Best Non-Alcoholic Bars in London, England

Raven Records is a heavy-metal record store, metal-themed coffee shop and fully alcohol-free bar in Camden Town, billed as the world's first heavy-metal alcohol-free bar. Everything on offer is 0.0%: Heineken 0.0 on draught alongside Guinness 0.0, Stella 0.0 and craft NA beer from Brulo, plus seven alcohol-free whiskies and AF gin, vodka, tequila and botanical spirits used in the bar's alcohol-free cocktails. Founded by owners Ben and Chloe, it was conceived as a socialising space that doesn't revolve around alcohol.

The Lucky Saint is the alcohol-free beer brand's first permanent pub, on Devonshire Street in Marylebone — a restored Victorian pub built around the alcohol-free pint rather than treating it as an afterthought. It serves a full bar of spirits, wine and cask beer as well, so this is a mixed room rather than a dry one, but the depth of the no-and-low list is the reason to come: around fifteen per cent of drinks sold here are alcohol-free. It pours the brand's own unfiltered 0.5% lager and a newer IPA alongside a rotating range of low- and no-alcohol beers, ciders and cans, Italian aperitivo bitters such as Crodino, and a short list of alcohol-free cocktails, with a full food menu. It is one of the clearest signs of London's shift: a busy, all-day pub where ordering a zero-proof pint is the unremarkable choice.

Nightjar opened in 2011 on City Road at the northern edge of Shoreditch and was among the bars that defined London's modern cocktail revival. It was founded by Edmund Weil and Rosie Stimpson, a jazz, swing and blues singer, who set out to build a room that would do justice to the music as much as the drinks — Weil has said the idea came from the style and the music angle before the drinks, rooted in a love of art deco design and the pre-Prohibition era. It took Difford's Guide's Best New Bar award in its opening year and went on to place third on The World's 50 Best Bars in 2012. There is live music nightly, and the menu carries an explicit non-alcoholic section rather than off-menu mocktails: the signature Adonis is built from Taronja de Gris orange wine, Aperitivo Professore, Fino sherry, barrel-aged tsipouro and Muyu Vetiver Gris for genuine bittersweet depth.

The Connaught Bar in Mayfair, repeatedly ranked the world's best bar, gives its non-alcoholic drinking the same rigour as its celebrated martini trolley. The menu carries a dedicated 'Innocence' section, and the current Synergia list runs three from-scratch alcohol-free cocktails — one per chapter — built on a stocked range of non-alcoholic spirits and botanicals, such as The Chill Out with house chilli syrup and passion fruit.

Lyaness is the South Bank flagship of Ryan Chetiyawardana, the bartender who trades as Mr Lyan and whom The Telegraph dubbed the world's most awarded bartender. It opened on 29 March 2019 inside Sea Containers London, taking over the Thames-side room that had housed his previous bar, Dandelyan — a venue he closed at its peak, months after it was crowned World's Best Bar at the 2018 World's 50 Best Bars. Lyaness earned the same standing of its own, named World's Best Cocktail Bar at the 2022 Spirited Awards, and remains a fixture on the global best-bars lists. The list is built around a handful of house "ingredients" reinvented each year. Five of its fifteen cocktails are offered in full alcohol-free versions made with the same technique as the originals, and the zero-proof Three Spirit Livener — grass amazake, gentian and pine — is a signature non-alcoholic serve.

Seed Library is the Shoreditch cocktail bar from Ryan Chetiyawardana, the bartender better known as Mr Lyan, who reshaped London drinking in 2013 with White Lyan — the first bar to work with no perishables, no ice and no branded spirits. His later rooms, Dandelyan (named the world's best bar in 2018) and its South Bank successor Lyaness, have been fixtures of the World's 50 Best list. Opened in the basement of the One Hundred Shoreditch hotel at 100 Shoreditch High Street, Seed Library is pitched as his neighbourhood bar: less theatrical than the flagship, built around what the team call stripped-back analogue forms and a maker's touch — minimal fuss, maximum flavour, drawn from unexpected ingredients. It is a low-lit room with a pared-back, produce-led list. Its "Pathways" menu carries four dedicated non-alcoholic serves, and roughly half the full cocktail list can be rebuilt booze-free; named low- and no-alcohol drinks include the Hand-Rolled Spritz and Master Stock Plus.

