What Philadelphia Restaurants Serve Mocktails?

Anyone moving to the Main Line will welcome the variety of establishments serving up mocktails. These colorful drinks come in the same drinkware as their sinful cousins and feel festive on any occasion. Mocktails aren’t just non-alcoholic drinks. They are recipes crafted with the same attention to flavor profiles as their spirited counterparts.

Mocktails are available at many Philly bars and restaurants. Some establishments do not include mocktails on their menus, so it’s always a good idea to ask. The destinations below, however, include special booze-free beverages as part of their regular menu. Some drink offerings may change with the season.

Kitchens typically close one hour prior to closing, so adjust plans accordingly.

“Just because you don’t drink, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a handcrafted beverage,” said FCM Hospitality Beverage Director Matt Deutsch. “Mocktails are a great way to enhance your dining experience without the repercussions of drinking alcohol, like driving home and hangovers. They’re also great for pregnant women, children, and non-drinkers to feel part of the group.”

Tack on a visit to one of these bars or restaurants for a great mocktail in Philly (or beyond) after attending one of the many family-friendly Main Line events. These expertly blended booze-free drinks are so good, no one will even miss the alcohol.
