Women’s sports bars are expanding fast. The number of dedicated venues is set to quadruple in 2025, driven by the growing popularity of women’s sports—which YPulse data shows over half of young sports fans are watching. Major moments like record-breaking NCAA women’s basketball viewership and the rising influence of athletes like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have fueled demand for spaces that prioritize women’s sports coverage. Bars like The Sports Bra in Portland paved the way, inspiring new openings across the country. Funding challenges remain a problem for these more “niche” spots, but with 64% of young sports fans saying women’s sports are just as exciting as men’s according to YPulse, the momentum behind these bars isn’t likely to slow down.
