Who Is The Little Sober Bar? Our Story, Our Drinks, and Why Everyone Belongs Here

Welcome! We’re The Little Sober Bar: a mobile sober bar, a bottle shop in Downtown Woodstock, and a team that believes everyone deserves a drink they’re excited to hold. Whether you’re sober, sober curious, or just looking for something different, there’s room for you here.

We craft and curate adult alternative beverages for events and everyday exploring. Think zero proof cocktails, craft sodas, and a shelf full of interesting options. No special explanation required. Just come as you are.

It started with a boat. Then came a camper.

The Little Sober Bar began with founder and Master Alchemist Bryttany Hyde (she/they), who stepped back from drinking for their own wellbeing and felt isolated in some social situations. That experience sparked a question: what if gatherings offered more options for people who weren’t drinking?

The first version of the idea was a joking “boat bar” plan: what if there were a boat selling zero proof drinks? The boat didn’t become the bar. A 1965 Shasta Compact camper did.

Bryttany and the early crew renovated the trailer in just 43 days. Every early supporter’s name is written beneath the trailer’s floorboards. A small, literal reminder that this community helped build the bar. The first event was in September 2023.

Since that first event, the business has grown into a lively mix of pop-ups, events, and a home base in Woodstock. The team now serves more than 150 events each year, has added two outdoor and two indoor minibar setups, and hosts the annual NotATypical Festival, which has raised awareness for mental health since 2024. The Little Sober Bar also opened a bottle shop in Downtown Woodstock and acquired Pulp Friction, a lemonade and dirty soda trailer.

Along the way, Bryttany won first place in the 2023 Fayette County Pitch Contest, graduated LaunchPad Bootcamp with a $5,000 grant, and joined Hatchbridge and the North Atlanta Venture Mentoring Program. Not bad for an idea that started with “what if we had a boat?” We love a plan that takes a scenic route.

Meet the people behind the bar

A welcoming bar takes more than a charming trailer. It takes people who care about making guests feel comfortable, whether they’re stopping by for a quick drink or helping plan a gathering.

Behind the bar you’ll find our founder, a leadership team that keeps events and operations humming, a crew of curiosity connectors, bar staff, and our HQ lead — every one of them focused on making guests feel welcome.

We’re a Georgia Grown company, a minority-owned, LGBTQ-owned safe space, and we’re glad you found us. Our team brings different skills and personalities to the bar, but we share one big idea: hospitality should make room for people, not ask people to fit a mold.
