Something different is pouring into NYC. The Drinks With Benefits Alcohol-Free Festival returns to Chelsea's iconic Altman Building on Thursday September 17, 2026, bringing together the best in alcohol-free & functional drinks, food, music, and wellness for one seriously good night out. This isn't about what you're giving up - it's about everything you gain: pure energy, deep connections, and being 100% present.
Grab your $29 GA Ticket (a $72 value) and spend 4 hours sipping your way through 60+ top-shelf alcohol-free and functional beverage brands in the Tasting Gallery. Discover zero-proof wines, spirits, cocktails, beers, functional and next-gen pours featuring kanna, kava, adaptogens, hemp and more, with names including BERO by Tom Holland, Zeronimo, Cipriani Bellini Zero, Giesen, Luminara, St. Buena Vida, Tomorrow Cellars, Society De La Rassi, oHHo and plenty more.
Come hungry, too. The Food Hall will feature curated bites available for purchase from NYC favorites including abcV, Le Botaniste, Sushi by Bou, Delice & Sarrasin, Murray's Cheese, and Barachou. Then, head downstairs to the Drink Rhythms Lounge, where DJs Bellatrix and Francheska bring the beats and ALTRD's Marissa Roer curates the vibes for a full-blown sober rave.
Need a change of pace? Recenter in the Wellness Sanctuary with a guided meditation led by renowned movement coach and Reiki master Dara Hart of Sage + Sound, before heading back out to sip, mingle, dance and discover what's next in alcohol-free nightlife.
Big nights out. Better mornings. Drink Less. Live Loud...
Founded in 2024 by media personality and entrepreneur Dan Abrams, The Daily Pour is a modern drinking destination built for a generation that's rethinking what's in its glass. Covering everything from traditional spirits and wine to the booming worlds of alcohol-free, zero-proof and functional beverages, the platform helps curious drinkers discover what's new, what's next, and most importantly, what's actually worth sipping.
Far more than a traditional drinks publication, The Daily Pour brings the people, personalities and stories behind the beverage world to life through editorial features, interviews, reviews and compelling video content. Its mobile app takes that expertise on the go, giving drinkers access to an enormous database of beverage reviews whether they're browsing the shelves, stocking the bar, planning a party, or simply looking for their next favorite pour.
But some drinks are better discovered IRL. The Daily Pour takes its expertise off the screen with live events, tastings and festivals, bringing consumers face-to-face with exciting established names, boundary-pushing newcomers and the makers behind the bottles. It's a chance to taste emerging trends rather than simply read about them, and nowhere is that philosophy more apparent than at Drinks With Benefits.
Returning for its second year, Drinks With Benefits takes over Chelsea's iconic Altman Building with 60+ alcohol-free and functional beverage brands ready to pour. Sip your way through the latest zero-proof wines, spirits, cocktails and functional creations, hit the dance floor for live DJ sets and a sober rave, recharge with immersive wellness experiences, and discover just how far alcohol-free drinking has come.
Drink up, because tomorrow morning has never looked so good...
