Portland native Jenny Nguyen is counting down the days to opening the nation’s first women’s sports bar, and will watch her concept of providing a safe social space to watch sport become a reality. For the former basketball player turned chef, the idea of a sports bar for women began as a joke with her girlfriend Liz in 2018, but as the world changed with the impact of a pandemic so Jenny changed her thinking. That this idea could actually be a viable business with restaurant and bar would be a brilliant idea whichever way you looked at it. As a trained chef, the notion of having her own restaurant was a natural career move. And combined with her love of sport and passion for supporting women, Jenny is making it happen. The Sports Bra will open its doors on North East Broadway in early April 2022 and there is sure to be a demand for their signature cocktail—Title IX.
