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.

Set in the historic Luhrs Building downtown, Bitter & Twisted is one of Phoenix's most decorated cocktail bars — open since 2014, and a top-ten finalist for Best U.S. Cocktail Bar at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards. It takes its zero-proof side as seriously as the rest. Alongside a dedicated spirit-free menu, the team says roughly 60 percent of the full cocktail list can be built without alcohol, and the bar has developed non-alcoholic versions of a dozen or so menu staples rather than a token pair. Named NA drinks have included the Nada Colada, the fizzy hibiscus-sage-cinnamon Miss Nightingale, the Rhubarb-Ba-Arandas, RUM DMC, an NA Pornstar Martini, and Hasta La Vista, Berry! — 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!
- Rhubarb-Ba-Arandas
- RUM DMC

The Ahwatukee room is part of a four-site Arizona group that calls itself a 100% alcohol alternative bar, and it runs 8am to 11pm through the week and to midnight on Friday and Saturday, with bar counters, lounge seating and live music. The drinks are properly built and properly named — Queen of Hearts, Mercury, Kava Colada, The Hatter, Topsy Turvey, Kavachata and Roses Are Pink, plus non-alcoholic takes on a margarita and a piña colada. IMPORTANT for readers in recovery: the group's own description is a wide selection of kava, kratom and botanical blends. Kratom acts on opioid receptors and carries dependence and withdrawal risk that kava does not, so check what is in a given build before ordering.
Signature NA drinks- Queen of Hearts
- The Hatter
- Kava Colada
- Kavachata
- Topsy Turvey

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' section of non-alcoholic glasses built with the same care as the cocktails. The menu rotates around immersive themes; on the current Midnight in Paris list every zero-proof drink is a $14 alcohol-free twin of a signature cocktail — Kiwi's Nest, Château de Chambord, Epernay, Monet's Garden, and Palais Garnier — built on N/A spirits, house cordials and foams. Earlier spirit-free builds such as the Artemis, Earth, and Foam on the Rim retired with the previous theme. DiningOut Phoenix listed it among the metro bars worth visiting specifically for a mocktail in May 2026. Entry is via the coffee shop above; reservations are advisable at weekends.
Signature NA drinks- Kiwi's Nest Zero Proof (NA kiwi cordial, taro-coco milk, lime)
- Château de Chambord Zero Proof (N/A spirit, tropical green tea, raspberry, lime, lemon perfume, rose water)
- Epernay Zero Proof (N/A gin, vanilla cordial, blueberry, lemon, N/A cardamom bitters, lemon-lime soda)
- Monet's Garden Zero Proof (N/A spirit, cantaloupe, honey, lemon, Free Brothers orange, Jamaican lemon soda)
- Palais Garnier Zero Proof (N/A spirit, basil, sage, honey, apple cordial, lemon, salt, caramelized carrot foam, cinnamon)

A fully alcohol-free lounge in Glendale and one of the only true sober bars in the West Valley — the entire menu is non-alcoholic, spanning botanical-tea cocktails and kava-based builds that mimic familiar drinks: a Zero 'Bull, a Blushing Lemon, a kava Pina Colada, a kava White Russian. Founded by Alanna and Chloe, the room deliberately blends kava bar, speakeasy and upscale lounge, with dim lighting and red LEDs rather than the clinical feel a lot of sober spaces settle for, and it runs weekly open mics and live music. Important: it serves kratom as well as kava. Both are alcohol-free and both are psychoactive — this is an alcohol-free room, not a substance-free one.
Signature NA drinks- Zero 'Bull
- Blushing Lemon
- Piña Colada (kava)
- White Russian (kava)

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. These are crafted non-alcoholic cocktails built on real NA spirits like Seedlip and Lyre's rather than a token mocktail: the Hellfire works Seedlip Grove 42 with blueberry puree, orgeat, citrus, ginger beer and cracked black pepper; A Botanist Walks Into a Bar uses jalapeno-infused Seedlip Garden; Truth or Consequences is built on Lyre's Italian Orange with strawberry and grapefruit oleo. Phoenix New Times has repeatedly named it a go-to for alcohol-free drinks that are actually printed 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)

One of Arizona's most ambitious cocktail destinations, Century Grand houses three distinct concepts under one roof — the train-car experience Platform 18, the apothecary-styled Grey Hen Rx, and the below-deck tiki bar UnderTow — and is now operated by the Barter & Shake hospitality group. A repeat national-awards finalist, the bar team distils its own alcohol-free spirits in house and uses them across all three rooms, so the zero-proof builds are made from the same base as everything else rather than assembled from juice. Named non-alcoholic drinks run across the concepts: the Constable's Companion at Platform 18 (gin alternative, mint, poblano, lime), Chart the Course and Mark My Words at Grey Hen Rx, and the Shipless Sailor below deck at UnderTow.
Signature NA drinks- Constable's Companion
- Chart the Course
- Mark My Words
- Prayer at Mid-day

