Pride Month is coming to an end and I'd be remiss to not mention this amazing LGBTQ+ and women owned sports bar here in The Melrose District of Phoenix. Title 9 Sports Grill is Phoenix's first sports bar dedicated to women's athletics. It features 22 screens, a "Trophy Room" honoring local athletes, and a menu prioritizing women-owned breweries. Co-founded by former athletes Audrey Corley and Kat Moore, it also serves drinks named after iconic players. The Concept: Named after the landmark 1972 civil rights legislation (Title IX), the bar's mission is to elevate the visibility and celebrate the achievements of female athletes. The Vibe: The interior operates almost like a mini-museum, featuring historic photos with QR codes for background information and an entry wall plastered with donated medals and trophies from women in the Valley. The interior color scheme that subtly reflects the lesbian pride flag. The Drinks: Their beers on tap, wines, and spirits are heavily sourced from women-owned businesses and breweries, such as Phoenix's own Greenwood Brewing. I definitely recommend the Greenwood Hazy IPA and the Maher Mule (a play on the Moscow mule). TVs & Broadcasting: While women's games (like the WNBA, women's soccer, and softball) take priority, the bar is inclusive and will play men's games upon request, provided no major women's events are live. read more

We love Title 9!! Great atmosphere, great food and drinks. Even better service. They even aired the Winter Olympics, which as a former skater I have never been able to enjoy watching a niche sport I love out at the bar with friends. Excited for more Mercury games! read more

There is no better place to watch women's sports in the city. I was lucky enough to watch a Mercury playoff game here and even though I was rooting for the wrong team , the atmosphere was electric!! I had the chicken tenders for my meal and they were excellent! I wouldn't say chicken tenders is representative of the quality of food, however based on the energy there alone I would watch anything there ! read more

Went back again today and got some pics. The food is so great, the restaurant is so comfortable and clean, and the staff Is amazing. One of my favorite places read more

I absolutely love the atmosphere and the design and idea behind this place. My only "complaint" would be the food is just so-so. I feel like a good bar needs exceptional food to keep you there. The ranch is probably house made, but in my opinion, it's not very good. Really good ranch is something I look for in a sports bar. The burgers were mid - could have been much better. Seemed like a frozen patty. Queso was okay.. Genuinely only sharing in hopes it improves. Maybe I'm just too much of a foodie. Definitely will be back for drinks and vibe. read more

This was my first time visiting this spot. One of my friends held an event here and I really loved the spot. As soon as I saw okra on the menu, it was a win win! I was able to meet Audrey the owner and such a down to earth person. We set out on the patio and if need be, there's heaters and swinging egg chairs. There's plenty of space for gatherings and entertainment. Parking is conveniently located right behind the bar so that's also a plus. It may be a little small during the night time but doable. The waitresses were attentive and kept checking on us. The only thing I didn't do was go inside so I couldn't tell you how that looks. The menu and prices are fair and the food was hot and tasty. The grilled cheese my friend ordered was cheesy. No one had complaints about anything. If you're looking for a fun filled time, I suggest this place. read more

A family-friendly sports grill dedicated to women's sports is just what this city needed! The name is derived from the Title IX federal legislation which was passed in 1972, giving women athletes an equal opportunity in sports from elementary school to college. There, you'll find women's sporting events displayed on multiple screens (when available), and a menu featuring items named after famous female athletes and drinks from female-owned breweries and distilleries. The walls are adorned with pictures of iconic Arizona female athletes, trophies, medals and lots to look at. It's located where Short Leash Hotdogs & Taproom used to be. There's a neat outdoors patio that's dog friendly - plenty of seating both inside and outside. Service was very friendly and the food was good. They have some vegetarian options. Dedicated parking lot at the back. read more

I've been meaning to check this place out for a while since it's right in my neighborhood, and I finally stopped in on a Friday night to watch a Suns game with some friends and wow, I'm so glad I did! The staff is super friendly, the place is spotless and stylish, and the TVs are fantastic, honestly way better than Zipps. The seating, service, and overall vibe are also a big step up. I'll admit, the name might make you wonder if it's more of a "ladies' spot," but trust me, it's an awesome neighborhood sports bar and grill for everyone. Totally welcoming, laid-back, and family friendly. It's just a great place to grab food, enjoy a drink (or two), and catch a game in a fun, comfortable atmosphere. Solid 5 stars from me! I'll definitely be back, and next time I'll remember to take some food pics instead of getting completely caught up in the game and good company. read more

