Seedlip in Dallas, TX

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.

Sixty Vines is Uptown Dallas's wine-on-tap restaurant with a documented zero-proof program: a "Mocktails + NA Wines" menu section carrying four dedicated NA cocktails by name — Daylight Spritz, Garden Spritz, The Bright Side, and Blackberry Sage & Soda — plus a rosé, white, and red non-alcoholic wine list from Oddbird and Missing Thorn, all available year-round alongside 60 wines on tap. The builds lean on real zero-proof components like Seedlip Garden 108, Oddbird's Presence white blend, Jack Rudy tonic syrup, and Fever-Tree mixers rather than juice and garnish, so the wine-focused format extends to non-drinking guests rather than stopping at a token mocktail.

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.

Elm & Good, the American tavern inside Deep Ellum's Kimpton Pittman Hotel, builds its zero-proof drinks on Seedlip rather than defaulting to soda-and-syrup. The bar pours a Gingiberi Fizz made with Seedlip Spice 42, ginger syrup, orange cordial, lemon, aquafaba and ginger beer, plus the Espresso Self, a spirit-free take on the espresso martini. These are shaken, aquafaba-foamed builds pulled from the same seasonal cocktail program the bar runs, not an afterthought Shirley Temple.

Nobu Dallas, the Uptown outpost of Nobu Matsuhisa's global Japanese empire inside Hotel Crescent Court, backs its non-alcoholic offering with real product rather than a token Shirley Temple. The printed menu carries Asahi 0.0% non-alcoholic rice lager alongside an extensive whole-leaf Ikaati tea program with several caffeine-free options, and the bar has built serious spirit-free cocktails on genuine NA spirits: the Sansho Verde on Seedlip Garden 108 and the Oaxacan Punch on Seedlip Spice 94. Nobu's corporate beverage team has also developed a green-tea "tea cocktail" pairing program aimed at sober-curious fine-dining guests, positioning tea as a wine-like alternative alongside the omakase.

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.

City Works at The Shops at Clearfork runs a printed "Zero-Proof (Spirit-Free)" section of roughly eleven items — unusually deep for a beer-forward restaurant. The strongest build is the Peace Punch, made with Seedlip Grove 42, orange and pineapple juice, cream of coconut, lime and grenadine. Others include a Garden Nojito (cucumber, mint, lime, lavender and raspberry syrups), a Mellow Mule with blueberry syrup and ginger beer, and a Strawberry Soothe. Some items in the section are house lemonades and dirty sodas rather than mixed drinks.

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.

City Hall Bistro sits inside The Adolphus, the 1912 Beaux-Arts hotel downtown, and runs a Free Spirited section that appears on all four of its current menus — lunch, dinner and both in-room lists — rather than surfacing only for Dry January. The Blood Orange Mocktail is built on Ritual's tequila alternative with blood orange and ginger thyme; the Adolphus Spiced Tea combines Ritual's rum alternative with Seedlip Garden 108, orgeat and lemon into something warm-spiced and long. Clausthaler non-alcoholic beer rounds it out. One caution: the hotel publishes conflicting opening hours across two of its own official pages, so we have recorded none — call before planning breakfast or a late dinner.

Earls in Legacy West prints two alcohol-free sections — Zero Proof for the mixed drinks and Non-Alcoholic for beer and soft options. The two strongest builds use Seedlip: a Picante Margarita on Seedlip Notas de Agave and Seedlip Spice with smoky pepper and lime, and a Coconut Mango Cooler on Seedlip Spice with basil and lime. Cheaper builds include an Italian Spritz, a Strawberry Hibiscus Mule and a rotating sparkling lemonade, with Guinness 0 and Athletic Brewing's Run Wild on the beer list.
