Best Sober Date Night Spots in Seattle
Seattle has one of the deepest non-alcoholic scenes on the West Coast, anchored by Cheeky & Dry — the city's first fully alcohol-free bottle shop, in Phinney Ridge — and Rosette, a worker-owned Rainier Beach lounge built around zero- and low-proof drinks. Serious zero-proof menus run across the city's best cocktail bars, from Rob Roy in Belltown (whose sober owner curates the NA list) to Life on Mars and Inside Passage on Capitol Hill, Stampede in Fremont, and Renée Erickson's Deep Dive in South Lake Union, while Fremont Brewing pours what's billed as Seattle's first craft non-alcoholic beer. For a date, the venues below balance a real NA program with an atmosphere that actually works for talking to someone.
