Little Walter's is a 32-seat modern Polish restaurant and bar in East Kensington, opened in June 2024 by chef-owner Michael Brenfleck as a tribute to his late grandfather, Walter Bubick. The kitchen emphasizes scratch cooking and regional sourcing — house-made sourdough rye, pierogi ruskie, kielbasa, and rotisserie pork over bigos. In 2024 it was the only Philadelphia restaurant named to The New York Times' "Restaurant List: 50 Favorite Places in America Right Now," and it won a Philadelphia Magazine Best of Philly award. The bar runs a dedicated zero-proof section on its menu titled "bezalkoholowe" (Polish for "non-alcoholic"), priced at $7, alongside the cocktail, wine, and beer lists. Named NA drinks include the Mleczarz (whey, apple shrub, dill), Sadownik (tart cherry, orange, cardamom), Zielarz (rosemary honey, herbal tea, bitters), and Feniks, plus a non-alcoholic beer.

Little Walter's just dropped a whole menu of zero-proof cocktails dubbed "bezalkoholowe" (which translates to "non-alcoholic" in Polish), so picking just one drink this Dry January is tricky.