Ended up in Arizona for a couple hours before my flight home and decided to explore. Walked into this cute women's sports bar filled with trophies hanging from the ceiling, team pictures, retro stadium seats and tvs everywhere to tune into whatever game is on! Great bar food and drinks. The staff was so welcoming! Great for family with kids too! Outdoor covered seating and lots of parking. If you're ever in the Melrose area, give it a whirl! read more

PRO TIP: ALWAYS CHECK THEIR WEBSITE BEFORE GOING, BECAUSE THEY ARE BRILLIANT AND WILL POST WHAT SPORTS WILL BE AIRING. Don't show up clueless and then get annoyed bc baseball isn't on (I swear this isn't to anyone specific, just saying.... take advantage of how proactive and informative their website is!) Their TVs are HIGH QUALITY and they have a zillion of them. I was accidentally there (didn't take my own pro tip advice) during the WNBA playoffs, but it was the best accident for me because I LOVE sports and the energy of that crowd was insane. Honestly, it outperformed the bulk of any sports bar I've been to in the Valley, and I've been to A LOT!! It was so fun, despite the loss, the energy stayed up through the end of the game, and extra perk, there were no brooding men sulking around after their team lost, haha! I think I found my new home. Now onto the food - be sure to scan the full list of burgers/sandwiches because the gem you are going to want is the Whiskey Onion Burger, but I didn't see it until the last second because it's not at the top of the list with the other two burger options. When I say this is one of the best burgers I've ever had, I am not lying to you! I was skeptical of the potato chip and the arugula... I'm telling you right now... DO NOT MODIFY!! They know what they are doing and that magical mix of ingredients results in a masterpiece. I cannot wait to go back, there's so much more I want to try on the menu. Again, loved the crowd, the TVs, literally everything!! One thing is I wish they had more restrooms! They only have two, in the entire bar, so when it's busy, expect a line. Don't wait until it's urgent to get your booty over to the bathrooms! Thank you to the owners who decided to open this remarkable space, my expectations were exceeded beyond belief! I was so blown away that I totally failed taking any pics to document the incredible time I had. Next time...!! read more

Found this spot from watching a news segment and it was my mom and I first trip together to Phoenix for the Women's Final Four. Great atmosphere and supporting women sports. read more

Title 9 Sports Grill - Inside fun! - Sports Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

When I heard that Phoenix was finally getting its first women-focused sports bar, I couldn't wait to check it out. From the moment I stepped in, it was clear that this place is all about celebrating women in sports. The decor features an amazing collection of sports memorabilia, and even the drinks are named after legendary female athletes. Our group chose to dine on the patio, which had a vibrant, fun atmosphere. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outside, and we didn't have to wait at all to be seated. We ordered the chicken tender basket, cauliflower wing basket, and waffle fries. The cauliflower wings were definitely the highlight--generous portions with a crispy, flavorful breading. Plus, each basket came with three different dipping sauces to mix and match, which was a fun touch. The cocktail and mocktail menu was impressive--especially as a mocktail connoisseur, I highly recommend the Sue Bird. It's the perfect drink for anyone who wants something refreshing and unique. On top of all that, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was quick. I also appreciated the great vegetarian options and the ample parking available in the back. read more

Title 9 is an amazing addition to the Melrose district! I've been here a couple of times and every visit is such a pleasure. Especially loved the energy during WNBA season! The food is honestly so good -- I really enjoyed the wings the last time I came. The service is always quick, and they have a great selection of cocktails. I feel so safe here, and the vibes are always great. Will be back soon! read more

Fantastic service and food. Clean the tables and add interesting sports stuff to the walls. Lots of big screen TVs. Audrey, the owner, welcomed our group from California, Mississippi, and Missouri. read more

