Minneapolis women’s sports bar wins national honor

Minnesota's first women's sports bar brought home a trophy of its own last week.

Driving the news: A Bar of Their Own, which opened in Minneapolis' Seward neighborhood in 2024, was named "Best Local Sports Bar" in the latest USA Today Sports Readers' Choice Awards.

What they're saying: USA Today gave the "groundbreaking" spot kudos for "offering a full food and drink menu in a bright, inclusive space."

• "The bar proudly shows 'ALL women's sports, ALL the time,' creating a community driven atmosphere that feels different from traditional sports bars," the publication wrote.

The bottom line: "Fans love the mission, the welcoming staff, and the sense of belonging."

If you go: A Bar of Their Own, located at 2207 Franklin Ave. E., is open Wednesday through Sunday.

• Hours vary by day.
