Just off the Pacific Coast Highway, a line around the block heralded the presence of an exciting new spot in Long Beach—the state’s first sports bar dedicated to the women’s game.
Watch Me is not only the first such location in the state, but just 1 of 5 in the whole world, according to local news.
Resting on the 6500 block of Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach, Mean Eddy and her partner Jax Diener opened the bar after months of laboring.
“We look at the sea of people and realize the need is here,” Eddy told NBC 4. “It’s been a labor of love. We’ve put our heart and souls into it for months and months.”
“It’s an exciting moment,” said Rex Richardson, Long Beach Mayor, who attended the opening with his wife and two daughters. “I just wanted to be here because it’s so important and it’s important to me personally as a dad of two athletes—two girl athletes.”

Live reporting from NBC 4 shows the bar packed to the gills, with a line to get a table stretching around the adjacent corner yoga studio, evidencing an interest in women’s sports among the community.
At the moment, Watch Me is operating on a special 9 to 9 schedule for the Paris Olympics, but will return to normal operating hours when the games conclude.
