Hinge and hoops: Behind Blazers, Williamsburg's first women-owned sports bar * Brooklyn Paper
"Blazers, Williamsburg's first women-owned sports bar, is dedicated to crafting a safe, community-centered space for women's sports fans to gather and celebrate the athletes who too often go unrecognized."
"I was having coffee with Chandler, and I was complaining about my job, and I said, 'I want to open a women's sports bar,' I wasn't even fully serious about it, because that's a crazy idea. But Chandler, to her credit, [said], 'I'll do that with you.'"
"I think that we were really just looking for that fulfillment and that bigger why, of why we were waking up every day,"
Blazers opened at 308 Bedford Ave in Williamsburg in December 2025 as the neighborhood's first women-owned sports bar. The venue aims to provide a safe, community-centered gathering place for fans of women's sports and to celebrate athletes who receive too little recognition. Founders Caroline Kane, Debany Dávila, and Chandler Robertson brought varied professional backgrounds—former lawyers and a talent agent—and connected in August 2023 after Kane matched separately with each on Hinge. Early bonding included attending a New York Liberty game together, and Kane's idea to open a women's sports bar became a shared venture.
