This place has been on my radar for a while -- so happy that I finally tried it and so appreciate that a nonalcoholic bar even exists. The TBF is the perfect mocktail for sweet drink connoisseurs. The Sweet & Sour lives up to its name cause of the tartness. Both drinks were super refreshing. I need to come back and try their coffee drinks. read more

I had the worst experience here. I was here for a event and the manager and bartender was very obnoxious and had horrible attitudes. I didn't even stick around for the event. I will Never come here ever again read more

So went here I believe was Sunday afternoon and I loved it!! Im a light drinker so I can't really handle much alcohol and I had a couple drinks previous day so came here with a friend who suggested this place! I love that everything they have here is all non alcoholic. I tried two different drinks the first one was more like a fresh juice and the 2nd one had the bitter so gave a taste like drinking whiskey lol. The bar tender was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She explained how some of the drinks on the menu are created by the bartenders and they have named them which was very creative and interesting!! It's very nice cozy inside and outside seating place. Will be back soon!! read more

Thrilled to have stumbled upon this gem. As a kava lover, this was a fabulous find, offering a variety of kava options. Incredible mocktails and tea blends, too! Very knowledgable and kind bartender in a relaxing and welcoming environment. read more

Solid, cozy place to chill with friends, meet up for a date, or just read a book in the afternoon. The drinks are good, just remember they're ALL mocktails! It's a small bar but has a few tables and lots of bar seating. There was only one bartender (wasn't busy), who was nice and helped explain a lot of the menu. They have decks of tarot cards at the bar, and we tried to do one ourselves before realizing they also had actual tarot card readings, which we did not do. For drinks our group got the healer, piña colada, French 75, and cold brew martini. Everyone liked their drinks, but the French 75 had an interesting after taste (my friend described it as peppercorn-y?) The healer needed to be mixed/drink with a straw but I thought it was a refreshing lavender lemonade type drink. The pina colada had more coconut that pineapple, but still good. Didn't get to try the cold brew, but my friend enjoyed it. If I lived closer and did not drink alcohol, I might come back, but it's just not really my cup of tea (which they also serve, along with coffee :) ). Service, ambience, and drinks were good though so no complaints! read more

We went to the Third Space sobercurious pop-up at Hekate for St. Paddy's this year --it was such a blast! The holidays specials were completely alcohol free and with such a wide variety of options because just an overly sweet virgin mojito. The bartenders were super fun and handled the holiday rush so well! Perfect way to celebrate the holiday as a non-drinking New Yorker read more

Great place to meet friends for conversation. Quiet yet engaging, and the elixirs are so delicious!

Nice comunity, nice staff, nice vibe! Trans friendly Really good! read more

Hekate wasn't that great! I was really expecting better. The decor and aesthetics of this shop is really nice, but that's pretty much it. The cafe gives very homey and cozy vibes that is witch themed. However, I didn't like the mocktails that they provided. It was very VERY over priced for the portion size. Also the mocktail didn't have much flavor to it. It tasted like water and very bland with a lack of flavor to it. There could have also been a lot more drinks to try. I should have gone with the tea which was a lot more affordable than the mocktail. The server was ok, he wasn't too attentive when we went. But he was really nice after we started talking to him, and he was able to open up. Price: $14.13 Rating: 4/10 read more

We decided to be contrarian on Saint Patrick's Day and spend the night at this mocktail bar while the world outside us got drunk. The vibes are amazing here, with hip, friendly staff and fun, kooky decor. Try The Flower Shop for fruity, floral fun, or the Almond Joy to channel your inner Ovaltine-loving grandma. The only miss for us was the Pina Colada, which does not taste like your virgin Pina Colada from Red Lobster. But I think it's more of a branding thing, and they should just rename this drink Pineapple & Co or something. It actually tastes nice, it just doesn't taste like a Pina C. read more

Bartender was very attentive and kind. Drinks taste super amazing! I had the mulled wine and it was the perfect drink for a bitterly cold day. Cozy atmosphere too! read more

I'll sometimes stop here for tea, and their staff is always exceptional. They also offer tarot readings and Rae gave great insight. Overall, the vibes here are very welcoming. One of my favorite spots in the city! read more

We went here for a listening party and it was quite comfortable with 7 people. The bartender Eliot crafts the finest Mocktails I've ever had. Great ambience and I'll definitely be back! read more

Such a great spot!!!! I've been alcohol free for 5 years now and finally made it in. My old fashioned was INCREDIBLE. The bartender said they make the whiskey blend themselves and lord was it good. Also had a great mezcal whiskey concoction but the old fashioned was my favorite. read more

Very cute "bar" with a great concept. I love a good mocktail and I appreciate the thought behind a social spot without any alcohol. I met two friends here for drinks on a Tuesday evening and we had a great time. I was about 30 minutes early, because when am I not dumb early? I got a drink at the bar and waited for my friends to arrive. We all had one round, as we had dinner plans after. I had a "whiskey sour" and it was tasty. Doesn't beat the real thing, but definitely thirst quenching. read more

If you're looking for a place that serves great coffee creations and amazing non-alcoholic cocktails, this is the place. I wouldn't call them "mocktails" because those are weak. These NA drinks pack a flavorful punch that'll have you second guessing. Plus the ambiance is beyond chill. A really great hidden gem. read more

This place is amazing. My wife and I loved it. Before our trip, I specifically looked up non-alcoholic cocktails and was delighted to find out Hekate existed. I recommend just telling the bartender a flavor you're in the mood for and let them do their magic. We'll definitely visit again when we're back in the city. read more

I was impressed with the mocktail I had! It was tasty and not too sweet which I often find to be an issue with mocktails. The server was super helpful and knowledgeable. The staff was also chatting with people who came in and it seemed like a neighborhood spot which I love. read more

