Tiki is defined by high-proof drinks made with rum blends and boozy syrups, so it might seem odd that a bar famed for its mind-bending Zombies and Hurricanes would have such a robust spirit-free section. But all those fresh-squeezed juices and housemade syrups are just as fun in alcohol-free beverages at Hale Pele. Under the vaguely problematic “Virgin Sacrifices” heading, guests can find drinks like the Jungle Bird–inspired Jumanji, which swaps Campari for Wilderton Bittersweet Aperitivo, and the Saturn Return, an homage to the gin-based Saturn with Dhōs Gin Free providing the juniper. A selection of bottled drinks, like an NA Lava Slide and Lapu Lapu, bolster the options.

Named after the bass-slapping jam from legendary funk group the Bar-Kays, Holy Ghost has become Creston-Kenilworth’s neighborhood haunt (get it?) since it opened in 2021. A spacious, window-filled dining room and massive drink menu make it an ideal location for large parties with diverse tastes, including those looking for something delicious and spirit-free. Alongside margaritas, old-fashioneds, and gin fizzes, the bar’s zero-proof drinks are as meticulously crafted as their boozy counterparts, often using Ritual Zero-Proof Agave Spirit Alternative as a complement to the extensive tequila and mezcal selection. Also offered: a spirit-free take of its famed gin fizz, which gets the same robust aeration from one of the bar’s automated machines, Shake Gyllenhaal or Jake the Shake. Be prepared for an even longer wait, though, as these aren’t prebatched like the gin versions.

From the same team as Holy Ghost, the Old Gold is primarily known as one of the city’s best whiskey bars. But like its younger sibling in Southeast Portland, it sports an impressive array of NA drinks. Drømme Calm stands in for the darker, lusher spirits the bar treasures, including a hot toddy variant and the Prince Valium, essentially a Gold Rush minus the whiskey. But the bar also uses the excellent amaro analog, Pathfinder, in drinks like the Peppino Garibaldi: An homage to the frothy orange juice and Campari classic, the PG swaps in Pathfinder and grenadine to achieve that crimson, bittersweet botanical profile.

While plenty of dive bars are open 365 days a year, early and late, good luck hunting down a mocktail at Slim’s or the Yamhill Pub. Radio Room, though, has it covered. Overlooking Alberta, this diner-esque bar handles brunch, happy hour, and dinner every day of the year, and with it, a decently sized menu of nonalcoholic mixed drinks. The Mambo Italiano is a zero-proof Aperol spritz, ideal for happy hours on the double-decker patio, while the Mich-A-Nada goes well with brunch: a diner’s choice of (surprisingly good) nonalcoholic beers with a housemade Bloody Mary mix. A spirit-free take on a mojito swaps in sesame oil for viscosity, and there’s always a seasonal shrub to be found.

This haunted-looking Victorian looming over Mississippi Avenue leans on an arsenal of mixers when shaking, stirring, and blending its lineup of NA drinks. The team uses nonalcoholic spirits like Dhōs and Pathfinder, but also relies on housemade shrubs, orgeat, and even Dole Whip, which drinks more like a slushy than soft serve here. To make things more Portland-y, the entire menu of bar snacks—chicken fingers, sandwiches, nachos, fries—is completely vegan.

An early pioneer of the spirit-free movement, neighborhood cocktail bar Victoria was one of the first spots in town to sport a dedicated NA section on its menu. While others have followed, Victoria remains a favorite for its thoughtful drinks as well as its sprawling, dog-friendly patio. The menu doesn’t change much: The Beautiful Stranger is essentially a gin and ginger with the addition of cucumber and the subtraction of alcohol, Into the Groove is bubbly and gently sweet with strawberry and pineapple, and So Fetch uses the tequila and orange liqueur from Dhōs for a fun take on a spicy margarita. The NA micheladas use the popular Athletic Brewing, as well as a vegan Bloody mix. Those looking for something simpler can find a nice selection of sodas, kombucha, and seltzers.
