Episode 52
What do beer-soaked bleachers, immigrant taverns, and feminist bar owners have in common? They all shaped the modern American sports bar. From Palermo’s Tavern in St. Louis, often recognized as America’s first sports bar, to The Sports Bra in Portland, the first bar dedicated entirely to women’s sports, this episode traces how these spaces became America’s unofficial living rooms. Host Kavitha Davidson explores how bars once built for men evolved into inclusive hubs that celebrate women’s, immigrant, and queer sports culture.
