Sports bars that have female sports in the center are open across the country, and one of the best known arrives in Boston. The sports bra, which opened its doors in Portland, Oregon, in 2022, is developing with new franchises in Boston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas and St. Louis.
Jenny Nguyen, a portland chief, started the concept after having struggled to find spaces to watch female sports with her friends and partner. She found that sports bars would rarely play for women’s sports games, and if they did, games were often disabled when a male match was playing. In 2022, She said to Eater That the only way people could watch a female game is if they opened their own bar. So, she did exactly that, opening a restaurant and a bar at all ages, with breweries and distilleries belonging to women, and screens highlighting some of the best female athletes in the world. The Portland location menu is strongly based on what they call “scratch made” bar classics – with many vegan and vegetarian options – such as chicken or cauliflower wings, bra, which you can order with bacon or tempeh, and cocktails like title IX, made with bourbon, fishing liquor and mint.
“The first four franchises of the sports bra will join our location of OG Portland to become the” starting five “,” said Nguyen in a statement. “Together, we serve the national fans who are hungry for spaces which not only defend female sports, but create a community where everyone has the impression of belonging. There is no better time to open these places.”

The Boston site ownership is made up of eight residents of the Boston region who are connected by their love for female sports. “We are a dynamic team of athletes, educators, managers, planners and fans – united by our love for female sports and the commitment to build an inclusive community,” the group said in a statement in Eater. “We have spent years cultivating links and building networks on the sports scene of women in Boston, and more recently, we are organizing watch celebrations in local bars and restaurants.” The group that will oversee the daily operations of the Boston sports bra says that they have collectively experienced experiences in the hotel and restaurant industries and have welcomed sports people for women and watch parties in bars and places in the Boston region in the past year.
Bets on female sports bars have proven to be a good decision so far. Ngyunen shared with CNBC in 2023 that the location of Portland of the Bar drawn nearly a million dollars in income In his first eight months of activity.
