Woman’s Sports Bar ‘The Sports Bra’ Set to Open in Portland, Maine

Stop everything for a second, no seriously. Because a bar that’s been trailblazing its way across the country is coming in hot, and the entire concept is built around women’s sports, according to WMTW. Yes, finally!

Let's get into it, this is a bar built to celebrate woman in sports and is planning to drop it's fifth franchise in Portland, Maine and it's called, The Sports Bra.

The original concept of The Sports Bra began in Oregon and became a total phenomenon, as per the article.

Instead of just squeezing women's games onto the occasional screen in the corner, this place, has made them the main event.

The bar is led by co-owners Ann Freeman and Emily Lesher of Watch Women's Sports ME, LLC.

From basketball and soccer to hockey, rugby, and more, the bar gives women year-round while giving us a space where we can gather and celebrate.

Women's Sports Bar, The Sports Bra, Opening in Portland, Maine

The Sports Bra, probably the coolest name of a bar we've ever heard. For fans in Maine, this means something simple but extremely powerful to all of us, this is a place where the games many of us already love finally get to be the spotlight and not just a specialty on a Tuesday.

To give you an idea of the kind of energy this place brings, check out how one The Sports Bra Portland, Oregon location celebrated when Team USA won Olympic gold in women’s hockey.

And let me be honest, in a state that loves it's sports, a bar dedicate to women athletes feels less like a novelty and more like the next obvious step.
