The couple opened the tavern in July 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor us, Christina and I were both athletes and we both love sports, all kind of sports, and I think that it\u2019s not so much that our focus is playing women\u2019s sports, but it\u2019s in having an environment that is just a great place to watch sports in general,\u201d Heather said. \u201cOn top of that, we do want to focus on playing women\u2019s sports where we can because I think there\u2019s a need for that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both emphasized the fact they don\u2019t advertise themselves as a women-owned bar. The couple brands the tavern as \u201ca bar for the rest of us,\u201d as their favorite <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/whiskey-girl-tavern-chicago?hrid=RJjzB4AU-sFgbRxuC5xmOw&amp;utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&amp;utm_medium=copy_link&amp;utm_source=(direct)\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yelp quote puts it<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though located in a casual setting, the tavern\u2019s space is huge <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> decked out with a massive backroom that features several pool tables, televisions and couches. According to Christina, the couple has plans for expansion, aiming to add another bar in the back room and an outdoor space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cParticularly on the women\u2019s sports side, we really want to have partnerships with some of the professional teams,\u201d Heather said. \u201cIn particular, the (Chicago) Sky, the (Chicago) Red Stars, even the college teams <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we\u2019re good friends with (Northwestern softball coach Kate Drohan).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Heather, these partnerships would involve teams and players coming to watch parties for other local teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The spacious backroom and front bar already allow for the tavern to host watch parties. For NFL Super Wild Card Weekend last month, the tavern hosted a watch party for the matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills, the latter of which the couple are fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Heather, one of the fondest watch-party memories she has in the tavern\u2019s young history is of 2022\u2019s playoff matchup between the Sky and the Connecticut Sun of the WNBA. She said it was exciting to see a fanbase that normally doesn\u2019t have a huge platform get together and watch a series that came down to the wire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with starting any business, the couple had to clear numerous hurdles in getting off the ground. Outside of regular issues faced by bars, the tavern has run into a common problem consumers have with accessing women\u2019s sports: the ability to stream games without running into blackouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUnfortunately the biggest challenge is that most of these women\u2019s sports leagues are making broadcast deals with streaming companies, and those are not available to commercial venues,\u201d Heather said. \u201cWe have every package you can buy, but those are not available and you are not allowed as a commercial business to play that. If we hosted watch parties and things, they could send us a cease-and-desist letter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The community provides a solid foundation and support system for the owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe people are amazing, this neighborhood is really great and this is a safe place for everyone,\u201d said Monica Howe, a staff member at the tavern. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re gay, straight, trans, whatever you are, everyone is really welcoming. \u2026 I really like that atmosphere.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whiskey Girl Tavern is open 5-11 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 5 p.m.-1 a.m. Fridays, noon-1 a.m. Saturdays, noon-9 p.m. Sundays and is closed Tuesdays. The bar is located at 6318 N. Clark St. You can follow the tavern on Instagram at the handle <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/whiskeygirltavern\/?hl=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@whiskeygirltavern<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The couple encourages fans to show up and show out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe biggest thing is if you want places like (this), just support it,\u201d Heather said. \u201cIf you want places to show content, you\u2019ve got to show up and support them and be there to watch it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Tristan Tucker is a Sports Media graduate student at Medill.
