Athletic Brewing in New Orleans, LA

Compère Lapin is the New Orleans flagship of James Beard Award-winning chef Nina Compton, opened in 2015 inside The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery in the Warehouse District. Born and raised in St. Lucia and a Top Chef runner-up, Compton melds Caribbean and Creole cooking with French and Italian technique. The bar keeps a standing, named non-alcoholic section on both its dinner and brunch menus: the Sorrel Tea (house-made spiced hibiscus, ginger, lavender, lime), the Tell Tale Heart (strawberry balsamic shrub, tonic), and a brunch Garden Party built on Seedlip Garden, with canned Athletic Brewing NA IPA and a kombucha-style tea rounding it out. Compton won the 2018 James Beard Best Chef: South; the restaurant is Michelin-recommended.

Saba is chef Alon Shaya's modern Israeli restaurant on Magazine Street in Uptown New Orleans, the flagship of his Pomegranate Hospitality group (the name means "grandfather" in Hebrew). Known for blistered wood-fired pita and James Beard Award-winning Mediterranean cooking, it opened in 2018 and earned a 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand. Its beverage program includes a deliberate non-alcoholic offering built around gazoz — a sparkling Turkish-style soda made in house with fresh fruit, house syrups, and seltzer, with flavors that rotate seasonally (recent examples include watermelon basil, cucumber agave, and pineapple shrub). The menu also stocks Athletic Brewing's Upside Dawn non-alcoholic beer, and the zero-proof drinks feature during the Wednesday–Friday happy hour.
