Sunday Sober Showdown is happening October 19, 2025, at Bayview Yards from 7-11pm.
In this head to head competition, four incredible Ottawa mixologists will face off live featuring bold, creative non-alcoholic cocktails; competing for braggin' rights & a ton of awesome prizes including $500 cash. Guests will have the opportunity to watch the competition unfold live in front of our judging panel, sample the creations from our dais of talented competitors and vote on their People’s Choice Award winner. Got a Monday morning meeting? No problem.
Sunday Sober Showdown is rooted in the Ottawa hospitality community and it is important for us to give back in a way that directly impacts the people who make this industry thrive. Mental health, alcoholism and addiction challenges are among the most pressing issues facing hospitality professionals, and this event is offered in support of CMHA Ottawa's Recovery College. CMHA provides crucial resources and support to those who need it most. By partnering with CMHA Ottawa Branch, we hope to not only raise funds for an important cause, but also spark important conversations around wellness, resilience, and community care in an industry that gives so much of itself to others.
