The Lincoln is a corner pub on Cardigan Street in Carlton, a Critic's Pick in The Age Good Food Guide, and its drinks list prints a ZERO ALC. section beside the wine and cocktails rather than burying soft drinks at the back. The four house builds are made, not poured: elderflower soda with lime and mint; a fizzy spiced pineapple with chamomile, honey and lemon; a Wild Mother raspberry shrub cut with cider vinegar and soda; and yuzu and peach tea with soda and lemon, all at A$10. A Gruppetto L'aperitivo non-alcoholic Veneziano spritz covers the aperitivo hour. Six alcohol-free tinnies under 0.5% round it out - Heaps Normal XPA, Guinness 0.0, Carlton Zero, Hiatus, Drivers lager and Willie Smith's non-alcoholic apple cider.

A two-level Footscray institution that pairs a proper walk-in bottle shop downstairs with a bar upstairs, both taking non-alcoholic drinks seriously. The bottle shop stocks a genuine zero-proof range across beer, wine and spirits alongside the natural wine and wild-fermented beer it's known for, so you can walk in and buy alcohol-free by the bottle. Confirmed non-alcoholic stock has included Garage Project's Tiny non-alc Stout and IPA and Dr Lo non-alcoholic sparkling, plus house-made non-alcoholic options poured in the bar. NoLo Life rates its no/low range a 4 out of 5. A Footscray bar with a full bottle shop downstairs, run by two operators who track new alcohol-free releases closely enough to have supplied a national non-alcoholic guide with its first NA beer.

Supernormal is Andrew McConnell's modern-Asian dining room on Flinders Lane, and its cocktail card gives alcohol-free drinks a printed section of their own rather than an afterthought at the bottom. Five house builds cover the range: Plum & Petal on passionfruit husk, plum and basil soda; Matsurika on jasmine, apple and lemon verbena; a seasonal soda of tamarind, bay leaf and Vermont maple; Mockingbird with grapefruit sherbet and lime; and Tea Totaler, chamomile, jasmine and ginger, at A$12 the cheapest considered drink in the room. Behind them sit alcohol-free and low-ABV beers from Bridge Road and Hop Nation, five de-alcoholised wines including Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero and Kolonne Null sparkling rose, and a reserve tea list poured with the same seriousness as the wine.

Runner Up is a hidden rooftop bar and garden tucked above the Collingwood Yards creative precinct, reached via a small terrace and elevator off Johnston St. Alongside its cocktails it keeps a genuine no/low line-up: Heaps Normal XPA 0% and Drivers Non-Alc Lager on tap-style pours, NON7 Stewed Cherry & Coffee, a Lyre's Italian non-alcoholic spritz, and a rotating set of house mocktails. It's a relaxed, plant-strewn perch with 270-degree views over Melbourne's inner north.

Harley & Rose is a wood-fired pizzeria, natural wine bar and bottle shop on Barkly Street in West Footscray, and its drinks list carries both a MOCKTAILS heading and a separate ZERO PROOF shelf. The three house mocktails are made from scratch: a Lemon Leaf Sour on house-made lemon leaf cordial and lemongrass; a Pine-Lime Splice of apricot, pineapple, lime and falernum; and a non-alcoholic mulled wine on house-made spiced syrup, which is a genuinely unusual thing to find in a suburban dining room. The zero-proof bottles cover the categories properly - Heaps Normal lager, Heaps Normal High Hopes prosecco, a zero-alcohol Squealing Pig sauvignon blanc, and Altina's Pepperberry shiraz, an Australian de-alcoholised red made in Canberra.

NOMAD is the Melbourne outpost of the Sydney Mediterranean restaurant, built into the lower ground floor of the Adelphi Hotel on Flinders Lane around a wood-fired oven. Its bar menu prints NON-ALCOHOLIC COCKTAILS as its own heading, and the four drinks under it are built rather than poured: a fresh yuzu lemonade on Ito-Farm juice and cane sugar; a Melon Cooler with non-alcoholic gin, honeydew, cucumber, verjus and tonic; a Picante of grapefruit, chilli, holy basil, rose and guindilla brine; and Herb Garden on Lyre's Italian Orange with lemon myrtle verjus, honey, rosemary, chamomile and vanilla. A WINE, BEER & SPIRIT ALTERNATIVES block follows, running NON #1, Heaps Normal lager, honey kombucha and both Four Pillars Bandwagon zero-proof gins.

