Red Bird’s stylish taproom and patio make it a summer hotspot, and they go the extra mile for non-drinkers. You’ll find drinks from local brands like Farming Karma sodas, SIMPS Modern Beverage, and Motherlove kombucha, plus tasty mocktail options.

Micro Bar + Bites

Micro also features a dedicated zero-proof drink menu. Bottled NA beers, spirit-free cocktails, and bartenders who are happy to customize your mocktail make this a great upscale option.

King Taps

Known for its patio views, King Taps also boasts an impressive selection of zero-alcohol options. While their mocktail menu isn’t huge, bartenders are happy to shake up custom spirit-free creations.

Central Kitchen + Bar

A local fave for brunch and casual dinners, Central also delivers when it comes to mocktails. Their menu rotates seasonally, but they often feature refreshing, fruit-forward non-alcoholic cocktails. Great for a daytime catch-up or group outing.

Gather

A downtown staple with a creative cocktail scene, Gather will happily swap your drink for a beautifully garnished mocktail.

Quick Tips When Ordering Mocktails in Kelowna

  • Not on the menu? No problem. Many bartenders are more than happy to whip up a custom mocktail or turn your favourite cocktail into a zero-proof version, just ask!
  • Pro tip: Use the words “spirit-free” or “zero/without-proof” if you’re looking for elevated options.
  • Many places use local ingredients or house-made syrups for mocktails, making them just as special as the alcoholic ones.

There are numerous great spots in Kelowna serving up creative non-alcoholic options that go far beyond basic soda or juice. If you’ve got a go-to place or a favourite drink I missed, I’m always up for discovering something new. Send me a message!
