Join us on Zoom to hear Jen Barnes, founder of the Rough & Tumble, a sports bar and restaurant in Old Ballard that prioritizes televising women’s athletics. Barnes is a former rower for Green Lake Crew and her pub features 15 televisions and seating for 160 people. It’s a safe space for people to watch women’s sports and has an all-ages section so young girl athletes can see a reflection of themselves on the screen while grabbing a bite to eat after a practice or game. The pub televises women’s sports such as pro hockey, roller derby and Alpine skiing, and also white-water kayaking, rock climbing and UFC. People can also watch men’s sports, especially the Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders and Kraken. Sounds like a must-visit pub!
