STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Jenny Nguyen was annoyed by her experience in sports bars. It wasn't just the sticky tables or drunk guys. The games that she cared about were on mute, ignored by others or not even on. That's how Nguyen came up with a bar that would only have women's sports on TV. She found a place in Portland and plans to open next month. When naming it, she decided to reverse two letters. The sports bar is called The Sports Bra. It's MORNING EDITION.

There are already Lesbian bars in Portland.
Maybe, but certain womens sports have a huge lesbian audience, especially the WNBA.
Jenny? I found her number on the wall. For a good time. 867-5309.
Huge? Do you have any data to back that up? I have my doubts.
Exactly. I’ll give it a year or two.
All of them don’t need to. But in a city as large and lefty as Portland, you only need a small percentage to support one bar.
Someone should open ‘Sports Bro’ across the street
That’s funny s#%t right there.

It sound like just another lesbo bar. How is it news? 🤷🏻♀️
Pretty ugly.
Jumbo shrimp.
Happily married.
Friendly fire.
Women’s sports.
I’m wondering if somehow a Portlandia episode skipped over The Bee and sneaked into the news.
Well they do say that Portlandia is more of a documentary than a “sketch” show.
So it’s a Lesbian bar, certainly not the first.
You would be wrong about lesbian sports fans. They are legion in Austin and Dallas. Austin has a whole entertainment and bar district for lesbians and gays it’s massively successful packed full nearly 7 days a week. Dallas has a number of lesbian sports bars in the “gayberhood” some have been open for decades. Again packed full of lesbians. I have a former student and close personal friend of mine who routinely invites me out with her and her GF to do sundayfunday on the patio. Th 36 are hardcore women’s soccer fanatics as well as women’s NBA. College women’s basketball is in March madness right now a.d those bars are full of lesbians spending money drinking and watching those games it’s a solid money maker in multicultural cities maybe not so much in red neck flyover country but in major metros they make bank. Portland is Austin’s official sister city and everyone calls Austin the Portland of Texas so it is a true fit. I fully expect a lesbian sports bar in Portland to be full of patrons on the regular. It’s solid business sense find a undercooked market in a location and fill it. Given the high percentage of LQBTQ in Portland the demographics are there to support a thriving business.
I've never seen lesbian sports bars in NYC or SF.
Hmmm, I thought Austin was the Berkeley of Texas.
Austin has it’s gayberhood on south 4th street right next to the warehouse district on 5th and the world famous 6th street.
Dallas and Ft.Worth have multiple gayberhoods the most well known oldest and most expensive with multiple million dollar condos and homes is Oaklawn it butts up pun intended to the Park Cities by far the wealthiest cities in Texas. Bishop Arts is another well known gayhood that also has trendy expensive bars,condos shops and restaurants. Once the gays move into an area it’s gentrified with out fail. UT Austin is known as the Berkley of the South the city of “Austun” pronounced like Boston properly by locals is very much Portland of the South.
I have heard many lesbians say they will never watch sports.
NYC is loaded with lesbian bars. The most famous is Henrietta Hudson 30+ years in operation. If you have a lesbian wingwoman as a male you are welcomed as not a threat. I go to NYC multiple times per year weeks at a time. From time to time I invite my former student and now best female friend. We went to Henritta’s it was a 40 min wait to get in so busy in a Friday night. I think people underestimate the size of the LGBT community and the fact that they are young, have high amounts of disposable income and like to party. I would not hesitate to open a LGBT bar in one of the local gayberhoods I am positive it would make bank but with the drop of a hat bars could be shut down for any variants opening a bar or any other on site service industry establishment is foolish in this economy. I’ll stick with real estate, and energy industry endeavors both of which have positive upsides at nearly all times.
Yes, lesbian bars, but not lesbian sports bars.
Gay bars in general are going away since younger people don’t segregate themselves, and it’s considered better to be gay. Even in SF, it’s going in the direction.
