Best Mocktails in San Francisco, CA
San Francisco's non-alcoholic scene is one of the country's deepest, anchored by two dedicated alcohol-free spots: Ocean Beach Cafe (billed as the city's first AF bar and bottle shop) in the Outer Richmond, and The New Bar, a fully zero-proof bottle shop and tasting bar in Cow Hollow. The real strength, though, is how seriously SF's world-class bars and restaurants take spirit-free: Michelin tasting menus build dedicated non-alcoholic pairings (Kiln, Anomaly, Nari), craft cocktail bars print real zero-proof lists (Bar Iris, Last Rites, ABV, Pacific Cocktail Haven, Trick Dog, True Laurel), Fort Point's Valencia beer hall pours its own NA beer, and spots like Copra, Palm House, Wildseed, and Fiorella round out a city where not drinking never means settling for a soda.

Ocean Beach Cafe is an all-day cafe, fully alcohol-free bar and non-alcoholic bottle shop at 734 La Playa Street in the Outer Richmond, one block from Ocean Beach. It was opened by career bartender Joshua James, who bills it as San Francisco's first non-alcoholic bar, and it serves scratch-made food and Four Barrel coffee alongside craft zero-proof cocktails, chai and kava. The retail side stocks one of the largest selections of non-alcoholic beer, wine and spirits in the country. The cafe also runs Temperance Tastings, alcohol-free mixology classes, a private lounge called Temperance and a membership programme, Club AF. The San Francisco Standard has called it the granddaddy of the city's alcohol-free nightlife, and it is the anchor of non-alcoholic drinking in San Francisco.

Haraz Coffee House is a fully alcohol-free Yemeni coffeehouse at Franklin and Bush in Cathedral Hill, the first California location of the Dearborn, Michigan chain founded by Hamzah Nasser in 2021. It trades from 7am to 11pm seven days a week, which puts it in a small group of San Francisco rooms that function as an evening gathering place without a liquor licence. The menu is built on traditional Yemeni preparations rather than on syrups: Harazi Mufawar (coffee, cardamom and cream), Adeni and Karak chai (black tea with Haraz spice and cream), Jubani, Sana'ani, Maleki, Qishr brewed from dried coffee cherry husks, and a Saudi coffee with saffron and cardamom. An espresso bar, a matcha list and a range of frappes and refreshers run alongside, with saffron cakes, honeycomb bread and Yemeni pastries from the kitchen.

Cavaña is a Latin American rooftop bar on the seventeenth floor of the LUMA Hotel in Mission Bay, with a dance floor, a DJ and skyline views over the ballpark. It trades to midnight on weeknights and 1am on Friday and Saturday. The alcohol-free drinks are printed under a spirit-free heading on the main cocktail menu and run to six: Maracuyá, built on Almave agave spirit and Wilderton Citrus with aperitivo, passionfruit agave and lime; Phoney Mezcal Negroni, with a Peruvian agave distillate, Pathfinder amaro and Abstinence blood orange aperitif; Guava Fresca; Michelada-Nada, made with non-alcoholic cerveza and the house michelada mix; Chicha Morada, the Peruvian purple corn punch; and Bananito, spiced banana oat milk with a cold brew float.

Haraz Coffee House's second San Francisco cafe sits on Kearny Street between Bush and Sutter, a downtown block otherwise given over to bars and old-guard restaurants. Like the Franklin Street original it is entirely alcohol-free, and it trades from 7am to 9pm seven days a week, which makes it one of very few Financial District rooms where an after-work meeting does not have to happen over a drinks list. The menu is the chain's Yemeni one: Harazi Mufawar built from coffee, cardamom and cream; Adeni and Karak chai simmered with the house spice blend; Qishr made from dried coffee cherry husks; Jubani, Sana'ani and Maleki coffees; and a saffron-and-cardamom Saudi coffee, with an espresso and matcha bar and Yemeni pastries alongside.

Delah Coffee is the original San Francisco Yemeni coffeehouse, opened in SoMa in July 2022 by Omar Jahamee, then eighteen, with his uncle Majed Jahamee. KQED credits it as the first Yemeni coffee shop to open in the Bay Area, ahead of the wave of more than twenty that followed. The Fourth Street cafe is entirely alcohol-free and trades from 6am to 11pm on weeknights and to midnight on Friday and Saturday, which makes it a genuine late option rather than a morning-only stop. The drinks are traditional: Sana'ani, the house black coffee with cardamom; Jubani, a light roast with cardamom, ginger and cinnamon; Arabian Qawah; and Adeni chai, Yemeni black tea cooked with cream and Delah's own spice blend. Turkish delights and turnovers baked daily fill the counter.

