Lyre's in Philadelphia, PA

Bar Palmina is Philadelphia's first fully zero-proof cocktail bar, where everything served — down to the bitters — is alcohol-free. It opened in Fishtown in 2024, founded by Nikki Graziano, who built the bar after a 2022 liver transplant prompted by alcohol-related liver failure and her subsequent path to sobriety. The bar is named for her Italian-American grandmother, Palmina. The menu runs about 22 signature and classic non-alcoholic cocktails alongside 11 NA wines and proxies and 7 NA beers, with house-made and from-scratch infusions throughout. Named drinks include the Yuzu Negroni, D'Argento (rice-washed white tea, cucumber, juniper, yuzu), The Lifesaver (lemongrass, ginger, coconut), and the Limonhattan. The living-room-style lounge also screens soccer matches. It was named Philadelphia Magazine's Best Non-Alcoholic Bar in 2025.

Wallace Dry Goods is Ardmore's first fully non-alcoholic bottle shop, opened in early 2024 by owner Robin Cummiskey on the Main Line at 1 West Lancaster Avenue. Styled like a traditional bottle shop — shelves of "whiskey," wine, gin, and mixers — it stocks zero liquor; everything is alcohol-free. The shop sells NA spirits, beer, wine, cider, mixers, bitters, syrups, and ready-to-drink cans, plus barware, so non-drinkers have the same tools to build cocktails at home. Brands carried include Ghia, Ritual Zero Proof, Cut Above, Seedlip, Lyre's, Athletic Brewing, Abstinence, and Mingle Mocktails. A daily in-store tasting bar pours rotating samples and the occasional craft mocktail, and the shop hosts classes and events. Wallace Dry Goods was named Best Non-Alcoholic Bottle Shop in Philadelphia Magazine's 2024 Best of Philly awards.

Bolo is chef Yun Fuentes's Latin American dining room and rum bar in Rittenhouse Square, open since 2023 at 2025 Sansom Street. The bi-level, vividly colorful space draws on Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican cuisine and is named for Fuentes's grandfather, Juan "Bolo" Fuentes; the chef was a 2024 James Beard Awards semifinalist for Best Emerging Chef. While the bar centers on a deep rum roster, beverage director Tony Jimenez — a PUNCH "Best New Bartenders 2024" finalist — builds a genuine spirit-free cocktail menu alongside it. Zero-proof options include the No Jito (Lyre's White Cane, lime, mint, soda), Punch It (Lyre's Dark Cane, mango, coconut, ginger beer), Hibiscus Lemonade (Lyre's Dry London, lemon, hibiscus), and an N/Amaro & Coke (Pathfinder NA Amaro, guarapo, cola). The non-alcoholic list rotates seasonally.

CORK, The Wine Shop at COOK is a curated bottle shop on South 20th Street near Rittenhouse Square, opened in late 2020 by restaurateur Audrey Claire Taichman as a retail companion to her adjacent Audrey Claire COOK demonstration kitchen. Alongside 120-plus hard-to-find wines, vermouths, ciders, and bottled cocktails, CORK has built one of the Philadelphia region's largest non-alcoholic selections, branding itself "Dry Bar Headquarters." Per a 2023 Philadelphia Inquirer feature, buyer Michelle Flisek said the store carries more than 100 varieties of zero-proof items, including Ritual Zero Proof spirits, Lyre's Aperitif Rosso, Spiritless tequila alternative, and canned Ghia apéritifs. The shop's own "Zero Proof Selections" guide also highlights Curious Elixir No. 4 and TÖST sparkling. Rounding out the inventory are mixers, bitters, snacks, and barware — a top regional source for NA bottles rather than a dedicated alcohol-free venue.

Flight Club is a social darts venue on Walnut Street, and it carries the deepest named non-alcoholic beer list found anywhere in Philadelphia: five, all priced and named — Sam Adams Just the Haze, Athletic's Cerveza Atlética, Lagunitas IPNA, Sierra Nevada Hop Splash and Guinness 0. On the cocktail side the Midway Splash builds Seedlip Grove 42 with pineapple, lemon and tonic, and there is a Lyre's flight of three at $13 running a G&T, an Amalfi Spritz and a Classico. The format is the real draw: the evening is organised around playing darts rather than around drinking, and the venue runs to one in the morning on Friday and Saturday.
