The Olympics are underway in France, but in Chicago, a great place to catch Team USA's women athletes is at Whiskey Girl Tavern at 6318 N. Clark St. in Edgewater! As Chicago’s liveliest women’s sports bar, people from all over the city come to Whiskey Girl Tavern to watch and support women’s athletes. Thanks to a DPD grant, owners Heather and Christina Roberts created a vibrant space for watch parties and special events — often featuring appearances from athletes like the Chicago Red Stars who come by to show their support. #builtbychi
