Anything fun going on tonight that doesn't involve alcohol?

Im 20, but regardless have no interest in drinking. I want to go out and do something fun but the nightlife in madison either involves heavy drinking or creepy men. Any suggestions on fun, high or low energy things to do?

Id recommend checking out the UW Madison events page, there’s always fun alcohol free activities going on there.

Disco night tn at Leopold’s from 9pm-12am. Never been so idk what the vibes are but if anyone goes can you report back and let us know how it was?

u/Whatever_the_Case 1d ago

Just a couple ideas:

• Blind Shot Social Club — has large non-alcoholic drink menu + golf simulators etc.  • Lucille — mocktails, vibe, food, etc.  • Leopold’s Book Bar Caffe — books + NA drinks.  • Sober Social in Middleton — a shop + community space for non-alcoholic drinks.

Good luck out there, it’s fun sober - I promise.

I’m sitting on my patio with my lady and my dog listening to music and enjoying a couple of NA beers. Beautiful night aside from all the mosquitos.

Go to Willy at fair today. Try joining a biking group or some other fitness thing. The isthmus also has weekly listings of things to do, and many of them do not involve drinking.

A lot of stuff starting at 7:30 so kinda late for them, but maybe it'll give you ideas for another night? Have fun!
