Public Records is a plant-based restaurant, cocktail bar, and hi-fi music venue in Gowanus, Brooklyn, opened in April 2019 by musician Francis Harris, designer Shane Davis, and hospitality director Erik VanderWal. It occupies a 1910s building that served as the ASPCA's Brooklyn headquarters for decades, and the all-vegan kitchen nods to that history. The campus spans several spaces, including The Atrium restaurant-lounge, where the bar program runs alongside an extensive cocktail list. The Atrium menu carries a dedicated "Zero-Proof" section of fully built spirit-free cocktails rather than an afterthought mocktail or two. Current named options include the Palomar (NA mezcal, elderflower cordial, spiced grapefruit shrub, lemon balm, soda), Not For Rita (NA agave spirit, spiced grapefruit shrub, lime, agave, damiana), and Press For Time (coffee, cinnamon-lapsang-sorghum syrup, vanilla-coconut cream whip, reishi, orange), plus housemade sodas.

The Penrose calls itself the Upper East Local, and it backs that up with something almost no neighbourhood gastropub bothers with: a properly built list of eleven named non-alcoholic cocktails, published alongside the alcoholic ones rather than buried. Express Yourself is its espresso martini, Garden Tonic its zero-proof G&T, Peach Fuzz a boozeless bellini, Good Vibrations a no-alcohol negroni sbagliato, and Sunday Kinda Love a virgin bloody mary; there is also Lyre's non-alcoholic prosecco by the glass, plus NA beer. It serves alcohol too — this is a full bar, not an alcohol-free room — but it opens at 11:30am and runs to 4am daily, which makes it the most usefully late NA list in upper Manhattan.

Saint Eve's is a small, intimate cocktail bar on 12th Street in Park Slope, shortlisted at the inaugural NYC's Best Bars for NA Awards. It is deliberately tiny — the bar states it cannot take parties of six or more — which makes it the opposite of a destination and rather good as a place to sit and talk. It serves alcohol and does not publish a named non-alcoholic list, so the zero-proof drinking here rests on the bartender rather than on a printed menu; ask, and expect something built rather than poured. Open 5pm until close, seven nights. Mockingbird, South Brooklyn's dedicated alcohol-free bar, is a short walk away for anyone who wants a room with no alcohol in it.

Clemente Bar opened in October 2024 on the second floor of chef Daniel Humm's three-Michelin-star Eleven Madison Park, in NoMad/Flatiron at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 24th Street. It is a collaboration with — and named for — Italian artist Francesco Clemente, whose original murals swirl through the room and around the back bar. The bar comprises a 38-seat Lounge serving à la carte food and drinks, plus a nine-seat Studio offering a five-course tasting with cocktail pairings. Like EMP, the food is fully plant-based. The beverage program, overseen by EMP's drinks team, includes a dedicated menu of "soft cocktails" and a fully non-alcoholic pairing option available with the Studio tasting menu. Named zero-proof drinks include the Proxy Fizz (Seedlip Garden, cucumber, green apple, amazake) and a non-alcoholic Kalimotxo. Clemente Bar entered North America's 50 Best Bars at No. 11 in 2025, winning the Best New Opening Award, and ranked No. 15 in 2026.

The Portrait Bar sits inside The Fifth Avenue Hotel in NoMad, a maximalist room hung with portraiture that reads as considered rather than merely lavish. It won its category at the inaugural NYC's Best Bars for NA Awards, where the judges singled out an intimate maximalist setting paired with a confident non-alcoholic list — confident being the operative word, since hotel bars are where zero-proof menus most often collapse into a token pair of juices. It serves alcohol too. Hours are unusually generous for a room of this quality: 5pm to 1am through the week and to 2am on Friday and Saturday, seven days.

Kosmic Community Anti Bar & Coffee Shop is a fully alcohol-free "anti bar" and cafe that opened in May 2024 in the former Mug & Cup space at 115 Avenue C in the East Village. It was founded by owner and East Village resident James Lockwood along with partners Tyler Garrett and Apostolos Filippas, who built it as a judgment-free social space for people with any relationship to sobriety. The owners are, in their words, "not big on mocktails," instead pouring a full coffee bar plus house-made sodas, herbal teas, fruit presses, and kava. The drink list also carries craft NA beer from Mash Gang, Athletic Brewing, and Go Brewing. The space keeps late hours — open until 2am Fridays and Saturdays — and features a retro lounge with a vintage phone booth and a back garden, hosting community events and live programming.

How we know a New York 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 York
We've verified 9 places in New York with non-alcoholic beer: Public Records, No More Cafe, The Penrose 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 New York listings has a menu-confirmed draft pour yet. If a listing doesn't say draft, assume packaged.
On the New York menus and listings we've verified, the most-carried brands are Athletic Brewing (5 venues), Go Brewing (1 venue), Guinness 0.0 (1 venue). Each brand on this page links to everywhere else it is poured.
