Herbst Eatery & Farm Stand is a farm-sourced restaurant and market on Raymond Avenue in Saint Anthony Park, opened in 2023 by Angie and Jorg Pierach and supplied by a co-op of young Driftless-area farmers. Its drinks list is structured unusually and to the benefit of anyone not drinking: cocktails are organised first by flavour profile — mineral, bitter, funky, earthy, plus a seasonal slot — and then by potency, with a full-proof, a low-proof and a no-proof version of each. The no-proof builds are not the alcoholic drink minus the alcohol; they are separate recipes engineered to land on the same flavour, so the earthy no-proof reaches for sparkling green and lapsang teas where the full-proof uses mezcal.

Colita is a Tex-Oaxacan restaurant from chef Daniel del Prado's DDP Restaurant Group (the Martina and Bar La Grassa team), open since October 2018 in a converted former gas station at 54th & Penn in southwest Minneapolis's Armatage neighborhood. Named after del Prado's first dog, it pairs Oaxacan-influenced barbecue, creative tacos, and mole-driven dishes with a well-regarded bar program in a fully gluten-free kitchen. The drinks menu carries a dedicated "Zero Proof" section of four house-made, $10 non-alcoholic cocktails built with the same care as its alcoholic list — fruit-, herb-, and tea-forward sodas finished with carbonation. Named pours include the rose-and-raspberry Rosas, the citrus-and-lychee Naranjitas, a cinnamon coconut-milk Horchata, and the honey-sarsaparilla 3leche Miele. The program is a real, named NA list but a focused one — a strong complement to the meal rather than a full standalone bar menu.

Dark Horse Bar & Eatery is a Lowertown, St. Paul neighborhood bar and restaurant that spent a decade serving the district before closing in February 2025 and reopening in July 2025 under new ownership. The relaunch is run by chef Shane Oporto in the kitchen and Sarah McDonough on the floor, backed by Eclective, the hospitality group behind Saint Paul Brewing and Can Can Wonderland. The reopened menu pairs elevated bar food — a signature burger, pizzas — with a cocktail list that gives equal attention to its non-alcoholic side. A dedicated "Zero Proof" menu section ($9 each) features house-made drinks: a Ginger Beer built on house ginger syrup, cayenne, and soda; a Squirt with house grapefruit cordial and soda; and a lightly fermented Tepache of pineapple, piloncillo, and cinnamon. Athletic Brewing non-alcoholic beers (Free Wave, Upside Dawn) are also stocked.

Dario is an Italian restaurant with global influences that opened in Minneapolis's North Loop in early 2024, led by chef Joe Rolle and beverage director Stephen Rowe. Rowe spent nearly a decade as a founding team member of the acclaimed Marvel Bar, and at Dario he runs a dedicated spirit-free program built to stand alongside the full-proof cocktails rather than as an afterthought — the restaurant calls it "a groundbreaking spirit-free offering that mirrors the depth and creativity of the full-proof cocktails." The zero-proof list spans bitters-forward and botanical builds such as the New Age Outlaw (Dhos Blanco, Spritz del Conte, lime), No. 75 (ISH London Botanical, Oddbird Blanc de Blanc, lemon), Botanical & Tonic, and the Naw-groni. The kitchen also makes house sodas, pours an Athletic Brewing NA golden ale, and keeps a de-alcoholized wine list. Known for handmade pastas.

Martina is the Linden Hills restaurant that launched Daniel del Prado as a Twin Cities restaurateur, an Argentinian-Italian room on Upton Avenue with a bar programme that has been taken seriously since Marco Zappia set it up in 2018. Its non-alcoholic cocktails are listed on the same menu as the full-strength ones at $12 and rotate with the seasons: a Tropical on passion fruit, mango and lime with carbonation; an Apollo built on a non-alcoholic berry amaro with masala chai and lime; and a Lemongrass with ginger, galangal and lemon verbena. ISH sparkling rose and Gruvi's Juicy Dayz non-alcoholic IPA round out the zero-proof options.

Porzana is Daniel del Prado's Argentinian wood-fire steakhouse in the North Loop, occupying the former Bachelor Farmer space on North 1st Street. It keeps one of the deepest standing spirit-free lists in the city: six non-alcoholic drinks, five of them at $13, listed on the same cocktail menu as the full-strength ones rather than tucked away. The house builds are the Sanguino, with blood orange, white chocolate, rhubarb, elderflower, lime and sparkling tea, and the Serrata, with blackberry, hibiscus, beet, Greek yogurt and lemon. A tarragon and verde tea drink called T&T, two Copenhagen sparkling teas and a dealcoholised sparkling rose complete the section.

9 Mile Brewing Company is Bloomington's first brewery, located in a James Avenue South business park near the Mall of America in the southern Twin Cities metro. Beyond standard craft beer, the brewery has earned regional attention for actually brewing its own non-alcoholic sours in house, using its "house sour grist" — a rotating program that has included a Non-Alcoholic Peach Passionfruit Sour (peach and passion fruit, finished with Sabro hops) and a summer orange-mango release. Explore Minnesota featured the brewery for these NA sours, noting they retain a thick body and mouthfeel often lost in non-alcoholic beer. The current taproom NA lineup also carries Athletic Brewing non-alcoholic beers, J's Kombucha, and Northern Craft Soda, while a scratch kitchen, Creekside Kitchen, opened in March 2025. Because the in-house NA sours rotate seasonally, it's worth confirming the day's zero-proof options on arrival.

