Chris Marshall's Vision: Sans Bar and the Rise of the Sober-Curious Movement

And rather than look at it and say this is a problem, it's dragging me down and I'm done. You can't measure that, you can't put a dollar value on that.
Ever wondered what it takes to build a thriving social scene without a drop of alcohol? Meet Chris Marshall, the mastermind behind Sans Bar in Austin, Texas. Chris knew from his first sip as a teenager that alcohol was a struggle for him. By his early 20s, he decided to go alcohol-free and soon realized that the sober world needed more than just club soda. It needed connection, fun, and flavor—without the chaos of drinking.
Enter Sans Bar, a place where people can enjoy music, laughter, and friendship in an alcohol-free environment. This episode of the 'Alcohol-Free Lifestyle' podcast dives deep into Chris's journey and the broader sober-curious movement with host Victoria English, a top coach at Alcohol-Free Lifestyle and Project 90. They chat about how Sans Bar has taken Austin by storm and is expanding across the country.
Chris shares his wisdom on the importance of connection in social settings and recreating the ritual of drinking without alcohol. They also explore the science of addiction and how to find excitement in life without booze. Whether you're sober-curious or looking to deepen your understanding of living alcohol-free, this episode offers a refreshing take on socializing without alcohol.
Chris’s vision for Sans Bar is inspiring, and his story is a testament to the power of creativity and resilience in changing the world. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and practical advice on navigating social life without alcohol.
