EP 282: Women's Sports Bar Owner Jen Barnes Sep 03, 2024

Show notes

Jen Barnes is the owner of Rough & Tumble - Seattle's pub for women's sports. Jen is a life-long athlete, superfan, entrepreneur and tireless champion of women on and off the field.

Barnes created a magical hub for women's sports, described as the most intimate stadium experience Seattle has to offer: cold beer within reach, a full menu that knows both classic and hometeam favorites, and a stunning space that's anything but the cheap seats.

She shares the story of how Rough & Tumble came to be, how Seattle was the perfect fit and gives us the inside scoop on what her customers/rabid sports fans like to eat, drink and watch.

We also chat about the Seattle Reign, the growth of women's soccer and her role in bringing a new USL W league to Ballard. Plus, the feel good moment of the week!
