Sober Travel Guide: Where to Drink in Dallas Without Alcohol
Dallas has quietly built a deep non-alcoholic scene with a real fully-alcohol-free backbone: Beyond the Bar in Richardson (a dedicated NA bottle shop), Dry Sips in East Dallas (DFW's first NA-only bottle shop), Mother's House (an Oak Lawn coffee-and-mocktail lounge inside a tattoo studio), and The Kava Bar in Oak Cliff. Community Beer Co. even brews its own award-winning "Nada" non-alcoholic line in the Design District. The depth, though, is in named zero-proof menus at the city's best bars and restaurants — James Beard sushi flagship Uchi, the pan-Mediterranean wine bar Anise at The Drey, plus Bishop Arts, Uptown, and Lower Greenville mainstays like Paradiso, XOXO Dining Room, and Sixty Vines serving spirit-free drinks that hold their own next to anything on the alcohol side.
