Women's sports bars are sports bars designed to highlight and promote women's sporting leagues. Women's sports bars have experienced significant growth, particularly within the United States.
The Sports Bra in Portland, Oregon, became the first when it opened its doors in April 2022. Rough and Tumble Pub in Seattle followed suit eight months later. Crossbar, the UK's first bar dedicated to showing women's sports, opened in Brighton in February 2026."Toast the Success of this Rare Gem: UK's First Women's Sports Bar has Opened on the South Coast.

The rise of women's sports bars has been linked to the rise of professional women's sporting leagues and its associated viewership increases.
