Best Day Brewing in Cincinnati, OH

Mita's is James Beard-nominated chef Jose Salazar's Spanish and Latin American tapas restaurant in downtown Cincinnati's 84.51° building at Fifth and Race. Its drinks list carries a dedicated "No Alcoholicas" section built on Ritual's zero-proof tequila alternative: the Sacrificio pairs it with guava, hibiscus, and lime, while the Paloma Picante adds grapefruit, jalapeño, ginger, agave, lime, and soda for a spicy, citrus-forward pour (both $12.50). Beyond the house mocktails, the kitchen stocks Best Day Brewing non-alcoholic beer in lime cerveza or West Coast IPA, plus Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero non-alcoholic sparkling wine, alongside Jarritos and Mexican fountain sodas. It's a genuine sit-down alcohol-free option inside one of the city's most ambitious tapas rooms, named for Salazar's Colombian grandmother.

Nolia Kitchen is chef-owner Jeffery Harris's Black-owned Over-the-Rhine restaurant, a refined-casual homage to his New Orleans upbringing and the food of the Ninth Ward, Texas and the Carolinas. Harris, who holds multiple James Beard nominations, earned Nolia the No. 4 slot on Cincinnati Magazine's 2026 Best Restaurants list. The bar backs its cocktails with a genuine zero-proof lineup: two $12 mocktails (the N/ATINI, built on Feragaia non-alcoholic spirit and green-tomato brine, and the N/AGRIA of dealcoholized rosé, strawberry and yuzu), a pair of Plus & Minus non-alcoholic wines from Australia by the glass or bottle, and Best Day Brewing's Electro-Lime and Hazy IPA NA beers. The kitchen overhauls its menu each season, so the exact pours rotate over the year.
