Grüvi in St. Louis, MO

The Vandy, the Grove cocktail bar from the STL Barkeep team, opened in early 2023 and treats zero-proof drinking as a first-class program. Co-owner and beverage director Patrick Gioia maintains a dedicated Zero Proof Beverages menu: four $10 NA cocktails — Crimson Gimlet, Pack Mule In Recovery, Nojito and Alternative Expression — built on BARE Zero Proof, Lyre's and Ritual alternatives, plus Leitz dealcoholized Pinot Noir and Blanc de Blanc and Gruvi NA beers. Feast Magazine observed the menu 'has just as many NA drinks as it does tequila-based cocktails,' and Gioia's staff even teaches classes on making NA and low-proof cocktails.

A Central West End fixture since 2015, Retreat Gastropub pairs elevated pub fare with one of St. Louis's most respected cocktail programs — and the current menu gives the zero-proof side its own dedicated Non-Alcoholic section. Alongside Giffard-based builds like the Nah-Perol Spritz and the tiki-leaning Jungle Birdie, you'll find a coffee-forward Cold Fashioned, the savory pineapple-and-bell-pepper Hush Pupper, a house shrub and soda, Athletic Brewing and Best Day NA beers, Gruvi's alcohol-free Dry Secco, and a Mighty Kind CBD seltzer. Now owned by longtime staffers Jennifer Anderson and Sydney Caldwell, Retreat serves dinner six nights a week plus a popular Sunday brunch.

Webster Groves finally has a destination cocktail bar, and it takes zero-proof drinkers seriously. Opened in November 2024 by Matt and Jess Longueville — the couple behind cocktail-catering company STL Barkeep and The Vandy — Off Elm is a walk-in-only, mid-century-modern room on Big Bend Boulevard. The printed menu carries a dedicated Non Alcoholic section: Blood For The Blood God layers zero-proof rum with blood orange, lime, orgeat, and bitters, while the Crimson Gimlet pairs zero-proof gin with red wine syrup and lime. Gruvi NA lager and Best Day NA kölsch anchor the beer list, and the menu promises most classic cocktails can be made non-alcoholic.
