Sports bar featuring women's sports coming to San Francisco

Friday, August 30, 2024
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- San Francisco is getting a new bar that will feature women sports.

The bar is still in its planning stage.

The founders are fundraising right now to open a location near the Mission and Castro neighborhoods.

It will be unique as women's profession sports will be prioritized on the TVs.

The founders say they got the idea after having difficulty getting women's sports on the TVs at pubs.

"It will be a place that women's sports as well as local athletes that play in local sports leagues can come watch a game or gather after their own game and just build," said Sara Yergovich, a co-founder of the car.

The bar will be called Rikki's -- named after Rikki Streicher, a San Francisco LGBTQ leader who founded the Gay Games Federation in 1982.
