Really nice set up for a sports bar. They have some memorabilia from area soccer teams as well as Golden State Valkyries. Order your drinks at the bar and food orders on the back counter. Everything was very clean and the food delivered hot and fresh. We had the Beet burger and the smash burger. Also sampled the spiced carrots with whipped feta. Everything was good! All the televisions were on with an assortment of sports games but the main attraction is women’s sports.

Excited this is finally open! We went opening weekend and the place was packed. It was the first time they were playing the Golden State Valkyries game, and you can feel the excitement. The energy was incredible. Definitely come early to snag a table! We loved the beers on tap, especially the "Gay Crush" by Local Brewing Co. It was fresh, fruity and delicious. You order food from the back, and we were really impressed by the menu. The pear grilled cheese was incredible, and we heard the fried chicken sandwich is not to be missed. I can’t wait to watch more games here!

Rikki’s is the best women’s sports themed bar I’ve visited yet - currently on a women’s sports themed vacation along the west coast. There was lots of cool decor ranging the history of women’s sports and an ode to the namesake on one wall. People were gathering in large groups, going on early dates, working on laptops - the whole range of activities that might occur in such a place. Place was packed at 4pm on a Wednesday. smash burger and fries was delicious and there were plenty of screens to watch the WNBA match on. The bar was very busy and understaffed, but I’m assuming since it’s new they are figuring out their staffing needs and meeting the what seems to be huge demand. It’s really well located in the Castro which makes for a nice walk before or after if you’re in town as a tourist.

Rikki’s Sports Bar — A Game-Changer for Women’s Sports Fans Today we got a sneak peek at Rikki’s Sports Bar, and let us just say—it slaps. Finally, a sports bar that puts women’s sports front and center, while still keeping all your other favorite games in rotation. The vibe? Electric but welcoming. Think: stylish sports lounge meets community hangout. TVs line the walls streaming everything from local matchups to must-see national games, with a special spotlight on women’s sports. The food is next-level: no greasy baskets here. Plates. Real plates. With elevated bar fare that actually tastes like someone cared. We had a double-patty burger with a little kick—juicy, bold, and flavorful. The fries? Absolute perfection. Crispy, golden, addictive. And the drinks? As colorful as the crowd. The bar was shaking up an array of cocktails—each one unique, vibrant, and Instagram-worthy. Rikki’s isn’t just another sports bar—it’s a celebration of women’s sports, great food, and inclusive community. We’ll be back. You should too.

Great vibe, and wonderful to have an alternative to the deafening Hi Tops! The only disappointment is the food which seems highly hit and miss… the chicken Sammy was wildly overcooked, thin and inedibly hard (I really should have just returned it); the beet burger is a great idea but very bland and lacks texture; the fish and chips comes with this odd sauce that seems to have come out of a Kroger’s salad dressing bottle. If they can fix up the quality of the food, they’ll get repeat locals coming in on quieter nights

The best smash burger in town so far. Highly recommend to try it out if you are in the area.
