During Seattle Restaurant Week, find more ways to celebrate craft beverages, with or without the alcohol. A 2023 Gallup poll revealed that 38% of Americans don’t drink alcohol — that’s a large number of potentially underserved people. But there’s never been a better time to explore the world of nonalcoholic drinks than now, especially since companies in Washington and Oregon have been emerging as leaders in the industry over the last few years. 

Oregon-based Wilderton has an impressive line of spirits (including the award-winning Earthen), and Seattle-based The Pathfinder Hemp & Root quickly became a bartender’s favorite — its herbaceous and complex flavor is a perfect amaro substitute. Other locally made beverages to look out for include: woman-owned Joyous nonalcoholic wines; and Bend, Oregon-based Altitude beverages, made with magnesium, L-Theanine, and Lions Mane. 

For those looking to skip the alcohol during Seattle Restaurant Week, check out our list below for venues with dedicated nonalcoholic beverages, and listings of restaurants that carry additional specialty non alcoholic drinks.

They explain, “It is really important for us to be a neighborhood place – that means introducing the neighborhood to the incredible drinks the world has to offer. We want everyone who comes through our doors to have the possibility of a quality cocktail, regardless of whether they want alcohol or not. We’re really grateful that so many producers have taken to the task of creating new and interesting NA Spirits that can augment anyone’s night out. We hope that everyone who comes through our doors finds something that speaks to them – from the hospitality to the food to the drink, at every step of the way we want every guest to feel that we’re here for them.”
