Two local women are working to bring Austin its first bar focused on female sports. Debra Hallum and Marlene Du Plessis are the entrepreneurs behind the planned ATX Women’s Sports Pub — WSP for short. The pub has been in the works since the beginning of 2024 and was supposed to debut this fall but an opening date is now expected in early 2025. Hallum acts as the co-owner/managing partner of ATX WSP while Du Plessis still juggles the pub with working full-time in education.
