5401 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15224

The Open Road is a fully alcohol-free bottle shop in Pittsburgh's Garfield neighborhood, widely described as the country's oldest non-alcoholic specialty retailer. Founded by Mel Babitz (the business launched as a Dry January pop-up in 2020, opened its first Allentown storefront in 2022, and moved to the larger Penn Ave space in 2024), it stocks 400+ zero-proof products spanning NA beer, dealcoholized wine, NA spirits, and ready-to-drink cocktails, alongside local makers like Jackworth Ginger Beer and Two Frays Brewery. Roughly half the store is dedicated to functional beverages, and the expanded Garfield location includes plans for an on-premises bar.
