Coffee with a Side of Sobriety: Carl Radke’s New Bar Is Brewing Excitement!

Carl Radke is pouring his heart and over $100,000 into his newest venture, Soft Bar + Café, set to open in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. With a friends and family grand opening on August 27, followed by a public debut on September 5, Radke’s café aims to shift the narrative around sober spaces. After a viral TikTok cast doubt on the establishment’s readiness, it looks like Radke is ready to silence the naysayers and serve up some serious brews.

This isn’t your average coffee shop. The Soft Bar + Café plans to cater to a crowd looking for non-alcoholic drinks, and hey, it’s dog-friendly too! Radke has worked hard to create not just a café, but a culture where people can enjoy good company without the pressure of alcohol. Talk about a refreshing change of pace. With traditional coffee spots closing up early, Radke sees a unique opportunity to bridge the gap, serving up cup after cup into the evening.

Radke’s invested a lot—both financially and personally—into this venture. Who would’ve thought a sober bar could stir up so much buzz? With soft drinks flowing and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s poised to become a neighborhood staple, provided everyone can handle a little caffeine buzz without the booze. What features do you think make the perfect coffee shop? Let’s hear your thoughts!
