Let's be honest, Hyderabad's nightlife has always been big on cocktails, craft spirits, and rooftop bars with a buzz. But lately, there's a refreshing shift happening. More people are going out for the vibe, the music, and the food, without necessarily reaching for a drink. And Hyderabad's best bars are catching on. From experimental restaurants to cool hangout bars, zero-proof cocktails and mocktails are finally getting the attention they deserve. Here's a list of Hyderabad's most happening places where you can skip the alcohol, keep the glass fancy, and still have a great night out with sober cocktails.
Buzz-Free, But Never Boring: Go Here For Sober Cocktails In Hyderabad
Overview
Check Out These Places In Hyderabad For Sober Cocktails
Dokii Dokii
If you think mocktails are just sugary substitutes, Dokii Dokii in Jubilee Hills is here to change your mind. This Asian-fusion hotspot is shaking up the city’s bar scene with zero-alcohol drinks that pack all the flavour, drama, and finesse of the real deal, minus the buzz. Their zero-proof cocktails are cheeky, layered, and surprisingly complex, like the fiery Maple Me Crazy, where jalapeno heat meets maple sweetness. The vibe? Playful yet chic with neon accents, lush garden views, and clinking glasses over plates of sushi, dim sums, and fusion bites for your booze-free gastro-adventures.

Oxymorons
Speaking of gastro-adventures, this cocktail lab has the vibe of a moody underground speakeasy and it’s the next “it spot” of Hyderabad. Amber lights, minimalist decor, and bartenders who look more like alchemists than mixologists, we had a great experience trying out their limited but fantastic menu. While their experimental cocktails get most of the spotlight, the real magic lies behind the bar counter, where these folks are known to whip up zero-alcohol versions of their iconic creations. Ask for a sober creation, and they’ll mix you something that doesn’t feel repetitive, think zero-proof gin and agave-inspired pours. Pair them with quirky bar bites like curry-podi fries, beetroot sundal, and egg sandos, and you’ve got an evening that tastes grown-up without the buzz.
Our Picks: Mango Lavender Highball, Passion Fruit Jalapeno Rickey

Tevar - The Progressive Indian Kitchen & Bar
If you love places that feel fancy without being stiff, Tevar in Hitech City should be on your list. This place has a moody, modern-Indian vibe with lots of warm gold lighting, dark wood, patterned tiles, and a bar that instantly pulls you in. That said, this place is equally fun for the sober gang with their sober, zero-alcohol, cocktail menu. With three signature drinks, Tevar’s bartenders clearly don’t believe in the boring – there’s the Junoon for the nostalgic mixed fruit taste, Moksha for the lemony zest, and Shrifal Julep with a tropical punch. And with great food like tandoori chicken bao, chili cheese kulcha, and ghee roast tacos, it’s the perfect spot for when you want a stylish night out without a hangover the next morning.
Our Picks: Junoon, Moksha, Shrifal Julep

Chamkeela The Cocktail House
Chamkeela in Jubilee Hills is one of those places that instantly feels like everyone’s weekend spot. It’s got a warm, easy vibe with lots of greenery, golden lights, and a mix of indoor and outdoor seating that makes it work for a casual catch up or a date night. The decor is stylish, chill, and the bar setup is definitely photo-worthy. On the menu, you’ll find thecha paneer tikka, sabudana punugulu, and naan sliders sitting right next to drinks inspired by gemstones, even if you’re skipping alcohol. The bartenders are happy to whip up zero-proof versions that look and taste just as good as the originals. Choose from Cool Down Spritzer, a mix of cool cucumber, floral lavender, and zesty citrus, Floral Fizz with hibiscus notes, Tropical Litchi Colada that tastes like fruit punch, and Mango Lemonade, that’s pretty self explanatory.

