Lyre's in Los Angeles, CA

Lemon Grove is a rooftop restaurant, bar, lounge and garden at the top of The Aster at Hollywood and Vine, with unobstructed views of the Hollywood Sign, the Capitol Records building and the hills. IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: The Aster below it is a private membership club, but Lemon Grove itself is open to locals, hotel guests and members alike — only the weekday members-and-guests lunch is restricted, so brunch, dinner, the bar and the lounge are all public. It opened in October 2022; Daniel Pfeifer-Kotz is now executive chef, and cocktails are credited to Ash Ramos. Its drinks list carries a printed "Zero Proof" section holding three named mocktails — The Afters (espresso, cherry syrup, cola, cocoa), Meet Me In Venice (grapefruit, ginger beer, lime, mint, smoked salt) and Leading Lady (seasonal berries, lemon, cranberry, sparkling brut) — alongside genuine non-alcoholic wine, with Lyre's Classico Grande sparkling brut and Giesen's dealcoholised Sauvignon Blanc and rosé from Marlborough, plus Athletic Brewing's non-alcoholic golden ale. The section appears to be priced at a flat $16, though we could not confirm that beyond doubt. Closed Mondays.

COMPLETE MENU CHANGE — WE HAVE REPLACED THIS LISTING'S DRINKS. Big Bar is the cocktail bar attached to Alcove Cafe at 1929 Hillhurst Avenue in Los Feliz, housed with the cafe in two historic bungalows with one of the larger patios on the east side. It opened on 8 October 2010 from Tom Trellis, who had opened Alcove itself in 2004. The cocktail programme has since been rebuilt entirely around a board-game theme, and none of the drinks we previously listed — Supernova, Tropic Thunder, The Apothecary, Pocket Full of Horses — remain. The current non-alcoholic section is headed "fun & games non-alcoholic cocktails", four drinks at $14, each named for a game: Can Chevy Come Over? (Red Rover) with Plaid Circus kimono dragon, dandelion, lime and corn silk kefir; Sister Sister (Twister) with Plaid Circus vespa rossa, Optimist Cali amaro, dogwood lemon oleo, celery and blueberry; Billie's Holiday (Cat's Cradle) with Seedlip Garden, catnip cream and vanilla bean; and Something Wicked (Ouija) with Pathfinder, sour Fuji apple, green almond orgeat and lemon. Non-alcoholic Best Day IPA and Fremont Dark are $8 each. Open from 8 or 9am daily.

Death & Co Los Angeles is the first West Coast location of the cocktail brand founded in New York's East Village on New Year's Eve 2006, and it opened in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles at the end of 2019 from the Death & Co team of David Kaplan, Alex Day and Devon Tarby with Ravi DeRossi — the same group behind the Normandie Club, Bibo Ergo Sum and the Walker Inn. The main room runs a seasonal menu organised into six sections, from the lightest and most refreshing through the most spirituous, with zero-proof drinks treated as one of those sections rather than an appendix; a separate walk-up Standing Room bar operates Thursday to Saturday. The zero-proof list currently holds three built cocktails at $16–$18 on genuine non-alcoholic spirits including Seedlip, Ritual, Giffard and Wilderton, backed by non-alcoholic wine and beer from NON, Lyre's, Athletic and Suntory.

Bar Franca is a Euro-style cocktail and sound bar on South Main Street in the Historic Core of Downtown Los Angeles, open only Thursday to Saturday from 9pm to 2am. It is licensed, and its drink menu carries a titled Zero Proof and Low ABV section: Bonfire Water, made with fresh-pressed watermelon, hibiscus and Lyre's Italian Spritz; Espresso Esplatore, built on Pathfinder Hemp and Root with espresso, tonic and citrus; and Palomanada, with grapefruit, citrus, agave, soda and salt. Estrella Galicia Zero Proof is stocked in cans alongside two low-alcohol Stiegl radlers. The room has tall ceilings, floral wallpaper, a long bar and semi-separate lounge seating, and the music programming is the point as much as the drinks.
