I'm all about partying with a purpose! As someone who loves a good time, I'm passionate that Free Bar provides non-alcoholic alternatives to booze. After all, everyone should be able to join in on the fun without feeling left out! Plus, there are so many delicious non-alcoholic options out there that can add some serious sparkle to any celebration. Let's raise a glass (of something alcohol-free, of course) to making lasting memories and inclusive party vibes!

Before I got sober a huge part of my life revolved around drinking. Whether I was out for an epic night, travelling for work or catching up with a few friends, I would love to try new drinks I had never had before.
When I stopped drinking, I wasn’t sure how to navigate socializing without a drink in my hand, after all this was all I knew about partying for most of my life. Years into my sobriety I discovered non-alc options really worked for me. I didn’t have to be at a party with just sparkling water anymore, but nothing could fill the void of discovering a new drink and sharing it with friends (especially craft beer)!
Being a part of Free Bar has created a way to merge my old life and new life so effortlessly.
Continuing the excitement of trying new drinks and the comradery it captures.
Free Bar has helped me re-frame the idea of what it means to go to a party. Now I am always the one with an awesome drink in my hand and of course sharing the love!

I have been alcohol-free for almost one year. My wife, Adry, and my son, Beckett are the main reasons why I stopped drinking alcohol and started this business. I was not living my best life and found that alcohol was getting in the way of me being a great dad and husband. I feel so happy and thankful that I stopped drinking alcohol and am working everyday to be a better version of myself. This lifestyle change has really helped me and I wanted to help others find great products if they too wanted to make a lifestyle change.
Since starting Free Bar, I have tried over 150 different NA products, met with amazing companies and brands and really explored the Non-alc world. I am so happy to be able to bring the best NA drinks to the Free Bar Community and connect with others that are on their personal journey.