Sana'a Cafe is an alcohol-free Yemeni coffeehouse at New Montgomery and Howard, named after the Yemeni capital and open from 6:30am to 10pm on weekdays and 8am to 10pm at weekends. CBS News Bay Area profiled it in April 2024, with manager Sam Mardaei explaining that the team's aim was to bring Yemeni culture to the city. The list runs to signature Adeni chai, Sana'ani coffee, qishr brewed from dried coffee cherry husks, mofawar and Spanish lattes, alongside pistachio and rose lattes and a pastry counter of saffron milk cake, Biscoff desserts, baklava and honeycomb bread. The room seats a steady evening crowd of downtown workers and students well after the surrounding coffee counters have closed.

Sana'a Cafe's Drumm Street location opened in 2026 in a former Starbucks unit near the Embarcadero, and trades 7am to 10pm every day of the week. It is entirely alcohol-free, and the Bay Area Telegraph singled the fifteen-hour trading day out as the point of the place, describing it as a genuine evening destination rather than a morning latte stop. The menu combines familiar cafe orders with Yemeni specialities: pistachio, rose and Yemeni lattes, qishr made from the dried husks of coffee cherries, Adeni chai, Arabic light roast coffee and mofawar, with honeycomb pastries, baklava, milk cakes and savoury turnovers from the counter. For Financial District workers it is one of very few post-work rooms that is not a bar.

Last Rites is a "Polynesian Noir" tiki bar that opened in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle in 2018 from Justin Lew and Ian Scalzo (the team also behind nearby Horsefeather). The room is built as a crashed-plane-in-the-jungle: a real airplane fuselage forms the bar, surrounded by banyan roots, stone booths, fire-breathing skull idols, fog, and storm effects. The cocktail program leans grown-up and rum-deep (150+ rums), skipping the blue-curaçao tiki clichés. Notably for a serious cocktail bar, it prints five named zero-proof drinks on the main menu at about $14 each — built on house-made "LR N/A Cask Spirit" and "N/A Cane Spirit" plus Pathfinder no-ABV spirit — so the alcohol-free cocktails get the same theatrical treatment as the full-proof ones. Named NA pours include the Golden Idol, Glass Ruby, Mocking Bird, Wrong Island, and El Peligosto. Wednesday bingo nights are a local draw.

ABV is a Mission District cocktail bar that opened in summer 2014, founded by Erik Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ryan Fitzgerald, and Todd Smith (a founding Bourbon & Branch bartender). It was named Imbibe Magazine's 2015 Bar of the Year and ranked #39 in the inaugural North America's 50 Best Bars (2022), the only San Francisco bar on that list. The menu is organized by base spirit, with dedicated "LOW ABV" and "0% ABV" sections that make the no/low offering a standing, structured part of the program rather than an afterthought. The non-alcoholic cocktails ($14) center on a house "n/a aperitif" and bright, fresh builds — the N/A Negroni (n/a aperitif, charred grapefruit tonic), Flightless Bird, Green Dream (tarragon, lemon, ginger, tonic), and Jumpstart (carrot, ginger, turmeric, lemon, soda) — alongside Lagunitas Hop Water and IPNA. ABV makes drinks to order and runs a late kitchen until midnight.

Wildseed is a 100% plant-based restaurant on the corner of Union and Buchanan in Cow Hollow, serving a Mediterranean-leaning menu of shareable plates, mezze, and pizzas. Its bar treats non-alcoholic drinks as a real category rather than an afterthought: a dedicated mocktail list and a "0% ABV" refreshments section appear right on the cocktail menu. Zero-proof builds lean on NA spirits and house ingredients — fresh juices, shrubs, kombuchas, and homemade extracts — including a Negroni AF (NA Ritual gin, melati amaro, house aperitivo, orange), a Love & Lavender (NA Ritual gin, lavender, butterfly pea tea, Wilderton citrus, fee foam), an NA Spicy Pineapple Margarita (jalapeño-infused NA tequila, pineapple, lime, Tajín), and a Serenity Spritz. Lower-effort options include Charcoal Lemonade, Koast Kombucha, house sodas, and cold-pressed juices, making it a dependable spot for an alcohol-free dinner out.

