About SoBar

SoBar (aka The SoBar Social) is the alcohol-free bar and social movement founded by Ronnie Traynor in 2021, created in response to a growing desire for more inclusive, meaningful ways to gather. What began as a personal journey soon grew into a community-led platform rooted in joy, connection and conscious socialising — free from pressure, stigma or exclusion.
