Things You Should Know About ‘The Sports Bra’, A Bar Exclusively Dedicate To Women’s Sports Coming To Indianapolis

A groundbreaking concept in sports bars is coming to Indianapolis, and fans of women’s sports have a lot to celebrate.

The Sports Bra, a bar exclusively dedicated to showcasing women’s athletics, is set to open a new location, marking a major cultural milestone for equitable representation in sports.

Here’s what you need to know about this exciting addition that is coming to Indianapolis:

1. A Bar Built for Women’s Sports

Unlike traditional sports bars, The Sports Bra is exclusively dedicated to broadcasting women’s sports.

Since its founding, it has been a space where fans can watch everything from WNBA games to women’s soccer, softball, and even women’s golf.

Tired of asking for women’s games to be put on, fans now have a place where these sports take center stage.

2. Originating in Portland, Oregon

The Sports Bra first opened its doors in Portland in 2022, thanks to founder Jenny Nguyen, a longtime champion of women’s sports.

What started as a 40-seat local bar quickly grew into a cultural movement.

Its success and popularity paved the way for this Indianapolis expansion, along with locations in Boston, Las Vegas, and St. Louis.

3. Supporting Women-Owned Businesses

Staying true to its mission of empowering women, The Sports Bra goes beyond just showing games.

It partners with women-owned businesses to source food, beverages, and services for its bar, amplifying female entrepreneurs in every community it serves.

For the Indy location, this means highlighting local women-driven ventures.

4. Choosing Indianapolis for Its Women’s Sports Legacy

Indianapolis wasn’t a random pick for The Sports Bra’s next location.

The city boasts a rich history of supporting women’s sports, from the Indiana Fever of the WNBA to the rising popularity of collegiate and local women’s leagues.

Jenny Nguyen noted that Indianapolis is a city where basketball fandom runs deep, and the current momentum behind women’s sports makes it a natural fit.

5. Cultural Significance for Women’s Sports Fans

Beyond the games, The Sports Bra offers a safe and inclusive space for fans to feel celebrated and represented.

It’s a place where supporters of women’s sports can gather, cheer together, and feel part of a larger movement.

Founder Nguyen explained it best, calling this expansion not just a business initiative but part of a cultural shift where women’s sports finally get the recognition they deserve.
