Best Mocktails in Salt Lake City, UT
Salt Lake City may have the deepest non-alcoholic scene in the country relative to its size — Utah's large non-drinking population means a real zero-proof option is the rule, not an afterthought. The fully alcohol-free corner is anchored by 1833 Craft, a Sugar House speakeasy whose entire menu is zero-proof (the name nods to 1833, the year of the Latter-day Saint "Word of Wisdom"), and Botanika, the city's first non-alcoholic bottle shop and gourmet grocer in the Granary. Downtown carries the craft-cocktail depth: Post Office Place prints a full non-alcoholic menu, Laurel Brasserie at The Grand America runs a standing "Zero Proof" list, and Lake Effect, Bar X, Copper Common, The Ruin, and Van Ryder's rooftop "Proofless" menu all build spirit-free drinks with real care. HK Brewing brews its own award-winning Han's Kombucha and zero-proof cocktails in the Ballpark district, the Polynesian kava lounge Kai Po holds down the late-night sober-social side, and the all-ages SHOUT dance club proves a night out downtown doesn't need a drop of alcohol.

Salt Lake City's dedicated non-alcoholic speakeasy, opened in December 2024 inside a restored century-old Sugar House home known as The Eclipse House and run by sibling team Matthew and Kelly LaPlante. The entire menu is zero-proof — "0% Alcohol, 100% Heart" — built by co-owner and lead bartender Matthew, a former Salt Lake Tribune reporter who quit drinking but never left bar culture, with his sister Kelly, a designer, styling the room as a forest-green, 1920s-inspired lounge. The duo have developed 50-plus craft NA cocktails on premium spirits like Lyre's, Dhōs, Trejo's and Kentucky 74, finished with herbs from their own basement hydroponic garden. The name nods to 1833, the year of the Latter-day Saint "Word of Wisdom," and because nothing on the menu contains alcohol, no ID is required — a genuine cocktail experience for people in recovery, designated drivers, never-drinkers, and the sober-curious.
Signature NA drinks- The LBGT (lavender-juniper NA gin & tonic)
- Libre Libre (herbal cola, dark cane, lime, hydroponic mint)
- Cinnamon Espresso Martini
- The Bartender's Affections (give three words, get a custom drink)

A women-owned, queer-owned kombucha brewery and taproom in the Ballpark/Granary district that doubles as one of the metro's strongest zero-proof cocktail programs — winner of City Weekly's "Best Zero-Proof Cocktails" in 2024 and 2025. The taproom opened in spring 2023 inside a converted former auto-repair shop, the project of founder Hannah Hendrickson, who began brewing Han's Kombucha while at the University of Utah, and co-owner Kate Lubing. Non-alcoholic Han's Kombucha is fermented on-site, poured in a build-your-own flight, and forms the base of many crafted zero-proof cocktails like the High Noon Hibiscus Mule. As Lubing puts it, whether a guest is sober-curious, fully sober, a cocktail lover or a beer drinker, the space is built so everyone feels equally considered.
Signature NA drinks- Han's Kombucha flight
- High Noon Hibiscus Mule (zero-proof)
- Ginger Hibiscus kombucha

Opened in June 2018 by Takashi and Tamara Gibo — the team behind the acclaimed Takashi sushi next door — Post Office Place is an intimate craft cocktail bar that shares an entrance with the restaurant on Market Street. Known for a deep Japanese whisky list and a James Beard Foundation Outstanding Bar Program semifinalist nod in 2023, it also keeps one of the most thorough printed non-alcoholic menus in Salt Lake City. The dedicated NA menu itemizes a bottled St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, Athletic NA beers, Gruvi Sparkling Rosé, and build-your-own zero-proof cocktails on Spiritless (Kentucky 74, Jalisco 55), Dhōs Gin, and Monday Zero whisky — plus a bespoke "Bartender Roulette" the team crafts to order. In 2026 the bar was named Salt Lake magazine's Best Restaurant alongside its Takashi omakase collaboration.
Signature NA drinks- St. Agrestis Phony Negroni (bottled NA negroni, $9)
- Bartender Roulette (build-your-own NA cocktail, made to order)
- Spiritless Kentucky 74 & Jalisco 55 builds
- Dhōs Gin builds

- Gruvi Sparkling Rosé (NA wine)

A fully alcohol-free mobile mocktail bar founded in 2020 by Annali and Cameron Walker, who started the company after failing to find a "high-class soda bar" for their own wedding reception. Every drink is zero-proof — the founders describe mocktails as "mock cocktails" where all the options have 0% alcohol — built into custom, color-matched menus and served from portable bars, with options like a blackberry-jalapeño-salt mocktail, peach-strawberry, and grapefruit-mango. Based in the Lehi/Riverton area, it caters weddings, corporate functions and private events across the Salt Lake metro, and has been featured on KUTV and in Voyage Utah.
Signature NA drinks- Blackberry, jalapeño & salt mocktail
- Peach-strawberry
- Grapefruit-mango

