Wild Child will open in Shawnee, Kansas, this month with a focus on nonalcoholic drinks. The business will join the list of bars, restaurants, and liquor stores across the metro shifting more of their attention to a new type of consumer.
Drastic Measures is a James Beard Award finalist this year for Outstanding Bar, solidifying it as a leader in the realm of alcoholic drinks. But co-owner Jay Sanders believes he and his team can do more.
Sanders called Wild Child, a new bar he’s set to open on July 15 next door to Drastic Measures in Shawnee, Kansas, “a drinkery for everyone.” Traditional wine and cocktails will be available, he said, but the star of the show is the extensive alcohol-free drink menu.
“Our nondrinking friends have not been represented in this space and, while we may not be the first, we’re going to be the newest one to market toward them,” said Sanders.

We’ve had a couple of alcohol free venues. Other Bars: For me, they can have alcohol but I don’t consume any, PO1 William "Chip" Nagel we have had a sobriety wave amongst the musicians in the last year and generally they played at coffee houses and restaurants. There are a couple of dedicated locations that are for musicians and no alcohol to create a safe welcoming place for the newly sober and their families.
