Best Non-Alcoholic Bars in Phoenix, AZ

Billed as the Valley's first dedicated non-alcoholic bar, The Nixer (from Everything NA, LLC) is a craft zero-proof operation built into a repurposed horse-and-utility trailer that pops up across Phoenix at markets, concerts, and dry happy hours, with a home base on Grand Avenue. Rather than soda-and-juice afterthoughts, its bartenders — 'nixologists' — build layered NA drinks, many infused with adaptogens, nootropics, functional mushrooms, and CBD. The Nixer also works private events and corporate functions and offers ready-to-drink options, making it the metro's most visible flag-carrier for a genuine alcohol-free night out.

A fully alcohol-free kava bar in the Arcadia area, Kawana offers a relaxed, social alternative to a traditional bar, specializing in handcrafted kava shells and plant-based mocktails alongside other botanical drinks. A calm, community-minded room for a genuinely sober night out. (Kava is alcohol-free but psychoactive — alcohol-free, not substance-free.)

A Phoenix outpost of the well-known Kavasutra chain (the original of two Phoenix locations, on Thunderbird Rd) — a fully alcohol-free kava bar pouring traditional kava preparations, kratom teas, and botanical drinks in a laid-back lounge built for hanging out without alcohol. (Kava and kratom are alcohol-free but psychoactive — alcohol-free, not substance-free.)

A fully alcohol-free bar and lounge in Tempe built around spirit-free cocktails, kava, kratom and botanical root teas, herbal teas, and coffee. Beyond the drinks, The Chill Room runs a packed community calendar — open mic nights, live music, DJs, movie nights, trivia, and poker — making it a true third place for the sober and sober-curious in the East Valley.

A welcoming, fully alcohol-free kava bar on Apache Blvd in Tempe with a vibrant social atmosphere and a menu of strong, well-made kava, kratom teas, mocktails, and coffee. A reliable late-night, no-alcohol hangout on the East Valley / ASU side of the metro. (Kava and kratom are alcohol-free but psychoactive — alcohol-free, not substance-free.)

A fully alcohol-free lounge in the West Valley (Glendale), Zero Proof Lounge is one of the only true sober bars in metro Phoenix — its entire menu is non-alcoholic, spanning botanical-tea cocktails and kava-based builds that mimic familiar drinks. An 18-and-over, free-Wi-Fi spot built for socializing without alcohol rather than an afterthought NA section on a drinking menu. (Some builds use kava, which is alcohol-free but psychoactive.)

Set in the historic Luhrs Building downtown, Bitter & Twisted is one of Phoenix's most decorated cocktail bars — and it takes its zero-proof side seriously. Alongside a dedicated spirit-free menu, the team says roughly 60 percent of the full cocktail list can be built without alcohol. Named NA drinks have included the Nada Colada, the fizzy hibiscus-sage-cinnamon Miss Nightingale, and Hasta La Vista, Berry! — a balance of zero-proof mezcal and Martini & Rossi's non-alcoholic aperitif with a triple-berry shrub and soda.

A fourth-floor cocktail bar above the Residence Inn/Courtyard in downtown Phoenix, Little Rituals was a James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Bar (2024 and 2025) — and it treats mocktails with the same reverence as its spirited list, with roughly 40 percent of the menu available alcohol-free. Components like syrups, infusions, and foams are made in house. A standout is the N/A Paloma, built on spirit-free blanco tequila, seasonal grapefruit soda, key lime, and a touch of sea salt.

A tiny, immersive below-deck tiki bar themed around an 18th-century sailing voyage, UnderTow is a Phoenix cult favorite — and its menu runs a genuine lineup of spiritless tiki drinks built with non-alcoholic 'liquors' rather than just juice. Now operated under the Barter & Shake hospitality group (with a second location in Gilbert), reservations are essentially required for the cramped, transportive room, where the zero-proof tiki builds get the same tropical, layered treatment as the rum-forward originals.

A Biltmore-area New American restaurant and whiskey bar open since 2013, The Gladly pairs a serious beverage program (350-plus whiskies and a James Beard-recognized kitchen) with a permanent, menu-printed 'Zero Proof' section — crafted non-alcoholic cocktails built on real NA spirits like Seedlip and Lyre's rather than a token mocktail. Phoenix New Times has highlighted it as a go-to for finding genuine alcohol-free drinks on the menu.

