Hekate is a charming sober bar and bottle shop, ranked #1 on the list of Best Sober Bars in America. They offer 0ABV beers, wines, and alcohol-free cocktails. They welcome all and serve up zero-proof classics like Whiskey Sour, Negroni, or Hot Toddy, plus specialty drinks like Pumpkin Spice Martini. (Feeling adventurous? Request a custom creation!)
Multiple Locations

Known as one of NYC’s top cocktail bars, Dear Irving doesn’t skip a beat when it comes to zero-proof. At Gramercy, the Jasmine Cooler is fresh and floral. At Hudson, go for the Garden Party with Seedlip and yuzu or the ’90s Nostalgia with lychee and rosewater. Booze-free never felt this fancy and fresh.

Maison Passerelle doesn’t treat zero-proof like an afterthought, which makes sense considering Culinary Director Gregory Gourdet is a longtime sober chef and 3x James Beard Award winner. His spirit-free cocktails are as complex as the food, from the tropical Sticky Rice Swizzle to the fermented, floral Muri Yamile. Dry January never tasted this luxe.
7 Rivington St | LES

Loreley’s Heated Winter Lodge is back, decked out with white florals, faux furs, and cozy winter vibes. Now through March, enjoy zero-proof sips like the Virgin Apple Cider Spritz and Boozy Hot Chocolate, paired with warm pretzels and Cheese Spätzle. Loreley also serves non-alcoholic drinks year-round.
231 Hudson St | SoHo

This sultry cocktail den’s zero-proof menu leans fun and flavorful, with options like the earthy Matcha Sour (matcha, yuzu, aloe, honey), the dreamy Buko Punch (pandan, coconut, almond milk), and the fizzy Lemongrass Pop with butterfly pea and lemon. Booze who?
109 E 22nd St | Gramercy

Hawksmoor New York is a steakhouse priding itself on serving the best beef around town, but their true hidden gem is its "Lo & NoAlc" menu! They offer a variety of delicious drinks like their "Sour Cherry America(no)" and "Steady Pete’s Ginger Brew," perfect for every palate.
21 W 35th St | Koreatown

Sober-curious but worried about sad, syrupy mocktails? BarChef is for you. They’ve got an entire page on the menu dedicated to cocktails made with top-shelf non-alcoholic spirits. Start with the Agave Heights (pictured above), then move on to the smoky, floral Forgotten Beauty with a hint of cherry that might just have you ordering a second.
174 8th Ave | Chelsea

If you’re looking to step up your mocktail game, Jungle Bird has nailed it! Their zero-proof menu features three standout house cocktails, canned classics like the Phony Negroni, and local non-alcoholic beer and wine. To munch on, definitely grab some dumplings or their mouth-watering Smashburger.
200 W 39th St | Garment District
Photo: The Skylark
Thirty floors above the city, The Skylark pairs iconic skyline views with a non-alc menu that hits every note. Citrusy? Check. Savory? Check. This is Dry January, NYC style. Grab a bite while you’re there... worth it.
1170 Broadway | NoMad
PHOTO: LITTLE NED
Little Ned, located inside The Ned, is the perfect spot to sip on spirit-free classics like a Mule, Negroni, or Piña Colada. While soaking in the elegant, throwback atmosphere, be sure to order their signature Ned Pretzel with Whipped Honey Mustard Butter or the Chicken Parmigiana Sticks with marinara.
140 E 41st St | Midtown

Nothing about this Midtown bar is mid. Looking for a mocktail that'll make you question why people drink alcohol in the first place? With a small but mighty non-alcoholic menu, Albert's Bar is a must. Our personal favorite? The "Love That For You." Pro tip: order the Chicken Pot Pie while you're there.
East Village & Bushwick

This Korean hotspot, with locations in both the East Village and Bushwick, doesn’t just serve up fire food and cocktails—they also boast a killer list of zero-proof drinks! Take the "Spritz Tricky," for example, pictured above, featuring blood orange, rosemary, and yuzu. Grab your friends and head here for great food and sober fun!
177 Mott St | Little Italy

Now that you've tried a mocktail or two from our list, you can make them at home thanks to Spirited Away! America's first booze-free bottle shop is here in Little Italy. Whether inspired by Dry January, a sober friend, or a few too many bad nights, stop by and explore their huge selection of non-alcoholic spirits, wines, cocktails, beers, and more!
