"Opened in Seattle in December 2022 with 18 screens devoted to women's sports, this pub quickly became a hub for big events—selling out its 255-person capacity during the Women’s World Cup, drawing lines around the block for NCAA Women’s March Madness, and turning away thousands when the local NWSL team made the playoffs. The surge in attendance created a ripple effect across the city, spurring dozens of watch parties at other bars. The owners prioritized a welcoming, less toxic-sports-bar culture that appeals to both women’s-sports fans and broader clientele, reached profitability in under a year, and also navigated financing hurdles by relying on community backing after being denied an SBA loan." - Frankie de la Cretaz
