Best Non-Alcoholic Bars in Nashville, TN

The Mockery is a fully alcohol-free bar and non-alcoholic bottle shop tucked inside the Nashville Farmers' Market in Germantown. Billed as "100% alcohol-free," it pairs a working bar with retail: guests can order from roughly 19 house-made zero-proof cocktails or shop bottles to go. The drink program spans de-alcoholized wines (white, rosé, sparkling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet), NA beers (IPA, pilsner, amber and dark styles), and non-alcoholic spirits, alongside spritzes, highballs, and sparkling-wine-style cocktails. Beyond service, The Mockery hosts NA wine tastings, mocktail-making classes, and private events, positioning itself as an anchor of Nashville's growing sober-curious scene. It keeps Farmers' Market hours, open Friday through Sunday.

Killjoy is Nashville's first booze-free beverage shop, founded by Stephanie Styll, who stopped drinking at the end of 2020. It launched in 2023 as a hidden 200-square-foot space in Wedgewood-Houston before relocating in November 2024 to a storefront in The Shoppes on Fatherland in East Nashville. The shelves are entirely alcohol-free: NA beer, still and sparkling wine, zero-proof spirits, ready-to-drink cocktails, plus kava, adaptogens, and THC/CBD drinks, with a knowledgeable team to guide customers through the selection. Confirmed brands on its own store include Athletic Brewing, Best Day Brewing, Go Brewing, Untitled Art, Dromme, and Prima Pavé. Killjoy was named among the country's top nonalcoholic bottle shops by Wine Enthusiast, and Styll won a NEXT Award from the Nashville Entrepreneur Center in 2024. It runs frequent Dry January tastings and sober-social events.

Killjoy Berry Hill is the second location of Killjoy, the alcohol-free bottle shop founded by Stephanie Styll, who stopped drinking in 2020 and launched the business in 2023. After starting as a Wedgewood-Houston pop-up and opening a retail store in East Nashville, Styll expanded to Berry Hill — the neighborhood where the idea began — opening this roughly 1,000-square-foot shop in October 2025. Like the East Nashville store, it sells exclusively non-alcoholic beer, wine, spirits, and functional beverages (including adaptogenic, THC/CBD, and herbal drinks), and offers on-site sampling so customers can taste before buying. Killjoy bills itself as Nashville's first booze-free beverage shop and, per Styll, the only alcohol-free retail business of its kind in the city. The shop's stated mission is to help change the culture around drinking in Nashville.

Passage Kava Lounge is a fully alcohol-free, 21+ kava and botanical lounge in Madison, tucked in the EastSide Bowl plaza on Gallatin Pike S. Owned by Ryan and Warren Holding, it opened in 2024 and bills itself as the only Nashville-area bar dealing in zero alcohol. The Victorian-inspired room pours traditional kava (including a communal Bula ceremony), botanical teas, coffee, kratom, kombucha, and mocktails, with house kava drinks like Royal Cinnamon, Velvet Shortcake, and Berry Chocolate. Owner Ryan Holding describes it as "a mix of a coffee shop and bar, but without the bar fights," emphasizing connection over intoxication. The lounge programs nightly events: live music on Mondays and Tuesdays, trivia Wednesdays, and karaoke Thursdays. In its first months open, it placed second for Best New Business in the Nashville Scene's Best of Nashville 2024 awards.

Redemption Bar is country artist Ashley McBryde's NA-forward bar, opened in August 2025 on the fifth floor of Eric Church's Chief's on Lower Broadway in downtown Nashville. Inspired by McBryde's own path to sobriety (she is nearly four years sober), the bar centers an 18-drink zero-proof cocktail menu "composed like a setlist," with each drink named after lyrics that carried her forward — including Flickerin' Flames of Hell, Martini McBryde, Gospel Night, and The Devil I Know. The bar takes its name from McBryde's song "Redemption." Alcohol is also served, since "everyone is welcome." Beyond the drinks, the space features an intimate troubadour-style stage built for solo or duo singer-songwriter sets. Billed by the venue as "Broadway's first NA-focused bar," it offers a sober-friendly alternative on a famously alcohol-soaked strip, with a full food menu alongside the zero-proof and alcoholic lists.

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.

Coral Club is a coastal- and tiki-inspired cocktail bar above a strip mall on Gallatin Avenue in East Nashville, opened in May 2024. It was founded by four hospitality veterans: brothers Aaron and Matthew Izaguirre (from the Florida Keys) and partners Brice Hoffman and Kristopher Esqueda, whose résumés include The Patterson House, The Catbird Seat, Saison, and Bastion. The space features a stone bar, a dimly lit lounge, and an open-air rooftop patio, with snacks like black truffle popcorn and tinned fish. The drink menu is organized into Standards, House, and a dedicated Zero-Proof section that co-owner Kristopher Esqueda says "doesn't feel like an afterthought." Confirmed zero-proof options include the Neo-Tropical (Giffard N/A Aperitivo, pineapple, ginger, lime soda), the Chaise Lounge (coconut water, cucumber, lime, soda), a St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, Sanbitter, and Corona 0%.

