#sober bars

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Bars that offer only alcohol-free options have opened in Kelowna and Metro Vancouver, as they hope to stir up the province's drinks scene with a dry twist. Bevees in Port Coquitlam and Sobar in Kelowna believe they are the first "sober bars" in British Columbia, with both promising a sophisticated, inclusive bar atmosphere without the expectation — or, indeed, option — to drink alcohol.

Raising a Glass to Inclusivity: The Rise of Sober Bars and Mocktails in the U.S.

There's a growing trend across the U.S. that I’m loving: sober bars serving drinks with zero trace of alcohol. These spaces offer a fun, safe environment to meet, socialize, and enjoy creative 'mocktails' without the risks associated with alcohol. For someone like me, managing scleroderma and dealing with adverse reactions to alcohol—especially beer—this trend is a game-changer. It’s exciting to see more restaurants expanding their menus with mocktails, making me feel included in the social experience with friends and family. The rise of sober bars has a powerful stake in the ground: prioritizing consumers' health and fostering a sense of belonging, both physically and mentally.

went out for drinks last night with moss and some of my coworkers and I’m always surprised by 1. how drunk some people get and 2. how easily some people strike conversations up with strangers
