Lyre's in Dallas, TX

Monarch is a wood-fired modern Italian restaurant on the 49th floor of The National building in downtown Dallas, created by two-Michelin-star chef Danny Grant, with a rotating seasonal zero-proof cocktail menu alongside its full bar.

Beyond the Bar is DFW's first alcohol-free bottle shop and dry bar, and by its own account the only one in Texas — a zero-proof shop and tasting room in a 1958 mid-century building in Richardson's Core District. The range runs past 280 products, from Athletic, Seedlip, Lyre's and Ritual to Almave, Ghia, Pathfinder and De Soi, alongside dealcoholised wines and functional drinks. The bar pours its own builds, including the Italian Spritz that won the Dallas Observer's Best Mocktail award, and the room hosts tastings and zero-proof cocktail classes.

True Food Kitchen in Preston Center runs a printed Zero-Proof Cocktails section alongside its seasonally driven food programme, built with recognised non-alcoholic spirits rather than juice-and-soda standbys. The Spicy Clean Margarita leans on Clean & Co. zero-proof tequila with pineapple, lime, jalapeño and mint — a credible riff on the bar's signature cocktail. The Sparkling Sangria uses Lyre's Sparkling as its base, and the Hangover Rx, off the cold beverages list, combines pineapple, orange, honey and coconut water. The kitchen serves weekend brunch from 10am, takes reservations through OpenTable, and skews family-friendly, which makes it a straightforward choice for a table with mixed drinking preferences.

Anise is a pan-Mediterranean food and wine bar that opened in September 2021 inside the boutique Drey Hotel at The Village, a redeveloped community in central/NE Dallas. The kitchen draws from across the Mediterranean coast with mezze and shareable plates, and the wine program is the centerpiece — roughly 30 wines by the glass, 10 on tap, and about 135 total. Its published Zero Proof section is short rather than deep: the Underserved ($8), built on sweet plum, ginger and lemon with Fever-Tree Mediterranean tonic, alongside a fresh ginger ale ($4) and Heineken 0.0 ($6). Seating runs to an umbrella-shaded front patio for 42 and a quieter back terrace for 26.

Muchacho keeps a printed zero-proof cocktail section on its bar menu built with real non-alcoholic spirits, not a token juice pour. The Mock-a-Rita swaps hibiscus-infused Lyre's Agave into the house margarita, and the No-Fashioned is built on Lyre's American Malt with chicha morada and orange. Rounding out the list are the No-Groni Sbagliato (non-alcoholic gin, Italian rosso, rose water, non-alcoholic prosecco) and the herbal Serene-Tea (pear, green tea, grenadine, lemon). Dallas's DiningOut named the lineup among the city's best zero-proof cocktails for Dry January.

Coupes is a champagne bar at The Shops of Highland Park (on Oak Lawn Ave) that builds its craft mocktails on real zero-proof spirits rather than sugary stand-ins. Its named non-alcoholic cocktails include The Resolution, made with Martini & Rossi Floreal, cranberry, lime, ginger beer, and orgeat, and the Sparkling Conviction, made with blood orange, lemon, Lyre's Classico, and All the Bitter zero-proof aromatic bitters, alongside a spirit-free Aperol-style spritz. Because the whole room is built around bubbles, ordering a booze-free toast reads as native here rather than an afterthought. The zero-proof list was spotlighted by CultureMap and PaperCity for Dry January.

Partenope is a downtown Dallas Neapolitan restaurant and pizzeria whose bar builds genuine spirit-free versions of the Italian classics rather than defaulting to sodas. Its zero-proof set runs $9 and leans on house-made components — a house-made bitter non-alcoholic liquor and a house-made non-alcoholic sweet vermouth — alongside named brands like Ritual Zero Proof gin and Lyre's. The NA Negroni in particular is built almost entirely from those house-made NA aperitivo elements, which is what pushes these past off-the-shelf mocktails.

Catch Dallas keeps a dedicated "Zero Proof" section on its cocktail list with four crafted spirit-free builds rather than a token Shirley Temple. The non-alcoholic espresso martini is built on Lyre's Coffee Originale with salted vanilla and coconut water, while the Watermelon Mojito uses Seedlip Grove 42 with fresh watermelon, mint and lime. Athletic Brewing's Upside Dawn non-alcoholic beer is also poured. The zero-proof list runs alongside the same premium seafood, sushi and steak dining room the national Catch brand is known for.

Quarter Acre is chef-owner Toby Archibald's New Zealand-influenced bistro on Lowest Greenville, and it keeps a genuine spirit-free section on its drinks list rather than a token soda. The zero-proof cocktails are built with real intent: the Basil Daiquiri uses Lyre's Blanco with basil and Nelson hops, and the Mirinda Spritz layers passion fruit, rosemary, and tonic. The list is rounded out with Texas-made Lady Bird craft sodas and Lagunitas IPNA non-alcoholic IPA, so a non-drinker gets a full range across cocktails, beer, and soda.

