The conversation dives deep into the challenges faced by sober individuals in bars and nightclubs, and Marti’s innovative solution: a mocktail menu at The Queue, a bar they co-own. This menu aims to provide delicious non-alcoholic alternatives, ensuring that everyone feels included and can enjoy a night out without compromising their sobriety. But it’s not just about the drinks.

Marti’s story is both inspiring and thought-provoking, shedding light on the importance of creating safe spaces for those in recovery. As Marti poignantly puts it, 'It took me seeing you for me to be able to do this'.

Tune in to hear how one person’s journey is paving the way for a more inclusive nightlife experience.