Twisted Totem trades noon to 2am, seven days a week, on North 7th Street, under a slogan that leaves nothing ambiguous: zero alcohol, all vibes. It describes itself as a watering hole with no bar-tab hangover, and the room is fitted for staying — custom wall art, comfortable seating, big TVs and games consoles. The kava is graded House and Premium by size, with Island Warrior as the signature build. IMPORTANT for readers in recovery: kratom is a headline category here, not a footnote — Crushed Leaf Tea, Jamaica, Unkie Palmer and the house Josh Juice are all kratom drinks. Kratom acts on opioid receptors and carries dependence and withdrawal risk that kava does not, so order by name rather than by vibe.
Signature NA drinks- Island Warrior (signature kava build)
- House Kava shell
- Premium Kava shell

A fourth-floor cocktail bar above the Residence Inn/Courtyard in downtown Phoenix, Little Rituals was a James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Bar Program in both 2024 and 2025 — and it treats its alcohol-free drinks with the same seriousness as the spirited list, with roughly 40 percent of the menu available without alcohol. Syrups, infusions and foams are all made in house, which is what separates these from sweetened juice. Named non-alcoholic builds include the N/A Paloma (spirit-free blanco tequila, seasonal grapefruit soda, key lime, sea salt), an N/A White Grapefruit and Koji Paloma, and the blackberry-lemon Big City Nights.
Signature NA drinks- N/A Paloma
- N/A White Grapefruit + Koji Paloma

An upscale cocktail lounge on 1st Avenue in downtown Phoenix, built around the conceit of a fairytale garden and its resident peacock, Penrose. The botanical theme runs through the drinks rather than stopping at the decor, and the non-alcoholic builds are made from the same components as the rest of the list: Seedlip Garden and Seedlip Grove worked with butterfly pea flower, lavender and fresh herbs. DiningOut Phoenix listed it among the metro bars worth visiting specifically for a mocktail in May 2026. It opens Tuesday through Sunday from 4pm, running to midnight on Friday and Saturday, and sits a block from the light rail — easy to reach without driving, and easy to leave when the rest of the group is still going.
Signature NA drinks- Let It Burn (NA: seedlip grove, pomegranate juice, maple syrup, lemon)
- Lazy Lover (NA: seedlip garden, jalapeno, thyme agave, lime)
- Gardeners Palmer (NA: lavender, rosemary, lemon, sugar, big marble proper lemon soda, butterfly pea tea)

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. Named zero-proof builds include the Captain's Colada (coconut cream, allspice falernum syrup, pineapple juice), the Castaway Cooler (a fruity ginger beer build) and the Hula Juice, which layers passion fruit syrup with pineapple, orange and cranberry. Tiki is a format that works unusually well without alcohol — the sweetness, spice and presentation carry the drink rather than the rum — and Hula's leans into that rather than treating the non-alcoholic list as an obligation. Multiple Valley locations, with the Old Town room the most central.
Signature NA drinks- Captain's Colada
- Castaway Cooler
- Hula Juice

The New American restaurant at Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley, with hearth-fired cooking and a dining room angled at Camelback Mountain — and an unusually generous non-alcoholic list for a resort. The spirit-free options are built on named NA spirits rather than juice, leaning on Seedlip and the Cornish botanical brand Pentire: the Blueberry Basil Bliss (Seedlip Garden 108, lemon, blueberry, basil), the Pink Petal (Pentire, grapefruit, hibiscus) and the Berry-Berry-Berry Delightful. Reaching past Seedlip to a second, less common NA spirit is the signal here — it indicates someone chose the range rather than ordering the default bottle.
Signature NA drinks- Blueberry Basil Bliss
- Pink Petal
- Berry-Berry-Berry Delightful

The Mesa branch of Mad Hatter bills itself simply as an alcohol-free social lounge offering a night out without the hangover, and it keeps its own site and its own hours — 9am to 10pm through the week, 11pm on Friday and Saturday, 8pm on Sunday. The menu covers premium kava, botanical teas and handcrafted non-alcoholic drinks, with two house builds named on the front page: Topsy Turvey, made with passion fruit, vanilla and lime, and the KavaColoda, built on pineapple, coconut and lime. For the East Valley — Mesa, Tempe and Chandler — this is one of a very small number of rooms that are alcohol-free by design rather than by omission, and it is the only Mad Hatter site with an independent web presence.
Signature NA drinks- Topsy Turvey (passion fruit, vanilla, lime)
- KavaColoda (pineapple, coconut, lime)

