Seedlip in Nashville, TN

The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club is a roughly 40-seat craft cocktail bar in East Nashville's Inglewood stretch, tucked behind Nicoletto's Italian Kitchen on Gallatin Pike. Opened in September 2017 by Bryan Rushton and Andrew Cook, it earned national attention when Food & Wine named it one of the 10 Best Bars in the U.S. From the start, head bartender Laura Unterberg built a serious non-alcoholic program, making The Fox one of the first Nashville bars to commit fully to zero-proof drinks rather than treating them as an afterthought. The bar keeps a standalone non-alcoholic menu of six named cocktails built on spirits like Seedlip, Three Spirit, The Pathfinder, Roots Divino and Stappi, alongside house-made shrubs and syrups. Signature alcohol-free pours include the Snow Monkey N/A Margarita, Dr. Fox, Careful Whisper, The Count, Cool In Nippon and Bird of Paradise.

Noko is an Asian-inspired, wood-fired restaurant that opened in East Nashville in March 2023, founded by owner Jon Murray, managing partner Wilson Brannock, and executive chef and partner Dung "Junior" Vo (a 2025 James Beard semifinalist). It earned Eater Nashville's Best New Restaurant (2023), spots on OpenTable's Top 100 Restaurants in America (2023 and 2024), and recognition from the New York Times. Alongside its cocktail and sake program, Noko keeps a small but genuine named Zero-Proof section on its own menu. House-made options include the Phony Negroni (Tasmanian pepper berry, cinnamon, juniper, orange essence), The Hero (lychee, hibiscus, yuzu, soda), and Guava Girlies (Seedlip Garden 108, guava, basil, yuzu, serrano), with non-alcoholic wine (Vinada Chardonnay) and an Untitled Art NA IPA rounding out the zero-proof choices.

Rare Bird is the rooftop bar and lounge atop the Noelle Hotel in downtown Nashville, perched on the building's 13th floor with views over the skyline and the Cumberland River. It opened to the public in March 2018, built around a "draft cocktails and uncaged spirits" concept in a colorful, design-forward setting. The bar is walk-in only and runs a daily "Golden Hour" happy-hour menu on weekdays. Alongside its full cocktail program, Rare Bird keeps a small but genuinely named zero-proof list that leans on dedicated NA spirits rather than just juice-and-soda mocktails: the Lemon Julip is built on Seedlip Grove 42, and a non-alcoholic riff on an Aperol Spritz uses Ritual N/A Gin with Giffard aperitif. A spirit-free "Daiquiri-Ish" rounds out the no-proof options. It's a scenic, tourist-popular rooftop where a sober guest can order something genuinely composed.
