Dry January is upon us once again! If you plan to participate but aren’t exactly looking forward to it, we have something that may actually get you excited for the challenge. We rounded up an epic list of all the places where you can enjoy non-alcoholic drinks in Seattle. Each of these bars and restaurants has something delicious to offer the non-drinking crowd (i.e. options other than water or soda). Many of them also have excellent food, fun games to play, and exciting events to ensure you have some fun. Whether you’re a non-drinker, sober-curious, pregnant, or doing a dry month, you’ll have a blast at these Seattle spots.
Also, if you’re newly sober and don’t yet feel confident about going to a bar, that’s OK too! There are several restaurants and establishments on this list that are not centered around drinking. Or, check out our guide to fun things to do for Dry January in Seattle.
