Sioux Falls' Community
Third Place

Good NAtured is more than a gathering space, we’re a third place

Coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg, a third place is a welcoming environment outside of home and work where community, creativity, and conversation thrive. It’s where friendships form, ideas flow, and you can simply be. Whether you’re joining a craft workshop, live entertainment, or just stopping by to unwind, Good NAtured is your space to connect, recharge, and belong. 

Come experience the power of a true third place where everyone has a seat at the table.

A New Kind of Community Space

Sioux Falls, with its diverse and growing population, is ready for a place like Good NAtured. We offer a space for live music, themed events, and skill-sharing that fosters genuine connections. This is a Third Place for those looking to engage with their community in a different way, without the influence of alcohol.

Why We’re Here

We believe in the value of bringing people together in a meaningful way. Good NAtured offers a new place for the Sioux Falls community to gather, connect, and enjoy each other’s company in an inclusive, alcohol-free setting.

Meet Shannon

I am passionate to bring Good NAtured to the community because I know the darkness that comes with isolation. I also know the struggles of being a non-drinker and wanting to go have a fun time, without the influence of alcohol. For years I enjoyed many places and people, I loved karaoke, trivia, live music; but the venues always included alcohol. In my journey to find new people I discovered that many others felt that there was a lacking in places open later in the day and night where you couldn’t buy the booze! 

Besides bringing a space without alcohol, I am excited to hold space for community members to Skill-Share! My first adventure into entrepreneurship involved me trying to get all my friends involved by teaching them to make friendship bracelets.  The dream was born early to have a place where people shared the things they knew. I don’ want to see these amazing trades and crafts disappear. I also have grown friendships and community with people from all ages and walks of life by sharing in a skill with them.
