Downtown is one of the easier corners of Austin to spend an evening without drinking. The venues below all offer something more considered than a soda water — whether that's a full zero-proof cocktail list, a room that serves no alcohol at all, or simply a place where nobody blinks when you order something else.
Because everything here sits in the same neighborhood, it's straightforward to build a whole night from this list — coffee early, dinner, then somewhere with a proper non-alcoholic menu — without moving the car.
