About Us

The Unbuzzed Club was created out of a need for something different. After getting sober and moving to Austin, I struggled to find spaces where I could truly connect. I attended countless events and joined multiple clubs, but none of them felt designed for people like me, people navigating a sober or sober-curious lifestyle, often with a little social anxiety in the mix.

So I decided to create what I couldn’t find.

The Unbuzzed Club began as a simple idea: what if socializing didn’t have to revolve around alcohol? What if there were events that made it easy to meet new people, break the ice, and build real friendships without the pressure to drink?

From our very first gathering, it became clear that others were craving the same thing. What started as a few small meetups has grown into a thriving community of people who want to connect with intention.

Every event is thoughtfully designed to make showing up feel safe, easy, and meaningful. Whether it is a creative workshop, a fitness social, or one of our signature Connection Walks, The Unbuzzed Club is about building authentic friendships and belonging in a space where everyone feels welcome.

Whether you are sober, sober-curious, or just taking a night off, this is a place where you can show up exactly as you are and discover connection without alcohol.

Our Mission

The Unbuzzed Club is here to redefine how people connect, celebrate, and build community without alcohol. Our mission is to create intentional spaces that spark genuine connection and foster belonging.

We believe that socializing without alcohol should feel vibrant, inclusive, and meaningful. Through our events, we are building a movement that supports sober and sober-curious lifestyles, empowers authentic connection, and inspires a cultural shift in how communities gather.

What started in Austin is just the beginning. With the support of our members, we aim to expand into more cities and grow The Unbuzzed Club into a nationwide movement that makes connection without alcohol the new norm.

“I moved to Austin a year and a half ago. I’m in my new fitness and wellness journey, and I want to network and make new friends. The Unbuzzed club is one of the best social groups in Austin that allows me and everyone else to be their authentic selves, network, and focus on sobriety, fitness, wellness, and deep social connections without spending time and money in loud bars or clubs.
Each event is unique, and as a transplant, I experience Austin that is new, authentic, and non-touristy, which I love. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to make genuine friends and build relationships.”
