Burlington 365 Is Growing — Thanks to You!

Burlington 365 is officially the fastest-growing social media community in the city, and we’re just a few steps away from hitting a major milestone.

A New Kind of Bottle Shop Just Opened in Burlington The way we socialize is changing. Whether it's a wedding toast, a backyard hang, or just dinner with friends, alcohol has traditionally played a starring role. But for more and more people, that role is starting to fade. Enter Søbr Market, now open at 396 Martha Street in Burlington. This thoughtfully curated shop is dedicated entirely to non-alcoholic beverages—from zero-proof spirits and craft mocktails to dealcoholized wines and functional drinks with natural mood-boosters. It’s sleek, modern, and designed for anyone who wants to enjoy the ritual of a good drink—without the alcohol. Why Søbr? As alcohol consumption continues to decline across Canada—especially among millennials and Gen Z—there’s been a major cultural shift. People are drinking less, but they’re not looking to opt out of connection or celebration. They’re just doing it differently. Søbr Market was built around that shift. Their mission is clear: “Bring the best non-alcoholic drinks to as many people as possible.” More than just a shop, Søbr is part of a growing movement to rethink how we celebrate, unwind, and connect. Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, the designated driver, pregnant, or just taking a break, Søbr proves you don’t have to compromise on taste—or the experience. What You’ll Find on the Shelves Søbr Market offers a premium selection of beverages that go way beyond your average soda or sparkling water. Expect to find: Zero-proof spirits for shaking up proper cocktails without the buzz Non-alcoholic wines that actually taste good (seriously) Functional beverages with adaptogens, nootropics, and natural ingredients to help you feel good Crafted mocktails and curated pre-mixed cans for grab-and-go ease Everything is curated with intention—no filler products, just thoughtfully chosen drinks that taste great and feel good. A Space That Feels Like a Community Hub Søbr Market isn’t just about the products. The space itself is welcoming, modern, and minimal, with a boutique-like vibe that encourages browsing and conversation. It’s a place where you can discover something new, ask questions, and feel genuinely excited about what you’re bringing home. Expect pop-ups, tasting events, and future community activations that make Søbr feel more like a local movement than just a retail shop. Where to Find Them You can visit Søbr Market in the heart of downtown Burlington at: 396 Martha Street Right off Lakeshore, just steps from the waterfront. The Bottom Line Søbr Market is more than a shop—it’s a sign of where things are headed. As the way we socialize evolves, places like this help bridge the gap between tradition and change, offering connection without compromise. Whether you’re sober for a day, a season, or a lifetime, Søbr Market is worth a visit.
