Downtown Dry Alcohol-Free Nightlife

OUR MISSION

Downtown Dry was born from personal experience. As the founder, my journey through alcohol use disorder and achieving over a year of sobriety opened my eyes to a critical gap: millions of Americans are choosing recovery, mindful living, or simply want to socialize without alcohol - yet finding quality venues that cater to this lifestyle remained incredibly difficult.

This personal journey inspired me to build America's most comprehensive platform for alcohol-free social experiences. Our directory features 1,800+ carefully curated venues across 600+ cities, from fully alcohol-free bars and mocktail lounges to traditional kava bars and legal delta THC venues.

But we're more than just a directory. Through our expert guides, city recommendations, and curated shopping platform, we're creating a complete ecosystem that supports and celebrates the alcohol-free lifestyle. Whether you're in recovery, pregnant, driving, exploring mindful living, or simply prefer amazing drinks without the hangover, Downtown Dry is your trusted guide.

Our vision is simple: A world where incredible social experiences are accessible to everyone, regardless of their relationship with alcohol.
