Athletic Brewing in Atlanta, GA

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.

Lazy Betty is a one-Michelin-star tasting-menu restaurant from chef-partners Ron Hsu and Aaron Phillips, originally opened in 2019 in Candler Park and relocated in March 2024 to a larger Midtown space at 999 Peachtree Street. The kitchen serves a multi-course modern tasting menu, and the beverage program runs a full zero-proof track alongside its wine and spirits list. The menu carries a dedicated "Zero Proof" section with named N/A cocktails, non-alcoholic wines (Oddbird, Loosen Bros. "Dr. Lo"), and non-alcoholic beer from Athletic Brewing. Guests can have zero-proof cocktails coursed out and paired with each dish, the same way the wine pairing works. Named alcohol-free cocktails include the Celery Gimlet, Blueberry Mule, Strawberry Spritz, and "Spring Dreams Are Made Of These." Forbes called it one of Atlanta's best zero-proof cocktail menus.

Hop City Craft Beer & Wine is the Krog District (formerly Krog Street Market) outpost of the Atlanta beer-and-wine retailer founded by Kraig Torres in 2009. The location pairs a curated bottle shop with an adjacent full-service bar pouring dozens of rotating draft selections. For non-drinkers, the appeal is two-fold: the shop keeps a deep, dedicated non-alcoholic section, and the bar runs a dedicated N/A draft line that rotates between Untitled Art and Athletic Brewing. The retail NA shelf is one of the broadest in the city, spanning Athletic Brewing (Free Wave, Run Wild, Upside Dawn), Untitled Art, Guinness 0.0, Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher, Brooklyn Special Effects, Best Day, Ghia, and St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, with Sober Carpenter sold by the single. Sitting directly on the Eastside BeltLine trail, it's a practical NA stop whether you want a pour or a six-pack to go.

Southern National is a chef-driven Southern restaurant in Atlanta's Summerhill neighborhood, opened July 7, 2023 by chef Duane Nutter and restaurateur Reggie Washington, the James Beard-nominated duo behind the airport restaurant One Flew South; it followed an earlier Southern National in Birmingham, Alabama. The kitchen serves globally inspired Southern cuisine, and the bar program — shaped in part by veteran Atlanta bartenders Greg Best and Paul Calvert — carries a genuine zero-proof section alongside its cocktails and wine. The non-alcoholic list is built around named house mocktails such as the Young Mr. Collins (ISH London Botanical, lemon, cane sugar, soda), the Bluegrass Fizz (blueberry-lemongrass-thyme shrub, lime, sparkling water), and the Bella Sparkler (lemon, OJ, pineapple syrup, tonic), plus a bottled St. Agrestis "Phoney Negroni" and Athletic Brewing's Run Wild N/A IPA.
