  • Our events are hosted by our founder Kristin also known as The Alcohol-Free Alchemist – a mother of two, pharmacist, and former gray area drinker.

    ‍Getting sober after daily drinking, she realized that forming community and connections was key to her recovery journey. She wants to share her journey and bring people together - no substances needed.

  • Our community is diverse and inclusive, everyone’s welcome to gather with us!

    Queen City Sober is woman-run and has a chill, feminine vibe, but it’s all about good vibes, connection, and fun—no matter who you are.

  • Our events will range from curated pop-ups and nonalcoholic beverage tastings to spontaneous “let’s all go” group outings.

    Our goal is to build real community, and create spaces where you can feel welcome.

    As our community grows, we’ll continue adding more experiences that bring people together in meaningful, alcohol-free ways.

    We are just getting started!