Starlite is the 21st-floor bar of the Beacon Grand hotel on Powell Street in Union Square, a room that has served cocktails since 1928 and reopened after the hotel's restoration with drinks by Scott Baird and a bites menu by chef Johnny Spero. Its non-alcoholic programme is a printed menu section titled The Free Spirited, holding four zero-proof cocktails at $16 named for the seasons: Spring, built on Navarro verjus with lemon, honey, chamomile and club soda; Summer, with passion fruit, lime, vanilla, coconut water, butterfly pea flower and saline; Autumn, with jasmine tea, pomegranate, ginger five-spice syrup, white miso and lemon; and Winter, with carrot juice, toasted almond milk, cinnamon, star anise and Meyer lemon. NON 1 zero-proof wine and Athletic Brewing's Upside Dawn complete the section.

Comstock Saloon is a North Beach bar on Columbus Avenue built in the style of a nineteenth-century San Francisco saloon, with a long mahogany bar, a classics-led cocktail list and a kitchen serving through the evening. Its non-alcoholic drinks sit in a dedicated section of the printed menu and are made to the same specifications as the full-proof list. Five are named: the Torino Spritz, with Martini & Rossi Floreale, non-alcoholic sparkling wine and seltzer; the No-No Nogroni, built on Lyre's gin, Giffard aperitif and a house kombucha standing in for vermouth; Sbagliato Sbagliato, the same kombucha vermouth with NA sparkling wine and Giffard aperitif; Spruce Goose, with Pathfinder, black tea, Giffard aperitif and lemon; and Freebird, with Ritual rum, Giffard aperitif, pineapple and lime.

Nari is a one-Michelin-star contemporary Thai restaurant inside Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco's Japantown, from chef/owner Pim Techamuanvivit of Kin Khao. The name "Nari," a Thai word for "women," honors generations of Thai women who shaped the country's cuisine, and the kitchen filters traditional Thai cooking through California ingredients. The bar runs a small, deliberately edited "zero-proof cocktails" list that sits alongside the full cocktail and wine programs — five spirit-free drinks at $16 each, built on non-alcoholic spirits like Seedlip Grove and Pentire. Current named pours include the Unakarn (Seedlip Grove, shiso, lemongrass, tonic), the Suwan (Seedlip Grove, pomegranate, lime), the Nohra (Pentire Adrift, mint, lime, shiso), the Illa (Pentire, passionfruit, lemon, orgeat), and the dairy-forward Kusuma (mango-lassi, pandan, pineapple). It's a fine-dining destination, so reservations are recommended well in advance.

Bar Iris is a Japanese-influenced craft cocktail bar at 2310 Polk Street in Russian Hill / Polk Gulch, opened in early 2022 as the sibling to chef David Yoshimura's Michelin-starred restaurant Nisei next door. The program leans on Japanese spirits and long, seasonal ingredient lists, and its non-alcoholic offering is unusually deep: the bar keeps a standalone alcohol-free menu that currently runs nine N/A cocktails named for Japanese places, from the Kyoto — a non-alcoholic martini of Amass and Dhōs N/A spirits with Aplos Arise, narazuke brine and tsukemono — to the Yakushima (Okinawa purple yam, Wilderton Earthen, kalamansi, li hin mui), alongside a bottle list of dealcoholized sake, sparkling wine and riesling. Several cocktails on the main list are also marked as available non-alcoholic, and The San Francisco Standard has reported that more than half its cocktails can be made without alcohol.
Signature NA drinks- Kyoto (N/A martini: Amass N/A, Dhōs N/A vodka, Aplos Arise, narazuke brine, tsukemono)

Palm House is a tropical bar and restaurant at 2032 Union Street in Cow Hollow, set in a historic 1854 dairy farmhouse behind what the venue describes as San Francisco's second-oldest palm tree, and trading under the Palm House name since 2014. The Caribbean- and Hawaiian-leaning kitchen and tiki-influenced bar pair vacation-style food with a standing non-alcoholic list printed on the main menu rather than hidden behind a request. The "Free Spirited" section runs the Virgin Islands (passion fruit, prickly pear, pineapple gomme), the Piñita Colada (coconut water, coconut puree, pineapple gomme, lime), the Hibiscus Mate (hibiscus tea, yerba mate, lemon, simple syrup) and an N/A Michelada built on non-alcoholic lager, priced $8 to $10. Rationale Brewing non-alcoholic lager is poured, and drag brunch, trivia and DJ nights are regular fixtures.

