Spoon and Stable is the North Loop flagship of James Beard Award-winning chef/owner Gavin Kaysen, opened in 2014 inside a 1906 former horse stable. Backing came from mentors Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller, and the restaurant was a 2015 James Beard nominee for Best New Restaurant and Food & Wine's 2015 Restaurant of the Year. Its zero-proof offering is a genuine, on-menu program: the bar menu carries a dedicated "Spirit Free Libations" section of bar-crafted mocktails, attributed to bar manager Jessi Pollak. Current named pours include the Toasted Oak (pu'er tea, toasted oak, demerara, aromatic bitters), Solstice (blood orange aperitif, blueberry rooibos, lemon, cinnamon), and Café Negroni (Pathfinder hemp amaro, cold brew, blood orange, Floreale). The list rounds out with Oddbird sparkling rosé and non-alcoholic beers from Athletic, Bauhaus, and Heineken 0.0.
