Alley Cat Lounge is a basement cocktail bar reached from Broughton Lane, the service alley behind Savannah's main shopping street, in an 1870s brick cellar. Its menu is a newsprint broadsheet — the Alley Cat Rag — reissued in numbered editions with the whole list rewritten each time, and the bar's standing commitment is that whatever the edition, it carries a minimum of ten low- and no-alcohol cocktails alongside alcohol-free beer and cider. That is the deepest running alcohol-free selection of any licensed bar in the city. It is open from 4pm to 1am Monday through Thursday, to 2am on Friday and Saturday, and closed Sundays.
Hours: Mon-Thu 4pm-1am; Fri-Sat 4pm-2am; Sun closed

Water Witch Tiki is a 21-and-over tiki bar in the Starland District, a dark, densely decorated room on Bull Street that takes its rum programme seriously and applies the same thinking to the drinks without any. Its menu carries a standing Non-Alcoholic section of four builds at $8 to $9, made with the same house syrups, shrubs and proprietary bitters as everything else — chamomile and green cardamom, tamarind-mango-mint purée, blueberry shrub, a Sichuan-hibiscus bitters the bar makes itself. Three Athletic Brewing alcohol-free beers sit in the cans list at $7. It opens at 5pm midweek and 11am on Friday and Saturday, and closes on Sundays.
Order: Fountain of Youth — chamomile tea, green cardamom, sage, lemon, plant-based foam, grapefruit bitters · Tarmarindo — tamarind-mango-mint purée, coconut, toasted rice syrup, pineapple, lime, Thai bitters · Farkleberry — blueberry shrub, grapefruit, soda
Hours: Mon-Thu 5pm-12am; Fri-Sat 11am-1am; Sun closed

Bar Julian is the rooftop bar on top of Thompson Savannah in the Eastern Wharf development, the tallest roof in the city, looking straight down the Savannah River. Its cocktail list prints a section headed Booze-Free carrying four drinks between $12 and $14, all built on non-alcoholic spirits — a zero-proof agave, a zero-proof London dry, Lyre's cane spirit and a zero-proof aperitif — rather than assembled from juices. The kitchen is Mediterranean-leaning and shareable, and the bar keeps unusually long hours for Savannah, opening at 7am for coffee and running to 11pm, or midnight on Friday and Saturday.
Order: Perfect Timing — zero-proof agave spirit, acidified pineapple, agave, saline · Turning a Page — zero-proof London dry, clarified chai concentrate, raspberry, lemon · Caribbean Firewater — zero-proof aperitif, fermented fruit blend, citrus, tonic
Hours: Mon-Thu 7am-11pm; Fri-Sat 7am-12am; Sun 7am-11pm

Peregrin is the rooftop bar on top of the Perry Lane Hotel, an all-weather open-air lounge with a year-round pool, tropical planting and long views over the Historic District. Its drinks list carries a section headed simply MOCKTAILS, four drinks at a flat $12, and every one is built on a named non-alcoholic spirit rather than juice and syrup: Seedlip Garden and Grove, Lyre's alcohol-free brut and aperitivo, Giffard's non-alcoholic elderflower. The beer list adds Athletic Brewing golden ale and IPA at $8. It is open from 11am to 11pm daily, to midnight on Friday and Saturday, which makes it one of the few good zero-proof lists in Savannah available in daylight.
Order: Lilypad — Seedlip Garden, cucumber and mint simple, lemon, club soda · Sav Spirit — Giffard non-alcoholic elderflower, Lyre's NA brut, club soda · Azalea Spritz — Lyre's NA aperitivo, Lyre's NA brut, club soda
Hours: Mon-Thu 11am-11pm; Fri-Sat 11am-12am; Sun 11am-11pm

Repeal 33 is a bar and restaurant on Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, named for the amendment that ended Prohibition and built around an inventive cocktail programme run by beverage director Jim McCourt. Its non-alcoholic drinks are treated as part of that programme rather than as a fallback: Savannah's tourism board singles the room out specifically for them, describing four distinct builds that include one on a non-alcoholic botanical distillate with lemon and basil and another on an alcohol-free aperitif syrup with orange and soda. The kitchen runs dinner from 4pm every day, with weekend brunch from 11am on Saturday and Sunday.
Order: Peace in the Garden (NA: seedlip garden, lavender, earl grey, lime) · Yardstick For Lunatics (NA: strawberry shrub, orange, sprite) · Touch of Crey (NA: rosemary, honey, lemon, cranberry, ginger ale)
Hours: Mon-Thu 4pm-11pm; Fri 4pm-12am; Sat 11am-12am; Sun 11am-11pm
How this page decides what counts
Three facts, all verified, all required. The venue has to rate at least 4 of 5 for its non-alcoholic program — a fully alcohol-free room, or a licensed venue with a strong named zero-proof list, the same floor our Savannah sober bars page uses. It has to be somewhere you can sit, so bottle shops are out. And its hours have to run past midnight on at least one night, which is what makes this a nightlife page rather than a second copy of the sober bars list: at that cut a restaurant with a good zero-proof menu drops out, and the bars, lounges, kava bars and late coffeehouses remain.
“No alcohol served” is written on a card only when the venue's own verified description says so — never inferred from a rating or a name. Everything else here is a bar with a real non-alcoholic program, and it is labelled as a bar. Hours are the venue's live listing, re-synced weekly; the drinks on each venue page were read off its current menu and carry the date we last confirmed them.
Questions people ask
Yes. We have verified 5 Savannah venues that both keep a strong zero-proof list and stay open past midnight on at least one night: Alley Cat Lounge, Water Witch Tiki, Bar Julian, Peregrin, Repeal 33. The latest close we found is 2am.
None of the 5 listed here is a fully alcohol-free room; all are licensed venues with a strong, named zero-proof list. If "no bar tab anywhere in the building" is the requirement, check the city page for alcohol-free cafes and bottle shops that close earlier.
Every venue here closes after midnight on at least one night; the card for each shows the latest closing time and how many nights a week it applies. The list is ordered latest-first. Hours come from each venue's live business listing and are re-synced weekly — but late hours are the first thing a bar trims, so check the day before a special trip.
Order from the zero-proof list by name — every venue here has one, and each venue's own page lists the drinks we read off its current menu with ingredients and prices. A named drink built on a real non-alcoholic spirit (Seedlip, Lyre's, Ritual, Pathfinder and the like) is a different thing from a soda with fruit in it, and it is priced and served like a cocktail. If the list has changed since we checked, ask what the bar is making that week rather than for "a mocktail".
It is an honest one. The venues marked "no alcohol served" are rooms where nobody at the next table is drinking either, and for many people that is the only kind of night out that works. The licensed venues are bars — good ones for a non-drinker, but bars — and the page says so plainly rather than blurring the two. Choose by the label, not the name.
