Since originally posting this blog back in the spring of 2023, the mocktail and non-alcoholic scene has grown here in Park Slope, throughout Brooklyn and the rest of NYC. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again—Brooklyn’s mocktail scene is here to stay.
Whether you’re partial to non-alcoholic or zero proof drinks, allergic to alcohol, looking to cut back on cocktails for Dry January or simply sober curious, you’ll be happy to know that we’ve updated our Brooklyn mocktails list for 2025 to cover a lot more spots and remove the few that closed their doors.
From bars to restaurants, cans to retail outlets, here’s our roundup of where to find NA and alcohol-free drinks in Brooklyn.
Though Listen Bar is mostly online nowadays aside from a few events here and there, they started out in Brooklyn. Described on their website as, “All bar. No booze.” Listen Bar was created to reinvent the nightlife experience—and they’ve created an entire alcohol-free menu. Sign up for an event, take an alcohol-free cocktail class online or check out their bar shop.
Having (softly) opened their doors just days ago, Mockingbird is a zero-proof cocktail bar located on Park Slope’s 7th Avenue—just down the street from our Garfield Realty office! Created by friends Coulton Vento and Evan Clark, Mockingbird is a place to grab a non-alcoholic drink or on the weekend a small plate, listen to music and mingle amid a beautifully designed space. In addition to their mocktails, you can sample a variety of NA beers and wines from several minority- and women-owned businesses. Follow their Insatgram for updates.

We’ve already written about the decadent hot chocolate and outdoor seating at Sunday in Brooklyn—clearly we’re fans! But we should mention that their Zero Proof menu is as solid as their Cocktails. Their mixologists use non-alcoholic spirits like rum, amaretto, Lyre’s American Malt and Lyre’s Coffee Liqueur to create colorful, inventive drinks that complement their beautiful foods. And they also serve non-alcohol Brooklyn Brewery beer.
