Rikki’s Women’s Sports Bar & Restaurant Opens at 2223 Market Street

Rikki’s, the only place in San Francisco that is dedicated to celebrating women’s sports, held its Grand Opening on June 11, 2025. The evening before, on June 10, San Francisco Bay Times sports columnist Beth Schnitzer was among those at a preview that followed a soft opening on Sunday, June 8.

Also attending were Sara Yergovich and Danielle Thoe—Rikki’s two co-owners, Mayor Daniel Lurie, Bay FC CEO Brady Stewart, Golden State Valkyries SVP of Marketing and Communications Kimberly Veale, SF LGBT Center Director of Programs Rosemary Gardner, and Openhouse Interim Executive Director Vinny Eng.

All received an early look at the space, dedicated to Rikki Streicher and women’s sports, and could enjoy Rikki’s full menu of foods and drinks. The two featured matches on Rikki’s 14 televisions that evening were the WNBA’s Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream at 4:30 pm and Chicago Sky vs. New York Liberty at 5 pm.
