Sans Bar

Sans Bar is an alcohol-free bar and music venue at 918 Congress Ave in Austin, founded in 2017 by licensed substance abuse counselor Chris Marshall as one of the first dedicated sober bars in North America. It started as a pop-up before moving into brick-and-mortar space, eventually landing downtown on Congress Ave. The space is built around craft mocktails and nonalcoholic twists on classic cocktails, like the Nada Colada, served in a warmly lit room designed for real conversation rather than a typical bar scene. It gives riders passing through downtown Austin a genuine night-out option that doesn't involve drinking.
