All Sober in New York

The Big Apple truly has it all — including a sober bar with a "witchy vibe" and an array of enchanting non-alc cocktails. Take a peek in our video guide to the sober city!

January 31, 2024

Manhattan’s East Village has long been a place that sets the pace of what’s cool in nightlife. But we were still a little surprised to discover Hekate Café & Elixir Lounge, the city’s only brick-and-mortar sober bar.

Why? All Sober correspondent Ricky Byrd stepped inside to find a dive-chic spot with occult allure, dedicated entirely to serving nonalcoholic beers, zero-proof wines, and complex cocktails and elixirs. More than that, it’s a space where long-term sober and sober-curious patrons can mingle and feel comfortable. Hear what it’s all about from founder and mixology veteran Abby Ehmann!

If you’re sober and out on the town, check out the other installments of our All Sober In series. We’re showing off our favorite spots to socialize, exercise and hang out in Portland and Chicago too!
