Dry January, dry 2026, or sober for life - whatever you’re doing, we’ve got you! Check out these NA pop-ups, bottle shops, bars, and cocktails for some good clean fun. If you’re more of a beer drinker, revisit our July 2025 post about breweries with NA options on tap.

‍

Burden of Proof

• South Pasadena
• 100% NA bottle shop
• Celebrating its one-year anniversary this January, this 100% NA bottle shop is the place to go if you’re looking to stock your home bar or to try something new. With over 450 NA beers, wines, spirits, and ready-to-drink cocktails - along with a few bonus goodies - you can’t go wrong. 

Bar Nuda

• Various locations
• 100% NA pop-up bar
• This popular Mexican-inspired NA pop-up bar has been roving LA for the past few years. Not only are the drinks NA, but they each have a goal to support your health - relaxation, concentration, rejuvenation, etc. The company is also launching its own NA Mexican-style beer, Ceroveza, later this year.

Free Spirited

• Alhambra
• 100% NA bar
• This sober craft cocktail lounge has a menu that goes through a full alphabet - 26 unique NA cocktails of all shapes, flavors, and colors. The menu has something for everyone, including complex cocktails with NA spirits and cocktails that are fancy grown up juice (juiceheads: we see you, we hear you, we are you). Stop by to work your ABCs or join an event like mahjong, French conversation group, or comedy.

De La Playa

• Highland Park
• 100% NA community space, bottle shop, and bar
• Imagine an NA bottle shop, NA bar, record store, and community space wrapped into one. Stop imagining and see it for yourself! De La Playa is a sober community space offering 100+ NA bottled beverages and vinyl records Wednesday-Sunday, plus an NA cocktail bar and outdoor market on weekends.

Kava Kulture LA

• Atwater Village
• 100% NA (kava) bar
• Along with NA spirits, Kava is making its place in LA’s sober scene. To catch you up, kava is an alcohol-alternative beverage traditionally used in the Pacific Islands which has sedative and anti-anxiety effects. Kava Kulture is one of the first kava bars in the area, and has a casual day-to-night atmosphere.

Kavahana

• Santa Monica
• 100% NA (kava) bar
• Try one of nine kava cocktails - with as many shots of kava as you’d like - or order a pitcher of traditional kava nectar for your friends. In addition to kava, this spot also offers Hawaiian coffee, matcha, and island themed snacks including natural shave ice. Stop by in Santa Monica or at their weekly Smorgasburg stall.

Apotheke

• Chinatown
• Bar with NA options
• Much like an apothecary, for which it was clearly named, this super hip bar crafts cocktails aimed at physical benefits - pain killers, aphrodisiacs, stress relievers, etc. The best part is that in addition to having the option to make many of their standard cocktails without the alcohol, they have a dedicated NA menu featuring 7 unique creations just as intricate as their alcoholic counterparts.

Melrose Umbrella Co.

• Fairfax
• Bar with NA options
• With five solid NA cocktails on the menu, along with four canned NA options, this bar is a great option for the sober and sober-curious among us. Those seeking a real cocktail flavor will appreciate the NA spirits and thoughtful ingredients that grace each of the cocktail options.

The Wicked Wolf

• Long Beach
• Bar with NA options
• With 5 sweet-leaning NA cocktails on the menu, along with one NA beer, The Wicked Wolf is a neighborhood hotspot for Dry January. Stop by in the day for a cuppa at the Victorian tea lounge, or at night for an enchanting fairytale ambiance. A whole menu dedicated to Wicked, anyone?

Silverlake Wine

• Silver Lake
• Bottle shop with NA options
• Among the collection of wine available in this beautiful bottle shop, you’ll find several options for NA wines, both bottled and canned. In addition, the shop offers NA ready-to-drink cocktails, spirits, and beer. Their Thursday night tastings are currently only pouring alcohol samples, but there are tons of full-size options to enjoy in-store so don’t miss out on the party!
