Athletic Brewing in Philadelphia, PA

Wallace Dry Goods is Ardmore's first fully non-alcoholic bottle shop, opened in early 2024 by owner Robin Cummiskey on the Main Line at 1 West Lancaster Avenue. Styled like a traditional bottle shop — shelves of "whiskey," wine, gin, and mixers — it stocks zero liquor; everything is alcohol-free. The shop sells NA spirits, beer, wine, cider, mixers, bitters, syrups, and ready-to-drink cans, plus barware, so non-drinkers have the same tools to build cocktails at home. Brands carried include Ghia, Ritual Zero Proof, Cut Above, Seedlip, Lyre's, Athletic Brewing, Abstinence, and Mingle Mocktails. A daily in-store tasting bar pours rotating samples and the occasional craft mocktail, and the shop hosts classes and events. Wallace Dry Goods was named Best Non-Alcoholic Bottle Shop in Philadelphia Magazine's 2024 Best of Philly awards.

R&D is a craft cocktail bar in Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood, opened in October 2018 in the former Root Restaurant & Wine Bar space at 1206 Frankford Avenue. It's run by Defined Hospitality, the group behind Suraya, Pizzeria Beddia, Condesa, and Kalaya; the cocktail program was built by Aaron Deary and is curated by bar manager Resa Mueller. R&D has won Best of Philly for Best Cocktail Bar. Beyond its acclaimed full bar, R&D maintains a permanent zero-proof presence on its menu, and bartenders also build custom non-alcoholic drinks on request. Mueller refreshes the zero-proof cocktails every few months, leaning on tiki-style builds with fresh juices, coconut, house-made syrups, small-batch sodas, and tannic teas. Named NA drinks have included the Virgin Piña Colada and a negroni-inspired build, plus NA beers from Athletic Brewing and Guinness 0.
