Dry January: Best Bars In London For Non-Alcoholic Drinks

For those partaking in Dry January, it can be tempting to hibernate on the sofa for the entirety of the month to avoid temptation. Yet a growing collection of bars are making sober nights out more fun by adding exciting low and no-alcohol drinks to their menus, from tipples made with mood-enhancing ingredients to chic mocktails inspired by New York’s Broadway. Here’s where to go for non-alcoholic drinks in London in 2026.

Where To Go For Non-Alcoholic Drinks In London

The Cocktail Club

The clue’s in the name: The Cocktail Club is all about stellar cocktails – but mocktails are no afterthought. There’s a dedicated menu offering alcohol-free twists on Cocktail Club favourites, made with non-alcoholic spirits brand Smiling Wolf, which uses nootropics and vitamins to mimic the buzz of drinking. The Pornstar Puff, for instance, features hibiscus, passionfruit and Smiling Wolf Zero Alcohol Mood Enhancing Vodka, while the Tommy’s Fit is a twist on the classic margarita, mixed with picante syrup for an extra dose of zing.

Mr Fogg’s

Mr Fogg’s is a collection of whimsical bars which transport you back to the Victorian era, dotted around London in locations like Covent Garden and Mayfair. Drinks are known for being quirky and creative, and the non-alcoholic offering is no different. The newly launched Fogg collection aims to clear that all-too-familiar alcohol-induced fog with four booze-free versions of signature cocktails. A New Horizon blends Everleaf Mountain non-alcoholic aperitif with basil, strawberry, lime and cranberry, for instance, while Light Through the Fogg is blended with Seedlip Garden 108, rhubarb, mint and yuzu soda.

The May Fair Bar

Set within a stylish hotel set beside Berkeley Square, a trip to The May Fair Bar always feels like a treat. No need to worry if you’re off the booze this January: the bar has partnered with non-alcoholic wine brand Wild Idol to create a series of drinks inspired by iconic Broadway moments. Showtime, for instance, evokes the anticipation ahead of a show with flavours of bright citrus and lemon verbena, while The After Party draws on late-night moments with Wild Idol Sparkling White, cherry cordial and Lyre’s Amaretti.

Do Not Disturb

City workers after a post-office drink without the hangover should pay a visit to Do Not Disturb, the speakeasy bar tucked away on Garlick Hill. It’s all about classic cocktails amid stylish settings, inspired by the clandestine drinking dens of 1920s New York – but the menu also includes a selection of alcohol-free drinks made with CBD. Get A Wiggle On is a mix of non-alcoholic gin, coriander seed and juniper syrup, while Mickey Finn blends Everleaf Mountain with hibiscus and blackcurrant tea, lime leaves, and strawberry and kaffir shrub.

Cahoots

Across both its original Soho branch and the new Postal Office in Borough Yards, speakeasy-style bar Cahoots transports guests back to the 1940s. Boasting vintage decor and live entertainment, there’s plenty to do and see aside from the drinks – but alcohol-free diners will find plenty on the menu this January, too. The bar team have worked with brands like Everleaf and Seedlip to create a new line-up of alcohol-free tipples blended with foraged ingredients from the British countryside. Head here to try drinks like The Clear-Headed Crop, a mix of Seedlip Spice 94 and Franklin & Sons yuzu soda, as well as The Orchard Pincher, made with Everleaf, basil, lime, plus apple and pear soda.
