Best Mocktails in Phoenix, AZ
Phoenix's non-alcoholic scene has grown up fast across the Valley, and it splits into a few clear strengths. The fully alcohol-free corner runs deep: The Nixer, the metro's first dedicated NA bar, works the Grand Avenue arts district, while a cluster of kava lounges — Tempe's The Chill Room and Lighthouse, plus Arcadia's Kawana — hold down the sober-social side. Downtown Phoenix carries the craft-cocktail depth, where James Beard-recognized Little Rituals and the Luhrs Building's Bitter & Twisted build zero-proof drinks with the same care as their cocktails, and Arcadia's Century Grand runs mocktail menus across its three themed bars. The desert's own breweries pour house-made NA beer — Arizona Wilderness's ARIZO[NA] IPA and Wren House's Spellbinder — and across the 101 in Scottsdale, Old Town rooms like 36 Below, Sandfish, and Hula's Modern Tiki treat spirit-free drinks as a real menu, with resort dining at Paradise Valley's Hearth '61 and Desert Ridge's Tía Carmen rounding out the metro.

A fully alcohol-free lounge in the West Valley (Glendale), Zero Proof Lounge is one of the only true sober bars in metro Phoenix — its entire menu is non-alcoholic, spanning botanical-tea cocktails and kava-based builds that mimic familiar drinks. An 18-and-over, free-Wi-Fi spot built for socializing without alcohol rather than an afterthought NA section on a drinking menu. (Some builds use kava, which is alcohol-free but psychoactive.)
Signature NA drinks- Zero 'Bull
- Blushing Lemon
- Piña Colada (kava)
- White Russian (kava)

Set in the historic Luhrs Building downtown, Bitter & Twisted is one of Phoenix's most decorated cocktail bars — and it takes its zero-proof side seriously. Alongside a dedicated spirit-free menu, the team says roughly 60 percent of the full cocktail list can be built without alcohol. Named NA drinks have included the Nada Colada, the fizzy hibiscus-sage-cinnamon Miss Nightingale, and Hasta La Vista, Berry! — a balance of zero-proof mezcal and Martini & Rossi's non-alcoholic aperitif with a triple-berry shrub and soda.
Signature NA drinks- Nada Colada
- Miss Nightingale
- Hasta La Vista, Berry!

A fourth-floor cocktail bar above the Residence Inn/Courtyard in downtown Phoenix, Little Rituals was a James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Bar (2024 and 2025) — and it treats mocktails with the same reverence as its spirited list, with roughly 40 percent of the menu available alcohol-free. Components like syrups, infusions, and foams are made in house. A standout is the N/A Paloma, built on spirit-free blanco tequila, seasonal grapefruit soda, key lime, and a touch of sea salt.
Signature NA drinks- N/A Paloma
- ★★★★★?
A Biltmore-area New American restaurant and whiskey bar open since 2013, The Gladly pairs a serious beverage program (350-plus whiskies and a James Beard-recognized kitchen) with a permanent, menu-printed 'Zero Proof' section — crafted non-alcoholic cocktails built on real NA spirits like Seedlip and Lyre's rather than a token mocktail. Phoenix New Times has highlighted it as a go-to for finding genuine alcohol-free drinks on the menu.
Signature NA drinks- Hellfire (Seedlip Grove, blueberry-orgeat, citrus, ginger beer, cracked pepper)
- A Botanist Walks Into a Bar (jalapeño-infused Seedlip Garden, grapefruit oleo, lime, soda)
- Truth or Consequences (Lyre's Italian Orange, strawberry, grapefruit oleo, lime)
- Fauxjito

