Urban South Brewery, founded in 2016 by Jacob Landry and Kyle Huling, is the largest brewery by volume in New Orleans, anchoring a family-friendly taproom on Tchoupitoulas Street in the Lower Garden District. 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 that uses the same Mosaic, Citra, and Centennial hops as the flagship Holy Roller (only the yeast changes so it produces no meaningful alcohol), and N.A. Charming Wit. The brewery developed the NA Holy Roller over about two years and released it around New Year 2024 for Dry January participants, year-round sober drinkers, and designated drivers. The taproom also serves smash burgers.

Palm&Pine is a French Quarter restaurant at the edge of Rampart Street, opened in July 2019 by chef/owners and partners Amarys Koenig Herndon and Jordan Herndon, both James Beard Best Chef: South semifinalists. The kitchen draws on Louisiana, the broader South, and "South of That" — the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. The Pine Bar builds cocktails around agave and cane spirits, but its standout for non-drinkers is a dedicated, named spirit-free section called "Kitten Club," treated as seriously as the full bar. The current zero-proof list leans on Ritual and Pathfinder non-alcoholic spirits: the Heartfruit Tonic (Ritual NA Gin, strawberry, lime, tonic) and the Rosella Refresher (Pathfinder, hibiscus, lemon), plus St. Buena Vida NA sparkling and Untitled Art NA beer. The section rotates seasonally and has run as a Dry January feature.

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 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 and Creole cooking with French and Italian technique. The bar keeps a standing, named non-alcoholic section on both its dinner and brunch menus: the Sorrel Tea (house-made spiced hibiscus, ginger, lavender, lime), the Tell Tale Heart (strawberry balsamic shrub, tonic), and a brunch Garden Party built on Seedlip Garden, with canned Athletic Brewing NA IPA and a kombucha-style tea rounding it out. Compton won the 2018 James Beard Best Chef: South; the restaurant is Michelin-recommended.

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 and James Beard Award-winning Mediterranean cooking, it opened in 2018 and earned a 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand. Its beverage program includes a deliberate non-alcoholic offering built around gazoz — a sparkling Turkish-style soda made in house with fresh fruit, house syrups, and seltzer, with flavors that rotate seasonally (recent examples include watermelon basil, cucumber agave, and pineapple shrub). The menu also stocks Athletic Brewing's Upside Dawn non-alcoholic beer, and the zero-proof drinks feature during the Wednesday–Friday happy hour.

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.
