Women-focused sports bar with full menu & cold beer
"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
"Three years after opening the city’s first bar devoted to women’s sports in Ballard, this women’s sports hub is expanding to a second location by taking over the Columbia City Ale House space, making it the first women’s sports bar to have two locations, according to a press release. Founder and CEO Jen Barnes says the move is about meeting clear demand and proving women’s sports fans are a viable market, calling gender equality smart, sustainable business, and the new bar could open as soon as October, per the Seattle Times." - Harry Cheadle

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
