The Bars League FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Bars League?

The Bars League is a monthly subscription club celebrating legendary bars and watering holes across the Midwest. Each month, members receive a premium-quality T-shirt featuring an iconic bar, designed exclusively for The Bars League.

How does the subscription work?

Join The Bars League, and each month you’ll receive a premium T-shirt featuring that month’s selected bar.

Your first order is charged at signup. After that, your subscription renews on the 1st of each month for the next featured bar shirt.

Members can manage their subscription through their account portal.


What kind of shirts do you use?

We use premium, soft-blend shirts for comfort and durability. Sizing runs true to U.S. unisex standards.

Do bars get paid for being featured?

Yes. Each featured design is created in collaboration with the selected bar. A portion of every shirt sold goes back to that featured bar, helping support real local bars and neighborhood establishments.

What is the Hall of Fame?

The Hall of Fame is where past featured bar shirts live on. Select shirts from previous featured bars may be available there while supplies last.

Can I buy past shirts if I missed them?

Yes. Select past designs may be available in the Hall of Fame collection. Availability may be limited, so don’t wait if you see one you like.

Do you ship outside the U.S.?

At launch, we ship across the United States. International shipping may be added later.

When will I be charged?

Your first charge happens when you sign up for The Bars League.

After that, subscriptions renew on the 1st of each month for the next featured bar shirt.

This helps make sure you never miss that month’s release.

I’m a new member and was charged again — why?

If you joined The Bars League near the end of the month, your first charge covers that month’s featured bar shirt.

Subscriptions renew on the 1st of each month for the next featured bar shirt. So if you signed up late in the month, your next renewal may happen shortly after your initial signup.

Don’t worry — you’ll receive a shirt for every month you’re charged.

Can I pause or cancel my subscription?

Yes. Through your Bars League member portal, you can manage your subscription at any time, including canceling before your next renewal.

What if the shirt doesn’t fit?

If you need an exchange for sizing, reach out to our support team within 14 days of delivery and we’ll do our best to help.