Spoon and Stable is the North Loop flagship of James Beard Award-winning chef/owner Gavin Kaysen, opened in 2014 inside a 1906 former horse stable. Backing came from mentors Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller, and the restaurant was a 2015 James Beard nominee for Best New Restaurant and Food & Wine's 2015 Restaurant of the Year. Its zero-proof offering is a genuine, on-menu program: the bar menu carries a dedicated "Spirit Free Libations" section of bar-crafted mocktails, attributed to bar manager Jessi Pollak. Current named pours include the Toasted Oak (pu'er tea, toasted oak, demerara, aromatic bitters), Solstice (blood orange aperitif, blueberry rooibos, lemon, cinnamon), and Café Negroni (Pathfinder hemp amaro, cold brew, blood orange, Floreale). The list rounds out with Oddbird sparkling rosé and non-alcoholic beers from Athletic, Bauhaus, and Heineken 0.0.

Summit Brewing has brewed in Saint Paul since 1986 and is the state's best-known independent brewery; its Ratskeller taproom sits at the brewery on Montreal Circle in the West Seventh district. Summit is one of very few Minnesota breweries producing its own non-alcoholic line: Nialas, launched in September 2022 and named after the Irish for nothing, in tribute to Summit's Irish head brewer. The range includes a non-alcoholic IPA — hop-forward, with toast and English-biscuit malt notes and apricot, tangerine and mixed-berry aroma — and a non-alcoholic Irish-style dark carrying espresso, chocolate and caramel, both under 0.5% ABV. The Ratskeller runs Wednesday through Sunday with a view into the brewhouse, on the bluff above the Mississippi rather than in a commercial strip.

Wooden Ship Brewing is a small neighbourhood brewery and fifty-seat taproom on West 44th Street in Linden Hills, with a garage door, big windows into the production floor, and a dog- and child-friendly room. All its beers are gluten-reduced. Its non-alcoholic offer is broader than most taprooms': a house hop water at 0.0% built on Centennial and Au Tropical hops, canned non-alcoholic beer from Untitled Art and Deschutes, and — the part worth knowing — specialty non-alcoholic cocktails including a shrub seltzer, a hibiscus margarita and a dill seltzer, each of which can be ordered at 0% rather than only in its alcoholic version.

Red Rabbit is an "uncomplicated, authentic Italian" restaurant — pizza, pasta, and oysters — owned by Luke Shimp, the restaurateur behind the Red Cow burger group. The original Red Rabbit opened in 2016 in Minneapolis's North Loop; this Summit Hill location debuted in October 2018 at 788 Grand Ave in the former Wild Onion space, and in 2023 the concept was named one of FSR Magazine's Top 50 Independent Restaurants. Beyond the food, Red Rabbit keeps a genuine "Spirit Free" section in its beverage book, so non-drinkers get more than soda. Named zero-proof options include a Spirit-Free Old Fashioned (Spiritless 74 NA bourbon, demerara, NA bitters), a Spirit-Free Martini (Abstinence NA gin), the Ginger Spritz, the canned Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher, and a bottled St. Agrestis Phony Negroni. Visit Saint Paul singles out the Grand Avenue location for its "sizable selection of liquor-free beverages."

Sidebar is the bar and brasserie in the back corner of Surdyk's Liquor and Cheese Shop on East Hennepin, the long-standing Northeast Minneapolis wine and cheese institution. It opened in September 2020 with chef Randall Prudden and runs a wine list drawn from the shop next door. Its non-alcoholic section is a properly built one rather than a footnote: four zero-proof drinks including two house builds — The Purple One, on a blueberry-poblano shrub with ginger, lime and grapefruit, and Mango Is Life — plus a Strawberry Spark made with Three Spirit's Livener, and a packaged list running from Leitz Zero Point Five pinot noir to Best Day's hazy IPA.

Tongue in Cheek is a long-running New American restaurant and bar on Payne Avenue on Saint Paul's East Side, known for a heavily vegan-friendly kitchen and a bar team that builds to order. Its non-alcoholic offering is listed as The Placebos, a set of zero-proof drinks spanning several flavour profiles that can also be ordered as a flight, and the bartenders will build a custom alcohol-free drink to a described flavour profile rather than pointing at a fixed list. The bar also makes beer cocktails that can be built non-alcoholic — the Passion of Cayenne, with passion fruit, cayenne and jalapeno salt, works on Athletic Brewing's Upside Dawn.

How we know a Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis
We've verified 13 places in Minneapolis with non-alcoholic beer: Herbst Eatery & Farm Stand, Colita, Dark Horse Bar & Eatery and more below. 8 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 Minneapolis listings has a menu-confirmed draft pour yet. If a listing doesn't say draft, assume packaged.
On the Minneapolis menus and listings we've verified, the most-carried brands are Athletic Brewing (5 venues), Go Brewing (2 venues), Best Day Brewing (1 venue). Each brand on this page links to everywhere else it is poured.