Le Loup is a craft cocktail bar from restaurateur Ford Fry and his Rocket Farm Restaurants group, opened in early 2022 in Nashville's Germantown neighborhood, tucked above sister restaurant The Optimist. The moody, vintage-inspired room — wood, plush leather, green marble, a stone mantel, and a custom underwater mural by Rebecca Green — pairs more than 50 cocktails (organized as Originals, Classics, Forgotten Classics, and Tributes) with a seafood-leaning menu of oysters, smoked fish dip, scallop crudo, and snacks. For non-drinkers, the bar maintains a dedicated "Zero Proof" list of roughly four made-to-order mocktails at $7–$9, built with the same craft sensibility as the alcoholic menu — think sudachi, sea buckthorn, calpico, and chili. Named zero-proof drinks include the Four and Woodyn You, alongside Lift to the Scaffold and Générique.

Audrey is chef Sean Brock's Appalachian fine-dining restaurant, opened in 2021 in East Nashville and named for his grandmother; it is Michelin-recommended and now led by executive chef Sam Jett. Its non-alcoholic program is built the same way as its cocktails: around fresh, local seasonal produce. At the main restaurant, the zero-proof "menu" arrives as a basket of whole fruits and vegetables — guests pick what they want featured, and the bar builds a drink from no more than three ingredients, using NA bases like Pentire Adrift and the agave alternative Sobre. Head bartender Mike Wolf has said the team will make any drink non-alcoholic. In February 2026 the team opened Upstairs at Audrey, a 30-seat bar above the dining room with a dedicated five-item "zero proof" list, every item priced at $5.

Southern Grist Brewing opened in February 2016 as a 430-square-foot East Nashville operation run by founders Kevin Antoon, Jamie Lee, and Jared Welch — three friends turned homebrewers — and their wives. It has since grown into one of Nashville's most respected craft breweries, known for hazy IPAs and fruited sours, and now runs two taprooms: this East Nashville location on Douglas Avenue (its newest, in the neighborhood where it started) and a larger spot in The Nations. What earns it a place here is its house non-alcoholic line: Oasis, a zero-proof, calorie-free hop water brewed with Citra and Motueka hops for a floral, citrusy character, plus CBD Oasis, a mango variant infused with local CBD from LabCanna. Because the NA drinks are made in-house and poured on draft alongside the beer, sober and sober-curious drinkers get a genuine brewery experience, not an afterthought.

Four Walls is an intimate cocktail bar tucked inside The Joseph, a Luxury Collection Hotel, in Nashville's SoBro/Downtown district. It opened in July 2023 as the final piece of the hotel's beverage program, developed by Joel Pizzuti, and draws on Music City, the American West, and the hotel's Italian-American roots, with a blood-red Italian marble bar and a "La Famiglia Negroni" list. The bar earned a place on Food & Wine's Top 10 U.S. Hotel Bars (2025) and Esquire's Best Bars in America (2024). Its zero-proof offering is an interactive "Craft Your Experience" mocktail program: rather than a fixed list, guests pick a flavor profile — for example "bright and zesty," "spiced and warm," or "tropical and fruity" — and bartenders build a custom non-alcoholic drink using fresh juices, house-made syrups, and garnishes.

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.

Café Roze is an all-day café and restaurant in East Nashville's Lockeland Springs area, opened in 2017 by chef-owner Julia Jaksic (a longtime New York chef, formerly of Employees Only and Jack's Wife Freda) with business partner Eric Lincoln. The vegetable-forward kitchen runs from morning coffee and breakfast through afternoon wine and dinner, and was named a Recommended Restaurant in the inaugural 2025 Michelin Guide American South. Its beverage menu carries a genuine, clearly labeled zero-proof selection rather than an afterthought: dedicated "N/A Wines & Kombucha" and "N/A Beer" sections list a Lyre's Classico non-alcoholic sparkling, the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, Walker Brothers citrus kombucha, and Athletic Brewing's Cerveza N/A. There is also a built NA cocktail, the Florentina Spritz, made with Ritual NA tequila, lime and grapefruit topped with the St. Agrestis Negroni.

