Our favourite bars serving alcohol-free in London
“Everything in moderation, including moderation.”
- Oscar Wilde
We hear you Oscar, we hear you. There’s nothing worse than standing in a bar with your mates and having to order a lime and soda...not to mention those sickly sweet fruit juice concoctions known as ‘mocktails’.
While there are plenty of things to do in London if you’re not drinking, you shouldn’t have to miss out on the bar culture or on taste either! Thankfully, there are now a number of pubs and bars across London serving premium cocktails made with alcohol-free spirits.
The same sensory experience, minus the booze.
What’s more, being in a city as diverse, innovative, and eclectic as London, means that there are a huge variety of venues to choose from. So whether you’re looking for a 100% alcohol-free bar, a pub that serves inclusive drinks, or a restaurant with non-alcoholic cocktails, then you’re in luck!
Here are our favourite venues serving alcohol-free in London:

If you enjoy a tall tale with your alcohol-free cocktail, then The Cocktail Trading Company is the best bally bar in London! These guys never fail to entertain with their witty menu and humorous bar staff.
While there are no 0% alcohol drinks listed, we recommend looking through their cocktail menu for inspiration (and a barrel of laughs). Simply tell the bartender what catches your eye and they’ll make you a bespoke alcohol-free cocktail based on your preferences. You can’t ask for more than that.

Staying off the booze but still want in on the London nightlife? Heads + Tails is the place to be. With a beautifully sophisticated ground floor bar, an atmospheric downstairs bar, and a tranquil garden, there’s a space for every mood or occasion. What’s more, the bartenders certainly know a thing or two about cocktails and will gladly whip you up something special with 0% alcohol.
Homeboy

Bar with alcohol-free options

An Irish bar with a modern twist, Homeboy showcases the very best of Irish hospitality. Paired with the skills and knowledge of their top-notch bartenders and mixologists, you’re not going to want to leave! Be warned though, while they are one of the most hospitable bars in London, they will (probably) still kick you out at closing time.
Consistently voted as one of the best cocktail bars in London, the UK and Europe, the bar staff will masterfully produce an alcohol-free beverage to satisfy your cocktail cravings.
Redemption
2 Neal's Yard, London, WC2H 9AT
100% alcohol-free bar and vegan restaurant
Redemption is a super healthy - but incredibly delicious - casual vegan restaurant with an alcohol-free bar. It’s located in Neal’s Yard, the colourful corner of Covent Garden, which means there’s al fresco dining. They’ve also got a covered outdoor seating area...you know, just in case it rains in London!
Alter
15 Leman St, London, E1 8EN
Plant-based restaurant with alcohol-free drinks options
While Alter is technically not an alcohol-free bar, or even just a bar, it is in fact a fantastic plant-based restaurant serving mouthwatering dishes alongside dive bar style drinks. There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available.
Despite serving an entirely vegan menu, Alter adamantly avoids meat substitutes and instead draws inspiration from global street food cultures that already taste amazing without the addition of meat. Just like CROSSIP Drinks, Alter aren’t willing to compromise on flavour.
Having just experienced an exploding ceiling, we urge you to support them by booking yourself a table from August onwards! Go go go!
The Book Club
100-106 Leonard Street, London, EC2A 4RH
Bar with alcohol-free options
Who said you can’t have a good night out while drinking alcohol-free? The Book Club is a party bar in Shoreditch, with regular DJ nights and bottomless drag events. So it may come as a surprise to learn that they have an entire Lo and No menu! Now you can dance the night away without waking up with a hangover the next day.
