Butterjoint is a bar and restaurant at 208 North Craig Street in North Oakland, serving Pittsburgh comfort food and French bistro classics. It opened next door to Legume in late 2012 under Trevett and Sarah Hooper, and absorbed that restaurant's space when Legume closed for good in February 2020; the Hoopers sold the business in November 2023 to George Austin, who had been their executive chef since 2021 and still runs it. Its non-alcoholic drinks sit under a menu heading called "Hold the Booze" and run across all three lists. There is one house zero-proof cocktail at a time, currently the Concrete Jungle bird ($12) built on house-made non-alcoholic rum and non-alcoholic Campari with pineapple, lime, cinnamon and jalapeño; Leitz sparkling Riesling is poured as the non-alcoholic wine ($10); and the beer list carries Guinness Zero, Bitburger Premium Pils and an Aslin blackberry-and-blueberry sour at $6 a can. The cocktail slot rotates several times a year, so the name changes even though the section does not.

Bar Botanico is a plant-filled Lawrenceville cocktail bar with a strong zero-proof lineup built on NA spirits. Signature mocktails include the Cut Above Mezcal Sour (Cut Above NA mezcal, coconut water, lapsang, jalapeno, lemon, vegan foamer), a Seedlip Highball and a Seedlip Espresso Martini, plus Red Ribbon seltzer and house-made lemonade and citrus soda. It is frequently cited among the city's best mocktail bars.

Con Alma is a live-jazz supper club at 613 Penn Avenue in Downtown Pittsburgh's Cultural District, serving a Latin-inspired menu alongside a genuine zero-proof programme. It began on Ellsworth Avenue in Shadyside in 2019 and opened Downtown in 2021; the Shadyside original has since closed, so this is now the only location — worth knowing, because much of the press about Con Alma describes the other room. Esquire named it one of the 27 best bars in America in 2021. It is owned by executive chef Josh Ross, music curator John Shannon and beverage director Aimee Marshall. The non-alcoholic section carries two built cocktails — an N/A Painkiller with coconut cream, orange, pineapple and nutmeg, and an N/A Mojito ($10) — plus Eins-Zwei-Zero 0% sparkling Riesling ($12), a Bravas non-alcoholic golden ale ($6) and a rotating NA beer. Unusually, it also sells zero-proof spirits by the pour at $8–$9: Free Spirits gin, bourbon and tequila, Dr Zero Zero AmarNo and Pentire Coastal Spritz. Budget for a per-person music charge during live sets ($10 Thursday and Sunday, $15 Friday and Saturday, $5 in the bar).

Grand Concourse is a large seafood restaurant in the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad Station at Station Square, a Beaux-Arts terminal listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and converted to a restaurant in 1978; it is known for its stained-glass vaulted ceiling, marble columns and riverfront views, and is now part of the Landry's group. Its drinks list splits the non-alcoholic offering across two separate sections, which is worth knowing before you order. "Free Spirited" holds two built cocktails at $13 on Clean Co non-alcoholic spirits — the Desert Rose (Clean Co tequila alternative, desert pear, sweet and sour, wild hibiscus salt) and Lavender & Bubbles (Clean Co gin alternative, lavender, lemon, honey, chamomile tea and Fre alcohol-free sparkling brut). "No Alcohol, No Problem" holds five simpler mixed drinks at $6 to $6.50 with refills at $2.50: Cucumber & Honey, Blood Orange & Sage, the Faux-Jito, the Peach Palmer and the Black Cherry Palmer. Business casual attire is recommended, and valet parking runs from 4pm.

Pusadee's Garden is a family-owned Thai restaurant on Butler Street in Upper Lawrenceville, named for Pusadee Tongdee and run by her daughters Watcharee and Bootsaba Tongdee with Michael Johnson. It closed in 2017 and reopened in January 2021 after a four-year ground-up rebuild by mossArchitects that won a Design Pittsburgh Honor Award — two renovated buildings joined by an entry arcade, a glass-box bar and an open kitchen with traditional Thai tao charcoal stoves, around a courtyard garden visible from most of the dining rooms. Chef Bootsaba "Gik" Tongdee was named a James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic in 2024. Its bar menu has a section headed "Spirit-Free/Non-Alcoholic" holding Give it a Chai ($8, chai, ginger, lemon), the house seltzer ($6, Thai basil, pink peppercorn, strawberry) and AL's Classic Lager, a non-alcoholic lager under 0.5% ABV ($7). The Pathfinder non-alcoholic amaro ($10) is also poured but is filed with the amari rather than in the spirit-free block, so ask for it by name. Reservations are Resy-only, tables cap at six, and there are no highchairs or boosters.

Shorty's GoodTimes Bar — until recently Shorty's Pins x Pints — is a 10,000 square foot "retro-tainment" bar at 353 North Shore Drive with a 5,000 square foot patio, opened in February 2022 in the old Tilted Kilt space across from Burgatory. The draw is the games: eight duckpin bowling lanes ($15 per person per hour before 4pm, $20 after), pinball, vintage arcade machines, shuffleboard, bocce, foosball, cornhole, bubble hockey and camp-style fire pits outside. NOTE: the taco menu it opened with is gone from this location — North Shore now serves American pub food (wings $14.50, smash burgers from $14, sammies from $14.50), and tacos survive only as a Tuesday special at the separate Waterfront site. Its non-alcoholic drinks are built on Seedlip and printed on the menu: the Fauxjito ($8), Espressno ($8), Don't Call Me Shirley ($7), the Mock-Arita in classic or strawberry ($6) and JayNO & Ginger ($6). All ages are welcome before 9pm; after 9pm on Friday and Saturday it is 21-and-over.