Fiorella is a California-inflected Italian restaurant founded in 2015 by Boris Nemchenok and Brandon Gillis, who opened the original on Clement Street in the Richmond District before expanding to four San Francisco locations. The Inner Sunset branch at 1240 9th Ave serves wood-fired pizzas, house pastas, and seasonal Italian plates, plus a heated rooftop. Beyond the food, the Sunset location runs a genuine named non-alcoholic cocktail program: its official cocktail menu lists zero-proof drinks alongside the full bar, built on NA aperitivos and amari rather than simple sodas. Options include the Noperol Spritz (Giffard and Martini & Rossi NA aperitivos with Good Twin NA sparkling wine), the Like a Virgin (prickly pear essence, lime, mint, sparkling water), the Harvest Moon (Pathfinder NA amaro, lemon, honey, soda), an N/A Lucano Old Fashioned, and a Blackberry Cooler.

Delah Coffee's Financial District cafe sits at Sansome and Clay, on the edge of Chinatown, and pours the same alcohol-free Yemeni list that the group's original SoMa shop opened with in 2022. It runs 6am to 8pm on weekdays and 7am to 9pm at weekends, an earlier close than the SoMa flagship but still well past the point where most downtown coffee counters shut. The traditional preparations are the draw: Sana'ani, the house black coffee with cardamom; Jubani, a light roast cooked with cardamom, ginger and cinnamon; Arabian Qawah, light roast boiled with cardamom; and Adeni chai, Yemeni black tea simmered with cream and the house spice blend. Turkish delights, honeyed pastries and savoury turnovers are baked daily.

Third Rail is a cocktail bar on 20th Street in Dogpatch, known for craft drinks served alongside house-made jerky. Its approach to alcohol-free drinking is unusually practical: rather than confining zero-proof options to a short list, the bar marks individual cocktails on the main menu as available as non-alcoholic, so the same builds are offered either way. Four of the shaken drinks carry that note, including the Yuzu Cute with elderflower, yuzu, pineapple, lemon and mint, the grapefruit-and-elderflower Pawloma, the house Third Rail with lemon, honey and orange bitters, and the smoky Evil Twin. The menu also lists one purpose-built zero-proof cocktail, Dragonfly, made with Ritual Zero Proof tequila, butterfly pea flower, agave, lime and clove.

Anina is a tropical, plant-filled bar on Hayes Street in Hayes Valley, trading to 1am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and known for a rum-heavy, botanical cocktail list and shareable punchbowls. Its alcohol-free drinks sit under a menu heading simply marked zero proof, and they are priced from $7 to $13 against $15 to $17 for the full-proof cocktails. The section lists Six of Cups, built on Floreale L'Aperitivo with lemon, honey and cucumber tonic; a Pathfinder Spritz made with the fermented and distilled hemp spirit; St. Agrestis's Phony Negroni; and a Juice Shop pineapple mint tonic of sparkling spring water, cold-pressed pineapple and pear juice, mint, blue spirulina and eleuthero.

Absinthe Brasserie & Bar has been the pre-theatre anchor of Hayes Valley for decades, a French-Californian brasserie on the corner of Hayes and Gough with a long marble bar and a classics-heavy cocktail list.

Four are named: Coda Leger, built on pomegranate with lemon, lime, vanilla and seltzer; Mister Rogers, a lighter build of lime, mint and ginger beer; Absinthe Lemonade, made with lemon, cranberry and ginger; and Bright Red Shirts, which uses a house non-alcoholic Campari-style syrup with orange, lemon and seltzer to reproduce a bitter aperitivo.

Laszlo is the cocktail-bar sibling of Foreign Cinema, the Mission District restaurant chef-partners Gayle Pirie and John Clark have run since 1999. It sits next door at 2526 Mission Street and works as a multi-level DJ and vinyl lounge — mezzanine booths, a large record collection and live local musicians or vinyl DJs most nights — serving craft cocktails alongside oysters and bar bites from the Foreign Cinema kitchen, with never a cover charge. Its printed menu carries a dedicated zero-proof section that rotates. Current pours include the Aplos Mandora Negroni Spritz, a sparkling non-alcoholic negroni; the Manipuri Sumac Soda (heimang sumac concentrate, lemon, soda); Coco Libre!

