I have a friend who doesn't drink, and I'm curious what she thinks about this. My guess is that she won't see the point.

I'm also wondering if being in a bar without alcohol feels depressing ('cause alcohol kind of blurs the awkwardness).


A chicken broth martini!

I had an idea (apparently this has been done) of having a water bar: just different waters imported from around the world.

People like to gather. Why not?


What a crock. But it would probably be profitable, and filled with people who are talking about how other people should be doing more to minimize their footprint as they sip $15 glasses of water transported from the other side of the globe.

Yes if it had a good DJ and dance floor. Maybe themed nights like 80s, 90s, 2000s.

I'd say no, but then I lived in the Middle East for a few years and got used to not drinking when I went out. So, maybe I would if the bar food was great. I don't love sweet drinks though, so I wouldn't spend money on a mocktail.

These are huge in Colorado. Great places too. No fake people going there getting drunk and acting like those who we all complain about on here.

I’m in recovery and very much looking forward to a Mocktail party hosted at a place opening up here. There is a crowd it appeals to. It’s not a coffee shop or a restaurant. It’s open later, has live music, and people get dressed up to go. To each their own.

Probably not unless I was specifically invited. I don’t go to regular bars either. I don’t drink alcohol but am fine with sparkling water or a ginger beer if I want to splurge. Generally though, I don’t like to spend money on drinks. I would rather spend money on food.

I would go under the following very specific circumstances:

A party for older teens that I am supervising. Like if a bunch of 16yos wanted to go for an experience.
To meet and hang out with religious friends or work colleagues who do not drink.

Maybe just to check it out, but not more than once. I’m 64 days AF. But why would I want to hang out in such a limited place? Instead I want to go a bar that has both AF drinks and regular.
