Best Mocktail Bars in Toronto: Your 2025 Guide

While there isn’t exactly a true sober bar in Toronto like the zero bars in New York or L.A., there are lots of options for non-drinkers to grab an elevated mocktail in the city. Finding mocktails at bars in Toronto is getting easier and easier, now that more people are looking for non-alcoholic drinks and cutting back on how much they’re imbibing. There are many restaurants in the city that offer mocktails with fruit juice and syrups, but if you’re a true non-alcoholic drinks enthusiast you’ll be looking for a zero bar experience that serves up drinks with real non-alcoholic spirits. Here’s where you can discover the best mocktails in Toronto with our list of bars and restaurants that use premium non-alcoholic products to craft elevated cocktails sans alcool.

Eataly

Address: Manulife Centre, 55 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M4W 1A6
Social: @eatalytoronto

Eataly is a bespoke Italian marketplace with 50,000 square feet overflowing with four Italian restaurants, nine take-away counters, and a cooking school. You can dine or drink and then pick up some high-end groceries for the way home.

Must Try Mocktails

The Eataly market carries Italian specialties like non-alcoholic Aperol and non-alcoholic sparkling wine, so all of their restaurants offer proper non-alcoholic cocktails. Their aperol spritz dupe uses an aperitif called Bella Aperitif and it’s paired with Prima Pave non-alcoholic sparkling wine made in Italy. The combination is impeccable and a perfect option to sip on with a Sunday brunch or afternoon snack.

Daphne

Address: 167 Richmond St W, Toronto, ON M5H 1Z5
Social: @daphnetoronto

Daphne is a luxurious Bay Street watering hole, with a cozy and luxe vibe for a discreet tete-a-tete or legit date night. Their food is mouthwatering and their drinks list is lengthy, with a few good non-alcoholic options.

Must Try Mocktails

Daphne carries Leitz Eins Zwei Zero non-alcoholic sparkling wine, which is one of the biggest reasons to make this your date night destination. You have to buy it by the bottle, but it’s worth it to have this premium bottle corked just for you. It’s a total luxury for a non-drinker to have a bottle like this with dinner. For pre-dinner drinks, Daphne carries Ceder’s Non Alcoholic spirits (Crisp and Rose), and while they have two mocktails on the menu, you can ask for any gin cocktail you want and sub-in some Ceder’s. We suggest something with cucumber for the Crisp!

Epoch Bar & Kitchen Terrace

Address: 181 Wellington St W, Toronto, ON M5V 3G7
Social: @epochtoronto

Epoch Bar & Kitchen Terrace is located on the ground floor of the gorgeous Ritz-Carlton Toronto. The sumptuous space offers fine dining, afternoon tea and an award-winning cocktail program - something for everyone no matter what the mood is. 

Must Try Mocktails

Epoch Bar & Kitchen Terrace is one of our #1 spots for the best mocktails in Toronto and not only because they use Some Good Clean Fun approved Undone zero proof spirits in their drinks. Non-alcoholic drinks at bars are not usually as prominent in a menu, but the team behind their latest cocktail list has integrated custom-designed non-alcoholic cocktails into their standard cocktail list, which is a luxe collection and playful nod to vintage classic cinema. It’s a nice touch to make it an elevated experience for anyone ordering mocktails. They also carry Bibi premixed italian aperitif, which we suggest ordering on the rocks.

The Drake Hotel

Address: 1150 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1J3
Social: @thedrakehotel

This vintage property turned entertainment and culinary hot spot is in its third decade as a must-visit Toronto destination. The property houses an underground live music venue, a cafe, a super luxe cocktail bar and dining room, a rooftop bar and private dining spaces. Locals and travellers alike will enjoy the edgy but upscale vibe of the Drake Hotel. 

Must Try Mocktails

The mocktail and non-alcoholic drinks list at the Drake is a surprise. Although they don’t use the best quality non-alcoholic spirits for their mocktails, they do have a gin cocktail with Lumette, a spritz with Martini Vibrante aperitif and offer locally-brewed Bellwoods non-alcoholic beer and Barbet non-alcoholic sparkling water. On our last visit to the Lobby Bar, the bartender pulled out a bottle of HP Spiced Rum from his own stash and made us a mind-blowing mocktail served up in vintage glassware (also from his own collection) - so definitely ask for Jeremy at the Lobby Bar.

