Babe’s was started by college bestie rugby co-captains, Nora and Torra. We are passionate about creating a space that celebrates women athletes and their supporters. We’re excited to see you at Babe’s!

  • we’re located at 3017 W. Armitage Ave in Logan Square and our hours are:

    • Tuesday-Thursday 4-11PM

    • Friday 4PM-12AM

    • Saturday-Sunday 12PM-12AM

    (Make sure you aren’t headed to the Portage Park institution, Babe’s on Milwaukee!)

    We’re a short walk from the California Blue Line stop, and near the Armitage and Cali bus stops. There’s free parking on Armitage in front of the bar.

  • We only show women’s sports. This is a space built for and by fans of women’s sports, and anyone who identifies as such is welcome at Babe’s!

  • As a Chicago sports bar, we’re proud to partner with Chicago’s pro women’s teams: the Sky, Stars, Tempest, Winds, and Windy City Rollers. We plan to show all of their games and be the meetup spot for fans when they have an away game. We’re also planning to periodically show other sports like volleyball, softball, cyclocross, gymnastics, and others.  

    If we’re able to obtain the commercial license and there’s demand, we’ll show whatever women’s sports are requested! If we don’t have the event on our programming calendar, fill out the form below the calendar to request it at least two weeks prior to the event. This gives us enough time to ensure we have the streaming rights and capabilities and that we can add it to our programming schedule. We won’t be able to show every event requested, but will do our best to meet demand for a wide variety of sports.

  • yes we are - and we card to ensure everyone is of age. this includes kids and babies, we love them but they can’t come into the bar.

  • nope! we only play women’s sports, it’s literally our whole thing. please don’t ask us to make an exception, we have drinks to be making and women’s sports to be watching!

  • anyone who wants to watch women’s sports is welcome at Babe’s!

  • we have snacks behind the bar, but no kitchen. we welcome you to bring in your own food and have so many great local spots within walking distance! we especially love our neighbors at Yaba’s 💕🥙

  • We’re fully staffed and are not accepting new applications right now, but thank you for your interest!
