Whether you're trying out dry January, embracing a sober lifestyle or just seeking a refreshing alternative, here are seven of the best spots in the city for a hangover-free night out.
Club Soda Tasting Room
In the heart of central London, Club Soda Tasting Room is a haven for those exploring the world of low or no-alcohol beverages. Perhaps the city’s most famous alcohol-free bar, it boasts an impressive menu of more than 150 low- and no-booze brands to try before buying, as well as a full cocktail bar experience with alcohol-free wines and beer on tap.
The Connaught Bar
For a touch of sophistication to your no-alcohol night out, The Connaught Bar stands as an excellent choice. Renowned for its impeccable service and timeless elegance, this Mayfair establishment has mastered the art of crafting non-alcoholic cocktails that pack just as big a punch as its famous martinis. Presented with just as much artistry as the hard stuff, expect luxe ingredients, from salted cacao coconut water to red berry kombucha.
Nightjar
A hidden slice of old-school glamour in the heart of the West End (and an OG location which is one of our favourite bars in Shoreditch, London), Nightjar boasts a prohibition-themed menu, as well as some signatures, sharers, and, of course, alcohol-free options. Whilst you unwind listening to jazz, sip on an aromatic take the classic Mai Tai, which mixes fresh lime with honey and a Seedlip non-alcoholic spirit.
Grind
Grind, with its multiple locations across London, is a versatile venue that seamlessly combines the best of both worlds—great ambiance and a wide range of low or no-alcohol options and grub to go alongside it. From refreshing virgin mojitos to carefully curated alcohol-free coffee cocktails, all of Grind’s central London bars offer a laid-back yet stylish setting, making it an ideal spot to unwind without compromising on taste.
Bar Swift
Nestled in Soho, Bar Swift is renowned for its chic atmosphere and commitment to quality, even in the realm of low or no-alcohol beverages. The skilled bartenders at Bar Swift craft an array of enticing mocktails that cater to every taste and whim. For one of the best mocktails in London, try The Swift, which is made with darjeeling kombucha, elderflower cordial, lemon sherbet and honey. We’ll take two.
Nessa
Licensed until 2am, Nessa is one of Soho’s best late-night destinations. For those who are embarking on a dryish January, its exciting no-lo menu of cocktails includes signatures like the Drift Me Away (Pentire Adrift, coriander, raspberry, London Essence roasted pineapple); Bramble Fizz (Everleaf Forrest, strawberry, lime and London Essence ginger beer) and the Light Spritz (Pentire Coastal Spritz, London Essence blood orange and elderflower tonic).
Straits Bar and Kitchen at Pan Pacific London
Situated in the heart of the city, Straits Bar and Kitchen at Pan Pacific London offers a refined and contemporary space for those seeking sophisticated non-alcoholic options. The bar's diverse menu features a selection of meticulously crafted Asian-inspired mocktails, with ingredients such as Lychee, Dragon Fruit syrup, coconut milk and yuzu. Embrace the panoramic views of the city while sipping on the Moment Of Zen, an aptly named mocktail which is made of homemade grapefruit and honey syrup, lime juice, grapefruit tonic water and ‘Everleaf Mountain’.