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, in practice, the room where you wait for a table at one of the most famous pizzerias in the United States. Most of its non-alcoholic drinks pair Seedlip spirits with house-made syrups, producing layered, low-sweetness builds like the citrusy Vinifera Spice and the herbal Mariposa Milk. Phoenix New Times has singled out that Seedlip-and-housemade-syrup pairing as exactly what separates the list here from the sweetened juice most restaurants hand to non-drinkers while they wait for a table.
Signature NA drinks- Vinifera Spice
- Mariposa Milk

The downtown Phoenix pub from one of Arizona's most acclaimed breweries — and one of the few anywhere that brews its own non-alcoholic beer rather than stocking someone else's. Arizona Wilderness released ARIZO[NA], billed as the state's first non-alcoholic IPA, with bright citrus, balanced bitterness and a snappy finish, and donates 2 percent of its sales to the Arizona Trail Association every year. The taproom also pours Wild Water, a zero-proof sparkling water hopped with El Dorado and Mosaic. Founded in 2013 by Jonathan Buford and Patrick Ware and named Best New Brewery in the World by RateBeer within months of opening, the company built its identity on water stewardship in a drought state — its slogan is "Drink Like You Care".
Signature NA drinks- ARIZO[NA] non-alcoholic IPA
- Wild Water (hopped sparkling water)
- NA Program Strength: 4 of 5?
A gastropub in the middle of Old Town Scottsdale that has been trading since 2011 and passed its fifteenth anniversary in February 2026, Citizen Public House is best known locally for the Original Chopped Salad — and, less obviously, for treating its non-alcoholic list as part of the bar program rather than an afterthought. The spirit-free builds run on real NA spirits: the Gemini pairs Seedlip Grove 42 with butterfly pea flower tea, ginger syrup and lemon, and the Nojito works pressed mint, elderflower tea syrup, lime and soda. Phoenix New Times included it in its round-up of metro bars where alcohol-free drinks are actually printed on the menu.
Signature NA drinks- Gemini
- Nojito