A downtown Salt Lake City craft cocktail bar, Latin-inspired kitchen, and live-music venue that opened in 2017 inside a historic 1910 building. Spread across three spaces — the main floor, the Rabbit Hole jazz speakeasy downstairs, and the Church bar and club upstairs — it pairs an extensive cocktail program with a dedicated Non-Alcoholic Beverages menu that gets the same craft treatment as the full bar. The zero-proof list leans on premium NA spirits, with Seedlip-based mocktails like Like A Virgin and Mountain Flower, Monday Zero whiskey builds such as the New Fashioned and an NY Whiskey Sour, and Dhōs-based highballs. Axios Salt Lake City has highlighted Lake Effect's list of non-alcoholic libations as a reliable stop for a Dry January or sober night out.
Signature NA drinks- Like A Virgin (Seedlip Notas de Agave, tart cherry, Mountain High Chai, lime, soda, rosemary)
- Mountain Flower (Seedlip Notas de Agave, lime, grapefruit, lavender pea-flower tea, agave)
- New Fashioned (Monday Zero whiskey, High West syrup, bitters)
- Monday's NY Whiskey Sour (Monday NA whiskey, lemon, High West syrup, egg white, clean cabernet float)
- Tommy's Collins (Dhōs Gin Free, Dhōs Bittersweet, coconut water, passion fruit, prickly pear, lemon)

Inside The Grand America Hotel, Laurel Brasserie & Bar pairs classic European cuisine with a modern American approach and runs a standing zero-proof, alcohol-free cocktail list the kitchen treats as the equal of its cocktail program rather than an afterthought. The lineup is anchored by the Eastside — built on Seedlip Spice with muddled cucumber, kaffir lime syrup and lime, per Utah Stories — alongside a seasonal shrub, the coconut-forward Dreamcicle, and a Tamarind Lemon Spritz, each priced like a happy-hour bite at $7. Developed under beverage director Mark Moulton and opened in late 2021, it is one of the clearest documented NA programs in a fine-dining setting downtown.
Signature NA drinks- Eastside (Seedlip Spice, cucumber, kaffir lime syrup, lime)
- Seasonal Shrub
- Dreamcicle (coconut cream, lime, orange, nutmeg)
- Tamarind Lemon Spritz

A downtown craft cocktail bar and gastropub from chef Ryan Lowder, part of his CO Hospitality group alongside The Copper Onion. Opened in 2014 in the former Plum Alley space and rebooted as "Copper Common 2.0" in 2022, it was named Salt Lake magazine's 2025 Best Restaurant. Its bartenders treat alcohol-free orders with the same care as the acclaimed cocktail list: the signature move is "mocktail roulette," a bartender's-choice non-alcoholic cocktail they'll also tailor to your taste, backed by a low-ABV menu for those on the fence — making it a consistent pick among the city's best for alcohol-free drinking.
Signature NA drinks- Mocktail Roulette (bartender's-choice NA cocktail)

A historic downtown cocktail bar that traces its roots to 1933 and was restored into its current craft-cocktail incarnation in 2011 by a group that includes Modern Family actor Ty Burrell. There's no fixed mocktail menu; instead bartenders take a "roulette" approach, asking what flavors you're craving and building custom zero-proof drinks from house-made syrups, fresh juices, ginger beer and tinctures — sometimes finishing with a flamed-cinnamon flourish for theater. The Salt Lake Tribune singled out Bar X for its non-alcoholic creativity, and as manager Julie Tall puts it, the staff geek out over flavors more than the spirits, so cocktails and mocktails get equal care.
Signature NA drinks- Bespoke bartender's-choice craft mocktails

An 11th-floor rooftop bar atop the Le Méridien Salt Lake City Downtown, opened in February 2023 with a Western-saloon aesthetic. Its non-alcoholic program is unusually deep: a dedicated "Proofless Cocktails" menu (the Honey Badger Redux and Meet Me in The Garden, both around $11) plus a separate "Proofless Beer" list. Director of Libations and Service Elyse Evan has put the zero-proof program at roughly 15% of total sales, with NA beer running 25-30% of all beer sales. The spirit-free builds get the same care as the full rooftop cocktail list, served against floor-to-ceiling skyline and Wasatch Range views.
Signature NA drinks- Honey Badger Redux (ginger honey, lemon, apple cider vinegar, club soda)
- Meet Me in The Garden (lime, simple, basil oil, cucumber, black pepper)
- ★★★★★?
An upscale, whiskey-forward cocktail bar on the second floor above the Grand Hall of the restored 1908 Union Pacific Depot, opened in late 2024 with the Asher Adams (Marriott Autograph Collection) hotel at The Gateway downtown. Named after the historic Union Pacific No. 119 steam locomotive, it pairs original stained glass and terrazzo floors with skyline views. The hotel's food and beverage director has said the bar carries roughly as many non-alcoholic options as traditional cocktails, anchoring a serious zero-proof program built on NA spirits like Seedlip Garden 108.
Signature NA drinks- Garden Boxcar (Seedlip Garden 108, Peychaud's bitters, mint, sparkling water)

