The festive season is in full swing, and January is close behind, bringing a fresh start to the new year. Dry January, the month where many people opt to give their liver a little break, has become increasingly popular. Whether you’re looking to reset after holiday indulgences, embrace a healthier lifestyle, or simply enjoy some delicious mocktails, Denver has plenty to offer for those skipping the alcohol without missing out on the fun. Here, from 5280, a list of sober-friendly activities:

1. Catch a Laugh at Colorado Sake Co.’s Denver Comedy Lounge (3559 Larimer St, RiNo): It might be known for its sake, but Colorado Sake Co. hosts a killer comedy show every weekend. Sip on a lavender lemonade while enjoying sushi and belly laughs – no drink minimum required.
2. Test Your Skills at Escape Works (1529 Champa St, Downtown): Grab a group of friends and take on the challenge of a high-stakes escape room. Whether it’s a casino heist or a pirate adventure, Escape Works’ themed rooms provide all the thrills without the need for a cocktail in hand.
