I have a lot of pregnant friends right now, and one thing we keep saying is: who wants to sit at home just because you’re not drinking? Nashville has way too many fun restaurants, patios, rooftops, and girls’ night spots to miss out on.
So, we’ve been on the hunt for places that serve great mocktails, not just a sad soda water with lime, but actual fun, pretty, thoughtful drinks that make you feel like you’re still part of the night out.
Whether you’re pregnant, sober-curious, the designated driver, or just taking a break from alcohol, here are some of the best places in Nashville to grab a mocktail.
If you’re looking for something a little different, Cafe Babu is worth adding to your Nashville mocktail list. Cafe Babu stands as a vibrant tribute to Indian culture and hospitality, offering a warm, authentic dining experience in the heart of Nashville. Along with its flavorful menu, you’ll find creative beverages that make it a great spot for a girls’ lunch, coffee date, or evening outing. The unique flavors offer a refreshing alternative to the typical cocktail bar scene. The Hibiscus Raspberry, Gins & Roses, and The Spritz are all great choices.
Hidden behind an unassuming door in Edgehill, this Nashville favorite is known for its expertly crafted cocktails—and mocktails are no afterthought. The menu frequently features several spirit-free options made with the same attention to detail as their signature drinks. It’s one of the best spots in town for a sophisticated night out without the buzz. Try the Blank Slate, Villa Place, N/A Spritz or the N/A Michelle-ada.
Often mentioned among Nashville’s top destinations for non-alcoholic beverages, The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club takes mocktails seriously. Expect balanced flavors, house-made syrups, and beautiful presentation that make you forget you’re drinking alcohol-free. Get yourself a cheese board and try the Snow Monkey Margarita, the Dr. Fox or the Careful Whisper.
This East Nashville favorite has become known for its creative beverage program, including several zero-proof options that feel just as special as anything on the cocktail menu. Pair one with brunch or dinner on the patio for a perfect Nashville outing. Try their Turmeric cooler, beet root soda or coffee fizz.
5. Avo
If you’re looking for wellness-focused options, Avo has one of the most extensive mocktail selections in town. Avo is a vegan plant-based restaurant in Midtown. Their creative menu includes everything from fruit-forward drinks to matcha-inspired creations that feel both indulgent and refreshing. The n/a prosecco, n/a Juicy IPA and their Lime in the Coconut and Lemon Lavender cocktails are a must-try.