Tucked into a historic 1890s brick bungalow beside Pizzeria Bianco on downtown's Heritage Square, Bar Bianco is chef Chris Bianco's wine-and-cocktail bar — and a relaxed spot to wait for a table with a real zero-proof option in hand. Most of its mocktails pair Seedlip non-alcoholic spirits with house-made syrups for layered, low-sweetness drinks like the citrusy Vinifera Spice and the herbal Mariposa Milk.
Signature NA drinks- Vinifera Spice
- Mariposa Milk
- ★★★★★?
The downtown Phoenix pub from one of Arizona's most acclaimed, sustainability-minded breweries — and a rare brewery that makes its own non-alcoholic beer. Arizona Wilderness released ARIZO[NA], billed as the state's first non-alcoholic IPA (bright citrus, balanced bitterness, snappy finish), and also pours Wild Water, a zero-proof sparkling water hopped with El Dorado and Mosaic. A genuine taproom experience for anyone skipping alcohol.
Signature NA drinks- ARIZO[NA] non-alcoholic IPA
- Wild Water (hopped sparkling water)
- ★★★★★?
A beloved, award-winning neighborhood brewery on N 24th Street in central Phoenix, Wren House is known for some of Arizona's best IPAs — and it brews its own zero-proof Non-Alcoholic Spellbinder, a 0.5% ABV version of its flagship hazy IPA with light effervescence and tropical flavor. A welcoming taproom where a designated driver or non-drinker still has a genuine craft pour in hand. (Note: the standard Spellbinder IPA is alcoholic; ask for the non-alcoholic version.)
Signature NA drinks- Non-Alcoholic Spellbinder (0.5% ABV NA IPA)
- ★★★★★?
A hidden underground speakeasy beneath Sip Coffee & Beer Garage in the Arcadia Lite neighborhood of Phoenix, 36 Below pairs a transportive, candlelit room with a dedicated 'Zero Proof' menu of non-alcoholic 'glasses' that are almost too pretty to drink. Spirit-free options have included the Artemis (alcohol-free rum, white chocolate, hazelnut, oat milk, nitro coffee), the Two of Cups, and Enlightened — crafted with the same care as the cocktails and small plates.
Signature NA drinks- Artemis
- Two of Cups
- Enlightened
- ★★★★★?
Celebrity chef Angelo Sosa's modern Southwestern restaurant at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge runs a thoughtful non-alcoholic lineup alongside its agave-driven bar. Named mocktails include the Short & Spicy (aguachile, ginger, pineapple) and the Tall & Bubbly (prickly pear, hibiscus, sparkling apple cider), and the NA beer list reaches beyond the basics with Athletic Brewing's Upside Dawn and several Bravus Brewing options.

A hip, retro tiki restaurant and bar in Old Town Scottsdale, Hula's serves playful tropical mocktails in vintage tiki mugs, complete with umbrellas and fruity garnishes.

- Castaway Cooler
- ★★★★★?
A modern sushi-and-whiskey restaurant in the Melrose District of Phoenix with a surprisingly deep mocktail list built on Japanese-leaning, seasonal flavors. Several zero-proof drinks are built on Seedlip — including the Virgin Garden (Seedlip Garden, lemon, muddled cucumber, soda) and the Nordic Brace (Seedlip Garden, hibiscus, lemon, jalapeño-ginger).
Signature NA drinks- Virgin Garden
- Nordic Brace
- ★★★★★?
The stylish New American restaurant at Mountain Shadows Resort, with hearth-fired cooking and Camelback Mountain views — and a generous non-alcoholic menu to match. Spirit-free options lean on Seedlip and Pentire, including the Blueberry Basil Bliss (Seedlip Garden 108, lemon, blueberry, basil), the Pink Petal (Pentire, grapefruit, hibiscus), and the Berry-Berry-Berry Delightful.

What makes a great mocktail?
A great mocktail isn't just a cocktail with the alcohol removed. The best non-alcoholic drinks are designed from the ground up around the flavor profile, mouthfeel, and ritual of a craft cocktail — without leaning on alcohol as a shortcut.
The signal: named drinks on a published menu, fresh-pressed juices, house-made shrubs or syrups, bitters and tinctures for complexity, and increasingly an NA-spirits section (Lyre's, Seedlip, Ritual, Wilderton, and others) used the same way a cocktail bar uses gin or whiskey. The opposite: an off-menu "we can make something" with no specific drinks, defaulting to soda, juice, or sparkling water.
That distinction is why we rank venues by NA Program Strength rather than treating every "mocktail option" as equal. A bar that lists three named NA cocktails on its printed menu is doing the work; a bar that says "we can probably do something" is not.