Babylon Bar & Kitchen
For anyone who has been on the hunt for sober cocktails in Hyderabad, Babylon Bar & Kitchen is an easy win. This Jubilee Hills favourite doesn’t treat zero-proof like an afterthought; they’re equally creative and flavourful like cocktails. If you like a refreshing mojito, their Blue Lemonade No. 1 and Hibiscus Lemonade No. 2 will suit you. Other options lean fruity with the most ordered Roller Coaster (green apple juice, grapefruit juice, ginger, honey, and basil) and our pick Edos with a pepper-y and spicy punch. All of these go hand in hand with their global and local comfort food menu with crowd favourites – mutton ghee roast, bheema royyala vepudu, and Turkish kebabs.

Last Saturday
Last Saturday is that kind of a place where the energy is high, but the drinks don’t have to be limited to that. The lights are dim in all the right ways, the music makes you want to stay a little longer, and just like the boozy drinks, the mocktails actually slap. Forget the usual sugary, neon-y drinks, the bartenders here craft non-alcoholic drinks that taste amazing. We tried the Velvet Crown and loved the citrusy and rosy flavors, Peaky Plum which surprised us with guava notes, and House Of Gold that blends pineapples and salted caramel ice cream. We told you they’re different. The food pairs well for the vibe, too. Think small plates, sliders, and fusion bowls that keep things easy and fun.
Our Picks: Velvet Crown, Peaky Plum, House Of Gold

Peanuts
If you know Peanuts for its karaoke nights or those packed weekend DJ sets, here’s a fun twist – you don’t have to have a boozy drink in hand to enjoy the place. Their zero proof drinks are just as fun, vibrant, and conversation-starting as anything from the regular bar menu. You can ask for the pick of day or choose from the options on the menu, ranging from Kiwi Splash to Coco Breeze. Our pick? Repeat order for the Khatti Keri. The vibe here hits a sweet spot between retro and modern, like an old-school Mumbai cafe aesthetic meets Hyderabadi crowd, and that applies to the food menu too. You’ll find everything from fettuccine pesto and Maggie to chole kulche sliders.
Our Picks: Kiwi Splash, Coco Breeze, Khatti Keri

One8 Commune
What really caught our attention at One8 Commune was their lineup of limited mocktails. Because yes, even at one of Hyderabad’s trendier spots, you don’t have to compromise if you’re skipping alcohol. Try the Asian Chakra for strong citrusy and khatta punch, Rose Love that looks as good as it tastes, and One8 Lemonade for that extra kick if lemon. The food is also not limited to bar snacks and you can actually fill yourself with global and local dishes with a touch of Hyderabadi influence. Depending on when you go, you might also find seasonal mocktails for a limited time.
Our Picks: Asian Chakra, Rose Love, One8 Lemonade

Forefathers
Who would’ve thought a place as swanky as Forefathers would be serving up some seriously good zero-proof drinks in Hyderabad? It’s the kind of spot that looks straight out of a movie set with a terracotta roof, exposed brick walls, and warm, moody lighting that screams personality. You’d expect it to be all about cocktails and fine dining, but the surprise is how much attention they give to the sober side of things. With Teetotallers Negroni, Pineapple Picante, and Not A Colada, you won’t feel left out if your mates are chugging down alcoholic drinks. Plus, you have more mocktail options that are herb-infused, tropical, and all sorts of tangy for a palate cleanse. The food is global meets Indian, so no complaints there.

Aidu
Whatever the folks at Aidu prepare, it reads like a love letter to flavour, with a South Indian twist that makes every drink feel fresh and rooted. Take the Mysore Maharaja, for example. It’s nannari root mixed with coconut water for a tropical, earthy refresher. Or the Mango Kulukki Sharbat, a clear mango juice with basil seeds and a hint of yellow chili for that perfect sweet-spicy kick. The Sampradhayani, with panakam, lemon, sugar, and mint is pure nostalgia served chilled, while Pachainadanam brings together coconut, lavender, and ginger soda. If you couldn’t tell, we’re super impressed by the mocktails here. The space itself relaxes you with a cosy vibe, so you’re comfy and hydrated.
Our Picks: Mysore Maharaja, Mango Kulukki, The Sampradhayani, Pachainadanam
