Are you taking part in Dry January this year?
Whether you’re sober curious, completely sober, or just want to be able to drink with friends who are, we’re listing a few spots in Chattanooga that are serving up delicious mocktails, non-alcoholic beers, and more. We’ll have a non-alcoholic cheers to that. 🍻
Mocktails

Other NA beverages
State of Confusion | Try an Agua Fresca, a non-alcoholic drink popular in Mexico in flavors like strawberry basil and cherry limeade.
Honeyseed | This recently opened spot features a variety of non-acoholic beverages, from Instagram-recommended charcoal lemonade (thanks for the tip, @tammiheflin) to red sangria Agua Fresca.
The Tap House | Head to St. Elmo for house-made root beer and butter beer on tap, plus a variety of other specialty sodas.
Bonus: Instagram user @j.worm444 told us that she started a sober group that sometimes meets at The Tap House, Scenic City Sober Social. The group welcomes all steps of sobriety, from sober curious to those who have never had a drink before.
The Facebook group is private to keep the privacy of those who choose to be anonymous in their sobriety.