Radhaus is an Alpine beer hall and restaurant in Building A at Fort Mason Center, with waterfront views across the bay and a menu of German and Austrian cooking — schnitzel, currywurst, pretzels — served alongside imported bier. Its current menu, updated in March 2026, carries a short N/A Cocktails section holding two built drinks at $13: Die Zitronenbeere, made with Abstinence Lemon, raspberry wine and soda, and Little Blossom, combining citrus, spice, ginger, bier nectar and apple cider vinegar. Alcohol-free beer is treated as a proper category rather than an afterthought, with Weihenstephaner's N/A Weissbier poured by the half litre and an N/A Radler by the third. The restaurant is dog-friendly and opens from noon most days.

Heyma Yemeni Coffee & Brunch is an alcohol-free Yemeni coffeehouse and all-day kitchen on Ninth Street in western SoMa, the San Francisco sibling of the Heyma cafe that opened on University Avenue in Berkeley in October 2023. It keeps the longest hours of any Yemeni room in the city, running 7am to 11:30pm most nights and to midnight on Friday and Saturday, and describes itself simply as open early and staying late. The drinks are traditional and spice-driven: the Heyma Latte built with cardamom and cinnamon, Aden tea cooked with cardamom, ginger and cream, and Mufawaar, the cream-topped spiced coffee that anchors most Yemeni menus. A full brunch kitchen runs alongside the coffee bar.

Pacific Cocktail Haven, known as PCH, is a cocktail bar at 550 Sutter Street in Union Square, opened in 2016 by bartender Kevin Diedrich and rebuilt at its current address in March 2022 after a fire destroyed the original room. The menu is broken out by base spirit and carries a standing non-alcoholic section, and bartenders will build a spirit-free version of nearly anything else on the list. Named zero-proof pours include Raisin da Roof (Lyre's non-alcoholic gin and dry aperitif, raisin, orange, apple cider vinegar), Karl the POG (Seedlip Spice, house passionfruit-orange-guava, orgeat, citrus, ginger beer) and Cactus Makes Perfect (nopales water, jicama, sakura).

The Interval is the cafe, bar and salon of The Long Now Foundation at Fort Mason Center, a space built around long-term thinking, with a floor-to-ceiling library, an eight-foot mechanical orrery and artwork by Brian Eno. Its bar program was created by Jennifer Colliau, founder of Small Hand Foods, and later shaped by Todd Myles Carnam; both have since moved on, and a "Time Capsule" section of the current menu preserves their signature drinks. The no- and low-ABV list is treated as core rather than supplementary, built on house-made seasonal shrubs, non-alcoholic bitters and dealcoholized aperitifs. Current spirit-free pours include Asimov's Crater, the Bitter Orange Old Fashioned and The Maiden, alongside non-alcoholic beer and sparkling cider.

Kiln is a two-Michelin-star tasting-menu restaurant in San Francisco's Hayes Valley, opened in May 2023 by chef John Wesley and general manager Julianna Yang, both alumni of the Michelin-starred Sons & Daughters. Set in a converted Fell Street garage with 30-foot ceilings and a Sonoma olive tree at its center, the roughly 20-course menu leans Nordic, built on curing, drying, and fermentation. For non-drinkers, beverage director Vincent Balao — formerly of three-Michelin-star Atelier Crenn — created a dedicated spirit-free pairing ($135), offered alongside the wine and reserve pairings rather than as a substitute. It draws on housemade kombucha, seasonal shrubs, and amazake, plus Seedlip, Lyre's, and Proxies non-alcoholic wine. Named pours include the Why Yuzu Sour (yuzu, genmaicha, Seedlip Garden 108, Oro Blanco, kombu syrup, amazake foam), Verde Side, and Smoke & Mirrors.

