Athletic Brewing in Salt Lake City, UT

Salt Lake City's dedicated non-alcoholic speakeasy, opened in December 2024 inside a restored century-old Sugar House home known as The Eclipse House and run by sibling team Matthew and Kelly LaPlante. The entire menu is zero-proof — "0% Alcohol, 100% Heart" — built by co-owner and lead bartender Matthew, a former Salt Lake Tribune reporter who quit drinking but never left bar culture, with his sister Kelly, a designer, styling the room as a forest-green, 1920s-inspired lounge. The duo have developed 50-plus craft NA cocktails on premium spirits like Lyre's, Dhōs, Trejo's and Kentucky 74, finished with herbs from their own basement hydroponic garden. The name nods to 1833, the year of the Latter-day Saint "Word of Wisdom," and because nothing on the menu contains alcohol, no ID is required — a genuine cocktail experience for people in recovery, designated drivers, never-drinkers, and the sober-curious.

Salt Lake City's first all-non-alcoholic bottle shop and gourmet grocer, a woman-owned spot founded by Kate Riser that opened in May 2025 in the historic Artspace Rubber Company building on 200 South. Riser, who spent years in food and beverage across San Francisco, New York and nearly a decade in Europe, built it out with concrete floors, white walls and custom display cases. The shelves run deep on zero-proof spirits, wine, aperitifs, mixers and canned cocktails — roughly 300 products from about 50 mostly small, independent and minority-owned makers, including brands like The Pathfinder Hemp & Root and Aplós — alongside gourmet pantry goods. A small lounge lets visitors open an alcohol-free wine, sip a canned botanical cocktail and linger, making it a sober "third place" for the sober and sober-curious.

A women-owned, queer-owned kombucha brewery and taproom in the Ballpark/Granary district that doubles as one of the metro's strongest zero-proof cocktail programs — winner of City Weekly's "Best Zero-Proof Cocktails" in 2024 and 2025. The taproom opened in spring 2023 inside a converted former auto-repair shop, the project of founder Hannah Hendrickson, who began brewing Han's Kombucha while at the University of Utah, and co-owner Kate Lubing. Non-alcoholic Han's Kombucha is fermented on-site, poured in a build-your-own flight, and forms the base of many crafted zero-proof cocktails on the taproom's "Free Your Spirits" list, such as the Persephone and the HK Spritz. As Lubing puts it, whether a guest is sober-curious, fully sober, a cocktail lover or a beer drinker, the space is built so everyone feels equally considered.

Opened in June 2018 by Takashi and Tamara Gibo — the team behind the acclaimed Takashi sushi next door — Post Office Place is an intimate craft cocktail bar that shares an entrance with the restaurant on Market Street. Known for a deep Japanese whisky list and a James Beard Foundation Outstanding Bar Program semifinalist nod in 2023, it also keeps one of the most thorough printed non-alcoholic menus in Salt Lake City. The dedicated NA menu itemizes a bottled St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, Athletic NA beers, Gruvi Sparkling Rosé, and build-your-own zero-proof cocktails on Spiritless (Kentucky 74, Jalisco 55), Dhōs Gin, and Monday Zero whisky — plus a bespoke "Bartender Roulette" the team crafts to order. In 2026 the bar was named Salt Lake magazine's Best Restaurant alongside its Takashi omakase collaboration.

A downtown Salt Lake City craft cocktail bar, Latin-inspired kitchen, and live-music venue that opened in 2017 inside a historic 1910 building. Spread across three spaces — the main floor, the Rabbit Hole jazz speakeasy downstairs, and the Church bar and club upstairs — it pairs an extensive cocktail program with a dedicated Non-Alcoholic Beverages menu that gets the same craft treatment as the full bar. The zero-proof list leans on premium NA spirits, with Seedlip-based mocktails like Like A Virgin and Mountain Flower, Monday Zero whiskey builds such as the New Fashioned and an NY Whiskey Sour, and Dhōs-based highballs. Axios Salt Lake City has highlighted Lake Effect's list of non-alcoholic libations as a reliable stop for a Dry January or sober night out.

One of Salt Lake City's oldest brewpubs — opened in Trolley Square in 1972 (originally "The Pub") and brewing its own beer on-site since 1995. For non-drinkers, the menu carries a documented NA lineup: the house Pub's Hop Water Seltzer NA, Heineken 0.0, and Athletic Brewing's Run Wild non-alcoholic IPA. A full espresso bar — lattes, mochas, americanos and steamers — makes it an easy daytime or alcohol-free evening stop, alongside a from-scratch New American kitchen and award-winning beers.
