KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The hype for women's sports has been building in the metro for the past few years, and now there's a place being built for this budding fan base.

"The Dub KC" is a first-of-its-kind bar for the KC metro, specializing in celebrating women's sports.

"Aesthetically wise, to be honest, we're going to be a little bit lighter and brighter than a typical sports bar if you want to think of it that way," owner and co-founder Monica Brady said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The fever pitch in Kansas City surrounding sports speaks for itself—especially at local bars where almost every game is seen, heard, and celebrated.

But the silence does not go unnoticed.

“The amount of times we have gone to a bar to watch a women’s game and had to ask, ‘Hey, can you put it on?’ Let alone we are not going to hear it at all,” Rachel Glenn said.

She and her wife, Monica Brady, are hoping to change the game in Kansas City by creating a space that sounds, feels, and looks like it is made for them.
