Lyre's in Atlanta, GA

The Zero Co. is Atlanta's first dedicated non-alcoholic bottle shop, opened in December 2022 in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood by Cory and Malory Atkinson, the husband-and-wife team behind nearby Elemental Spirits Co. The shop grew out of the rapidly growing zero-proof section at Elemental and stocks more than 500 non-alcoholic products — spirit alternatives, de-alcoholized wines, NA beers, and ready-to-drink cans — alongside locally made shrubs, vinegars, bitters, and elixirs. A bar-cart sample station lets customers taste before buying, and the space hosts tastings and events. Carried brands include Ghia, Seedlip, Lyre's, Wilderton, Ritual Zero Proof, De Soi, Three Spirit, Free Spirits, Athletic Brewing, and more. As co-owner Malory Atkinson put it, the goal was a "warm and welcoming" space for all kinds of drinkers and non-drinkers.

Soberish is an alcohol-free bottle shop and wellness boutique in Atlanta's Kirkwood neighborhood, founded in August 2023 by real estate attorney and entrepreneur Mehrnush Saadat. Built around the idea that "sober" means something different to everyone, the shop curates a predominantly women-owned selection of non-alcoholic spirits, de-alcoholized wines, aperitifs, and zero-proof beer alongside cannabis and CBD wellness products, barware, and gifts. Saadat personally vets ingredients for natural, low-sugar quality, and the store leans heavily on education, hosting weekly Saturday tastings so guests can sample before buying. Confirmed brands on the shelves include St. Agrestis (Phony Negroni), Lyre's, De Soi, Figlia, and Best Day Brewing. After celebrating its first anniversary in 2024, Soberish expanded with a second location at Serenbe in Chattahoochee Hills.

Vesper is a James Bond-themed cocktail and tapas bar that opened in September 2020 in Atlanta's Glenwood Park, just off the BeltLine, from owners Damien McGee and Jon Tilley. The dimly lit, mid-century-inspired lounge — hunter-green walls, jewel-toned velvet seating — leans into Ian Fleming lore, from the namesake Vesper martini to a full "00 Proof" zero-proof cocktail section that the bar builds with the same care as its spirited list. Nearly every mocktail is anchored by Ritual Zero Proof non-alcoholic spirits, with a few using Lyre's. Named alcohol-free options include the Not So Stormy, Bonito, a zero-proof Old Fashioned, Slo Gin Fizz, Paloma and a "Nigroni." The kitchen serves American and Spanish-leaning tapas meant for sharing, indoors or al fresco. Open daily from 5pm.

Anansi Cocktail Lounge is a Black-owned cocktail bar on East College Avenue in Avondale Estates, on the eastern edge of Decatur. It is a dark, deliberately intimate room — 21 and over, no outside drinks, no flash photography — that trades from six in the evening to as late as 2am at the weekend. Its non-alcoholic menu is not a handful of substitutions but a named list, the Ikenice Choice, built entirely on Lyre's non-alcoholic spirits. The standout is the alcohol-free espresso martini, frothy and bitter without the syrupy finish most versions carry, and there is an amaretto sour given texture with aquafaba. The bar's own site puts it simply: it has cocktails for those who do not consume alcohol.
