Our vision

We’re in the early stages of creating your next favorite neighborhood bar: friendly faces, inviting atmosphere, and women’s sports on the televisions. This bar will be an inclusive space for everyone in the community to celebrate the achievements of women in sports and support this growing industry.

Detroit Loves

Women’s Sports

Bar IX will be a space for anyone who wants to gather to support and celebrate women’s sports – new fans or old, casual or committed. This space will be family friendly, so people of all ages can watch women’s sports alongside generations who paved the way and won Title IX victories that brought us Bar IX today.

Pledge your support

Bar IX is entering its crowdfunding era! Pledge your support right now for first-access to exclusive rewards when we open our big campaign in June 2026. We're asking for a small contribution of $1 to hold your place and share your ideas of what types of rewards you would like to see us provide.
