Sober Travel Guide: Where to Drink in Toronto Without Alcohol
Toronto has quietly built one of North America's deepest non-alcoholic scenes, and its strength runs from dedicated alcohol-free rooms to the city's best cocktail bars, breweries and dining rooms. The clearest anchors are fully alcohol-free: ZERO Cocktail Bar in Cabbagetown, billed as Canada's first non-alcoholic cocktail bar and bottle shop; Free Spirit, the no-tipping alcohol-free bar and restaurant inside the not-for-profit Riverdale Hub; and the Søbr Market bottle shops, which stock NA wine, beer and spirits with a tasting bar. Like Manchester, Toronto's beer culture has led its zero-proof turn — Blood Brothers, Rorschach, Bellwoods, Collective Arts, Burdock and Left Field all brew or pour their own alcohol-free beer at their taprooms. The cocktail depth is real, with printed zero-proof menus at No Vacancy, Grey Tiger, À Toi, Mother, Bar Banane, Bar Pompette and the Fairmont Royal York's Clockwork, while the serious kitchens play along — Alo, Aera, Luma, Maison Selby, Miku and Liliana all run named non-alcoholic drinks — and the alcohol-free wellness clubs Othership and NRG Haus round out a night out without a drink.