I'm sure sober people come here often but this is a PREGNANT LADY PLAYGROUND! They can enjoy perfect and thoughtfully crafted cocktails without the booze. I took my expecting sister here and she was so appreciative. This bar is awesome. read more

Word has gotten across that this is an up and coming mocktail / sober bar. It is a pretty neat concept, with a witch theme throughout the bar, but the execution needs a lot of improvement. There is decent amount of table seating as well as bar seating, though it was full house around 4pm on a Saturday. The mocktails are priced just a tiny bit less than the standard cocktails in the area, so I have high expectations. I ordered the Healer drink ($12) and it was mediocre at best. There are notes of lavender with a slight hit of carbonation, but there are very small amounts of lemonade to make this a sophisticated mocktail as described on the menu. Additionally, the bartender forgot the garnish that is the signature flair of the drink, until I reminded him. A lot of the preparation is haphazard - the craft is just not there as opposed to the bartenders putting on a mini show to impress customers - just using a spoon to mix and barely any effort. He just tossed the rosemary garnish to the drink haphazardly, though he later corrected it but that involved touching the drink. Additionally, it looks like people around me were somewhat impatient, masked by conversation, so I lucked out that the drink "only" took 15 min to make, compared to who knows how long the others took. The party beside me had to leave, possibly because of the unexpected time it takes for the drinks to be prepared. If they could hire another bartender or have a more efficient system of first in first out order type, then this place would have been better. Otherwise, it is a pass for me, but it was nice to see they are inclusive in that this allows people that cannot drink or want to cut alcohol to still be able to enjoy the bar vibes. read more

Came here with a group of 9, which was a lot to accommodate since the space is pretty small. However the bartender and tarot reader helped us put together a little setup in the back so that all 9 of us could be together and chat. It was my sister's birthday and the tarot reader gave her a free reading. They had a large variety of drinks to choose from. Most of the party enjoyed their drinks! read more

I'm so beyond happy this place opened up in the neighborhood. I went to check it out ahead of time for a girls night, and the whole place is just to die for. I love the decor and various paintings and witchy items for sale, they have various mocktails, teas, and coffees, and are right next door to a great spiritual shop called Enchantments. The staff is very nice, and this was honestly one of the best coffees I've had. I can't wait to come back for more! read more

My teenage son and I stopped in randomly while walking by the other day. Kathleen was great. She made him a custom drink. Fun conversation. Memorable experience. Highly recommend. read more

I really enjoyed the vibe of this place as a person who does not and actually cannot drink alcohol. I have greatly missed the feeling of going to a bar and enjoying a fancy drink. I had a pina colada and spritz drink and both were great, especially the pina colada. Staff were very friendly - I think they were the best part of the place. A friend and I also enjoyed scarily accurate and hilarious tarot readings. Great for Halloween or just any time, really. read more

Drinks were delicious, vibe was phenomenal. Seating is limited but folks are nice about making room when / if they can. Absolutely one of my new NYC faves. read more

Very unique selections, sweet service, great atmosphere, off the beaten path with limited seating. Cocktails, mocktails and healthy elixirs available. Wonderful experience, recommend. read more

Had a fantastic time at this cozy space last night. Loved looking at the artwork and the decor. Really enjoying trying a variety of mocktails, elixirs and dealcoholized wine. Would definitely go back. read more

Was very excited to try a non-alcoholic bar. Unfortunately the guy working was not up to the task of making anything. He mostly chatted with others and acted overwhelmed even though the place was not busy. Very disappointing, seems like a cool spot with potential. read more

they have great drinks and the staff is lovely. But, I will warn you to avoid getting any tarot reading from Francesco Salomoni. He is a great bullshitter, will barely tell you anything, you have to ask several questions to get anything out of him. He will charge you a minimum of $35 for a shitty reading!! On a good note, I highly recommend getting a reading from Tasha Santos. She is amazing and never fails to be accurate! read more

New little cafe serving Brooklyn Roasting Company coffee. Great coffee, nice bar-style seating inside (I think there were some tables as well), and near Tompkins Square Park. Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

My friend and I had a less than good experience here. I am sober and so when visiting NYC and looking for a sober bar, I was very interested in this place. Unfortunately, it did not feel like a bar/lounge at all. It was extremely bright in there, the music would cut out for several minutes and we would be in silence, and the service was SO slow. The menu (and reviews) specifically say, "if you're not sure what you want, tell the bartender what flavors you like and let them work their magic" (or something of that nature), so of course that is what we tried to do. The bartender was confused and unhelpful and then proceeded to just point us to the menu to pick something. The drinks were fine, but I would much rather go to a regular bar and just try to order a mocktail from there... read more

Great place. I'm not fond of alcohol. I was just glad to find out about a bar that served non-alcoholic drinks, but this place has exceeded my expectations. The vibe is very comfortable and cozy and quiet enough to have a decent conversation without shouting. I would call it a step up in sophistication from all the other alcohol-serving bars. Highly recommend. read more

Coffee all day. Elixirs and herb-infused libations at night. Lots of live events. Across the street from sister venue, Lucky.

I still can't get over how fabulous it is to have a sober witch bar in NYC, specifically the East Village. Shout out to Netty for keeping it real and providing magical company. I tried The Healer and The Empress and both were super delicious (!!!). I can't wait to come back here and try more elixirs. read more

This place is a kick. friendliest reception I've ever gotten at an NYC place. Nettie, the bartender, is an absolute delight--funny, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable about the offerings. Got to meet a really friendly brewery rep offering samples of a seriouslook good NA pilsener, a Tarot card reader who's fluent in Latin, and the artist whose fabulous animal/human portraits adorn the walls. I gave up drinking a while ago, and this place makes me glad I did. I never would have found it otherwise. read more
