It's a big moment for Pittsburgh and women in sports. The city is now home to its first women's sports watch bar called Title 9, which opened its doors in East Liberty. The place was inaugurated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that included local female athletes from Pittsburgh Passion football, Pittsburgh Riveters soccer, and East End Debs softball, as reported by WTAE.
The bar is situated on Centre Avenue and comes complete with imagery celebrating local female sporting talents. Seven TV screens are prominently dedicated to broadcasting women’s sports, ranging from the WNBA to soccer and rugby. Its owner, Sherree Goldstein, enthusiastically shared her vision for the bar—"We're just highlighting all about women and girls," she said, according to an interview with WTAE. Even with plans for an upstairs deck to overlook East Liberty, the venue has already become a gathering point for sports aficionados.
Sherree Goldstein remarked, "It's so important in Pittsburgh because Pittsburgh is such a big sports town," she stated, as reported by WPXI. The sentiment reflects her pride in being part of a trend where women’s sports are gaining well-deserved mainstream attention. And speaking of mainstream, Title 9 hopes to draw the crowds in daily from 4-10 p.m., except Tuesdays and Wednesdays when, unusually for a bar, it's closed.
