Whether you’re out on the town listening to live music or frequenting a new cocktail bar with friends, scouring the menu for alcohol-free selections can be a daunting task.

Keep your gin up and bookmark this guide for 50+ options in Nashville — including mocktails, non-alcoholic wines and brews, and even a few of bottle shops.

The midday move

The Hampton Social, 201 1st Ave. S. | This downtown social club offers rotating seasonal zero-proof cocktails year-round. Right now, you can order The Lighthouse (Sicilian lemonade and rosemary), Gingerly Thymed (ginger beer, thyme, orange, and lime), and Pom & Pepper (non-alcoholic sparkling rosé, pomegranate, black pepper, and lime).

Jasper’s, 1918 West End Ave. | Explore the “I’m Not Drinking Today” menu for a variety of handcrafted non-alcoholic cocktails, specialty sodas, and growing list of non-alcoholic beers. Editor’s pick: Blackberry Beret (blackberry basil, lime, ginger beer, and soda).

This is the only kind of Left On Read we want to experience.

There are big changes in store for Old Glory Distilling Co. early this year.

Whether you want our Clarksville recs to sip and stay awhile, or you’re just passing though on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail — hit the brakes at Old Glory. The distillery is nearly finished with a renovation that includes a large indoor-outdoor space, grain silo bar, and new restaurant concept.

The Restaurant and Silo Park at Old Glory Distilling Co. will take space adjacent to the distillery that was used to host events like weddings, banquets, and company parties. Upon its completion, guests can expect a menu featuring “modern takes on the region’s traditional entrées” and dishes created using the distillery’s signature spirits.
