We are a community in WNY creating opportunities to connect, socialize, and have fun – no alcohol required.

This is for you if you ever felt alone in your journey.

This is for you if you’re looking for a group where you can show up just as you are to feel seen, heard, and held in whatever you’re feeling.

No way! You don’t have to be alcohol-free or even have the intention of completely quitting.

Wherever you are, you are welcome.

Mindful drinking should celebrate moderation and inclusivity, not shame those who choose to drink occasionally.

We welcome the sober supportive and all who are curious about intentional socializing.

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 are hosted by our founder Kristin also known as The Alcohol-Free Alchemist – a mother of two, pharmacist, and retired black out artist.

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 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!

When we say nonalcoholic beverages, we’re talking about more than water!

Nonalcoholic beverages are drinks crafted to give you flavor, complexity - without alcohol.

Today’s options are vast! It’s a growing world of alcohol free wines, beers, spirits, botanicals, kombuchas, craft sodas, and ready-to-drink mocktails. All of the flavor, none of the hangover.