Title 9 Sports Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Hands down my favorite place to catch women's sports! The staff and atmosphere are inviting and scream "I'm rooting for the girls!" lol. The bartenders are phenomenal and typically exceed my expectations with every beverage I've ordered. I'm a fan of their fries, chicken wings, and tenders though I wish the wings were tossed in the sauces instead of plain with the sauces on the side. The wings are always fried hard (not dry!!), the tenders are tender and flavorful, and the fries are always perfectly seasoned -- not too salty. I've also had the whiskey onion burger which was great but not as filling as i hoped. I gave 4 stars because I do believe there's room for improvement on a couple of the other menu items i.e. the pimento cheese dip was pretty bland, mac & cheese had a great cheese flavor but needed depth and was a bit runny. Overall, this place is worth a visit or two (in my case many lol) and i cannot wait to see how they continue to grow and evolve into a Valley staple in years to come. read more

This review is based on nothing but love! I want this place to do amazing! I am just going to always give my truthful opinion and this is based on my experience from 3/20 My gf and I went around 5 got a table right away. We decided to sit outside it was beautiful out. The tables do need to be sanded down big time for sure have to be careful for splinters and snagging your clothes on the edge of the wooden tables. Not the most comfortable seats but was fine for a quick beer and slider. The outside area is super cute great if you want to sit and chat the inside is a bit louder but it's expected with music and games on. Our server was Astrid who was amazing! Super nice and friendly. Now to the food. I got the Thai slider and my gf got the pimento slider. We also ordered the chips and waffle fries basket. The Thai burger was ok they did do a great job on my request for extra crispy back (IYKYK) the slider is more like a small burger paddy on a slider bun. The bun was super dry need to be toasted with butter or something was very crumbly bread. The sauce was a bbq sauce with a peanut sauce. So sometimes you got a bite of bbq and sometimes it's was a big glob of peanut sauce. If they mix the sauce together if think it would make it way better. 6/10 The pimento burger had a big onion ring and pimento cheese in the middle of that. The cheese was good but it was only in the of the onion ring so not consistent when eating. 6/10 The onion ring was hard to eat so ended up having to take the onion part out. Now for the fries and chips... the waffles fries are spot on! Every good made fresh. Highly recommend the waffle fries 10/10! The chips I would skip. 0/10 they were old not fresh and hard to chew. we did let Astrid know. She did bring us some new ones, but those were also cold. Hard to chew just felt old. HouseHouse made chips normally should be made to order. It comes with 4 sauces and the cheese sauce was super runny not good at all. The rest of the sauces were good. We also ordered a beer that was nice and cold!! I think with some tweaking which I am sure they will do it's only been open a week. The food will get better. It's not bad but in my opinion can be better. The inside is a great vibe. For sure a great place to come hang out grab a drink and watch a game! Again all of this is said with love no hate at all! read more

Great food! Great drinks! Great service! A little loud but it is a sports bar!!!! We love to get some wings and then head over to Boycott for first Wednesday burlesque!!!! Pretty much a perfect night! read more

The staff was excellent and super friendly. Nachos could have been great but the cheese was cold and the ground beef was just a crumbled up precooked hamburger. The onion rings were some of the best I've ever had! The margarita was good. I love the concept but only men's sports were on and theming was lacking (still very much the bones of short leash) I'll be interested to return after they've had more time to establish themselves. read more

Writing this fully with love and wanting this place to flourish, that being said let's get to the meat of it. Came with my girlfriend on Sunday and ordered some cauliflower wings and a Coca Cola and the cola was the best part of it. The cauliflower wings were a little gritty and unflavorful and caked in cornstarch to the point where they were also gooey in the middle. Staff was really nice and very accommodating and we really appreciated them for that! Vibes are nice, that's pretty much the best of it! Hopefully the food situation can get a bit of an overhaul soon! read more

The vibe at this sports bar is awesome. Women's sports on everywhere. The sliders were delicious. The onion rings and sauce were fantastic. Outside patio is the place to be. Service is chill and attentive. I'd go back any time! read more

Probably good if you are wanting to watch only mercury games. Any other teams and you have to go sit in a corner to watch it on TVs smaller than the one in your living room. Manager was abrasive and unwelcoming. As a lesbian couple my wife and I felt very uncomfortable here and will not be back, unfortunate because we were really looking forward to this place being a regular spot. read more

My family almost exclusively watches women's sports so it's nice to have a place that's regularly airing them. I appreciate the vibes and everyone is super friendly.
