Best Non-Alcoholic Bars in St. Louis, MO

Fleur de Thé is a fully alcohol-free tea salon in Tower Grove South, opened in October 2024 by Johannesburg-born "teapreneur" Colleen Vucinovich. Reservation-only high tea services trace four traditions — Cape Town, Versailles, Windsor and Udaipur — paired with roughly 20 Palais des Thés loose-leaf teas from Paris. At the salon's tea bar, every pour stays at 0% alcohol: Copenhagen Sparkling Tea, tea elixirs, tea flights and botanical mocktails built on Abstinence zero-proof spirits, like the Tea Posy with Water Garden tea, Abstinence Cape Floral and grenadine. It's one of the rare St. Louis venues where the entire drink list is non-alcoholic by design, not as an afterthought.

Pop's Blue Moon calls itself "A Mindful Bar," and it has receipts: this century-old tavern on The Hill — built with lumber salvaged from the 1904 World's Fair — pours one of St. Louis' deepest non-alcoholic lineups alongside its regular bar. Owner Joshua Grigaitis launched booze-free New Moon N/A Saturdays back in November 2018, and by 2022 Feast Magazine reported that non-alcoholic options accounted for about 30 percent of sales, from Athletic Brewing and WellBeing beers to some ten varieties of Lyre's zero-proof spirits and his own Cheerz NA seltzers. One honest heads-up: alcohol-free here isn't always substance-free — the bar also serves CBD, CBG and delta-8 THC-infused drinks. Live music keeps the tiny room loud most nights.

4 Hands Brewing Co. has anchored St. Louis' LaSalle Park neighborhood since 2011, and its lineup now includes three house-brewed non-alcoholic beers: NA City Wide Hoppy Pale, NA Full Life Lager and NA Incarnation, a Mosaic-hopped IPA — all under 0.5% ABV. The tasting room at 1220 S. 8th Street backs them up with a mocktail list built on zero-proof spirits, Athletic Brewing Lite and local Excel sodas, plus food from Hi-Pointe Drive-In's kitchen and an upstairs arcade with Skee-Ball. City Wide, the brewery's civic flagship, donates $1 from every case sold to local nonprofit partners — a program that has generated close to half a million dollars.

A 2019 James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Bar Program, Planter's House has anchored Lafayette Square's cocktail scene since 2013 under proprietor and beverage director Ted Kilgore. The menu carries a dedicated Spirit Free Cocktails section — six $10 drinks built with the same rigor as the house classics, using Feragaia free spirit, Dhos zero-proof gin and tequila, Giffard NA Spritz and Nozeco alcohol-free sparkling rosé. Standouts include Not a Pickle, Bell Tolls, Mace of Spades and Under The Grapefruit Moon. St. Louis Magazine calls it a St. Louis institution that 'makes mocktails with equal skill and finesse.'

The Vandy, the Grove cocktail bar from the STL Barkeep team, opened in early 2023 and treats zero-proof drinking as a first-class program. Co-owner and beverage director Patrick Gioia maintains a dedicated Zero Proof Beverages menu: four $10 NA cocktails — Crimson Gimlet, Pack Mule In Recovery, Nojito and Alternative Expression — built on BARE Zero Proof, Lyre's and Ritual alternatives, plus Leitz dealcoholized Pinot Noir and Blanc de Blanc and Gruvi NA beers. Feast Magazine observed the menu 'has just as many NA drinks as it does tequila-based cocktails,' and Gioia's staff even teaches classes on making NA and low-proof cocktails.

Yellowbelly, the "Sea & Spirits" restaurant and craft cocktail bar that Travis Howard and Tim Wiggins opened on Lindell Boulevard in 2018, pairs coastal-inspired seafood with one of St. Louis's most deliberate zero-proof programs. Four alcohol-free cocktails hold a marked "(N/A)" spot on the menu at $10 — the Belly Bump, Piña Co-Nada, Toothless Tiger and Jungle Feather — drawing on the hydrosol "botanic waters" Wiggins developed so alcohol-free drinks keep real flavor and mouthfeel. Best Day Brewing's N/A Kölsch covers the beer side. St. Louis Magazine's guide to nonalcoholic cocktails counts this buzzy Central West End spot among the city's best places to drink without drinking.

