A bar has opened that doesn’t serve alcohol, and it’s surprisingly successful.

Brillig Dry Bar in Ann Arbor, Michigan doesn’t serve alcohol, but owner Nic Sims is counting on customers not caring.

She hasn’t had a drink in 20 years, and she wanted to create a space where people—including, but not limited to, recovering alcoholics—could gather to have fun and socialize without worrying about drinking. In other words, she wants Brillig Dry Bar to have “a bar-like convivial atmosphere, with snacks and drinks and conversation, without it being a bar,” she told MLive.com.

Sims runs the bar as a pop-up out of her husband’s coffee shop, Mighty Good Coffee. She serves interesting non-alcoholic drinks, like Brooklyn Egg Creams, Pomegranate-Rosemary Sodas, and Vegan Pumpkin Chillers, as well as snack plates with meats, cheeses, and cookies.

Though some detractors have accused Sims of being anti-alcohol, the bar’s opening night last Friday was packed. According to BuzzFeed, “Brillig’s first customers included former drinkers, pregnant women, Muslims, teenagers, and college kids.”

The next pop-up will be December 26.

OH, I WANT THIS. I am eternally disappoint at the sad lack of amazing and good tasting unusual drinks that don’t revolve around alcohol content. And, y’know, environments that don’t leave people out, given the sheer number of people I know who are uncomfortable around alcohol or who are former alcoholics who don’t want to be around alcohol.

Coffee shops are sometimes a good compromise for social meetups, depending, but sometimes people want more variety. :/ I end up scouring specialty juice drink aisles in some stores and then being irritated when everything that’s there has a ridiculous % of corn syrup or cane sugar added in.

I need this in my life.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Idk, maybe they’re reading about the history around them.

Have you ever been to the Louvre? There are a shit-ton of apps you can download to help you learn the history and meaning behind the paintings. Like, when you walk in, after you go through the security scan, there are ACTUALLY shit-ton of advertisements and suggestions on how to download learning apps, buy their digital walk-through. or take a guided tour.  They’re quite happy to stuff tech down your throat (and your wallet) to enhance your experience. (it also makes it easier on the staff, to take smaller groups. Some people just like wandering on their own)

When I went through there, there was a class, and the teacher told them to write down notes. Many kids hadn’t brought notepads, and when the teacher said ‘write this down’ they all shuffled their phones out, and tapped away on a ‘notebook’ app.

Sure, these kids in the pic might be taking a break after walking through a three-hour tour of learning and history and magnificent art, by texting their friends or vegging out on facebook…(and I know where that painting is, in that museum. It’s pretty damn far from the front entrance. Took me an hour to get there, and I wasn’t even with a guided tour)

or maybe they’re learning more than your technophobic ass ever will from just silently staring at a painting without referencing the wealth of knowledge stored within the internet.

More than half of my college classes encouraged us to have laptops out – either to write notes, or to reference sources that the teacher was lecturing on. Often, people with tablets would have their E-books open, writing on the digital pages, or if they didn’t have a touch-screen, highlighting and notating bits of text.  One of my professors specifically asked us to bring our tech to class, so we could show him sources for when we wanted to discuss a certain topic that was relevant to the day’s lesson.

Conclusion? Fuck off about how ‘technology is ruining our youth/destroying learning. The internet has encouraged my thirst for knowledge more than 99% of my teachers have. It has enhanced classrooms since we learned how to source online journals, and made any school library a thousand times bigger than they could afford, had they only stuck to paper and binding.

i propose a new hashtag

#watergate

but didn’t that already happen?

no, you’re thinking of #gamergate

#watergate is an all new movement advocating choice in drinks

wait but what about the thing in the 60’s where this guy

suddenly stole buckets upon buckets of water from this thing

and got slapped in the hand for it?

don’t be silly, everyone knows about Tricky Dick’s Wet ‘n’ Wild Water Heist of 1967
