Data Sources

Here's exactly how a venue ends up on Find Me Non-Alcoholic, and what we do and don't check.

1. Finding candidates

We search public business listings (Google Places) in each city for terms like “mocktail,” “zero-proof,” “non-alcoholic beer,” and “alcohol-free bar.” Those searches return lots of places that don't really fit, so nothing goes live from this step alone.

2. Checking for real NA options

For each candidate we review the venue's own website and menu plus public customer reviews, looking for specific evidence such as a named mocktail or zero-proof menu, NA beer on tap or in the fridge, or a shop that specializes in alcohol-free drinks. A venue is listed only if that evidence exists. We sort listed venues into three groups:

• Alcohol-free bar: the whole bar is non-alcoholic
• NA bottle shop: a shop focused on non-alcoholic beer, wine, and spirits
• Real NA menu: a regular bar or restaurant with a dedicated non-alcoholic menu

This check is automated and then spot-checked by hand. We don't visit every venue, and we don't contact every business.

3. Writing the listing

Listing descriptions only mention drinks, brands, and details we found evidence for. Each listing shows the date it was last checked.

Limitations

Menus, hours, and stock change often. If a non-alcoholic option matters for your plans, call ahead.
