Best Non-Alcoholic Bars in Los Angeles, CA

A fully alcohol-free craft cocktail lounge and scratch kitchen in Alhambra, billed as one of Southern California's first dedicated NA bars, with around 16 house-made zero-proof cocktails built on in-house non-alcoholic spirits and an entirely gluten-free, largely vegan food menu.

LA's first Mexican-inspired non-alcoholic pop-up bar — a roving, fully zero-proof sober-social operation with functional Mexican-rooted cocktails, food, DJs, and community events at rotating Venice-area host venues, with no fixed location.

Kavahana is LA's first dedicated kava nectar bar, serving a fully alcohol-free menu of South Pacific-inspired drinks just blocks from the beach in Santa Monica's Ocean Park neighborhood. Open daily from morning to late night, it draws everyone from laptop workers to date-night crowds.

De La Playa Records & Leisure is a fully alcohol-free hybrid record shop and community space in LA's Highland Park, opened in mid-2024 by three co-founders with roots in Long Beach and the Harbor area: John David Preap ("Bles"), Diego "Fuego" Guerrero, and Jon Paul Lourenço. The shop pairs thousands of vinyl records — hip hop, reggae, jazz, cumbia, salsa, funk, house — with a retail selection of 100-plus non-alcoholic beverages, including Greek- and Italian-style amaros, NA IPAs, de-alcoholized wines, and ready-to-drink cocktails. On weekends, the founders run "Bar Non," a made-to-order zero-proof cocktail stand on the patio (think an NA rum build with ube, cinnamon, maple, and black walnut, or a non-alcoholic Paloma with hopped grapefruit bitters), alongside guest DJ sets, listening parties, and vendor events. The founders deliberately chose to stay alcohol-free — one of LA's clearest dedicated-NA anchors.

Tea at Shiloh is a reservation-only Arts District teahouse opened in March 2022 by founder Shiloh Enoki, built entirely around alcohol-free socializing. Enoki started it after struggling to find late-night spots in Los Angeles that didn't revolve around drinking, so she created a screen-free "third place" of floor sofas, exposed brick, candles, and lanterns. By day it runs as a quiet co-working tea lounge (a roughly five-hour day pass, around $37, with unlimited tea); by night it hosts late-night tea sessions (about 7–11pm, ~$35, unlimited refills) plus jazz nights, sound baths, tarot, and art workshops. Drinks are entirely zero-proof: premium loose-leaf teas like the caffeinated Moonlight White, the red-rooibos Leche de Tigre, and the floral Love Potion, alongside a kava pop-up station. Everything is by advance reservation; no alcohol is served.

A retro tiki restaurant and bar just off the Venice Boardwalk, Belles Beach House pairs Hawaiian-Japanese izakaya cuisine with one of the larger dedicated NA spritz programs on the Westside — a zero-proof section of roughly eight options served in tiki glassware, most around $11.

Death & Co Los Angeles is the first West Coast location of the internationally acclaimed cocktail brand founded in New York's East Village in 2006. It opened in the Arts District of downtown LA just before New Year's Eve 2019 from the Proprietors LLC team (David Kaplan, Alex Day, Ravi DeRossi, Devon Tarby), bringing the group's exacting cocktail standards west with a roughly 25-drink seasonal menu plus a separate walk-up Standing Room bar. For non-drinkers, the bar maintains a dedicated "Zero Proof" section — currently four named, full-craft cocktails ($16–$18) built on genuine NA spirits including Seedlip, Lyre's, Wilderton, Optimist, and Giffard's NA aperitif. Recent named pours include Second Wind, Hullabaloo, Vividus, and Alien Sound. The zero-proof drinks get the same compositional care as the alcoholic menu, making it one of DTLA's more serious NA offerings.

Bar Benjamin is a second-floor craft cocktail bar that opened in May 2025 above The Benjamin Hollywood on Melrose Avenue, from The Hundreds co-founder Ben Shenassafar with partners Jared Meisler and Kate Burr. The cocktail program — developed by Jason Lee (n/soto, Baroo) and beverage director Chad Austin — is known for elaborate, food-driven drinks, and the non-alcoholic list is a genuine priority rather than an afterthought: Austin, who is five years sober, builds the zero-proof cocktails with the same rigor as the full menu. Named NA drinks on the current menu include the Smiley Face (a mango-margarita riff with yellow bell pepper syrup, fermented mango, acid-adjusted pineapple, Wilderton Citrus Bitter, and Optimist Smoky), plus Aura Farm, Bangkok Dangerous, and Tepache Bird. The room is intimate and reservation-friendly, with walk-in bar seating.

Felix Trattoria is chef Evan Funke's acclaimed regional-Italian restaurant on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, opened in 2017 with restaurateur Janet Zuccarini. Known for handmade pasta produced daily in a glass-enclosed "pasta laboratorio," Felix is a Michelin Guide restaurant and a fixture of LA's dining scene. Its bar runs a genuine named non-alcoholic cocktail program built around imported and craft zero-proof bases — England's Pentire botanical aperitivo and Seattle's Pathfinder hemp-and-botanical amaro — plus house-made ginger beer. Lead bartender Henry Terhune frames the list around Italian aperitivo culture: drinks meant "to pique your appetite" before a carb-rich meal. Named zero-proof options include the Monte Rosa, Mare Nostrum, Zenzero, and the Coca-Felix, a Chinotto-style "bitter Coca-Cola" riff — composed, restaurant-quality options rather than an afterthought.

The Rendition Room is a 1930s-style speakeasy tucked behind a bookshelf door at the back of Vitello's, the long-running Italian restaurant on Studio City's stretch of Tujunga Avenue. The intimate, low-lit room leans into Prohibition-era Hollywood atmosphere, with a business-casual dress code and reservations recommended. Beyond its classic spirit-forward menu, the bar runs one of the San Fernando Valley's more developed zero-proof programs, with named non-alcoholic cocktails built on fresh juices and scratch sours rather than simple sodas: the Nectar of the Gods (watermelon, cucumber, lemon, seltzer), Eve on Earth (white cranberry, grapefruit seltzer, scratch sour), Pearadisio (scratch sour, pear, seltzer), and Cloud9 (coconut, pineapple, lemon, mango). Per Resy, the bar recently extended its NA offerings upstairs to its Rat Pack-themed lounge, The Velvet Martini, citing demand from younger guests. Vitello's Italian food can be ordered in the speakeasy.

A colorful, multi-roaster specialty coffee shop in Silver Lake known for creative, cocktail-style non-alcoholic café drinks and one of LA's deepest bean shelves.

Thunderbolt is a neighborhood cocktail bar opened in 2019–2020 by Atlanta-born owner-bartender Mike Capoferri, at the meeting point of Historic Filipinotown, Echo Park, and Downtown LA. The concept is Deep South-inspired — Southern-rooted flavors, a Southern food menu, an extensive Madeira selection — paired with high-tech techniques like centrifuge clarification. It ranked No. 24 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2025 and won that program's Ketel One Sustainable Bar Award for waste reduction and ethical sourcing. The bar runs a small but genuine named non-alcoholic program: zero-proof options include the Pride of Oxnard, School Night, the Lychee Daiquiri, and the Thumper (which incorporates a rare NA milk-punch), and the staff will build custom alcohol-free drinks on request. The room is casual and bright, with an open patio and a pink-and-green palette.

A seasonal California farmers-market restaurant and natural-wine market in Silver Lake whose seasonal cocktail list includes zero-proof options.
