Urban South Brewery, founded in 2016 by Jacob Landry and Kyle Huling, is the largest brewery by volume in New Orleans, anchoring a taproom on Tchoupitoulas Street in the Lower Garden District that welcomes families and hosts children's birthday parties. It was the first brewery in the city to brew a non-alcoholic version of its own beer. The NA program is built around two in-house 0.5% ABV brews: N.A. Holy Roller, a hazy IPA using the same Mosaic, Citra and Centennial hops as the flagship, and N.A. Charming Wit. PARENTS AND NON-DRINKERS SHOULD KNOW: the same beverage page also carries a "THC Beverages" section of nine hemp-derived THC seltzers at 5mg per can — Grapefruit, Black Cherry, Tangerine Ginger, Peach Spritz, Watermelon Spritz, NOLA Cola Classic, NOLA Cola Root Beer, Lemon Lavender and Lime — listed immediately above the "Non-Alcoholic" heading, with no warning or age-policy text published nearby. The two categories are labelled separately but sit side by side. The taproom serves smash burgers, with happy hour weekdays 3 to 6pm.

Palm&Pine is a French Quarter restaurant at 308 North Rampart Street, opened in 2019 by chef/owners and partners Amarys Koenig Herndon and Jordan Herndon, who were James Beard Best Chef: South semifinalists in both 2023 and 2024 and named Rising Star Chefs in 2022. The kitchen draws on Louisiana, the broader South and what they call "South of That" — the Caribbean and Mexico. Its non-alcoholic list has its own name, the Kitten Club, and appears as a titled section on both the dinner and brunch drinks menus. At dinner it runs the Rosella Refresher ($13) on Pathfinder non-alcoholic spirit with hibiscus, lemon and Mineragua; St. Buena Vida non-alcoholic sparkling chardonnay ($17 a glass, $56 a bottle); Parleaux sparkling hop water ($6); and Untitled Art American Gold non-alcoholic beer ($8). At brunch it swaps in a Holy Margarita! on Almave non-alcoholic agave spirit ($15) and a non-alcoholic michelada ($7). Closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A 20% gratuity is added to all checks.

The Bower is a seasonal, locally-sourced American restaurant and bar on Magazine Street in the Lower Garden District, opened in 2020 by Mark Latter of Latter Hospitality (the group behind Tujague's); an adjacent cocktail-focused Bower Bar followed in 2022. The kitchen and beverage programs are ingredient-driven, with menus shaped by produce, herbs, and flowers from Sugar Roots Farm. Under beverage director Mickey Mullins, the "field-to-glass" bar program extends to a dedicated non-alcoholic section, where house-made mocktails are built from the same fresh, garden-driven ingredients as the cocktail list rather than bottled zero-proof spirits. Current non-alcoholic offerings include Moody Judy (vanilla bean lemonade, butterfly pea flower), No-Loma (grapefruit, lime, soda), and Walk the Lime (sweet lime and coconut), all available at the daily happy hour.

Compère Lapin is the New Orleans flagship of James Beard Award-winning chef Nina Compton, opened in June 2015 inside The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery in the Warehouse District. Born and raised in St Lucia and a Top Chef runner-up, Compton melds Caribbean cooking with French and Italian technique; she won Best Chef: South in 2018 and was a Food & Wine Best New Chef in 2017. The name means "Brother Rabbit", a trickster figure from her St Lucian childhood. The restaurant was the first in New Orleans to win a Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Award for Best American Hotel Bar, and it made OpenTable's Top 100 Hotel Restaurants in America for 2025. Its drinks list carries a "Non-Alc and Mocktails" section: a house Sorrel Tea ($8) of spiced hibiscus with ginger, lavender and lime; Silly Songs With Larry ($8) with cucumber, ginger, sesame, rice vinegar, chilli and soda; Athletic Brewing's Run Wild non-alcoholic IPA ($7); and a Unified Ferments jasmine green tea ($10 a glass, $40 a bottle). Dinner nightly from 5.30pm.

Saba is chef Alon Shaya's modern Israeli restaurant on Magazine Street in Uptown New Orleans, the flagship of his Pomegranate Hospitality group (the name means "grandfather" in Hebrew). Known for blistered wood-fired pita baked steps from the table, it opened in 2018 and earned a 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand. IMPORTANT CORRECTION: Saba's gazoz — the sparkling Israeli soda it is best known for — is served alcoholic on the current menu. All three seasonal builds are $18 and contain spirits: strawberry lemon with bourbon, cucumber agave with tequila, and pineapple shrub with white rum. Do not order a gazoz assuming it is zero-proof. The genuinely non-alcoholic offering is narrower: Athletic Brewing's Upside Dawn ($6) is the only NA beer, and there is a carefully built coffee and tea list with Moroccan mint tea and a seasonal herbal tea ($10 each), an iced halva latte ($8), cold brew ($6) and a pot of coffee for two ($8). Dinner Wednesday to Sunday, brunch Friday to Sunday.

How we know a New Orleans 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 New Orleans
We've verified 5 places in New Orleans with non-alcoholic beer: Urban South Brewery, Palm&Pine, The Bower and more below. 3 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 New Orleans listings has a menu-confirmed draft pour yet. If a listing doesn't say draft, assume packaged.
On the New Orleans menus and listings we've verified, the most-carried brands are Athletic Brewing (2 venues), Untitled Art (1 venue). Each brand on this page links to everywhere else it is poured.
