Athletic Brewing in New York, NY

No More Cafe is a fully alcohol-free cocktail bar and all-day cafe in Manhattan's East Village, serving chef-crafted zero-proof cocktails, specialty coffee and tea, kava, and functional beverages — open daily noon to midnight.

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.

Clemente Bar opened in October 2024 on the second floor of chef Daniel Humm's three-Michelin-star Eleven Madison Park, in NoMad/Flatiron at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 24th Street. It is a collaboration with — and named for — Italian artist Francesco Clemente, whose original murals swirl through the room and around the back bar. The bar comprises a 38-seat Lounge serving à la carte food and drinks, plus a nine-seat Studio offering a five-course tasting with cocktail pairings. Like EMP, the food is fully plant-based. The beverage program, overseen by EMP's drinks team, includes a dedicated menu of "soft cocktails" and a fully non-alcoholic pairing option available with the Studio tasting menu. Named zero-proof drinks include the Proxy Fizz (Seedlip Garden, cucumber, green apple, amazake) and a non-alcoholic Kalimotxo. Clemente Bar entered North America's 50 Best Bars at No. 11 in 2025, winning the Best New Opening Award, and ranked No. 15 in 2026.

The Portrait Bar sits inside The Fifth Avenue Hotel in NoMad, a maximalist room hung with portraiture that reads as considered rather than merely lavish. It won its category at the inaugural NYC's Best Bars for NA Awards, where the judges singled out an intimate maximalist setting paired with a confident non-alcoholic list — confident being the operative word, since hotel bars are where zero-proof menus most often collapse into a token pair of juices. It serves alcohol too. Hours are unusually generous for a room of this quality: 5pm to 1am through the week and to 2am on Friday and Saturday, seven days.

Saint Eve's is a small, intimate cocktail bar on 12th Street in Park Slope, shortlisted at the inaugural NYC's Best Bars for NA Awards. It is deliberately tiny — the bar states it cannot take parties of six or more — which makes it the opposite of a destination and rather good as a place to sit and talk. It serves alcohol and does not publish a named non-alcoholic list, so the zero-proof drinking here rests on the bartender rather than on a printed menu; ask, and expect something built rather than poured. Open 5pm until close, seven nights. Mockingbird, South Brooklyn's dedicated alcohol-free bar, is a short walk away for anyone who wants a room with no alcohol in it.
