"I saw a spacious, light-filled pub built around flat screens and floor-to-ceiling windows that regularly draws lines out the door for major tournaments (even before dawn during the Olympics), a testament to the community owner Jen Barnes has created. Beyond watching sports, guests can enjoy a pool table and photobooth and browse a gift shop stocked with books about women’s sports and apparel, while the thematic, shareable menu features items like Billie Jean King Wings (chicken or zucchini), The Title IX Banh Mi, and May and Walsh Mac and Cheese." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
"When: Monday All Day, Tuesday-Friday, 4-6pm, Daily 9pm-Close (Not Available During Big Games Or Events) The Deal: $5 Glasses Of Pink Chicken Wine, $9 Aperol Spritzes, $9 Shot Of Well Whiskey, Vodka, or Tequila With Beer, $12 Pitchers Of Rainier, Discounted Snacks You’ll have a clear view of at least one of the 18 televisions at this busy Ballard bar dedicated to women’s sports. And while the games come first here, snacks are a close second, including the hefty nachos platter that's on the happy hour menu for $12." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"This Ballard pub is a hub for women's sports—and "RuPaul's Drag Race" counts, too. Every Friday during an in-progress season, Queen Sativa kicks things off with bingo at 7pm followed by a hosted Drag Race viewing at 8pm. Accompany all those sashays with a particularly tasty jackfruit buffalo dip." - aimee rizzo
"It doesn't matter if you’re at the bar, at a corner table, engaged in a round of pool, or hanging upside down from the ceiling, you’ll have a clear view of at least one of the 18 televisions at Rough & Tumble—Seattle's first sports bar dedicated to women’s sports. And while sports comes first here, the food comes in at a close second. We’re fans of the cheesy jackfruit buffalo dip and the chopped salad, which are both great alternatives to the typical fried stuff." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"A block away from the busy part of the Ballard Avenue strip is Seattle’s only bar centered around women’s sports. Rough & Tumble shows all the local teams — including Ballard FC, the neighborhood semi-pro men’s soccer team — but it’s the Storm, Reign, and USWNT games that draw the crowds here. The food menu has plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and the names of food and drink items reflect the bar’s theme. Want a tallboy of Rainier? How about a tallgirl instead?" - Harry Cheadle
