Sober Travel Guide: Where to Drink in Nashville Without Alcohol
Nashville's non-alcoholic scene has grown up fast in a town built on honky-tonks and bachelorette bar crawls. It's anchored by Killjoy — the city's first booze-free bottle shop, now with two locations in East Nashville and Berry Hill — The Mockery, a fully alcohol-free bar and NA bottle shop inside the Germantown farmers' market, and Passage Kava Lounge in Madison. The headline arrival is Redemption Bar, country star Ashley McBryde's NA-forward bar on Lower Broadway, where about 18 zero-proof cocktails are named after her lyrics. East Nashville carries the craft-cocktail depth, with dedicated zero-proof menus at Food & Wine–honored The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club, tiki spot Coral Club, and Sean Brock's Michelin-recommended Audrey, while Southern Grist's own Oasis hop water still pours on draft at the Nations taproom now run by Xul Beer Co.
