Sober Travel Guide: Where to Drink in San Antonio Without Alcohol

San Antonio's zero-proof drinking is unusually good and unusually distributed: the city has fifteen venues pouring named alcohol-free drinks and exactly one bar where nothing behind the counter contains alcohol. That bar is Hash, a fully spirit-free cocktail room with a vegan kitchen on South Flores — the only address in a city of 1.5 million that qualifies, and it closes at 7pm. The real depth sits in licensed rooms, and the better ones have converged on the same short list of non-alcoholic spirits that actually perform: Isidore rebuilds its Maravilla Margarita on Almave blanco agave and pours a Labrador Spritz on Tenneyson black ginger, and Double Standard uses the same Tenneyson in its Smoke & Mirrors. Pharm Table's whole menu is anti-inflammatory cooking, so its N/A-groni is continuous with the room rather than an exception; Fermenteria builds on fermentation, which is the one technique that reliably replaces what alcohol removes. Downtown has three rooftops with named zero-proof drinks — The Moon's Daughters, High Praise and 1Watson — which is rare, and Brooklyn Avenue keeps Idle Beer Hall and Tony's Siesta serving until 2am. For mornings, Box St. All Day pours Ritual Zero Proof cocktails from 9am in Hemisfair.
