Ohio's first-ever women's sports bar

Root for Women.

The W Sports Bar.

Cleveland women’s sports fans did not have a consistent space to call home to rally with other fans and show their love of the game. We took it upon ourselves to change that.

Celebrate
Women's Sports

At The W, we champion and elevate the visibility and accessibility of women’s sports by offering a dedicated space for fans.

For our
Community

Welcoming and empowering environment for all sports fans, regardless of gender identity, by creating a space that celebrates diversity and the power of our shared passion for sports.

Amplify
Voices

Amplify diverse voices within sports and share our collective passion, celebrating the stories, achievements, and impact of our favorite athletes and teams.
The W Sports Bar

The W Sports Bar is Cleveland’s first and only women’s sports bar, proudly spotlighting women’s sports. Located in the heart of the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood, we offer a welcoming space to catch every WNBA, NWSL, NCAA, and international women’s game on our screens. Whether you’re here for a watch party, trivia night, private event, or our signature cocktails and fan-favorite flatbreads, The W is where community, sports, and good vibes collide.

We’re LGBTQ+ inclusive, locally owned, and dedicated to growing the game for all. Come experience Cleveland’s home for women’s sports and the fans who love them.

Who We Are

The W Sports Bar is a collaboration born from a shared love of women's sports, Cleveland, and the belief that our community deserves a safe and inclusive space to cheer together. From the minds behind State Champs Clothing Co and Brewnuts, this group has come together to bring this long-overdue third space to life.

Ally Eclarin and Cassy Kopp are the heart and hustle of the operation – managing the day-to-day, social, marketing, merch, pouring everything they have into making The W a home for fellow WoSpo fans. Rounding out the ownership group is Shelley Pippin aka Mrs. Brewnuts.