The Usual is Fort Worth's benchmark craft cocktail bar on Magnolia Avenue, and its menu carries a printed section headed "Practical Choices (NA)" — four zero-proof drinks built with the same technique as the spirituous list rather than tacked on as an afterthought. The lineup leans on Lyre's non-alcoholic spirits: the namesake Practical Choices pairs Lyre's London Spirit with lemon, molasses and sage, while Great Obsession stacks Lyre's NA gin with an NA verbena aperitif, Earl Grey and non-alcoholic IPA. It is a full bar, not an alcohol-free room, but the NA builds are priced and made like the rest of the menu.

Uchibā is the second-floor cocktail bar above Uchi in Uptown, and it runs the deepest zero-proof programme found in Dallas: four separate non-alcoholic sections covering cocktails, beer, wine and other drinks. The n/a cocktails include the Mitsu Mitsu with Ritual Zero Proof gin, yuzu, honey and rosemary, a Nattsu Sour built on Lyre's Amaretti with lemon and cherry, a hibiscus margarita on Ritual's tequila alternative, and Little Bird on sanbitter with pineapple and lime. The n/a beer list carries Athletic Brewing Run Wild and Best Day Kölsch, with dealcoholised Oddbird wines available by the glass or bottle. Open 5pm to 11pm daily.

CBD Provisions is the Texas brasserie on the Main Street frontage of The Joule hotel downtown, and its drink menu carries a printed Mocktails section built on serious non-alcoholic spirits rather than juice and soda. The Agave Maria and Green Jardin both use Almave, the non-alcoholic blue agave distillate, the first with lime and passion fruit and the second with cucumber, jalapeño and agave. The Café de Olla Frío works Lyre's non-alcoholic espresso-malt spirit against espresso, charred orange and piloncillo — a genuine after-dinner drink rather than a soft option. Because the room serves breakfast through dinner seven days a week, the list works at a business breakfast, a weekend brunch and a late dinner alike.

Catbird is the rooftop bar at the Thompson Dallas, occupying the upper floors of the old National tower on Elm Street, and its current menu carries a printed Non-Alcoholic Cocktails section. Barbie Girl builds Lyre's London Dry against rhubarb syrup under a matcha concentrate float; Canned Responses runs lychee, coconut and almond into something closer to a tiki drink; and Shoots & Ladders is made with a house-fermented pineapple bamboo tepache. Heineken 0.0 is on the beer list. The section is offered the other way round too — any of the three can be made spirited for a small supplement, which is a rare and genuinely useful courtesy for a mixed table where one person is drinking and another is not.

Stillwell's is the steakhouse inside Hôtel Swexan in the Harwood District, and its drink list carries a printed Non-Alcoholic section — the kind of room where not drinking has historically meant sparkling water for three hours. The Golden Pear is built on Lyre's Classico non-alcoholic sparkling wine with pear and lemon; the Ginger Snap uses Seedlip Garden 108 infused with rooibos, then cinnamon, lime and ginger beer. Heineken 0.0 rounds out the beer list. Both builds are priced alongside the bar's cocktails rather than beneath them. Two drinks is a short list and we would rather say so, but both are made with real non-alcoholic spirits and printed under their own heading.

Lions Den is the bar at Le Méridien Dallas in the historic Stoneleigh, opened in 2026 under chef Michael White, and its menu carries a printed Zero Proof section that treats non-alcoholic drinking as an aperitivo tradition rather than a lemonade problem. Giusto E Sbagliato is the ambitious one — Lyre's American Malt with Roots Rosso, a cocoa-infused Giffard aperitif syrup and Crodino, the Italian bitter aperitivo. The Prickly Hibiscus Spritz is built on Ghia with hibiscus, prickly pear, lemon and club soda, alongside a third build called La Bombola. The bar runs breakfast, lunch and dinner services daily, so the list is available from 6:30am.

Chelsea Corner is a long-running Knox-Henderson neighbourhood bar with a big patio, and it keeps a printed Zero Proof / Mocktail Menu that is deeper than most dedicated cocktail bars manage. Ritual Zero Proof does the heavy lifting: a zero-proof espresso martini, a Tommy's margarita and a cucumber mint spritz that adds Lyre's Classico. Beyond the cocktails there is Lyre's sparkling by the glass or as mimosas and bellinis, a michelada built on Heineken 0.0, and several Athletic Brewing varieties. It opens at ten on weekend mornings and runs to two on Friday and Saturday nights, so it works as an actual night out rather than a dinner reservation.

Miss Angeline's on Denton's downtown square runs the deepest non-alcoholic cocktail list in the metroplex: a printed Non-Alcoholic Drinks section with eight named mocktails, nearly all built on Lyre's non-alcoholic spirits. The range covers a MockaRita, a French 86, a PiNO Colada, an EspressotiNO and a NOgroni — meaning a non-drinker can order across the whole cocktail canon rather than picking from two. Six taps and cans back it up, including Guinness Zero and four Athletic Brewing beers. Open daily until 2am.
