Soft Bar

Soft Bar is an all-day, fully alcohol-free cafe and cocktail bar at 200 Banker Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, opened in September 2025 by Bravo "Summer House" personality Carl Radke. By day it serves premium coffee, espresso, matcha, and teas alongside light bites; in the evening the bar pours what the team calls "soft cocktails" — zero-proof drinks built by beverage director Richard Millwater (previously of Eleven Madison Park and Clemente Bar) using non-alcoholic spirits such as Lyre's, Seedlip, and Three Spirit plus functional ingredients like adaptogens, vitamins, and amino acids. Radke describes the concept as a "third space" for the sober and sober-curious: "We don't make mocktails here, we make soft cocktails. It's an elevated, sophisticated, premium non-alcoholic drink." The roughly 10-drink menu spans bitter, fizzy, and creamy styles — from the espresso-martini-style Tonka Noir to the tropical Shine On with a non-alcoholic rosé base and a fruit-punch popsicle.