Platypus is the eclectic Grove cocktail bar that Food & Wine named one of the 10 best bars in the country in 2026 — and co-owner Meredith Barry is one of St. Louis's most vocal champions of zero-proof drinking. The chalkboard list of roughly five cocktails rotates constantly, and the NA builds get the same culinary treatment as the boozy ones: recent menus have featured the Flibbertygibbety, with zero-proof tequila, star anise, bitter lemon, and a coffee reduction, and the frozen Jelly of The Month Club made with Ritual rum alternative. Kombucha and NA seltzers round things out amid pinball, live music, karaoke, and comedy nights.

A Central West End fixture since 2015, Retreat Gastropub pairs elevated pub fare with one of St. Louis's most respected cocktail programs — and the current menu gives the zero-proof side its own dedicated Non-Alcoholic section. Alongside Giffard-based builds like the Nah-Perol Spritz and the tiki-leaning Jungle Birdie, you'll find a coffee-forward Cold Fashioned, the savory pineapple-and-bell-pepper Hush Pupper, a house shrub and soda, Athletic Brewing and Best Day NA beers, Gruvi's alcohol-free Dry Secco, and a Mighty Kind CBD seltzer. Now owned by longtime staffers Jennifer Anderson and Sydney Caldwell, Retreat serves dinner six nights a week plus a popular Sunday brunch.

A Tower Grove South institution since 2005, The Royale is the rare neighborhood bar that treats zero-proof drinkers as first-class citizens. Owner Steven Fitzpatrick Smith's corner gastropub — set in a building that has housed a bar since before Prohibition — prints a dedicated N/A cocktails section right on the menu: five house-built alcohol-free drinks, from the ginger-and-mint Functioning Bastard made with zero-proof gin to the beet-forward HeartBeet Spritz, backed by Athletic Brewing and Guinness non-alcoholic beers. Add one of South City's most beloved garden patios and a scratch kitchen turning out tacos and burgers, and it's an easy pick for mixed groups of drinkers and non-drinkers alike.

Vicia, the vegetable-forward flagship of Tara and Michael Gallina's Take Root Hospitality, has been collecting national accolades since it opened in the Cortex Innovation District in 2017 — most recently a 2026 James Beard Award finalist nod for Outstanding Restaurant. The seasonal, farm-driven cooking that made Michael a Food & Wine Best New Chef in 2018 extends to the glass: Vicia offers a year-round non-alcoholic selection spanning mocktails, wines, and beers. The signature Garden Toddy stirs n/a bourbon with opal basil, green shiso, spearmint, marigold, honey, and lemon — a zero-proof drink as garden-obsessed as the food. Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday in a light-filled space at Duncan and Boyle.

Tucked into the lower level of Noto in St. Peters, Bormio channels the Alpine crest — Northern Italy, Switzerland, Austria and beyond — into hearty mountain cooking and one of the St. Louis metro's most serious zero-proof programs. The bar prints a dedicated non-alcoholic menu headlined 'Clear views.': five $13 signature mocktails built on craft NA spirits, from the Ash & Fig (Cut Above zero-proof mezcal, caramelized fig, lime) to a pine-laced Mountain Forager and an NA Espressotini made with Lyre's Amaretti. Best Day Brewing's hazy IPA, Weihenstephaner's NA weissbier and alcohol-removed Mionetto prosecco round out the list. Feast Magazine named the concept — then called Bacaro — its Best New Restaurant of 2024.

Tucked inside the Bowood Farms garden shop in the Central West End, Bowood by Niche is the greenhouse café from Gerard Craft's James Beard Award-winning Niche Food Group. Plants fill the light-drenched dining room and patio, and the daytime drink list treats zero-proof as a first-class citizen: a dedicated menu section of five $10 NA cocktails — from the NA Blackberry 57 with NA gin and NA sparkling to an espresso-honey NA Cafe Martini — plus Best Day Brewing's kölsch or West Coast IPA and an NA version of 4 Hands City Wide. Open daily 8am to 2pm for brunch and lunch, it's one of St. Louis's most reliable spots for a booze-free morning out.

The Passport began as Pour Decisions STL, a mobile bar launched in 2020 by married duo Javia Gilliam-Sanford, a certified sommelier, and mixologist Kaje Sanford. After a hit two-year run downtown, the pair relaunched their travel-themed cocktail and wine bar in a two-story Delmar Loop space in November 2025. The globetrotting menu carries a dedicated Spirit Free section — ten alcohol-free cocktails built on Lyre's non-alcoholic spirits, from the yuzu-spiked Japanese Water to a zero-proof Zombie, Mai Tai, and Sicilian Margarita. With vintage mid-century furniture, an upstairs Equinox Lounge, and a sommelier-run wine club, it's one of St. Louis's most polished settings for a spirit-free night out.