Henrietta Lane

Address: 394 King St E, Toronto, ON M5A 1K9
Social: @henriettalane

Henrietta Lane is an outlier from the trendier west end watering holes. Corktown is the perfect home for this relaxed and casual cocktail and snack bar. It’s got the vibe of your favorite laid-back local, but their cocktail ingredients are all bespoke hand-crafted tinctures, syrups, teas and garnishes. Their snack menu is everything you’ve ever wanted when having a drink with friends.

Must Try Mocktails

The three mocktails on the menu at Henrietta Lane are unique and creative concoctions using ingredients like tea and malic acid to replicate the cocktail experience. The owners put as much importance on their placebo cocktails as their full-proof options. They also serve up Acid League Proxies Zephyr by the glass, and have a Partake on the menu too if you’re just not a mocktail person.

Planta Yorkville

Address: 1221 Bay St., Toronto, ON M5R 3P5
Social: n/a

Planta is a U.S. plant-based chain from award-winning chef David Lee with two locations in Toronto - Queen West and Yorkville. Each location has its own uniquely-themed upscale vibe with Miami-meets-Asian-fusion menus of mouthwatering creative plant-based dishes.

Must Try Mocktails

Planta offers an enviable half-dozen premium non-alcoholic cocktails on their luxe menu. Two mocktails use the award-winning Lyre’s Spirits Co - a mouthwatering Singapore Spritz and a Miso Mango Sour. Both are sensational demonstrations of how to use zero proof spirits in elevated non-alcoholic cocktails. 

Minami Toronto

Address: 225 King St W Suite 100, Toronto, ON M5V 3M2
Social: @minamitoronto

Located in Toronto’s King West neighbourhood, Minami Toronto is an upscale restaurant with one of the most unique and innovative Japanese dining experiences in Toronto.

Must Try Mocktails

Minami Toronto has a small zero proof list included in their menu, but notably, they use Canadian-made Sobrii 0-gin as their in-house gin and offer premium Oddbird Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine by the glass. If you’re not interested in the mocktail they suggest with Sobrii, just ask for Sobrii 0-gin with tonic and lime. Their other mocktails are house-crafted using fresh juice and custom syrups.

The Lobby at Ace Hotel

Address: 51 Camden St., Toronto
Social: @acehoteltoronto

The Lobby at the Ace Hotel is centrally located just steps away from busy Spadina and Queen, and the new Waterworks market on Richmond. The beautifully designed bar space hosts a mix of local condo-dwellers and hotel visitors for happy hour and beyond. It’s a chill place to grab a quick drink before an event, or have a business meeting. In the summers, their casual sidewalk patio or rooftop patio are the perfect place to catch some post-work sunshine.

Must Try Mocktails

The Lobby boasts two mocktails using real non-alcoholic spirits. The first is a juicy tequila option using Fluere Agave non-alcoholic tequila. The second ambitious drink is a Negroni Sbagliato, using real zero proof vermouth, aperitif and sparkling wine. Both are priced at $16 and great options for ‘pre-gaming’ before a dinner or night out on King West.

A Toi Toronto

Address: 214 King St W, Toronto, ON M5H 3S6
Social: @atoitoronto

A Toi is a hidden speakeasy diner behind the neon Coffee, Oysters, Champagne window on King Street West in Toronto. Dressed up like a bespoke private nightclub, this tiny gem of a resto bar offers up an elevated spin on classic pub fare and custom cocktails, including non-alcoholic.

Must Try Mocktails

Although their entire mocktail bar menu uses the under-whelming Seedlip non-alcoholic spirits, people rave about the You Can’t Slam zero proof cocktail which uses fire tincture (legit) and fresh watermelon basil. The Nospresso Martini with Seedlip Spice 94 is also a fan favourite.