Copra is a coastal South Indian restaurant that opened in 2023 in San Francisco's Fillmore / Lower Pac Heights neighborhood, led by Michelin-starred chef Srijith "Sri" Gopinathan, drawing on the cuisines of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Alongside a full cocktail and wine program, Copra runs a serious zero-proof menu that mirrors its cocktail list, building drinks from the same Southeast Asian-leaning pantry — coconut yogurt, makrut lime, star anise, lemongrass, and orange blossom — rather than treating non-alcoholic options as an afterthought. Several of the zero-proof cocktails are built on non-alcoholic spirits including Wilderton Lustre and Vibrante NA vermouth. Named pours include the Orange Ruby (lemongrass, Wilderton Lustre, Vibrante, orange blossom, tonic, makrut lime), the Salty City (coconut yogurt, cucumber, salt, black garlic, lemon), and the Tiger's Eye (cinnamon, star anise, lemon, Wilderton Lustre, bittersweet aperitivo). The room is a tropical, design-forward space.

Rich Table is a Hayes Valley fine-dining mainstay opened in 2012 by married chefs Evan and Sarah Rich, both alumni of acclaimed kitchens, who built a name on market-driven California cooking. Now in its 13th year, it ranked #3 on the San Francisco Chronicle's 2025 Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants and anchors a growing family that includes RT Rotisserie and, as of January 2026, RT Bistro. Its drink program treats non-alcoholic guests as first-class: the current list carries dedicated "Non-Alcoholic Refreshers" and "Non-Alcoholic Milk Wash" sections of house cocktails built on NA spirits and house ingredients, alongside a non-alcoholic beer from nearby Best Day Brewing of Sausalito. Named zero-proof pours — like The Remedy (NA agave spirit, pineapple, carrot, ginger, lemon, bitters), the Strawberry Fauxgroni, and Pod Culture — rotate with the seasons, mirroring the same farm-driven philosophy as the food.

Fiorella's Noe Valley restaurant sits on 24th Street and serves the group's California-Italian menu of wood-fired pizza, house pasta and seasonal plates. Its cocktail card carries six drinks, two of which are marked N/A and priced level with the alcoholic ones at $14: the Noperol Spritz, built from Giffard and Mionetto non-alcoholic aperitivos with non-alcoholic sparkling wine and seltzer, and Like a Virgin, made with prickly pear, fresh lime juice, seltzer and mint. The beer list stocks Rationale's non-alcoholic West Coast IPA at $8 next to Ghost Town and Humble Sea. Having a third of the cocktail list built without alcohol, at the same price, makes this one of the stronger neighbourhood restaurant programmes on the south side of the city.
Signature NA drinks- Noperol Spritz (N/A) — Giffard and Mionetto NA aperitivos, NA sparkling wine, seltzer

Trick Dog is a cocktail bar at 3010 20th Street in the Mission, opened in 2013 by Josh Harris and known for elaborately designed, fully themed drink menus that the team reinvents roughly every six months. Harris is sober, and the bar deliberately integrates zero-proof drinks into the same menu sections, with the same creative names, as the full-proof list rather than isolating them as a separate category — so a non-drinker gets the identical ordering experience. Past alcohol-free builds include Puppy Pose, a creamy green milk punch with wheatgrass, yogurt and non-alcoholic spirits, and the Wydah, built on Ritual Tequila Alternative and Wilfred's aperitif. Trick Dog was named Best U.S. Cocktail Bar at the 2025 Spirited Awards and has twice won World's Best Cocktail Menu.

True Laurel is a cocktail bar and restaurant at 753 Alabama Street in the Mission, opened in 2017 by the team behind the Michelin-starred Lazy Bear — chef David Barzelay and bar director Nicolas Torres. Its drinks are built from house-made syrups, shrubs and ferments made with California produce, and the same pantry drives a rotating non-alcoholic list that always carries several zero-proof options, including the Bay Bay Bubbler (California bay laurel, dealcoholized tequila, quinine) and Spice & Everything Nice. The bar has a heated parklet on Alabama Street that stays usable in Mission fog. True Laurel ranked No. 17 on North America's 50 Best Bars in 2025, rising to No. 14 in 2026, and won the Ketel One Sustainable Bar Award in 2024.

Fort Point Valencia is the Mission District beer hall of Fort Point Beer Company, the San Francisco brewery founded in 2014 by cousins Tyler and Justin Catalana. The 22-tap flagship reopened at 742 Valencia St in February 2022 with color-saturated plaster walls, oak woodwork, neon art, and a casual SF-style seafood menu. What earns it a spot here: Fort Point is one of the few breweries pouring its own non-alcoholic line. In January 2025, after roughly three years of R&D, it launched NA versions of its two best-known beers — NA KSA, a light, crisp Kölsch-style ale, and NA Villager, a balanced San Francisco-style IPA — both under 0.5% ABV and brewed (not dealcoholized) with a Berkeley Yeast strain that minimizes alcohol conversion. The NA beers are sold at Fort Point's San Francisco locations, including this Valencia beer hall.

