SOBEROUT
Austin · three of us · one chair open

Nobody stays sober alone.

So every table here keeps one chair empty — permanently, for whoever's new.

You will never be told a thing is full. Someone meets you in that chair on your first one, and two people is enough — so nothing here needs a crowd to happen.

One evening

A breakfast after a race. Somebody’s first sober New Year. Post it once and be done.

Put one evening on

Every week

A table that keeps meeting, with the door passed around so it isn’t one person’s job.

Three of us. One chair.

The open one isn't a vacancy — it's reserved. When you take it, we open another.

  1. Always one open. One evening or every week, the chair is the same.

  2. Somebody’s on the door. A name, waiting for you. Nobody arrives alone twice.

  3. Two is enough. Two people is a success, so it happens whether or not it's popular.

Take this chair

Neither one is the real version

Most tables started as somebody's one-off.

You post one evening. Four people come, two say they'd come again — and we ask you, afterwards, whether you want to make it a regular thing. Nobody signs up for a weekly commitment to have one breakfast.

There's a chair
with your name on it.

Once, or every week. Somebody's on the door either way.
