer 'top-tier' bar food at affordable prices and continue the venue's live music and events. The partners plan to expand the kitchen, add a new hood, and make the bathroom accessible before opening by summer.

Why it matters

The Tenderloin is a neighborhood known for its high concentration of bars, restaurants, and nightlife, but also faces challenges with homelessness and crime. The arrival of an established hospitality group like Ehler and Dorrance's could help bring more stability and vibrancy to the area, while also preserving the neighborhood's unique character.

The details

Ehler and Dorrance are keeping the Pomeroy Bar & Grill's live music and events schedule, including the second Thursday of the month shows in Dodge Alley. They plan to expand the kitchen, add a new hood, and make the bathroom accessible before opening Reggie and Maude's by summer.

  • Pomeroy Bar & Grill will close its doors after Sunday, February 15, 2026.
  • Ehler and Dorrance hope to open Reggie and Maude's by summer 2026.
