9 of the best spots for non-alcoholic drinks in Birmingham
Reading time: 5 minutes
We know we have an amazing drink scene around town, but Birmingham isn’t ALL about the booze. You can actually find a great selection of mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks from your favorite bars and restaurants in the city. Keep reading for all the best places serving up mocktails in Birmingham.
Say goodbye to boring mocktails
If you’ve ever ordered a mocktail, you’ve probably suffered through a sad, watered down or over-juiced drink. For those who love a good cocktail, but may be taking a break from the booze, the world of non-alcoholic beverages has really upped its game. Mocktails no longer have to be plain and boring, and Birmingham’s bars are here to prove it.
The Lumbar, whose drinks we’ll get to soon, has a year-round mocktail menu that they created with people in mind who:
- are struggling with sobriety
- have religious obligations
- are trying Whole 30
- are designated drivers
- are expecting little ones in < 9 months
- might be just plain sick of drinking
There are so many reasons you may be on the hunt for a delicious non-alcoholic drink. Here’s where we love to get a tasty mocktail in town:
1. The Marble Ring
As if we need any other reason to make a visit to the coolest speakeasy in town, they have a whole section on their menu of mocktails and non-alcoholic sips. Want our rec? Try the wedding bells: strawberry mint shrub, ginger honey syrup, cream and crushed ice.

3. Tasty Town
This is my favorite spot to grab lunch. It may sound fun, but a midday cocktail on a work day usually isn’t in the cards. Instead, their refreshing elderflower and grapefruit mocktail hits the spot every time. They even have a non-alcoholic gin and tonic!
