Seattle bars and restaurants are becoming more inclusive of the sober and sober-curious crowd. Thanks to a boom in the zero-proof industry over the last two years, bartenders have an increasing number of tools to make elaborate cocktails for those who don’t drink, whether that’s for Dry January, or just the next round.

Capitol Hill bar Life on Mars has a nonalcoholic cocktail menu for the month, featuring drinks made with ingredients from zero-proof spirit companies like Pathfinder, Lyre, and Seedlip. In Northgate, Watershed Pub & Kitchen offers a robust selection of nonalcoholic cocktails like the Dry Fashioned, made with Lyre’s American Malt, or the Tropical Mist, made with Seedlip’s Garden 180, lime, and pineapple.

Here are 11 great places in Seattle to get a nonalcoholic cocktail, from nonalcoholic renditions of Cosmopolitans to Pathfinder Spritzes and housemade yuzu sodas. As usual, this list is not ranked; it’s organized geographically.

Fremont’s hip cocktail spot has a penchant for cleverly-named drinks, like the gin and mezcal cocktail Asleep In The Bath Again, and its nonalcoholic selections are just as plucky. In addition to zero-proof versions of old fashioneds and rum drinks, check out the Small Town Drama, a strawberry and tangerine spritz with spirits Seedlip and Som Cordial.

For January, it has expanded its nonalcoholic selection by adding a month-long special menu with zero-proof herbaceous and botanical-infused spirits, like the Self Portrait, with Pathfinder, Minor Figures Mocha, mint, and bitters; and the Bird of Paradise, featuring Lyre’s White and Dark cane, pineapple shrub, and orgeat.
