🥂 If you’re swapping alcohol for some spirit-free fun this month, here’s where to fill up your cup:



Yuzu Kitchen
 📍 Downtown
Pair a savory bowl of ramen with a refreshing craft mocktail. My pick: peanut noodles and “Let’s Be Friends” made with oolong tea, Thai basil, and orgeat.



The Open Road
 📍 Allentown
Head to Pittsburgh’s first nonalcoholic bottle shop filled with craft brews, tonics, mixers, and alcohol-free spirits.



Spork
 📍 Garfield
Celebrate a special occasion with wildly delicious food alongside the temperance menu. My pick: forest mushroom ravioli and “Leaving On The Midnight Train” featuring ritual zero proof gin alternative, verjus blanc, peach-apricot tea, elderflower cordial, and lemon.



East End Brewing
 📍 Larimer & Mt. Lebanon
Head to the brewery for thick crust pizza and fresh-made Barmy Sodas.



Bridges and Bourbon
 📍 Downtown
Dine in the Cultural District with $5 mocktails. My pick: sage pesto pasta and “Thyme Preserved” made with strawberry jam, lemon, thyme, rosemary, sage, and fresca.
