While Hive Coffee Company in downtown Suttons Bay is known for its tasty hand-crafted lattes, sandwiches, and waffles, it’s also the gathering place for its “social club” events typically held from 6 to 8 p.m. when scheduled.
Hive owners Landon and Nicole McDaid put on their first social club in March, serving as an event for people to socialize with others in the community while trying unique, non-alcoholic drinks. The zero-proof cocktails utilize locally made, natural ingredient mix combinations from businesses like Audacia Elixirs.
“I think people are excited. For the Cinco De Mayo (social club event) one, an entire bachelorette party heard about it and came because they aren’t drinkers,” Landon said. “So they were in the area and they came in and they really enjoyed themselves… Being Leelanau county, it (nonalcoholic drinks) can be kind of limiting.”
