Charlie was a sinner. is an all-vegan cocktail bar and small-plates restaurant in Philadelphia's Midtown Village, opened in 2014 by Nicole Marquis, the restaurateur behind the HipCityVeg and Bar Bombón plant-based ventures. The dimly lit, candle-lit room — brass bar top, button-tufted banquettes, antique fixtures — is fully plant-based across food and drink. Its craft cocktail program runs deep, and alongside the spirited list it keeps a standing "Zero Proof" section of roughly four non-alcoholic cocktails around $11, built on house-made syrups, cordials, and even a house-made zero-proof gin rather than off-the-shelf substitutes. Current zero-proof pours include No Regrets (house zero-proof gin, lemon, sparkling water), Spicy Pineapple (pineapple, agave, lime, house spice blend), a Basil Fennel Lemon Soda, and a Blackberry Ginger Soda. Visit Philly highlights it as "an upscale respite" on alcohol-heavy 13th Street that "always has several zero-proof options."
