What do you think of the trend of Mocktail bars? - eviltoast

As in bars that only serve alcohol free cocktails. There is one opening up in my city and I’m just curious of the viability of these things.

I am still a boozer myself though but I imagine if I didn’t want to drink, I probably wouldn’t be very interested in a booze less cocktail - just give me a topo chico or something.

Anyone have any thoughts on general? Does your city have any of these? I do like the idea in theory and maybe it will be nice for people to have a place to socialize in a booze free environment.

    There’s one in my city I’ve been wanting to try, though it definitely has a reputation of being a really hipstery type of place.

    Personally, my ideal bar would be a regular bar with a sizable non-alcoholic selection. (At least 3 different NA beers, a virgin margarita, a virgin strawberry daiquiri, a Shirley Temple, a virgin Screwdriver aka Orange juice + club soda, and some sparkling grape juices.)

    Focusing exclusively on people that don’t drink might not bring in enough customers unless you decide to make it an all-ages music venue or something like that.
