Kolkata, a city known for its innovative cuisine and vibrant pub scene, is currently welcoming a new trend. One where having fun isn't dependent on drinking. Mocktails are as creative as the food they go with, and the emergence of alcohol-free bars fits in perfectly with the city's changing social rhythm. The emphasis on mental clarity, wellness, and inclusivity has increased demand for sophisticated cocktail substitutes. The ‘sober curious’ movement, amplified by social media and wellness influencers, has also played a crucial role in encouraging people to rethink their relationship with alcohol, proving that in Kolkata, the good times flow even without the buzz. And so, we have curated a list of 10 bars and restaurants where these sober cocktails take centre stage. Read on to know more!

Burma Burma
Burma Burma on Park Street, which serves authentic Burmese flavours, has to be on your list. Apart from being the only spot for yummy Burmese delicacies, this restaurant has drinks that are just fantastic conversation starters. The Kaffir lime cooler, unlike most mocktails, is refreshing and not too sugary. It also contains a surprising ingredient that gives each sip a unique twist. The Scarlet Noble cooler, which features a vivid crimson colour with notes of hibiscus, grapefruit, and ginger ale, is another one that you will like. You can start the summer off right with either of these drinks. Another noteworthy feature for the Chaa devotees is the Burma Burma tea blend. First of all, the tea is prepared artistically in a beautiful translucent teapot directly on our table. It comes with several tasty and crunchy cookies.
Timings: 12 PM – 3:30 PM and 6 PM – 11 PM

Pico - Pizzeria & Coffee Bar
Entering this small cafe in the lane next to Oudh 1590 will bring you a little piece of Italian pleasure. This sounds a little strange — strong, rich espresso combined with fresh, sweet orange juice? But, believe us, some people enjoy it, and you might too. The first sip of Orange Coffee is kind of wild — the bitter coffee and orange flavour somehow simply go together—and it looks extremely intriguing with the layers.
