Athletic Brewing in New York, NY

Hekate is a fully alcohol-free cafe, sober bar, and bottle shop in Manhattan's East Village on Avenue B, serving zero-proof cocktails, 0% ABV beers and wines, herbal elixirs, kava drinks, and coffee. Note: in May 2026 owner Abby Ehmann announced Hekate is winding down amid financial pressure — the lease runs through September 2026 with a final date still to be set, and its sober events are moving to a new East Village venue, B Scene at 50 Avenue B — so call ahead before visiting.

Kosmic Community Anti Bar & Coffee Shop is a fully alcohol-free "anti bar" and cafe that opened in May 2024 in the former Mug & Cup space at 115 Avenue C in the East Village. It was founded by owner and East Village resident James Lockwood along with partners Tyler Garrett and Apostolos Filippas, who built it as a judgment-free social space for people with any relationship to sobriety. The owners are, in their words, "not big on mocktails," instead pouring a full coffee bar plus house-made sodas, herbal teas, fruit presses, and kava. The drink list also carries craft NA beer from Mash Gang, Athletic Brewing, and Go Brewing. The space keeps late hours — open until 2am Fridays and Saturdays — and features a retro lounge with a vintage phone booth and a back garden, hosting community events and live programming.