Tucked into a historic 1890s brick bungalow beside Pizzeria Bianco on downtown's Heritage Square, Bar Bianco is chef Chris Bianco's wine-and-cocktail bar — and a relaxed spot to wait for a table with a real zero-proof option in hand. Most of its mocktails pair Seedlip non-alcoholic spirits with house-made syrups for layered, low-sweetness drinks like the citrusy Vinifera Spice and the herbal Mariposa Milk.

An all-day café and bar in downtown Chandler (Phoenix metro) built so the alcohol-free options are the point, not an afterthought: Maple House pours espresso and coffee by day and a full slate of zero-proof cocktails — including a Seedlip-based Nojito — into the evening, in a comfortable, living-room-style space. Phoenix New Times named it Best Non-Alcoholic Drink Options in its 2024 Best of Phoenix awards.

The downtown Phoenix pub from one of Arizona's most acclaimed, sustainability-minded breweries — and a rare brewery that makes its own non-alcoholic beer. Arizona Wilderness released ARIZO[NA], billed as the state's first non-alcoholic IPA (bright citrus, balanced bitterness, snappy finish), and also pours Wild Water, a zero-proof sparkling water hopped with El Dorado and Mosaic. A genuine taproom experience for anyone skipping alcohol.

A beloved, award-winning neighborhood brewery on N 24th Street in central Phoenix, Wren House is known for some of Arizona's best IPAs — and it brews its own zero-proof Non-Alcoholic Spellbinder, a 0.5% ABV version of its flagship hazy IPA with light effervescence and tropical flavor. A welcoming taproom where a designated driver or non-drinker still has a genuine craft pour in hand. (Note: the standard Spellbinder IPA is alcoholic; ask for the non-alcoholic version.)

A hidden underground speakeasy beneath Sip Coffee & Beer Garage in the Arcadia Lite neighborhood of Phoenix, 36 Below pairs a transportive, candlelit room with a dedicated 'Zero Proof' menu of non-alcoholic 'glasses' that are almost too pretty to drink. Spirit-free options have included the Artemis (alcohol-free rum, white chocolate, hazelnut, oat milk, nitro coffee), the Two of Cups, and Enlightened — crafted with the same care as the cocktails and small plates.

One of Arizona's most ambitious cocktail destinations, Century Grand houses three distinct concepts under one roof — the train-car experience Platform 18, the apothecary-styled Grey Hen Rx, and the below-deck tiki bar UnderTow — and is now operated by the Barter & Shake hospitality group. A repeat national-awards finalist, its bar team will build zero-proof versions of its drinks with the same precision (house syrups, fresh juice, considered garnishes) as the spirited menu, though mocktails are made on request rather than from a separately marketed non-alcoholic menu.

Celebrity chef Angelo Sosa's modern Southwestern restaurant at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge runs a thoughtful non-alcoholic lineup alongside its agave-driven bar. Named mocktails include the Short & Spicy (aguachile, ginger, pineapple) and the Tall & Bubbly (prickly pear, hibiscus, sparkling apple cider), and the NA beer list reaches beyond the basics with Athletic Brewing's Upside Dawn and several Bravus Brewing options.

A hip, retro tiki restaurant and bar in Old Town Scottsdale, Hula's serves playful tropical mocktails in vintage tiki mugs, complete with umbrellas and fruity garnishes. Favorites include the Captain's Colada (coconut cream, allspice falernum, pineapple) and the Castaway Cooler (orange, pineapple, pomegranate, ginger ale) — easy zero-proof sipping at happy hour or any hour.

A modern sushi-and-whiskey restaurant in the Melrose District of Phoenix with a surprisingly deep mocktail list built on Japanese-leaning, seasonal flavors. Several zero-proof drinks are built on Seedlip — including the Virgin Garden (Seedlip Garden, lemon, muddled cucumber, soda) and the Nordic Brace (Seedlip Garden, hibiscus, lemon, jalapeño-ginger).

The stylish New American restaurant at Mountain Shadows Resort, with hearth-fired cooking and Camelback Mountain views — and a generous non-alcoholic menu to match. Spirit-free options lean on Seedlip and Pentire, including the Blueberry Basil Bliss (Seedlip Garden 108, lemon, blueberry, basil), the Pink Petal (Pentire, grapefruit, hibiscus), and the Berry-Berry-Berry Delightful.
