G-Love is serving up a range of fresh mocktails this month. (G-Love)
Looking to decrease your alcohol consumption for January? Whether you're going dry, damp, or "sober-curious," we've compiled a handy list of places to find non-alcoholic beverages around Portland so you can quench your thirst. For more ideas, check out our food and drink guide.


G-Love List
This "reverse steakhouse" lets you drink your fruits and veggies with an array of produce-forward mocktails, including the "Flamingo Beach" (blood peach, pineapple, lemon, and soda), "Carrotina" (carrot, bell pepper, ginger, mole, lemon, and soda), and "Nojito" (mint, lime, and soda). Many of the regular cocktails are also available in non-alcoholic versions upon request.
Nob Hill

Grape Ape List
This laidback natural wine shop stocks a bevy of non-alcoholic bevs, including Wilderton spirits, Two Roots and Best Day Brewing beer, Leitz Eins Zwei Zero sparkling riesling, and more.
Buckman

Holy Ghost Bar List
In addition to its usual selection of alcohol-free offerings, Holy Ghost is serving five non-alcoholic specials for the month that are far from a consolation prize: "Ghost Rider" (Ritual non-alcoholic tequila, tamarind spirit, pineapple, lime, ginger, and soda), "Kitchen Sink" (Ritual non-alcoholic tequila, miso chipotle honey syrup, pandan, and tonic), "Sober Stallion" (Ritual non-alcoholic aperitif, green tea syrup, grapefruit bitters, lemon, and soda), "Thai Blossom" (Ritual non-alcoholic gin, Thai basil syrup, orange blossom, and lime), and the delightfully savory "Agua Verde Picante" (Untitled Art Mexican lager, hot sauce, lime, pineapple, saline, firewater bitters, and a Tajín rim).
Brooklyn

Kann List and Sousòl List
Kann owner and Top Chef star Gregory Gourdet has been vocal about his sobriety, so it stands to reason that both his restaurant and its basement bar Sousòl offer plentiful zero-proof options. Choose from drinks like Kann's "Grenadia" (passionfruit vanilla and star anise cordial, chicha, banana, ginger, and soda) and Sousòl's "Caribbean Kiss" (mango, citrus, star anise, sparkling water, Dhōs orange, and egg white, also available as a vegan variation without the egg white).
Buckman

Paydirt List
You don't have to give up your espresso martini habit for the month—instead, opt for Paydirt's "espresso mart-NO," made with Dhōs non-alcoholic gin, cold brew, Pathfinder non-alcoholic spirits, and sugar.
Kerns

Takibi List
This Pacific Northwest-influenced izakaya has you covered with several complex non-alcoholic sips, from the nuanced "A Haiku #3" (Pathfinder Hemp & Root, oat milk, peppermint tea, demerara, and shoyu) to a refreshing yuzu shandy (Athletic Brewing Golden Ale, Kimino sparkling yuzu juice, shichimi togarashi, and sea salt).
