Ginger's
A 5 minute walk from The Statler, Ginger's is one of Dallas' newest cocktail lounges. Upon arrival, you'll find a glowing staircase that ascends you into a realm of sophistication. A dazzling chandelier awaits you at the top, as well as an intimately dim lounge made for those looking to end the night on a high note.
HG Sply Co
Offering an unobstructed view of the Dallas skyline, HG Sply Co on Lower Greenville has, arguably, one of the best rooftops in town to wind down with refreshing sips, and a menu full of clean-eating options for every palette. For fair weather fun, enjoy the sprawling rooftop space and lighthearted atmosphere that has made HG a Dallas staple, but try their take on the Moscow Mule that has put them on the map. They offer a mocktail version of the HG Mule with agave, lime and buddha's brew ginger kombucha for you to savor any night of the week and wake up feeling just fine!
HIDE
If you're going out on the town with mocktails in mind, you'll definitely want to plan a stopover at HIDE in Lower Greenville. Boasting an obsession with creating ingredients in-house, this bar is proud to offer brave flavor combinations you won't find anywhere else. Simply tell the mixologist at the bar what kinds of flavors you're into and watch them go to work with equipment you'd otherwise see in a science lab to concoct the perfect mocktail. Pro tip: Take the suggestion of owner, Nick Backlund, and sip on a Vanilla Sour made with lemon, lime, and house-made vanilla bean syrup over carbonated water.
The People's Last Stand
Tucked away in Mockingbird Station, The People's Last Stand is a longtime staple for great drinks and good times in the shopping, dining and entertainment complex. Complete with a long list of libations, this bar is happy to whip you a tasty alcohol-free alternative. Try the Pink Cloud Compression with strawberry, basil and egg white without the vodka or, if you're feeling fancy-free, let them surprise you with something special when you order the Bartender's Choice.
True Food Kitchen
Inspired by the philosophy that the things you consume should make you feel better, not worse, True Food is creating a menu that focuses on conscious nutrition without sacrificing creativity, flavor or indulging in things you love. They showcase a variety of alcohol-free drinks on their menu including organic teas, fresh-pressed juices and natural refreshers that are packed with nutrient-dense ingredients. While they rotate their menu seasonally, the mainstay refreshers include the Medicine Man crafted with heavy brewed tea, honey, POM juice and sea buckthorn and the Hangover Rx made with coconut water, orange juice, pineapple and honey. Treat yourself to good nutrition, good vibes and good times. Cheers to that!
