Long Beach, California, United States
Five years ago, we gathered in Long Beach for our very first Sober in the City dinner. At the time, we had no idea it would become the beginning of something so much bigger. We simply wanted one unforgettable evening where connection—not alcohol—was the reason we gathered. Join us as we return to the beautiful La Opera in downtown Long Beach for an elegant evening of incredible Italian cuisine, thoughtfully crafted zero-proof beverages, meaningful conversations, laughter, and the warm hospitality that has become a Sober in the City tradition. Whether you're reconnecting with old friends or meeting new ones for the very first time, you'll leave feeling like you belong. Many guests are making a weekend of it! We'll have a special group hotel rate nearby, and all the details will be included in your confirmation email. Come for the dinner, or stay and enjoy a weekend exploring Long Beach with our amazing community. Bonus: Celebration Dinner guests will also be the first to hear the official announcement of our Fall 2027 Sober in the City destination.

Alcohol-Free by Design
This is a dedicated alcohol-free dinner experience, thoughtfully designed so everyone can relax, connect, and simply enjoy the evening. Our menu features beautifully crafted zero-proof cocktails and other delicious alcohol-free beverages, all created with the same care and creativity as any great cocktail. If you've never been to a dedicated alcohol-free gathering before, you're in for a treat. There's something wonderfully freeing about spending an evening where everyone is there for the same reason, to enjoy great food, meaningful conversation, and genuine connection. It's amazing how quickly strangers become friends. Because it's just one evening, it's also the perfect opportunity to invite a spouse, partner, friend, or family member to experience a glimpse of your alcohol-free world. Whether they're alcohol-free themselves or simply curious, it's a fun, welcoming way to share what you've discovered. Come with an open mind. Leave with a full heart...and probably a few new friends.
Boutique Hotel
We have a group rate at the Long Beach Hyatt Regency. You will receive the booking link in your confirmation email.

Since many like to stay a few days, or just a couple, you are able to make your own hotel reservations for the length of stay you prefer. We're happy to assist with potential roommates.
