Great atmosphere, great service, drinks are delicious... great experience!! This will definitely be a spot I will visit frequently!
I really appreciate that a place like this exists. It was so much fun to celebrate a Birthday here with more sober people than alcohol drinkers for once. The non-drinkers felt prioritized in a social space that was very calm and enjoyable. I can’t say enough about the vast selection of NA spirits, beers, wines, bubbly - great options and selections. Loved the gold espresso beans in my NA espresso martini.
Some opportunities for improvement. I got a specialty monthly martini and was excited to try it but what I got was overpowering and unbalanced. I had a hard time getting through it. Another member in my party got the same drink, made by another bartender, and the drink was entirely different and frankly much better than the one I had. For about $16 I was a bit disappointed. We also were sitting right at the bar and a few times we sat with empty drinks in front of us having to get the attention of the bartenders, especially when we needed to close out. It also was a bit pricey, which I can understand the costs of NA spirits may be more, but these costs felt similar to big city prices for a cocktail.

Cool space, creative mocktails, awesome retail selection if you're into NA spirits.
This place looks amazing and would love to try it. If they want to be a healthy option for people looking for a bar vibe, then they should have bar hours. Everytime I have the urge to try it, they aren’t open.
Stopped at AltBar yesterday for the grand opening. What a fun place - I was with family and we tried a variety of Mocktails, a wine flight, dessert and even bought bitters and canned and bottled drinks to bring home. Parking was easy, and they even had outdoor seating! Great venue, we’ll be back!
Me and my friends stopped by here last week and while we were a big group and they just opened the bartender didn’t bat an eye! Has classy bookstore vibes and not only cocktails but you can buy bottles of the “spirits” they use ! They also offer tastings and a cooler full of bottles and cans for purchase. Large outdoor space. If you’re looking for a classy way to start or end your night it’s right here!!! 1000/10
Alt bar is a breath of fresh air in a city full of way too many bars and liquor stores. I recommend the Aplos Ume Spritz, it's seriously my new favorite drink.

The non-alcoholic bottle selections are numerous, the canned mocktails selection is pretty good too ? We had a few drinks from the bar that were very tasty! My husband had the nonalcoholic rosè which was very good. My Venice Sunshine was delicious! My dad had the Archivist Sour which came with fresh raspberries and in a martini glass ? Highly recommend for a delicious hangout!

This is simply gorgeous! A huge selection of soft drinks that really taste interesting! The employees enthusiastically talk about the cocktails while they are being prepared! The establishment is operating in test mode and there is no ready menu yet, but it is already very interesting and exciting! For me, a person who does not drink alcohol, this is a very cool place! I recommend!

I attended the soft opening and the hosts are very enthusiastic and passionate. This is a much needed alternate to the hard drinking bar atmosphere. Beautiful space for friends to meet and chat. Deaf friendly space to chat and sign. I’m looking forward to their events.