Two Frays Brewery is a Garfield craft brewery founded by husband-and-wife team Mike and Jen Onofray that brews its own non-alcoholic beer on-site — its first NA brew (2022) is billed as Pittsburgh's original non-alcoholic beer. At least a couple of its own 'Near Beer' pours are always on the menu, recently the Finicky Beast NA West Coast IPA and Fruity Pebbles NA fruited blonde on tap and in 4-packs, and on the first Monday of each month the taproom goes fully non-alcoholic for 'Mod Mondays' with the Pittsburgh Teetotal Initiative. It is a full brewery (not alcohol-free), so its regular craft lineup runs alongside the NA options.

Cinderlands Beer Company was founded in 2017 by two married couples — Jamie and Joanna Warden and Paul and Emily Schneider — and its Warehouse on Smallman Street in the Strip District is its largest site and main production centre: 17,500 square feet in an 1880 building, two 40-foot bars with sixteen draft lines, a built-in bocce court, dome hockey and shuffleboard, and a covered, heated second-floor patio. Its own non-alcoholic line is Hop Run, a 0.0% sparkling hop water brewed and canned in Pittsburgh that showcases Citra and Mosaic hops, sold as a 12oz can ($4) and used as the base of a small printed section called "Hop Run Mocktails": a Cranberry Lime Refresher and a Hop Run Mule, both $6. Food is smokehouse pub cooking — smoked wings ($12), pulled pork ($13), a jumbo pretzel ($15) — with a kids' menu. The taproom took a Great American Beer Festival gold medal in 2021.

East End Brewing Company was founded by Scott Smith in 2004 and has run its Larimer brewpub at 147 Julius Street since 2013, alongside a Mt Lebanon taproom and a seasonal pop-up garden in Chateau. It brews its own named non-alcoholic beer, Dry Hop, inspired by its flagship Big Hop American Ale, and the taproom also pours Barmy Soda — started by East End's own head brewer — plus hop water and non-alcoholic seltzers. Smith reads the shift as a pushback against the alcohol arms race, and describes what the brewpub has become rather than what he set out to build: he used to think they were a beer company, and while they are, they are a community gathering place that happens to make beer. Food is a rotating weekly Pizza of the Week with dips, salads, pretzels, breadsticks and soups; the menu is published only as an image. Its Big Hop Harvest Ale topped USA Today's 10Best readers' poll for best fall seasonal beer in both 2024 and 2025. Closed Mondays; the kitchen shuts an hour before the bar.

Jackworth is Pennsylvania's first modern ginger beer brewery, at 6615 Hamilton Avenue on the edge of Larimer, opened to the public in May 2024 by Jackworth Smith — that is his real name — who grew up in his father's East End restaurant, was tending bar at seventeen, and first brewed these recipes at home on a half-barrel system in 2013. It brews naturally fermented ginger beer in both alcoholic versions (a 5% ABV Original and a Sorrel) and a canned zero-proof line printed at 0.0%: Classic (organic Peruvian ginger, lime, water, cane sugar), Spicy (the same with habanero), Honey Lavender and Dry. Because the base is genuinely brewed rather than mixed from syrup, the alcohol-free version keeps the bite and body most zero-proof substitutes lack. The bar builds zero-proof cocktails on it too — a Texas Remedy, a Blood in the River and a Peaches for CJ have all featured — though the bar menu cannot be read online, so treat those names as indicative. The room is salvage-built: a bar of old fencing, bank marble and gold-leaf mansion windows.

The Commoner is the American-tavern restaurant and bar inside the Kimpton Hotel Monaco at 620 William Penn Place in Downtown Pittsburgh, and the hotel's own site confirms it as the operating restaurant there. Its zero-proof programme is led by Kyle Turner, a sober bartender, who designs a rotating line-up of non-alcoholic cocktails built on the serious bottles — Seedlip, Pathfinder, Lyre's and Trejo's. Drinks including a Pandan Express, The Wandering Path, a Machete and an N/Aperol Spritz have appeared on the list. IMPORTANT PRACTICAL NOTE: The Commoner publishes its food menus online but not its cocktail list, so the current zero-proof line-up cannot be checked in advance and we could not confirm which of those drinks is pouring today — the programme is real and well regarded, but the specific drink is a question for the bar. The bar runs later than the kitchen, to 11pm most nights and midnight on Friday and Saturday, with a seasonal biergarten. Do not confuse it with The Commoner Corner, a small separate to-go concept at the same building that has closed. Parties of eight or more carry an automatic 20% gratuity.

How we know a Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh
We've verified 11 places in Pittsburgh with non-alcoholic beer: Butterjoint, Bar Botanico, Con Alma 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 Pittsburgh listings has a menu-confirmed draft pour yet. If a listing doesn't say draft, assume packaged.
On the Pittsburgh menus and listings we've verified, the most-carried brands are Athletic Brewing (1 venue), Guinness 0.0 (1 venue), Heineken 0.0 (1 venue). Each brand on this page links to everywhere else it is poured.
