Søbr Market
At Winnipeg’s Søbr Market, owners Jessie and Shane Haliburton believe that non-drinkers shouldn’t have to compromise at social events. Their expertly curated selection of low-alcohol and zero-proof bottles and cans are sourced around the world — from beer to spirits and digestifs. All are now on display at their bottle shop at 390 Academy Rd., where they moved in 2024, which is double the size of the previous location. With ready-made drinks and mocktail ingredients on hand, Søbr Market raises the bar on non-alcoholic alternatives.

Stroll the picturesque 400-metre waterfront boardwalk overlooking Buffalo Bay and watch for blue jays, woodpeckers and even grey owls, or partake in a variety of activities offered for every season, from summer beach sports to winter ice fishing.
