Jody Sidle
Jody Sidle is the founder and driving force behind Point 5 — Richmond’s first non-alcoholic bottle shop located right here in Carytown. Driven by her own journey into an alcohol-free lifestyle, Jody launched Point 5 to create an inviting space for everyone: including those who are sober, sober-curious, or simply interested in discovering high-quality alternative and unique beverages.
At Point 5, Jody and Lewis; Point 5’s Manager - curate a smart selection of non-alcoholic spirits, functional and nootropic drinks, canned beers and wines, as well as gluten-free and dairy-free options that reflect modern taste and lifestyle.
Their vision extends beyond retail: They believe that the ritual of gathering, pouring a drink, and being social doesn’t have to be defined by alcohol. Their mission with Point 5 is to normalize alternative drinking culture, encourage inclusivity, and support expanded choice within Richmond’s diverse community.
