Taano House
East 6th Street
Taano House is a non-alcoholic trailer bar parked at 1109 E. 6th Street in Austin's East Sixth entertainment district, open daily from 5pm to 2am. Opened August 15, 2024 by University of Texas professor Geoff Smith and Joe Wes — co-founders of Austin-based Taano Elevated Beverages — the bar offers an unusual take on non-alcoholic drinking. Rather than focusing on traditional mocktails, Taano builds drinks around legal psychoactive plants like kava, kanna, blue lotus, and Amanita muscaria, aiming to deliver the relaxation and euphoria of social drinking through botanicals rather than alcohol. The cocktail menu was developed with Shaun Meglen, a mixologist and product education director for beverage distributor Southern Glazer's. Standout drinks include the Egyptian Mule (built on blue lotus and Amethyst's cucumber-ginger-serrano NA spirit), the Molly Martini (kanna with Lyre's NA coffee liqueur), and a 'mushroom wine' pairing Amanita muscaria with Oddbird NA wine. Visitors in recovery or anyone with substance sensitivities should note that the menu emphasizes psychoactive botanicals — this is a non-alcoholic experience, not necessarily a fully sober one.

The Zero Co.
Poncey-Highland
The Zero Co. is Atlanta's first dedicated non-alcoholic bottle shop, opened in December 2022 in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood by Cory and Malory Atkinson, the husband-and-wife team behind nearby Elemental Spirits Co. The shop grew out of the rapidly growing zero-proof section at Elemental and stocks more than 500 non-alcoholic products — spirit alternatives, de-alcoholized wines, NA beers, and ready-to-drink cans — alongside locally made shrubs, vinegars, bitters, and elixirs. A bar-cart sample station lets customers taste before buying, and the space hosts tastings and events. Carried brands include Ghia, Seedlip, Lyre's, Wilderton, Ritual Zero Proof, De Soi, Three Spirit, Free Spirits, Athletic Brewing, and more. As co-owner Malory Atkinson put it, the goal was a "warm and welcoming" space for all kinds of drinkers and non-drinkers.
