Non-Alcoholic Spirits
Non-alcoholic spirits are the backbone of a serious zero-proof cocktail program. Rather than imitate a soda, they recreate the aroma, bite, and structure of gin, whiskey, agave, or an Italian aperitif so a Negroni or margarita actually reads as a cocktail.
Some are distilled from botanicals; others build flavor from essences and extracts. Most are near 0.0% ABV. Here are the NA spirit brands we track and the bars putting them to work.

1833 Craft
Sugar House
Salt Lake City's dedicated non-alcoholic speakeasy, opened in December 2024 inside a restored century-old Sugar House home known as The Eclipse House and run by sibling team Matthew and Kelly LaPlante. The entire menu is zero-proof — "0% Alcohol, 100% Heart" — built by co-owner and lead bartender Matthew, a former Salt Lake Tribune reporter who quit drinking but never left bar culture, with his sister Kelly, a designer, styling the room as a forest-green, 1920s-inspired lounge. The duo have developed 50-plus craft NA cocktails on premium spirits like Lyre's, Dhōs, Trejo's and Kentucky 74, finished with herbs from their own basement hydroponic garden. The name nods to 1833, the year of the Latter-day Saint "Word of Wisdom," and because nothing on the menu contains alcohol, no ID is required — a genuine cocktail experience for people in recovery, designated drivers, never-drinkers, and the sober-curious.
Bar None
West Loop
Bar None is a zero-proof evening bar in Chicago's West Loop, running Friday to Sunday from 5pm to 11pm inside Froth, the coffee cafe in the lobby of The Duncan at 1515 W Monroe St. It launched on 28 February 2026 from Heritage Hospitality Group, the team behind Froth, with beverage director Luke Nevin-Gattle (previously Bunker and Larry's). Every cocktail is genuinely alcohol-free, built on real NA spirits at $13 — a St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, an espresso martini with Ritual rum alternative and Pathfinder, Good Vibrations with Ritual gin alternative and Giffard elderflower, a spicy margarita with Ritual agave and Lyre's Italian orange, and a Gold Rush — alongside nine non-alcoholic beers and ciders at $6 and Leitz Eins Zwei Zero wines at $9. IMPORTANT: the venue brands itself a THC-integrated sober lounge. Any cocktail can be upgraded with a 2.5mg THC microdose for $4, and it sells 5mg THC seltzers at $9. The alcohol-free drinks stand on their own, but anyone avoiding all intoxicants should order without the upgrade and skip the seltzers.
Bar Palmina
Fishtown
Bar Palmina is Philadelphia's first fully zero-proof cocktail bar, where everything served — down to the bitters — is alcohol-free. It opened in Fishtown in 2024, founded by Nikki Graziano, who built the bar after a 2022 liver transplant prompted by alcohol-related liver failure and her subsequent path to sobriety. The bar is named for her Italian-American grandmother, Palmina. The menu runs about 22 signature and classic non-alcoholic cocktails alongside 11 NA wines and proxies and 7 NA beers, with house-made and from-scratch infusions throughout. Named drinks include the Yuzu Negroni, D'Argento (rice-washed white tea, cucumber, juniper, yuzu), The Lifesaver (lemongrass, ginger, coconut), and the Limonhattan. The living-room-style lounge also screens soccer matches. It was named Philadelphia Magazine's Best Non-Alcoholic Bar in 2025.
Bar Pigalle
Brush Park
Bar Pigalle is a French-leaning cocktail bar in Detroit's Brush Park neighborhood with a dedicated, printed Non-Alcoholic cocktail section on its summer 2026 menu.
Beyond Proof
Jamaica Plain
Beyond Proof is a fully alcohol-free craft cocktail bar at 597 Centre Street in Jamaica Plain, opened in April 2026 by Krista Kranyak, who converted her own long-running restaurant Ten Tables into what is widely reported as Boston's first zero-proof bar. Every drink is built at 0% ABV and the list is organised into sections headed Florals, Groundings, Rewritten Classics, Awakenings and Simple Sips, with straight $9 pours of zero-proof tequila, gin, vodka, bourbon and mezcal for guests who want something plainer. The kitchen serves a Lebanese and Mediterranean mezze menu of hummus boards, fire-roasted carrots, saffron tahdig bites, knafeh and slow-cooked pots. One drink, the Settle, is made with kava, a psychoactive root, which the bar names openly on the menu.
Beyond the Bar Bottle Shop
Core District, Downtown Richardson
Beyond the Bar is DFW's first alcohol-free bottle shop and dry bar, and by its own account the only one in Texas — a zero-proof shop and tasting room in a 1958 mid-century building in Richardson's Core District. The range runs past 280 products, from Athletic, Seedlip, Lyre's and Ritual to Almave, Ghia, Pathfinder and De Soi, alongside dealcoholised wines and functional drinks. The bar pours its own builds, including the Italian Spritz that won the Dallas Observer's Best Mocktail award, and the room hosts tastings and zero-proof cocktail classes.
Binge Bar
H Street Corridor (Atlas District)
DC's first fully alcohol-free bar, pairing zero-proof cocktails and craft NA drinks with a Filipino bistro and events space on H Street NE.
Cheeky & Dry
Phinney Ridge
Cheeky & Dry is Seattle's first and only fully alcohol-free bottle shop, a 750-square-foot family-owned store at 6120 Phinney Ave N opened in November 2023 by Kirstin and Yura Vracko. Kirstin started it after her husband went to rehab for alcohol use and she stopped drinking in solidarity with him, looking for products that would carry her through the ritual of a drink at night — she has said she built the shop she wished existed. Its own rule is absolute: every bottle is 0.5% ABV or less. The catalogue runs to roughly 250 products across non-alcoholic spirits (gin, whiskey, agave, aperitivo), wines still and sparkling, beers, ready-to-drink cocktails, mixers and bitters, with brands including Pathfinder, Three Spirit, Little Saints, Parch, Aplos, Free Spirits, Leilo and Opius. There is a counter for tasting samples before you buy. NOTE FOR ANYONE AVOIDING ALL INTOXICANTS: we checked the full catalogue and found no THC at all, but it does stock kava products, one kava-and-kratom elixir, and one CBD coffee at 25mg per serving.
Coltivare
The Heights
A garden-driven Italian restaurant in Houston's Heights neighborhood from chef Ryan Pera and Agricole Hospitality, Coltivare pairs its rustic, Gulf Coast-inflected Italian cooking with an award-winning "Zero Proof Cocktails" menu built on Houston-made Cut Above spirits, Lyre's, and Seedlip, plus non-alcoholic beer and wine.
Frequently asked
A non-alcoholic spirit is a zero- or near-zero-proof liquid designed to stand in for gin, whiskey, rum, tequila, or an aperitif in a cocktail. It delivers botanical aroma and a "spirit-like" bite without the alcohol, so it mixes rather than being sipped neat like a soda.
The good ones capture the aromatics and a peppery or bitter "burn" that signals a spirit, even though the alcohol is gone. They shine in a built cocktail with citrus, bitters, and mixers more than poured straight. See each brand page for tasting notes.
Yes — that's the point. Many of the cocktail bars in our directory build named zero-proof drinks on these spirits. Browse the venues that carry each brand below, or see our NA cocktail bar guides by city.
