"Known as America’s first-ever bar dedicated to women’s sports and launched by Jenny Nguyen in 2022, I found The Sports Bra highlights women’s sports on screen and on the menu, pairing traditional pub fare with vegan and gluten-free offerings and a kids menu (buttered noodles and daytime WNBA games are even called out). The drink program leans into beverages made by women—beers, ciders, and kombuchas—alongside cocktails featuring women-owned Freeland Spirits, and the brand is expanding with franchises slated for St. Louis, Las Vegas, Boston, and Indianapolis in 2026." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
