"Dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive space that plays women’s sports constantly, I found A Bar of Their Own to be a classic Midwestern sports bar with a feminist spin: the draft list highlights women‑ and trans‑owned or -made brews, and popular programming like Brunch and Ball draws crowds to cheer the Minnesota Lynx while eating Breakfast Totchos and French toast sticks. The venue often packs with women’s sports fans and hosts events ranging from speed puzzling and sports author talks to fundraisers for local trans sports organizations (and even attracted WNBA player Courtney Williams’ dad during away games)." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