Mother Tongue

Address: 348 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1R7
Social: @mothertongue.ca

This super cool restaurant and speakeasy in Toronto’s entertainment district serves up a fusion of Filipino, Asian and North American cuisine paired with impeccable cocktails. It’s a great spot for a casual bite, a mocktail, or a post-theatre get together.

Must Try Mocktails

This may not be the first place you think of when heading for a mocktail, but this Toronto restaurant has a solid list of mocktails using Canadian-made zero proof gina and tequila Sobrii. The zero proof manila mango is a seriously epic non-alcoholic drink with Sobrii ‘tequila’, mango shrub, lime, strawberry syrup and korean fried chicken spice. They also serve up Peroni Nastro Azzuro 0.0 as the non-alcoholic beer of choice. A great option to pair with their savoury fusion dishes.

Vela

Address: 90 Portland St, Toronto, ON M5V 2N2
Social: @velatoronto

Vela Toronto is luxe, upscale and expensive - a beautifully crafted space that Nuvo Magazine calls New American Opulence. This is definitely your zero bar destination to impress for a hot date night, so you can revel in the mouthwatering menu and sip sip on some amazing non-alcoholic cocktails. 

Must Try Mocktails

Thankfully, Vela carries Oddbird Spumante by the glass, so this is definitely where you and your girls should head for a glass of wine sans hangover. Although the menu says they carry Lyre’s spirits, it turns out they didn’t have it in stock. Despite the lack of Lyre’s, it wasn’t a bad mocktail made with in-house syrups and juice. We discovered they had various random bottles of n/a tequila hidden away, and had an impromptu tasting. Tip: You might have to do a little work to find out what’s available, and then order your own cocktail.

Famous Last Words

Address: 392 Pacific Avenue, Toronto, ON, M6P 2R1
Social: @famouslastwordsbar

This Junction cocktail bar is a serious homage to book lovers. The walls are lined with bookshelves, and the space is filled with comfortable plush seats, quaint tables and cozy nooks to either read in or have a dangerous liaison with another book lover.

Must Try Mocktails

Although Famous Last Words also relies heavily on Seedlip rather than better n/a spirits, they do make several great non-alcoholic cocktails and aren't afraid to highlight them on their menu. Their Lightning Thief mocktail (Percy Jackson, anyone??) is the most promising with pear, lemon, honey and thyme elevated with walnut bitters, They don’t offer any n/a wine but they do have one Partake style on their beer menu. Definitely worth a visit!

Library Bar Royal York

Address: 100 Front St W, Toronto, ON M5J 1E3
Social: @librarybartoronto

The Library Bar at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto is a timeless oasis of sophistication and charm. Nestled within the opulent Fairmont Royal York, this intimate bar exudes an old-world ambiance, adorned with rich mahogany bookshelves, plush leather armchairs, and soft, warm lighting. Snuggle up with one of the literary tomes on offer, or sit back and enjoy the live piano music.

Must Try Mocktails

The Library Bar Royal York (and its sister bar on the ground floor called the Fireside Lounge) offers an exceptionally exquisite mocktail experience. They have a dedicated mocktail menu, and use both high-quality fresh ingredients and non-alcoholic spirits to craft elevated zero proof cocktails we found very luxurious to imbibe on.

Conclusion and Further Exploration

As you can see, while there may not be a true zero bar in Toronto, finding an elevated mocktail in the city is fairly easy if you know where to look. Our list covers options for everyone from 5-star fine dining to pub and comfort food spots. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a non-alcoholic drink with or without food, there are so many ideas.

The downside to all of these places is they don’t carry good non-alcoholic beer or good non-alcoholic wine (with the exception of the Proxies at Henrietta Lane). We still have a long ways to go before bars and restaurants include these in your menu, so you’ll have to make do with non-alcoholic cocktails for now.

If none of the above restaurants tickle your fancy, don’t worry, because finding a good mocktail in Toronto is all about exploring your options. Ask the bartender to get creative and make something elevated and non-alcoholic for you. Try out new restaurants and make sure you ask your server what non-alcoholic drinks they have, if you don’t see it on the menu.
