We are trying to make your pub better!

One of our goals is to make pubs, bars and restaurants for everyone, wether they are not drinking tonight, driving, pregnant or drinking more mindfully. So last month we created a pop-up alcohol-free bar at Pub 20, the biggest Pub trade show in the UK. We also hosted a panel of some of the best venues in the UK for low and no. Including The Understudy, Brewhouse and Kitchen, Fugitive Motel, Mitchell and Butlers and Hawksmoor. You can hear a snippet of that panel on this podcast.

Thanks to Distill Ventures, Mocktails, Heineken, BSDA and Celtic Soul for making that event possible!

You can navigate great venues near you using clubsodaguide.com. London Field’s Passionfruit Sour, Thatchers AF cider are both now listed with over 1,000 other low and no alcohol drinks on the Guide.
