Outta Sight is trading slices for sliders, at least for a night. The pizza shop's founders are bringing Reggie and Maude's, a burger and hot dog pop-up, to Jules in the Lower Haight next Monday at 5 PM. The one-night preview is a warm-up for a full Reggie and Maude's bar the partners hope to open in the Tenderloin this fall. The vibe leans intentionally nostalgic, with classic bar food, classic cocktails and even a winking Smirnoff Ice moment.
What they'll be serving
The menu keeps things tight and indulgent. Expect skinny-thick patties with a little char, dressed with two sauces: one that riffs on Peter Luger’s steak sauce and another that is a garlicky, MSG-forward mayonnaise. There will also be Vienna hot dogs from Chicago, loaded up with seasoned loose-meat beef.
As reported by The San Francisco Standard, the pop-up will bring Outta Sight’s familiar cheap‑pizza energy along with a Smirnoff Ice cocktail poured into a red cup. The whole thing is framed as comfort food first, not cocktail theater.
A name with history
The name Reggie and Maude's is not just a retro flourish. It nods to Reggie Gamble and Maude Spencer, who led a 1917 protest for sex workers' rights in San Francisco. As documented by The Bold Italic, that march is often cited as one of the city's earliest organized actions by sex workers, and the owners say the name is meant to acknowledge the Tenderloin's complex past.
From keys to kitchen tests
The Tenderloin project has been slowly coming into focus. Mission Local noted that co-owner Peter Dorrance posted a photo holding the keys to the future Tenderloin space, a clear signal that build-out has begun. According to Mission Local, the team plans to run a string of pop-ups to fine-tune recipes and build buzz before the permanent bar opens.
The partners describe Reggie and Maude's as an approachable neighborhood bar, the kind of place that is reliable, simple and pointedly unpretentious.
Testing before a fall opening
The pop-ups are designed as a months-long testing ground. The owners say they intend to stage events over roughly four months while they finish the Tenderloin venue, which they expect to open in October. The first Lower Haight date at Jules is already listed as sold out, a sign of local enthusiasm for straightforward, well-made bar food, as reported by The San Francisco Standard.
When the Tenderloin bar does open, the plan is to focus on classic cocktails and familiar drinks rather than high-concept gimmicks.
Outta Sight's next chapter
Outta Sight itself started as a pandemic pop-up before growing into brick-and-mortar slice shops, winning a devoted following for its thin, charred pies. As covered by the San Francisco Chronicle, the move from pop-up to storefront leaned into neighborhood cooking and accessible prices.
For now, anyone curious about Reggie and Maude's will need to snag a spot at one of the pop-ups while they run, or wait for the Tenderloin bar to arrive this fall.