Tayēr + Elementary opened on Old Street in 2019 as the bar of Monica Berg and Alex Kratena, two of the most decorated names in the trade: Berg previously ran Oslo's Himkok, while Kratena spent years behind London's Artesian across the run in which it topped The World's 50 Best Bars four years running. Their Shoreditch-fringe room is now a fixture near the top of that same list, ranked No.5 in the world in 2025. It is really two bars behind one concrete partition — Elementary at the front is a bright, floor-to-ceiling-windowed, all-day walk-in room where largely pre-batched drinks are poured in seconds, while the refined Tayēr bar sits behind. Low- and no-alcohol options run through the seasonal list, and the pair collaborated with Everleaf on a non-alcoholic ready-to-drink Blood Orange and Timur Pepper Highball.

Swift opened on Old Compton Street in November 2016, taking over the site of the long-running Soho drinking den Lab. It is the work of Bobby Hiddleston and Mia Johansson — a bartending couple who met while working at the celebrated, now-shuttered Milk & Honey — in partnership with Edmund Weil and Rosie Stimpson, the team behind Nightjar and Oriole. The name is a promise: an upstairs bar built for a quick, well-made drink before dinner or the theatre, with no booking required, and a dark cocktail den below for settling in. It has since grown into a small group with further bars in Shoreditch and Borough, and is a near-permanent fixture on the World's 50 Best Bars list. The walk-in upstairs room carries a dedicated non-alcoholic list alongside its aperitivo menu, and the sibling Swift Borough pours a named low/no serve, the Atopia, with spiced citrus, Botivo, strawberry and pink peppercorn.

Three Sheets opened on Dalston's Kingsland Road in 2016, the work of brothers Max and Noel Venning, who came down from Manchester to build a bar around a stripped-back, ingredient-first philosophy. It first traded as Between the Sheets before the pair judged the name too suggestive. The room is tiny and deliberately spare — marble-topped tables, exposed brick and candlelight — with none of the theatre or clutter of a big-format cocktail bar; the focus is squarely on what is in the glass, and that discipline has earned it a place on The World's 50 Best Bars list. The menu is split into three "sheets" by alcohol strength, and the alcohol-free run rebuilds the classics properly: a booze-free whisky sour, negroni and espresso martini built on Belgian Opius NA elixirs, with three chillies infused in vegetable glycerin to restore the heat and viscosity alcohol would otherwise give.

Kwãnt is the Mayfair cocktail bar of Erik Lorincz, the Slovakia-born bartender who spent more than seven years as head bartender of the American Bar at The Savoy — helping take it to No.1 on The World's 50 Best Bars in 2017 — and who won the Diageo World Class competition in 2010. He opened the first Kwãnt in 2019 in the basement of Momo on Heddon Street, where within a year it was named Best New Opening at the World's 50 Best Bars 2020. CORRECTION TO OUR EARLIER LISTING: after Momo closed during the pandemic, Lorincz spent around eighteen months designing and relaunching Kwãnt at its current corner site at 52 Stratton Street, two minutes from Green Park, reopening in 2023 — it is no longer beneath Momo. The name is a play on "quaint", and the reborn bar drew CLASS magazine's first-ever 10/10 review. Its menu lists five dedicated non-alcoholic cocktails alongside the two dozen alcoholic ones, many built on herbs grown in-house and treated with the same craft as the full-strength drinks.

Artesian opened in 2008 as the bar of The Langham, the grande-dame hotel on Portland Place that has been synonymous with London glamour since 1865, and takes its name from the 360-foot artesian well that once drew the purest water in the city from beneath the hotel's foundations. The room was designed by David Collins Studio as a Victorian cabinet of curiosities: a soaring pagoda-topped bar, jewelled mirrored panelling, blue-and-purple faux-crocodile tiling, chinoiserie detail and its signature deep-purple leather chairs beneath high ceilings and tall bay windows. It is one of the most decorated cocktail bars in the world, named The World's Best Bar for four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015. Head bartender Giulia Cuccurullo's "Ultimo" menu includes dedicated non-alcoholic serves: Currant, a booze-free paloma with Smiling Wolf agave and London Essence raspberry-rose soda, and an effervescent Apple built on Lyre's American Malt and Amaretto with Wignac cider.