Sadie's is a modern Mediterranean-American restaurant in Nashville's Edgehill Village, opened in late 2021 in the former Taco Mamacita space on the corner of Villa Place. It is part of Red Pebbles Hospitality, the local group behind Adele's, The 404 Kitchen, and Shep's Delicatessen, with executive chef Margaret LeVetty (previously Barcelona Wine Bar) leading a mezze-driven, share-focused menu with vegetarian and gluten-free options. For non-drinkers, Sadie's keeps a dedicated "Mocktails" section on its beverage menu: four named zero-proof cocktails — Pathos, Pineapple Express, Blueberry Butterfly, and Strawberry Lemonade — built from fresh purées, citrus, orgeat, and house sodas. The bar also stocks two non-alcoholic beers, Athletic Brewing's Athletic Lite pale lager and an Untitled Art juicy IPA. Spirit-free options are available throughout service, including the weekday happy hour.

Husk Nashville is an acclaimed Southern restaurant from chef Sean Brock and the Neighborhood Dining Group, which opened the original Husk in Charleston in 2010 and brought the concept to Nashville in 2013. Set in a restored 19th-century Victorian home in the Rutledge Hill section of downtown's SoBro, it built its reputation on hyper-regional, ingredient-driven Southern cooking and was named one of Esquire's Best New Restaurants in America shortly after opening. Its bar runs an in-house apothecary program, crafting house-made syrups and ingredients that feed a rotating, seasonal zero-proof list alongside the cocktail menu. Reported non-alcoholic offerings include a house Husk Lemonade and the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, plus regional sodas (Cheerwine, Dr. Enuf, Royal Jamaican ginger beer), Crema Coffee, and High Garden teas. The NA list is real but smaller, and it changes with the kitchen's seasonal menu.

Butcher & Bee is a vegetable-forward, Middle Eastern–leaning restaurant in East Nashville's Historic Edgefield, on Main Street. It opened in 2015 as the second location of the Charleston original, founded in 2011 by restaurateur Michael Shemtov; both are now run by Nashville's Honest to Goodness Hospitality group (also behind Redheaded Stranger and Fancypants). The kitchen is known for mezze and shareable plates — whipped feta with fermented honey, hummus bowls, shakshuka, and avocado crispy rice. Every menu carries a dedicated "Buzz Free" non-alcoholic section. Current zero-proof offerings include a rotating Seasonal Gazoz (a macerated-fruit shrub topped with sparkling water), the Tin Lizzies (Lucano NA Amaro, Crema espresso, Giffard Aperitif Syrup, orange oil), Papaw's Punch (Giffard Aperitif Syrup, lemon, soda), and an Untitled Art NA lager, plus Boylan's sodas and Abita draft root beer.

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.

Urban Grub is a Southern seafood-and-grill restaurant in Nashville's 12 South neighborhood, opened in April 2012 by Jay Pennington and Billy Inman inside a renovated former carwash at the corner of 12th and Gilmore. Branded "Fresh Fish & Fine Aged Meats," the kitchen pairs Southern traditions with a flavored-up tweak — fresh-shucked oysters, smoked and grilled meats, and seafood. The bar maintains a named non-alcoholic program highlighted by local guide Nashville Guru for its "extensive selection" of zero-proof options. That lineup includes mocktails such as the Fauxpresso Martini and Not Aperol Spritz, alongside non-alcoholic beer from Athletic Brewing (Lite, Golden Dawn, and Run Wild IPA) and other NA pours. It's a lively 12 South spot where non-drinkers have a real menu to choose from.

Avo is a fully plant-based, vegan restaurant in Nashville's OneC1ty development on the West End/Midtown edge, tucked beneath the Element Hotel. It was opened in 2015 by raw-food chef Jessica Rice and Hot Yoga Plus owner Susannah Herring, and has been owned by Annie Choo since 2017. The seasonal, chef-driven menu is gluten-free, organic, and locally sourced where possible. Its full bar is also entirely vegan, and alongside cocktails Avo maintains a real non-alcoholic program: a rotating list of named mocktails — including Lil Vamp, Apple Dance, Lemon Lavender, and I Love You So Matcha — plus kombucha (Walker Brothers), sparkling tonics, and cold brew. Reported zero-proof beers include Athletic Brewing's Mexican Copper Ale and Hazy IPA.

Southern Grist Brewing's Nations taproom opened in February 2018, sitting directly in front of the brewery's production facility in Nashville's fast-growing Nations neighborhood. It's the second location for the locally founded craft brewery — its original is in East Nashville — and is known for fruited sours, IPAs, and stouts, with a bigger bar, a fenced dog-friendly patio, and a limited food menu. For non-drinkers, Southern Grist makes its own zero-proof line in-house: Oasis, a 0.0% hop water of purified carbonated water hopped with Citra and Motueka for bright, floral-citrus notes, and CBD Oasis – Mango, which adds mango and CBD from local Nashville brand LabCanna. The taproom pours Oasis on draft and sells it in 4-packs and cases.