Bridge Road Brewers' 350-seat Melbourne brewery and dining hall is one of the rare beer venues where the alcohol-free option is brewed in-house rather than bought in. The Beechworth brewery, founded by Ben and Maria Kraus in 2005, brews its own sub-0.5% ABV 'Free Time' range - a hazy pale hopped with Citra, Simcoe and Enigma, plus a Hazy IPA and an Alc-Free Stout - and pours it on tap alongside its full-strength lineup across 30 tap lines. For a working craft brewery, having a genuine house AF beer line on the pour list makes the zero-proof choice a real one, not an afterthought.

Teller is an all-day bar and eatery set inside a converted 1918 bank on Lygon Street in Brunswick East, and it carries one of Melbourne's deeper no-and-low drinks lists. The zero-proof menu runs five named mocktails built on real NA spirits - 'Rumour Has It' with Brunswick Aces Sapiir Diamonds gin, yuzu and pomegranate, and 'The Spritz You Miss' built on Lyre's Italian Spritz - alongside NA beers (Heaps Normal Quiet XPA, Guinness 0.0, Blackman's Zero, Capital Pacific Ale) and alcohol-free wines from Altina, Leitz and NON. NoLo Life rates its alcohol-free range five stars. The East Brunswick beer garden runs a non-alcoholic list that keeps going — beer, cocktails and wine all available alcohol-free.

How we know a Melbourne bar has NA beer
Three kinds of evidence put a venue on this page, and each card says which. The strongest is a menu we've read: the exact beers, the price where the menu prints one, and the date we confirmed it. Next are breweries — a brewery is in this directory because it pours non-alcoholic beer, often its own. Last are venues whose own menu or copy names a specific NA brand they carry. Nothing here is inferred from a review or a vague “great NA selection”.
“Non-alcoholic” is a legal band, not a promise of zero: under 0.5% ABV in the US, with “alcohol-free” reserved for 0.0%. The big lagers (Heineken 0.0, Guinness 0.0) are labeled 0.0%; most craft NA beers sit somewhere under 0.5%. We name the brand wherever the venue does so you can check the label that matters to you.
Draft NA beer is spreading but still uncommon, so we never assume it. A pour is marked “on draft” only when the venue's menu says tap or draft; everything else should be read as cans or bottles.
Frequently asked about non-alcoholic beer in Melbourne
We've verified 8 places in Melbourne with non-alcoholic beer: The Lincoln, Mr West Bar & Bottle Shop, Supernormal and more below. 6 list it on a menu we've read line by line; the rest are breweries, or venues that name a specific NA beer brand they carry. Every listing shows when we last checked.
Usually not quite. In the US, beer labeled "non-alcoholic" must be under 0.5% ABV — a trace level also found in some ripe fruit and kombucha — while "alcohol-free" means 0.0%. Most craft NA beers (Athletic, Best Day, Untitled Art) sit between 0.0% and 0.5%; Heineken 0.0 and Guinness 0.0 are labeled 0.0%. Rules differ abroad: in the UK "alcohol-free" is 0.05% or under and "de-alcoholised" up to 0.5%. If you avoid alcohol entirely, look for a 0.0% label — we name the brand wherever the venue does, so you can check.
Draft NA beer is still the exception: most bars serve it in cans or bottles, and that is what to expect. We flag "on draft" only when a venue's own menu says tap or draft — none of the current Melbourne listings has a menu-confirmed draft pour yet. If a listing doesn't say draft, assume packaged.
On the Melbourne menus and listings we've verified, the most-carried brands are Guinness 0.0 (3 venues). Each brand on this page links to everywhere else it is poured.
Across 11 printed prices on 5 Melbourne menus, the median non-alcoholic beer is A$11 (range A$7–A$14). Those are the venues' own menu prices, not estimates, and each carries the date its menu was last confirmed.
