Daniel Lurie
There’s a new bar in the Castro and this one’s a little different.
On Tuesday evening, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie shouted, “Let’s go San Francisco!” as he took part in cutting the ceremonial purple ribbon inside the newly opened Rikki’s, the city’s latest — and only — women’s sports bar.
Rikki’s is expected to be a new community space for people across the Bay Area. Co-owners Sara Yergovich and Danielle Thoe spoke about the importance of the new space to the few dozen supporters and staff present at the private gathering.
Rikki’s is located at 2223 Market St. in the Castro District and will be the first-ever women’s sports bar in San Francisco, according to the owners. Yergovich and Thoe got the idea to open the venue after having difficulty finding reliable places to watch their favorite women’s games.
“It should not be this hard to watch women’s sports,” Yergovich said. “So Danielle and I thought, why don’t we do something about it?”
