Sober & Alcohol-Free in Tehran.

Meet people at coffee, gigs, hikes and dinners instead of the bar — sober-curious and alcohol-free friendly.

How this lifestyle works

Finding sober & alcohol-free friends in Tehran.

Alcohol-centred social scripts leave sober and sober-curious people stranded. The alternative is rooms that never required a drink: morning runs, creative workshops, volunteer shifts, board game nights and explicitly sober events.

You don’t owe anyone your reason. ‘I’m not drinking’ is a complete sentence. Good friends adjust the plan; bad ones push — leave them.
