NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One small business in Nashville is looking to expand. Killjoy is a non-alcoholic bottle shop and is working to open a bar without the booze.
"People really do think of Nashville as a drinking town, but the people who live here there's a wide variety of people and a lot of them are sober curious," Killjoy owner Stephanie Styll said.
It is in partnership with The Loading Dock Cafe, which is moving locations. Juan Vega-Romero is the owner.
"He's been working in hospitality and restaurant management for 25 years and was the area supervisor of a local chain before opening The Loading Dock Coffee Shop in 2018. He'll bring all of his food and beverage expertise to make sure that Killjoy Bar is a huge success," a gofundme created by Stephanie said.
In order for the bar to happen, the location they've found needs to be built out.
"After more than a year of chatting with Killjoy customers, it's become clear that Nashville needs a dedicated community space for booze-free fun, and we've found the perfect location! We're asking for your support to help us build out a charming late night bar and café," the gofundme said
Stephanie's goal is to raise $100,000. You can learn more about Killjoy on their website.

My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
