Sans Bar

Sans Bar is North America's first non-alcoholic bar, established in 2017 in downtown Austin, Texas. This upscale venue offers premium alcohol-free cocktails in a vibrant social atmosphere, proving that nightlife can be enjoyable without alcohol.

Founded by Chris Marshall, a former substance abuse counselor who has been sober for years, Sans Bar was created to provide a safe and inclusive space for everyone seeking fun without alcohol. What began as a series of monthly pop-ups around Austin quickly gained a supportive following, eventually leading to a permanent location.

1. The bar is a cornerstone of the growing "sober curious" movement
2. They offer premium alcohol-free cocktails and mixology experiences
3. Sans Bar regularly collaborates with Swift Fit Events to create the Texas Wellness Oasis

Beyond serving drinks, Sans Bar fosters genuine connections and community. They've expanded their mission through Sans Bar Academy, a 10-week course that has helped launch over 40 non-alcoholic businesses across the United States, Canada, and Australia. They also host the annual Sans Bar Academy Awards in Reno, Nevada each September to recognize innovative brands in the non-alcoholic movement.

Whether you're in recovery, sober curious, or simply want to enjoy a night out without alcohol, Sans Bar offers an elevated social experience where people come for the drinks but stay for the community!