A Polynesian-owned, family-operated kava lounge and restaurant on the State Street corridor in South Salt Lake, where the owner shares the ancestral history of kava alongside every pour. The fully alcohol-free bar serves traditional kava, an ever-rotating line of flavored kava shots (the guava version and a fall "KavaChata" kava-horchata among them), kava mocktails, and exotic teas, paired with island-style Polynesian plates and desserts. With a DJ spinning relaxed island and old-school West Coast music, it bills itself as "Good Vibes Only" and is one of the few zero-proof social bars in the metro open into the early-morning hours.
Signature NA drinks- Traditional kava
- Flavored kava shots (e.g. guava, KavaChata kava-horchata)
- Kava mocktails
- Exotic teas

Salt Lake magazine's 2025 Best Restaurant, a buzzy New American spot tucked into the historic Franklin Avenue Variety Theatre building on Edison Street downtown — the fourth Salt Lake concept from the Bourbon Group, with chef Matt Crandall's menu mixing elevated plates with sharp bar food. For non-drinkers, the kitchen runs a rotating seasonal mocktail menu alongside its whiskey- and amaro-leaning cocktail list; City Cast Salt Lake singled out a comforting hibiscus-and-cinnamon hot-toddy-style mocktail as a standout. The art-covered, leather-and-exposed-brick basement room is a frequent recommendation for the downtown Edison Street cluster (note it is 21+).
Signature NA drinks- Rotating seasonal mocktails
- Hibiscus-cinnamon hot-toddy-style mocktail (seasonal)

A Central 9th Vietnamese street-food restaurant and cocktail bar opened in spring 2022 by chef-owner Tommy Nguyen, who rolled sushi at Takashi for years and helped open Rye, Post Office Place and Alibi's taco program before launching his own homage to his mother's cooking. The Southeast-Asian-inspired drink program extends to the non-alcoholic side: City Cast Salt Lake readers named The Pearl's bartender's-choice mocktails the best in Salt Lake City. It's a lively, no-reservations, 21+ spot with one of the city's best warm-weather patios, named one of Salt Lake magazine's 19 Best Restaurants of 2025.
Signature NA drinks- Southeast-Asian-inspired bartender's-choice mocktails

A 6th-floor rooftop Northern Spanish restaurant atop the downtown Hyatt Regency, serving Basque- and Catalan-inspired tapas, wild game and a suckling-pig experience under executive chef Tyson Peterson, with sweeping skyline and Wasatch Mountain views. The name pairs "mar" (sea) and "muntanya" (mountain). Opened in October 2022, it leans into Spain's gin-and-tonic culture with four specialty G&Ts, and keeps non-drinkers in mind during cocktail hour with a non-alcoholic sangria and a rotating $8 mocktail.
Signature NA drinks- Non-Alcoholic Sangria (cranberry, citrus, seasonal fruit) — $8
- Mocktail ($8, rotating non-alcoholic option)

One of Salt Lake City's oldest brewpubs — opened in Trolley Square in 1972 (originally "The Pub") and brewing its own beer on-site since 1995. For non-drinkers, the menu carries a documented NA lineup: the house Pub's Hop Water Seltzer NA, Heineken 0.0, and Athletic Brewing's Run Wild non-alcoholic IPA. A full espresso bar — lattes, mochas, americanos and steamers — makes it an easy daytime or alcohol-free evening stop, alongside a from-scratch New American kitchen and award-winning beers.
Signature NA drinks- Pub's Hop Water Seltzer NA
- Heineken 0.0
- Athletic Run Wild NA IPA

Shades Brewing's Ballpark taproom occupies the renovated "Engine Block" building on 300 West, where the team — which grew from a 500-square-foot Park City garage — brews craft beer on-site across roughly 50 taps and runs a full kitchen. For non-drinkers it keeps a branded "Stripped" mocktail menu, including the Stripped Geared Mule (pineapple, lime, lemon, mint and ginger beer), plus packaged non-alcoholic seltzers — a deliberate nod to inclusivity in an otherwise beer-forward room (note it is 21+). The NA offering is the mocktail program rather than an in-house 0.0% beer.
Signature NA drinks- Stripped Geared Mule (pineapple, lime, lemon, mint, ginger beer) — $9

An eco-focused Granary District brewery and taproom founded in 2016 by Utah native Andrew Dasenbrock, who named it after the Finnish word for "thanks." The 608 W 700 S location is the company's brewing, canning and retail hub, pairing rotating taps and an on-site can shop with pinball machines, arcade games and handmade food from neighboring Rico Foods. Built around sustainability — including wind-generated electricity and a high-efficiency brewing system — it pours a house Hop Water NA, a non-alcoholic hopped sparkling water, alongside a non-alcoholic Peach Seltzer, giving the room genuine made-here zero-proof options.
Signature NA drinks- Hop Water NA (non-alcoholic hopped sparkling water)
- Peach Seltzer (non-alcoholic)

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.
