December 6, 2025. Opened by Rikki Streicher in 1966, Maud’s, once the longest-running lesbian bar in the United States, gained an international reputation during the ‘70s and ‘80s as a meeting place for queer women. Witty, honest, and informative, Paris Poirier’s documentary about the bar blends personal stories with historical accounts from San Francisco icons — including Phyllis Lyon, Del Martin, Sally Gearhart, and Streicher herself — to provide an invaluable window into a time when bars like Maud’s were the only places the sapphic community could gather.
Join us in celebrating the legacy of Rikki Streicher, the namesake of the sports bar, Rikki’s, with a post-screening Q&A. Co-presented by Frameline and Rikki’s. Come by the bar after the screening to receive $1 off your drink with your film ticket.
