The Brink Liverpool is a recovery social enterprise, the first alcohol-free bar in the north England city and a project of the UK charity Action on Addiction. Serving a diverse food menu and boasting a selection of creatively titled non-alcoholic drinks, the Brink puts all of its profits back into the community to support those suffering from alcoholism and addiction.
The Brink was a stop on Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton's solo St. Patrick's day schedule to highlight her patronage of Action on Addiction.
The lounge aims to fill the void of alcohol-free locales for friends to meet up and hang out, and organizes events including a film club and band nights in order to engage the community.
