Dry January FAQ
Dry January is the annual challenge of going alcohol-free for the month of January. It started as a UK public-health campaign in 2013 and has become a global reset that millions take part in — a chance to feel better, sleep better, and reconsider your relationship with alcohol, with no commitment beyond the month.
Plenty of places. We list 1514 verified bars, restaurants, and shops with real non-alcoholic programs across 70 cities in the U.S. and beyond — from dedicated alcohol-free bars to cocktail bars with full zero-proof menus. Pick your city below to find where to go near you.
Look for craft mocktails and zero-proof cocktails (made with non-alcoholic spirits, fresh juices, and house syrups), non-alcoholic beer, or 0% wine and apéritifs. Good bars now treat these as a real menu, not a Shirley Temple afterthought. See our non-alcoholic drinks guide for what to try.
No. Dedicated alcohol-free bars are great if your city has one, but many ordinary cocktail bars and restaurants now run serious non-alcoholic programs — so you can meet friends anywhere and still get a genuinely good drink. Each venue we list shows an NA Program Strength rating so you know what to expect.
Absolutely, and the scene supports it year-round. US drinking is at a record low and the non-alcoholic category keeps growing, so the venues here are open and pouring in February and beyond, not just in January.