The Scottsdale outpost of the Chicago steakhouse, sitting on Camelback Road with a bar and lounge that runs a daily Tower Hour from 4pm. Its non-alcoholic drinks are built from real alcohol-free spirits rather than juice — the Lavender & Luxury pairs CleanCo non-alcoholic gin with lychee, honey and a foam, and the Like a Virgin is a spiced take on a margarita. DiningOut Phoenix named it among the metro bars worth going to for a mocktail in May 2026. A steakhouse rather than a bar, so expect to be eating; the zero-proof drinks sit alongside a large wine and spirits programme.
Signature NA drinks- Lavender & Luxury
- Like a Virgin
- NA Program Strength: 4 of 5?
A wine bar and bottle merchant on San Marcos Place in historic downtown Chandler, at the southeastern edge of the Phoenix metro. It describes itself as equal parts wine bar and conversational destination, and its non-alcoholic drinks are made from real NA spirits rather than soft drinks: the Citrusy Glow is Seedlip Citrus with fresh lemon, and the Spice Girl works berries against Seedlip Spice. DiningOut Phoenix named it among the metro bars worth visiting for a mocktail in May 2026. Open from 11am on weekdays, with a nightly Rebel Hour from 7pm seven days a week, and quiet enough to hold a conversation in.
Signature NA drinks- Citrusy Glow
- Spice Girl
- NA Program Strength: 3 of 5?
Chef Angelo Sosa's modern Southwestern restaurant at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge runs a thoughtful non-alcoholic lineup alongside an agave-driven bar. Named zero-proof drinks include the Short & Spicy (aguachile, ginger, pineapple) and the Tall & Bubbly (prickly pear, hibiscus, sparkling apple cider), both drawing on the same desert-Southwest larder as the kitchen rather than defaulting to citrus and syrup. The non-alcoholic beer list reaches well past the usual single option, carrying Athletic Brewing's Upside Dawn and several Bravus Brewing beers — a rarity in resort dining, where the NA fridge is normally one lager nobody has checked the date on.
Signature NA drinks- Short & Spicy
- Tall & Bubbly
- NA Program Strength: 3 of 5?
A modern sushi-and-whiskey restaurant on 7th Avenue in the Melrose District of Phoenix, with a deeper non-alcoholic list than the format suggests. Several zero-proof drinks are built on Seedlip rather than juice: the Virgin Garden pairs Seedlip Garden with lemon, muddled cucumber and soda, and the Nordic Brace sets Seedlip Garden against hibiscus, lemon and a jalapeno-ginger note. The pairing logic is sound — the herbaceous, low-sugar register of a Seedlip Garden build sits alongside raw fish far better than the sweet mocktails most sushi restaurants default to. Open daily from 4:30pm in a neighbourhood worth arriving early for; the whiskey list remains the house identity.
Signature NA drinks- Virgin Garden
- Nordic Brace
- NA Program Strength: 3 of 5?
A reservation-only afternoon tea room on Warner Road in south Tempe, open four days a week and closing at 5pm. The draw for non-drinkers is a tea service built around loose-leaf blends plus a small list of named mocktails — the Two Days Slow and the Jack of Hearts — which DiningOut Phoenix highlighted in its May 2026 round-up of metro bars worth visiting for a mocktail. Worth being clear about: despite the tea-room format it is not alcohol-free, and its own materials advertise "special-tea cocktails" alongside the tea. Reservations are required and the short opening hours make walk-ins impractical.
Signature NA drinks- Two Days Slow
- Jack of Hearts
- NA Program Strength: 5 of 5?
A fully alcohol-free kava bar on Apache Boulevard in Tempe, a few minutes from the ASU campus, serving kava, kratom teas, mocktails and coffee. Regulars describe a room built for staying rather than passing through: cosy lighting, themed seating areas and a layout that encourages conversation, with a noise level low enough to actually hold one, which is an unusual quality anywhere and a rare one in a student district where the alternatives are uniformly loud. Open from noon most days and to 2am on Friday and Saturday, with drinks in the $10-20 range. Kava and kratom are alcohol-free but psychoactive; alcohol-free is not substance-free.
Signature NA drinks- Harbor Glow (kratom mocktail, oat milk)
- NA Program Strength: 4 of 5?
A tiny, immersive below-deck tiki bar themed around an 18th-century sailing voyage, UnderTow is a Phoenix cult favorite — and its menu runs a genuine lineup of spiritless tiki drinks built with non-alcoholic 'liquors' rather than just juice. The house alcohol-free spirits are distilled by the Century Grand team upstairs and used across all three of its concepts, so a zero-proof order here is the same programme on a different base. The Shipless Sailor is the one to know: a rum substitute worked with cinnamon, clove, orgeat, hibiscus, lime and pineapple. Now under the Barter & Shake group, with a second location in Gilbert; reservations are essentially required for the cramped, transportive room.
Signature NA drinks- Shipless Sailor

An all-day cafe and bar in downtown Chandler, in the southeast of the Phoenix metro, built so that the alcohol-free options are the point rather than an afterthought. Maple House pours espresso and coffee from 7am and moves into a full slate of zero-proof cocktails — including a Seedlip-based Nojito — as the evening comes on, in a comfortable, living-room-style room that stays open to 11pm on Friday and Saturday. Phoenix New Times named it Best Non-Alcoholic Drink Options in its 2024 Best of Phoenix awards, which for a suburban cafe competing against downtown cocktail bars is a genuine result.
Signature NA drinks- Nojito

A beloved neighborhood brewery on N 24th Street in central Phoenix, Wren House is known for some of Arizona's best IPAs — its flagship hazy, Spellbinder, took a Gold Medal in the Juicy/Hazy IPA category at the 2020 Great American Beer Festival. It also brews a zero-proof Non-Alcoholic Spellbinder at 0.5% ABV, built on the same Citra, Mosaic and Cascade hops with increased kettle hopping for bitterness and a dialled-in dry-hop ratio aimed at tangerine citrus. Axios Phoenix named it among the local non-alcoholic beers worth seeking out for Dry January. Note that the standard Spellbinder is alcoholic — ask specifically for the NA version.
Signature NA drinks- Non-Alcoholic Spellbinder (0.5% ABV NA IPA)

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 mocktail menu depth and 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.
Frequently asked about mocktails in Phoenix
24 venues in Phoenix serve named non-alcoholic cocktails on their menu. Top picks include Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour, Mad Hatter Kava | Ahwatukee, 36 Below.
A mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink built with the same craft and complexity as a cocktail — fresh juices, infused syrups, bitters, herbal tinctures, NA spirits — rather than just a soda or juice. The best NA bars treat mocktails as a real program, not a placeholder.
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.
Venues that publish named non-alcoholic cocktails come first, ordered by menu depth — the more named NA drinks a venue lists, the higher it ranks. Our NA Program Strength rating (1-5) breaks ties and reflects the program overall: 5 means a dedicated NA establishment, 4 an extensive NA menu, 3 meaningful NA options.
