Do I have to be sober to enjoy Good News Bar?

We offer a welcoming, safe space for our community to unwind with a clear mind in a positive and alcohol-free environment regardless of your relationship with alcohol. Some are sober curious while others follow a strict program, and our mission is to be inclusive to all.

Do you offer alcohol-free & non-alcoholic drinks?

Yes, our menu is curated to be as inclusive as possible. We offer a variety of functional and free-spirited cocktails that are alcohol-free (0.0% ABV) & others that are non-alcoholic (less than 0.5% ABV).

Each item on our menu comes with a detailed description of the ingredients & an ABV disclaimer to help differentiate between the two.

What are functional cocktails?

Our menu features a functional cocktail section crafted with brain & body-supporting adaptogens, nootropics, nervines, kava & hemp-derived CBD. They are categorized by mood: relaxing, euphoric or energizing. Most functional cocktails are crafted with botanical spirits that are 0.0% ABV.

What are free-spirited cocktails?

Free-spirited cocktails are inspired by traditional cocktails but with our very own non-alcoholic signature twist. In an effort to be as inclusive as possible, we have designed our free-spirited section to include safe options for individuals who are pregnant and breastfeeding that contain no functional ingredients and zero alcohol. Feel free to ask any of our bartenders for assistance in choosing the right drink for you!