Fiorella's Clement Street restaurant is the original of the four-location San Francisco group founded in 2015 by Boris Nemchenok and Brandon Gillis, serving wood-fired pizza, house pasta and Italian antipasti in the Outer Richmond. Its non-alcoholic offering is modest but genuine and printed on the same card as the cocktails: Like a Virgin, a $14 zero-proof build of prickly pear essence, fresh lime juice, sparkling water and mint, sits directly beneath the house negroni and margarita at the same price. Best Day Brewing's non-alcoholic Hazy IPA is stocked at $6, the cheapest beer on a list that runs to $11, and the restaurant also pours Far West's dry cider. Dinner runs nightly with weekend lunch service.

Fiorella's Polk Street restaurant serves the group's California-Italian menu at the northern end of Polk Gulch, where the street runs up towards Russian Hill. Its beverage card lists Like a Virgin as an N/A cocktail at $14, built from prickly pear essence, fresh lime juice and sparkling water and served tall, at the same price as the house negroni, Passione Margarita and espresso martini printed above it. The same drink appears on the weekday happy hour at $8, alongside discounted wine by the glass. Rationale's non-alcoholic West Coast IPA is stocked at $6, the cheapest beer on the list. Dinner runs nightly, with lunch added on Saturday and Sunday.

Blackbird is a literary-themed neighbourhood cocktail bar on Market Street at the Castro end of Upper Market, open since 2009 and trading to 2am on Friday and Saturday. Its menu carries a section headed Low ABV & Zero Proof, and two of the five drinks in it contain no alcohol at all: Nearly February, at $10, built from fig-infused balsamic with orange, grapefruit and soda water, and Salty Puppy, at $12, made with Aplós Calm, grapefruit, lime, honey and orange blossom water over a salted rim. Aplós Calm is a hemp-derived non-alcoholic spirit and the bar also stocks Wyld CBD cans, which is worth knowing for anyone avoiding psychoactive ingredients as well as alcohol.

Anomaly SF is an intimate tasting-menu restaurant on a quiet block in Lower Pacific Heights, opened by chef-owner Mike Lanham in January 2023 after nearly five years as a word-of-mouth pop-up, with the buildout funded partly via Kickstarter. Lanham — a Culinary Institute of America (Greystone) graduate who cooked at Spruce, the Michelin-starred Commis, and Bird Dog — calls his Georgia-rooted cooking "Southern-Inspired Modernism," and the restaurant earned a Bib Gourmand in the 2024 California Michelin Guide. General manager and beverage director Francis Kulaga runs a full non-alcoholic pairing alongside the multi-course tasting menu, priced comparably to the wine pairing (roughly $99). Rather than a fixed zero-proof list, Kulaga builds the pairing to each guest's taste across the courses, leaning on dealcoholized and spirit-free products including Free AF, Proxies, and Leitz Sparkling, with an option for a few standalone spirit-free cocktails.
Signature NA drinks- 12-course non-alcoholic pairing
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 San Francisco
39 venues in San Francisco serve named non-alcoholic cocktails on their menu. Top picks include Ocean Beach Cafe, Haraz Coffee House (Franklin Street), Cavaña.
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.
San Francisco's non-alcoholic scene is one of the country's deepest, anchored by two dedicated alcohol-free spots: Ocean Beach Cafe (billed as the city's first AF bar and bottle shop) in the Outer Richmond, and The New Bar, a fully zero-proof bottle shop and tasting bar in Cow Hollow. The real strength, though, is how seriously SF's world-class bars and restaurants take spirit-free: Michelin tasting menus build dedicated non-alcoholic pairings (Kiln, Anomaly, Nari), craft cocktail bars print real zero-proof lists (Bar Iris, Last Rites, ABV, Pacific Cocktail Haven, Trick Dog, True Laurel), Fort Point's Valencia beer hall pours its own NA beer, and spots like Copra, Palm House, Wildseed, and Fiorella round out a city where not drinking never means settling for a soda.
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.