Few sober-curious flexes beat ordering a Bud Zero at the brewery where Budweiser is born. The Biergarten sits inside Anheuser-Busch's historic St. Louis campus — a National Historic Landmark since 1966 — and is open to the public daily, no tour ticket required. Alongside 18 draught beers in signature glassware, the current menu lists five non-alcoholic beers: Bud Zero, Michelob Ultra Zero, Michelob Ultra Lime Zero, Mango Cart NA and Stella Artois Liberté. Add a full food menu, a pet-friendly outdoor patio and a heated tent in the winter months, and this Soulard beer garden is one of the easiest zero-proof outings in the city.

St. Louis's original craft brewpub earns the title: when the Schlafly Tap Room opened in December 1991, it was the first brewery to open in the city since Prohibition. Three decades on, the restored brick landmark in Downtown West still anchors the Schlafly universe — and the brewery now makes two of its own non-alcoholic beers, NA IPA and NA Pale Ale, both under 0.5% ABV and part of the year-round lineup. The NA Pale Ale reimagines the 1991 flagship that started it all. Come for hefeweizen-battered fish and fries, Tuesday-night trivia and a genuine piece of American craft-beer history, alcohol optional.

2nd Shift Brewing became the first brewery on The Hill, St. Louis' storied Italian neighborhood, when founders Steve and Libby Crider moved their 2009-vintage operation from New Haven, Missouri into an 18,000-square-foot warehouse in December 2016. Alongside the craft beer, the taproom pours Busy Bees N/A, a house line of non-alcoholic drinks crafted and packaged at the brewery: hop water, root beer, grape soda made with real cane sugar, and tangerine or unflavored sparkling water. With Central State Sandwiches in-house, dogs welcome inside and on the patio, and kids allowed with adult supervision, it's a laid-back neighborhood hangout where, as the brewery puts it, there's 'an option for everyone.'

Hidden in the lower level of a circa-1927 building downtown, the Thaxton has been pouring Prohibition-style cocktails behind a password-protected door since 2007 — the weekly password drops on Instagram. Alongside the boozy classics, the menu carries a dedicated 'Temperance' section of zero-proof cocktails built on DHOS Gin Free, like the egg-white-frothed 20/20 Tim Vision and the Greek-yogurt-smoothed Razz But No Tazz, plus a Faux Blueberry Sage French 75 and NA beers including 4 Hands' non-alcoholic Incarnation IPA and Bud Zero. It's open Thursday through Saturday nights when not privately booked, with limited first-come seating — one of downtown St. Louis's most distinctive date-night rooms.

Hidden Gem is St. Louis's disco dive bar: roughly 300 disco balls, a blush-pink glitter-flecked bar, karaoke and trivia nights, and weekend dance parties in Midtown, from Golden Gems founders (and sisters) Amanda Helman and Susan Logsdon. The drink menu was built to be inclusive from day one, and a dedicated Spirit Free section runs year-round — the Nah-Hito, a choose-your-own-flavor Spirit Free Moscow Mule running from strawberry to lavender to jalapeño, and The Apple's Cider — alongside WellBeing Golden Wheat from St. Louis's own alcohol-free brewery and Mighty Kind CBD seltzer. Every January the 21-plus bar goes further with an exclusive Dry January menu.

Webster Groves finally has a destination cocktail bar, and it takes zero-proof drinkers seriously. Opened in November 2024 by Matt and Jess Longueville — the couple behind cocktail-catering company STL Barkeep and The Vandy — Off Elm is a walk-in-only, mid-century-modern room on Big Bend Boulevard. The printed menu carries a dedicated Non Alcoholic section: Blood For The Blood God layers zero-proof rum with blood orange, lime, orgeat, and bitters, while the Crimson Gimlet pairs zero-proof gin with red wine syrup and lime. Gruvi NA lager and Best Day NA kölsch anchor the beer list, and the menu promises most classic cocktails can be made non-alcoholic.

A DeMun-neighborhood fixture for more than two decades, Sasha's Wine Bar anchors a leafy Clayton block with a cellar of more than 4,200 bottles and a wine list curated by sommelier Denise Mueller. The zero-proof corner of that list is quietly excellent for a classic wine bar: NoZeco sparkling brut poured by the glass, Giesen alcohol-removed Sauvignon Blanc, and a trio of Leitz cans spanning sparkling Riesling, sparkling rosé, and Zero Point Five Pinot Noir. A dedicated N/A Cocktails section adds a house alcohol-free spritz, the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, and Parch's Desert Margarita, while Athletic Brewing and Best Day cover non-alcoholic beer.
