Everyone watches women's sports. And if you don't, get it together. But if you are still looking for a home to watch your favorite team, Athena Keke’s is on its way.
Founded by Claudia “Clau” Capriles and Alexandra “Al” Murray, the coming Clinton Hill bar will soon be streaming women's sports in a welcoming, all-inclusive setting. However, instead of waiting for the doors to open officially, the concept is popping up to celebrate one of New York's greatest teams: the WNBA Championship-winning New York Liberty.
On June 25, Athena Keke's is taking over their soon-to-be neighbors' bar, the tropical hotspot that is Casanara, to pregame the Liberty's Pride Game. The pop-up will be shaking up cocktails featuring queer local brands, including Atheras and Pollinator Spirits, N/A bevs, snacks and more. You can literally get your game face on with glitter freckles from Fazit or slap on a Pride sticker or two. And don't forget to stick around for the raffle, your chance to win two tickets to the next game, with all proceeds benefiting NYC animal rescues. And if you still haven't got your ticket, the bar is offering group tickets for $45, so you can join your new crew.
The party is free to attend, so grab a drink, socialize with the community, and, above all, go Liberty!