Homeboy opened in 2018 on Islington's Essex Road as the debut bar from Dublin-born Aaron Wall, who had already run award-winning bars in Paris, Dublin and London. Its Modern Irish Hospitality concept — presented under Wall's tongue-in-cheek MIH Records banner, with the drinks list laid out as a vinyl set list of Disc 01 The Intro, Disc 02 The Crescendo and Disc 03 The Finish — pairs Irish comfort food and a hip-hop and R'n'B soundtrack with a genuinely serious cocktail programme. The room is snug and low-lit, all dark wood, deep leather banquettes and a black-and-white chequered bar, with live Irish music on Thursdays and Sundays and DJs at weekends. It is a World's 50 Best Discovery bar and a fixture on the Top 50 Cocktail Bars list, with a second room in Battersea. Its menu is organised into three pillars — Irish whiskey, Contemporary and Classics — and carries two dedicated non-alcoholic cocktails made with the same technique-led approach as the rest of the list.

Dishoom's King's Cross branch is the largest and most theatrical of the group, opened in 2014 inside a former Victorian railway transit shed — a godown, in Bombay parlance — on Stable Street behind Granary Square. Dishoom was founded by cousins Shamil and Kavi Thakrar, who opened their first site in Covent Garden in 2010 as a tribute to the old Irani cafés of Bombay, the all-day institutions built by Zoroastrian Persian immigrants; the main hall here recalls a 1920s Irani café, crowned by an art deco clock modelled on the one at Bombay's Victoria Terminus. It is regularly called the best mocktail bar in London, and the non-alcoholic list is a proper menu section rather than an afterthought: a Teetotal Espresso Martini, a Sober Negroni and a rotating range of 0% beers, served all day alongside the Bombay food.

Little Mercies is a small, multi-award-winning neighbourhood cocktail bar on Broadway Parade in Crouch End, open since 2018. It was founded by Alan Sherwood with brothers Max and Noel Venning — the team behind the acclaimed Three Sheets in Dalston and Soho — and carries the same low-waste, precision-led ethos, having been named Sustainable Bar of the Year by the UK's Top 50 Cocktail Bars three times, in 2022, 2023 and 2025. The space is compact and unshowy, with bare brick walls, accents of midnight blue, banquettes and a handful of bar stools, and it fills with a bustling neighbourhood crowd; a kitchen turns out playful seasonal small plates, so it works equally as a date-night spot and a drop-in local. It carries a genuine dedicated low- and no-alcohol cocktail selection alongside its main list, built with the same house-made ingredients Three Sheets is known for.

Aulis is Simon Rogan's Michelin-starred, 12-seat chef's table hidden on St Anne's Court just off Dean Street in Soho, where dishes are cooked and explained in front of you. Its non-alcoholic pairing is treated with the same technical precision as the food and is curated by sommelier Charles Carron Brown, who ferments house drinks like the Beer Bucha, a hop-fermented kombucha. Club Oenologique calls it one of the capital's leading soft-drink menus, making the zero-proof flight a genuine reason to book rather than an afterthought.

Cycene is a one-Michelin-star tasting-menu restaurant inside Shoreditch's Blue Mountain School, and its non-alcoholic pairing is built by a chef rather than the sommelier. Caitlin Jones and the kitchen make a bespoke flight of house-fermented kombuchas and drinks matched to each course - a double-fermented pear and celeriac kombucha with the opening snacks, a pumpkin, miyagawa and greengage-kernel drink alongside sea-urchin linguini, and honey-fermented milk with dessert. There is also a 'half-and-half' option that alternates glasses of fine wine with the homemade kombuchas, so non-drinkers get a genuine tasting experience rather than an afterthought.

Sollip is a Michelin-starred, Korean-influenced modern-European tasting-menu restaurant tucked in the backstreets near London Bridge, run by husband-and-wife team Woongchul Park and Bomee Ki. Alongside its wine list it offers a dedicated non-alcoholic pairing that sommelier Vita Gargiulo says is fast becoming more popular than wine. The soft pairing is built bespoke with the kitchen rather than pulled off a shelf, running house-made pours like a coffee kombucha and a burnt-cabbage juice with lemon-thyme oil that track the tasting menu course for course.

Da Terra is the two-Michelin-star restaurant of chef Rafael Cagali inside Bethnal Green's Town Hall Hotel, serving Brazilian-Italian tasting menus. Alongside its acclaimed wine list, head sommelier Maria Boumpa runs a dedicated non-alcoholic pairing built course by course from the kitchen's own produce. Pours are made in-house rather than pulled from a bottle list, and demand for the option has, per Club Oenologique, 'continued to soar.'

Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London at The OWO is the one-Michelin-star (2025) flagship of three-Michelin-star chef Mauro Colagreco, set inside the restored Old War Office on Whitehall. Its non-alcoholic offering is a genuine, kitchen-led programme rather than an afterthought: a dedicated multi-course Temperance Pairing (about £80 for five courses, £105 for seven) of sparkling teas, water kefirs and from-scratch mocktails built to mirror the tasting menu's 70-plus British fruits and vegetables. Serves include The Smokey Carrot, the English Garden No-Tini with Seedlip Garden 108 and Everleaf Marine, and the 'Dandy Smoke' zero-alcohol homage to Islay whisky.

Scarfes Bar is the World's 50 Best-ranked cocktail bar inside Rosewood London, a drawing-room-style room in Holborn hung with Gerald Scarfe caricatures and driven by live nightly jazz. Under Director of Bars Andy Loudon, its printed seasonal menus now fold serious zero-proof builds into the main list rather than hiding them on a footnote. The 2025 'Long Drawn Out Sip' menu spotlighted two alcohol-free originals among its 24 creations, led by the No-Cracker 0% (Amarico, Martini Vibrante and acorn soda) and the Lost & Found 0% (juniper hydrosol, Martini Vibrante, raspberry and iris cordial).

Punch Room is the celebrated cocktail parlour hidden behind the lobby of The London EDITION, a landmark Ian Schrager hotel on Berners Street in Fitzrovia, and one of the city's cosiest cocktail dens. Its 2025 'Recipe Book' menu — published as a genuine take-home recipe book — sets three no-booze punches alongside fifteen spirited ones, and the bar has highlighted its alcohol-free serves as strong sellers. All three zero-proof drinks are built on Everleaf, the British non-alcoholic aperitif, and are made sustainably from the same ingredients as the spirited cocktails earlier in the menu.

The Donovan Bar is the World's-50-Best-listed cocktail room inside Rocco Forte's Brown's Hotel in Mayfair, run by maestro Salvatore Calabrese and Director of Mixology Federico Pavan. Its signature achievement for non-drinkers is structural: the menu is built so that every section pairs four alcoholic cocktails with one full alcohol-free serve, given equal billing and treated as a real drink rather than a placeholder. The zero-proof builds are engineered to match the character and flavour of their spirited counterparts, drawing on bases like Seedlip.

Dishoom's first standalone London Permit Room, an all-day cafe-bar on Portobello Road that treats not drinking as a first-class order rather than an afterthought. The name comes from Bombay's prohibition-era drinking permits, and the menu keeps the joke going with a dedicated teetotal section: a Sober Summer Negroni built on no-alcohol gin and bitter syrups, house chai, Bombay sodas and rotating alcohol-free specials alongside the full cocktail list. It opens for breakfast and runs past midnight at weekends, holds tables for walk-ins, and serves the group's Bombay comfort cooking throughout, so an alcohol-free evening here works as a real night out rather than a compromise.

The Shoreditch branch of London's Bombay-cafe group, and the most useful one for anyone not drinking: the drinks menu carries a named Teetotal Tipples section, eight alcohol-free builds priced and written like the rest of the cocktail list. A Sober Summer Negroni runs green apple and apricot through no-alcohol gin and bitter syrup, the Teetotal Espresso Martini works espresso against black cardamom and ginger, and the Crystal All-Clear Mojito clarifies the house cordial with a zero-proof aperitivo. Around them sit house chai, Bombay sodas and the full all-day kitchen, from bacon naan rolls at breakfast to black daal at midnight, in a room that takes bookings and holds space for walk-ins.

Eve Bar is the cocktail bar beneath Frog by Adam Handling in Covent Garden, built around cocktails, Champagne and caviar, with a glass-fronted drinks lab feeding both rooms and a near-total zero-waste philosophy. Its treatment of alcohol-free drinkers changed shape with the May 2026 menu: the earlier trio of purpose-built non-alcoholic cocktails (Strawberries and Cream, Gooseberry, Lemon) has been retired, and the current list instead marks selected serves as available alcohol-free with named zero-proof bases — the Peachy remade on Everleaf Mountain, the British Pop on Pentire Adrift, the Mirage Paloma on Pentire Seaward, and the house Gin Martini also offered alcohol-free. It remains a place where a non-drinker can order a composed, garnished cocktail rather than a soda, but the dedicated zero-proof builds are gone for now.

