SPORTS DRINK was founded in 2020 by Andrew Stephens, a Baton Rouge native and New Orleans hooligan. SPORTS DRINK is the brand continuation of Armchair Media, a podcast network focused on the nexus of sports & comedy, but has since leaned further into live event production, especially in the world of comedy.
SPORTS DRINK opened a brick & mortar location on Toledano Street in New Orleans in April 2023, sharing a space with Junk Drawer Coffee. After more than a year of successful partnership, Junk Drawer moved to 2045 Broadway, for a larger cafe space & roasting facility. As of August 2024, SPORTS DRINK took over all cafe operations on Toledano Street and will be expanding to four nights of comedy per week in 2025.
