Austin Soda Social

Pop-ups & grand openings

A soda bar that gives your grand opening a reason to stop

Grand openings, ribbon cuttings, market pop-ups, and brand activations on South Congress, at The Domain, and in Mueller. We bring the bar, the photo moment, and a reason for people to stay.

Why it works

Made for pop-ups & grand openings.

A grand opening needs a reason for people to stop, and a free drink is a good one. A dirty soda bar out front of a boutique on South Congress, a studio in Mueller, or a new spot at The Domain gives passersby something free and fun to hold while they look at what you're opening.

Alcohol-free matters a lot here. It means you can serve on a sidewalk, at 10 a.m., to families, with none of the alcohol paperwork, and it means every drink comes with your logo in the photo.

Co-branding is easy to add. A signature drink named after your shop or product, cups and menu cards in your colors, and a setup that matches your storefront so the whole thing reads as yours. It works for ribbon cuttings, anniversary sales, influencer previews, and market pop-ups.

You handle the venue or market permission and the crowd. We bring everything for the bar, serve fast enough to keep the line moving, and pack out clean when the event is over.

FAQ

Questions people ask us.

Can you brand the bar for our store or product?

Yes. A custom drink name, cups and menu cards in your colors, and a setup styled to your storefront are all easy to add.

How big a crowd can you serve?

Share your expected traffic and the event window and we'll size the setup and staffing so the line keeps moving.

Do we need a permit for the soda bar?

You handle permission for the space, whether that's your storefront, the market organizer, or the property manager. We bring everything for the bar itself.

Can you do a daytime sidewalk setup?

Yes. Everything is alcohol-free, so morning and daytime sidewalk events work great. We just need a level spot and shade in the hot months.
