[3] Jaylon Thompson of USA Today has called the business "a unique concept" with an owner who "aims to build community, empower and promote women in sports".

[7][8] She conceived the idea after watching the 2018 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament in a crowded sports bar on mute.

[3] Inspired by her girlfriend, the United States women's national soccer team's fight for equal pay,[3] and the success of the MeToo movement, Nguyen started the business with her life savings of about $27,000, $40,000 in loans,[9] and support from a Kickstarter campaign,[4] which raised $105,135 by its conclusion in March 2022.

[3] In January 2023, the bar hosted a Lunar New Year celebration and benefit for the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon featuring a performance by White Lotus Lion Dance.

[12][13] In 2023, Nguyen was one of 18 Portland industry professionals deemed "rising stars" by the restaurant resource and trade publication StarChefs.
