Venues are notorious for prioritizing men’s sports over women’s sports, often ignoring women’s sports altogether while airing games. Luckily, several bars in New York City are changing that bias and celebrating women in athletics, with three bars dedicated to showing women’s sports opening in the city since last year. Here’s where to gather to watch the Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final Four and NCAA Women’s Championship this March (and April, technically).
Rounders Back after a temporary closure due to fire, Rounders will be playing the women’s games on their indoor TVs in Greenpoint. An outdoor screen also streams NCAA games. A small menu of burgers and fried bites can keep guests satiated between games.
Wilka’s Sports Bar Next to the newly reopened New Museum, Wilka’s will be showing all NCAA women’s games, Fridays through Mondays, plus a slew of additional women’s sports. Swing by for $5 house lager during happy hour on weekdays from 4 p. m.
