Looking to socialise without the morning hangover? Why not try one of these low or no alcohol bars…

We all know that bars make for a great night out. The cheery atmosphere, the games, the people – not to mention the delicious food. And, one might say, the booze. But maybe it would be great to have a good time without the migraine. Or maybe you just don’t drink. We’ve compiled a little round-up of low and completely alcohol free bars in the UK that make booze-free drinks the star of the show.

Torstigbar, Brighton

This Brighton-based low alcohol bar is the perfect spot for a night out. At Torstigbar, alcohol free drinks aren’t just an afterthought – they’re the main event. With unique flavour combinations and mood-altering cocktails, you’ll be buzzing with excitement from the first sip.
Through colourful Nordic-inspired décor and brilliant music, the atmosphere of Torstigbar more than makes up for the pricey drinks. £8 for a non-alcoholic cocktail feels a bit stiff. Plus, they do giveaways on their Instagram for free drinks and pizzas, as well as parties, socials, and other events.
