Wrigleyville Is Getting a Women's Sports Bar — and Level Up Sporting Club Is Almost Here

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Wrigleyville · April 23, 2026

Wrigleyville's bar scene is about to welcome a trailblazing new addition, and it's one the whole neighborhood can rally around. Level Up Sporting Club, a first-of-its-kind bar dedicated to celebrating women's sports, is slated to open at 3343 N. Clark St. in the first week of May — and the energy behind it is already electric.

At the helm is Clarissa Flores, a former Northwestern University basketball player turned hospitality executive, who has spent nearly two decades in the industry and is now channeling that passion into something deeply personal. Flores specifically chose Wrigleyville for its unmatched energy as Chicago's premier entertainment corridor — calling it "the O.G." of Chicago nightlife. The investor team behind Level Up is made up entirely of queer women who played college sports, including Ashleen Bracey, the women's basketball head coach at University of Illinois Chicago. Flores' mission is clear: build a space where every person who walks through the door feels like family, with a special focus on uplifting underserved communities.

With the remodel wrapping up and a liquor license in the pipeline, Level Up Sporting Club is on track to become one of the most talked-about new spots on Clark Street this spring. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the Sky, Red Stars, or any women's team in between, this is your new home base. Keep an eye on 3343 N. Clark St. and get ready to level up your game-day experience!
