What makes this place special is both the variety and quality of options. Earlier this year we picked up a bottle of "champagne" for the NYE ball drop and some Athletic NA beers to enjoy throughout the night. They carry a wide variety of special Athletic flavors, including a few inspired by cocktails like a Paloma and Moscow mule. It's a refreshing change from the limited non-alcoholic options you usually find everywhere else. I've gone from buying Athletics for myself here to picking up different things to share with friends. I definitely want to come back and make a cocktail with their bitters next. In the meantime, what I have purchased here has been worth recommending. read more

Minus Moonshine is such a special gem. This non-alcoholic liquor store has a huge selection of de-alcoholized wines, bitters, canned cocktails, and more! I was honestly overwhelmed, in the best way. The owner, Aqxyl, explained each section of product in the store to us, and was so lovely to chat with. They have such an inspiring story and were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about every product in the shop. Aqxyl took the time to learn what we were celebrating and helped us pick the perfect non-alcoholic champagne to toast my first day of work, and it was amazing! The shop has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and you can tell a lot of care goes into curating the selection. If you're looking for a thoughtful gift, a fun treat for yourself, or a way to celebrate without alcohol, this place is a must-visit. Check it out! read more

This store is great! I found out about it while looking for mocktails at a liquor store nearby. The lady inside was so nice and educated me on the different types of adaptogens and was very knowledgeable about the selections. It's a cute little spot and I'll definitely be back as a sober-curious individual. read more

I saw this place on a TikTok account I follow and I was surprised I never heard of this place prior. The account owner is focused on sober options and even though that is not my lifestyle. I believe it should be cool to check for the future or just to be a more flexible host in the future. It is not the biggest space but they make do, filling the space with many options. If you go out to restaurants and look at the beverage menu, some of the non alcoholic brands they list are present in the store (Ghia, athletic brewing company, etc.). The variety ranges from dealcoholized wines, low abv beers, mixers, nonalcoholic spirits and similar. The person at the register was super nice and helpful to me and others in finding choices we may like. For the drinks they have tried, they weee descriptive in why you may like it (or not). And they also were knowledgeable in terms of the effects of some (mushrooms, THC, etc.) My one sad point is that at the time there were only a few single can/bottle choices so that you don't have to buy a 4 or 6 pack to taste something new. But they apparently have tastings as shown on the board outside. There is a $10 card minimum and you have to be 21+ to buy beverages since some are just low in alcohol. Overall, this is a place I can recommend to friends who are interested in delving more into the sober lifestyle. read more

Wanna do a dry January but know you may wanna a cocktail after a long day of adulting and you don't want to go outside and spend more of that hard earn adult money? Come here!! I stopped in a few times last year and got alcohol free can drinks that were really great. However, this time I wanted to get an alcohol free gin so I can make my G&T's or a gimlet. The owner of the spot, Aqxyl (Axel) was super cool. They even got my Beverley Hills Cop reference when we spoke...LOL! Anywho, they gave me a tasting of about 4 different brands of alcohol free gin. I loved the customer service. I ended up getting one their favs...Bare Zero Proof. I've already made my 1st G&T and I was definitely thinking that it couldn't be alcohol free. Very happy to make this place my go to for all things alcohol free. read more

Minus Moonshine - Beverage Store Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Neighborhood gem!!! Absolutely nothing that is not stellar about this place - the selection of quality, great-tasting, alcohol-free spirits is unmatched! And the owner, Aqxyl, is incredibly helpful and has great taste! As I'm a newb to the alcohol-free spirits world, she had the patience and kindness to answer my barrage of questions. I bought a wide selection of beverages to try and I loved every single one!! Highly recommend this place and this course of action if you are getting older like me and your body can't keep up with the after-effects of alcohol anymore. read more

Wandered into this gorgeous little storefront on a Friday evening and was greeted by the cutest store dog, Ruby, ever! The owner, Apryl, was around to show us some recommendations and we purchased some dry kombucha and IPAs. There are some really interesting mixers here, such as sparkling cactus water and jalapeño and blood orange! Overall, a lovely queer-owned space that is very welcoming and knowledgeable about non-alcoholic beverages. read more

Minus Moonshine is an absolute local favorite of mine! They are such a wonderful part of the community here! Don't let the store size fool you! There are endless non-alchoholic selections packed into this cozy shop -- wines, beers, spritzes, ciders, spirits, cocktail mixers... Minus Moonshine has it all! I always find something new and surprising everytime I stop in (and I stop in a lot!). The staff are unbelievably welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable and Minus Moonshine has tasting events (and in-store sampling if you ask) so you can try different things out and get to know new products before purchasing. I really can't say enough wonderful things about Minus Moonshine! The shop and the team are such prized gems in our community! read more

What a weird place!!! Everyone should go here. There really are so many potions that you've never seen before. I'm going to try every non-alcoholic rosé here. We got a gingery minty kombucha-like Moscow mule imitation, and I think it made me funny and cool? Beyond that, it just tasted good. Ruby the dog hangs out inside and is an absolute joy to behold. The owner is also great! They're kind and helpful and seem to be brimming with the light of a thousand potions. Cannot wait to come to some weekend tastings! Who needs alcohol! Maybe I'm sober now?! Wow Just such great vibes all around. Go get a non-alcoholic stout six pack for your friend who's been drinking too much and welcome this place to the neighborhood! read more

Had such a fun time shopping here before moving out of NYC. I came in quickly to stock my new bar, and the staff mobilized to help me find what I needed. I was able to try lots of samples and get expert pairings - it was such a nice experience, and sad that I'll be leaving New York and won't be able to visit for a while. 10000% recommend if you're looking for a change in what you're drinking. Exceptional staff and options! read more

What a darling shop! Everyone who works has been delightful and helpful. I never feel pressure and am comfortable asking questions. The selection of different types of non alcoholic beverages are fantastic. Such variety! Lots of tastings to try before you buy. I love this space and concept.

The best NA bottle shop in NYC! I've been going to these place since they started opening in 2020, and this one has the BEST selection, with a bonus that it's NOT snooty and weird to go into. Some of the others have these like awkward try-hard upscale vibes... you know what I mean. This one is just friendly, normal, helpful, happy. I love that they're in my neighborhood!! read more

Best N/A store, so many great options! Whether you are sober or not, looking for something to replace booze or no, this spot has something for you. It's also a great community vibe. read more

Such a great little shop. And absolutely fantastic (and huge) selection of anything and everything alcohol-free. All staff I've interacted with have been so helpful and kind, and totally willing to answer my many questions! Great tastings on the weekends.

My husband and I just popped into this store and are excited to try a selection of non-alcoholic beer and CBD infused seltzers! They have lots of options including n/a spirits and wine. We met the owners and they gave us some recommendations. It's so nice to see a store like this that we don't have to travel to Manhattan to find! read more

Great shop for trying new flavors of non-alcoholic drinks. Owner was super helpful in coming up with suggestions. Tried a new drink/flavor that I would have never picked up by myself; was tasty! looking forward to trying a another new drink soon! read more

So happy this store opened up near us! Full disclosure: I enjoy "the drink" but don't enjoy how it makes me feel the day after. This store sells all sorts of beverages that will make your tastebuds sing without the hangover. :) If you've been following NA craft beverages over the past few years, it's likely that you'll find everything you've seen online at this store and then some, which is awesome! My personal favorite are the HopTeas but I'm excited to try more. Cheers! read more
