Lyre's in New York, NY

An all-day, fully alcohol-free cafe and cocktail bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, from "Summer House" star Carl Radke. Premium coffee and espresso by day; a full menu of zero-proof "soft cocktails" built on non-alcoholic spirits and functional ingredients by night.

Caffe Dante is the Greenwich Village original at 79–81 MacDougal Street, named the World's Best Bar in 2019 and famous for its Negroni and Garibaldi programmes. Note that three separate Dante rooms share one website — this is the MacDougal Street original, not Dante West Village on Hudson Street or Dante Aperitivo on Bank Street. CORRECTION TO OUR EARLIER LISTING: we previously described a zero-proof menu called "Temperance" led by a signature "NOgroni". Neither appears anywhere on Dante's site or current menus, and we could not source either name; they have been removed. The real section is headed simply NON-ALCOHOLIC and runs five drinks: an Espresso Shakerato with orange juice and vanilla ($16), an NA Cosmojito with Dante cranberry, mint, lime and orange bitters ($14), a Dante Italian Spritz on Lyre's ($16), an NA Blood Orange Spritz with Seedlip Grove, raspberry and balsamic ($17), and a Forest Highball on Everleaf Forest with clementine and saffron ($15). It was shortlisted, not a winner, at NYC's Best Bars for NA 2025.

The Penrose calls itself the Upper East Local, and it backs that up with something almost no neighbourhood gastropub bothers with: a properly built list of eleven named non-alcoholic cocktails, published alongside the alcoholic ones rather than buried. Express Yourself is its espresso martini, Garden Tonic its zero-proof G&T, Peach Fuzz a boozeless bellini, Good Vibrations a no-alcohol negroni sbagliato, and Sunday Kinda Love a virgin bloody mary; there is also Lyre's non-alcoholic prosecco by the glass, plus NA beer. It serves alcohol too — this is a full bar, not an alcohol-free room — but it opens at 11:30am and runs to 4am daily, which makes it the most usefully late NA list in upper Manhattan.

Bar Moga is a 1920s-era Japanese cocktail bar on West Houston Street, built around the Taisho-period idea of yōshoku — Western dishes absorbed into Japanese cooking — with jazz, shochu and Japanese whisky at its centre. It won its category at the inaugural NYC's Best Bars for NA Awards for what the judges described as a narrative-driven, Japanese cocktail-inspired non-alcoholic menu: drinks built to tell the same story as the alcoholic list rather than to sit apart from it. It serves alcohol as well as the zero-proof list. Hours run 5pm to midnight, to 12:30am on Friday and Saturday, with a weekend lunch service from noon.