Kol is chef Santiago Lastra's one-Michelin-star modern-Mexican restaurant in Marylebone, with a destination basement mezcaleria whose bar is led by former American Bar head bartender Maxim Schulte. The non-alcoholic drinks are given the same intent as the cocktail and mezcal lists: the bar folds trimmings from the food menu into a beetroot-and-hibiscus agua fresca, served alongside an in-house horchata and a hibiscus agua fresca. It is a small but genuine zero-proof offering inside one of the UK's most acclaimed Mexican kitchens.

The American Bar at The Savoy, on the Strand, is London's oldest surviving cocktail bar (open since 1893) and a long-standing World's 50 Best Bars name, crowned the World's Best Bar in 2017. Its 2025 'Liquid Moments' menu — 17 cocktails marking the Savoy's 135th anniversary under head bartender Angelo Sparvoli — carries a set of genuine non-alcoholic cocktails, among them the King's Cobbler and Homecoming, mixed with the same craft as the spirituous list. For a landmark grand-hotel bar of this stature, that makes it a rare high-value zero-proof option in central London.

Noble Rot is the original, cult wine bar and restaurant on Bloomsbury's Lamb's Conduit Street, born from the acclaimed wine magazine of the same name and celebrated for one of the best by-the-glass lists in London. For no- and low-alcohol drinkers it goes beyond a token soft drink: its adjoining Shrine to the Vine shop stocks genuine de-alcoholised 0% ABV wines from France's Domaine des Grottes, so you can drink a real dealcoholised Gamay or Malvasia rather than a mocktail. It is the rare serious wine destination where the zero-proof option is actual wine.

The Laundry is an all-day bistro, wine bar and wine shop on Coldharbour Lane in Brixton, run by chef-sommelier Melanie Brown. Alongside its wine-led list it keeps a small but genuine alcohol-free selection, with non-alcoholic mocktails including a Seedlip Spritz built on the zero-proof distilled spirit and a house Watermelonade. It gives south London a low-and-no option to sit with beyond the central cocktail rooms, whether at brunch, on the terrace, or over an evening plate.

The Gipsy Hill Brewing Co. Taproom occupies a Hamilton Road industrial unit in West Norwood, directly opposite the working brewhouse, pouring up to a dozen keg lines backed by fridges of cans and rotating low- and no-alcohol options. Its non-alcoholic anchor is brewed in-house: HepcAF, a 0.5% alcohol-free IPA built from the recipe for Hepcat, the brewery's best-selling IPA, using the same Citra, Mosaic, Ekuanot and Mouteka hops. That makes for a genuinely hop-forward zero-proof pint poured by the people who brew it, alongside the full-strength core range, guest cask and wine. Local street-food vendors rotate through the yard and Yard Sale Pizza delivers on-site.

Mikkeller Brewpub London is the Danish cult brewery's two-floor Exmouth Market brewpub, opened in 2019 in collaboration with pop singer Rick Astley and built around an on-site 7.5-hectolitre brewery that feeds 20 ever-changing taps. Roughly half the taps pour beer brewed on the premises, and the line-up always keeps at least one non-alcoholic beer on draught, including Mikkeller's own alcohol-free IPA that reviewers say drinks like the full-strength original rather than a compromise. Because Mikkeller is one of the most respected names in low- and no-alcohol brewing, the NA pour here is a genuine draught option beside the food, not a token soft drink.

The basement aperitivo bar beneath Lina Stores' Brewer Street delicatessen, the Italian grocer that has anchored Soho since 1944. Upstairs is all fresh pasta and hanging salumi; downstairs the green-and-brass bar pours a negroni-led list with an unusually well-built page of virgin cocktails. Three zero-proof drinks are constructed with the same cordials-and-bitters seriousness as the boozy side: Essenza on Amaro 0% with lemon balm cordial and a strawberry and lavender soda, Euphoria on Amaro 0% with raspberry, mint and tonic, and Ananas & Menta on Gin 0% with pineapple cordial and a pepper bitter. Aperitivo snacks come from the deli, and the room works as well for an early evening as a nightcap.
