Alcohol-Free LA: 7 Experiences in Los Angeles That Don’t Involve Booze (2026)

Tinseltown has come a long way since the days when anybody who was anybody had a drink in hand. As younger generations prioritize health over alcohol, zero-proof cocktails and nonalcoholic beer are having a moment.

Whether you’re prioritizing your health, you’re in recovery or you just don’t like the way drinking makes you feel, we’ve compiled some of the best booze-free experiences in Los Angeles so you can have a night out sans alcohol.

1. Kavahana

When: Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 a.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Where: 1603 N. La Brea Ave., Hollywood

Price: A la carte

The experience: In addition to light bites, Kavahana serves up a variety of drinks using kava, a South Pacific plant whose roots are ground and mixed with water to create kava nectar. It offers an alternative to alcohol that has a relaxing effect and creates a mild, euphoric, and sedative feel. Visitors to the shop can opt for plain kava nectar or order it mixed in a number of coffee and juice-style beverages, all of which are totally Instagrammable. Because it’s open later than most other coffee shops, it’s a great spot for a nighttime tipple.

Other key info: This is a walk-in establishment that doesn’t take reservations. The Hollywood location has free parking out front. Wi-Fi and a dog-friendly outdoor patio are also available.

2. Bar Non at De La Playa Records & Leisure

When: Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Where: 110 S. Ave. 56, Los Angeles

The experience: For one of the best alcohol-free experiences in Los Angeles, Bar Non outdoor mocktail stand serves up 100 different types of nonalcoholic cocktails on weekends outside the De La Playa Records & Leisure record store in LA’s Highland Park. You can also catch live DJ sets there, which add to the laidback vibe. Although it’s not open late, it’s a great place to mingle and unwind without the buzz before heading off wherever the rest of the night takes you.

Other key info: Mocktail vendors rotate, so menus change frequently. Reservations are not accepted.

It’s the perfect spot for diners and drinkers who have a hard time finding a place that can accommodate their needs. Plus, the laidback lounge atmosphere lends itself to a chill time. And trust us when we tell you the zero-proof beverages at this place are visually stunning.
