My Experience
I attended one of these events back in May, and let me tell you—it was an absolute blast. There were three non-alcoholic cocktails to choose from, and you even got to pick your drinking vessel. Naturally, I went with the camera-shaped cup (because, come on, how could I not?).
The vibe was electric: fun music, a cozy-yet-buzzing atmosphere, and a crowd of people who were there to connect, laugh, and create. I met new friends, chatted with Stephanie (the amazing owner of Sober AF), and left feeling refreshed in a way I hadn’t from a night out in a long time. Whether you come solo or roll in with your sober squad, this event is an instant mood booster.
About Sober AF Bottle Shop
If you haven’t visited yet, Sober AF Bottle Shop is more than just a store—it’s a vibe. It’s a bottle shop and social space dedicated to zero-proof beverages and inclusive community. I first covered its opening here, and since then it’s only grown in popularity, even landing a feature on KING 5 Evening.
That’s thanks to owner Stephanie, whose story is both raw and inspiring. After more than 20 years of extreme social drinking, endless blackouts, failed relationships, and the crushing weight of shame, Stephanie reached a breaking point. A near-fatal car accident, struggles with mental health, and the pandemic all led her to finally embrace sobriety.
Now, she’s created Sober AF as the kind of space she wished she had when she was terrified to quit drinking. It’s not just a shop—it’s a community hub where anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol can feel welcome, supported, and celebrated.
In her own words:
“Sober AF is built for me and it is here for me to share with EVERYONE. You are not alone and I will be here for you and I will do it with you!” – Stephanie, Founder of Sober AF
Why You Should Go
Because nights out should be fun, social, and memorable—even without alcohol. Build, Sip & Chill hits all the right notes: creativity, community, and connection. And let’s be honest—when’s the last time you got to sip on a craft mocktail while building LEGOs with friends?
