Lyre's in San Francisco, CA

Nationally awarded Union Square cocktail bar with a dedicated non-alcoholic section of craft "spirit-free" drinks.

Around-the-world-themed cocktail bar in SoMa from the Pacific Cocktail Haven team, with a small zero-proof cocktail section built on Lyre's spirits.

The New Bar is San Francisco's dedicated alcohol-free bottle shop and tasting bar, the Cow Hollow outpost of the brand founded by Brianda Gonzalez, who opened the original Los Angeles location in July 2022. The SF store opened in March 2024 on Union Street, in the former home of plant shop The Sill. Everything sold is zero-proof: one wall holds non-alcoholic wines, ciders, and sparkling bottles, while the other side carries NA spirits, beer, aperitifs, bitters, mixers, and canned mocktails. The shop keeps 40–50 curated labels at a time — names like Ghia, Lyre's, De Soi, Wilderton, Three Spirit, Ritual Zero Proof, Seedlip, Athletic Brewing, and Kin Euphorics — and runs daily in-store tastings with staff who specialize in booze-free alternatives. Online ordering, in-store pickup, and local delivery are also offered.

Kiln is a two-Michelin-star tasting-menu restaurant in San Francisco's Hayes Valley, opened in May 2023 by chef John Wesley and general manager Julianna Yang, both alumni of the Michelin-starred Sons & Daughters. Set in a converted Fell Street garage with 30-foot ceilings and a Sonoma olive tree at its center, the roughly 20-course menu leans Nordic, built on curing, drying, and fermentation. For non-drinkers, beverage director Vincent Balao — formerly of three-Michelin-star Atelier Crenn — created a dedicated spirit-free pairing ($135), offered alongside the wine and reserve pairings rather than as a substitute. It draws on housemade kombucha, seasonal shrubs, and amazake, plus Seedlip, Lyre's, and Proxies non-alcoholic wine. Named pours include the Why Yuzu Sour (yuzu, genmaicha, Seedlip Garden 108, Oro Blanco, kombu syrup, amazake foam), Verde Side, and Smoke & Mirrors.
