PORTLAND, Ore. – Anyone can find a bar that shows men’s sports, but Jenny Nguyen wanted to change that when she opened a bar in Portland, Oregon, that only shows women’s sports.

“The Sports Bra” opened its doors this month in Northeast Portland with a “mission to make great food and delicious drinks, and provide a space that supports, empowers, and promotes girls and women in sports and in the community.”

“When I first set out on this journey to open up, I had no idea the impact it would have on so many so quickly,” said Nguyen. “And we are just getting started.”

The bar features five televisions and offers standard pub food such as burgers, sliders and tater tots. Nguyen said some of the recipes will be from women in her family and she plans to source ingredients from women-owned businesses.
