Alcohol-free in Salem this October

Salem spends all of October on Halloween, and you don’t need alcohol to join in. 11 places in Salem have drinks made without it on menus we’ve checked: mocktails, NA beer and NA wine, never just a soda or a glass of water. Here they are by area, on foot, each with its drinks, prices as the menu prints them and the day we read it.

The Weekly Hop. Every Thursday: new places, drinks worth ordering, weekend plans. A two-minute read.

How places get on this page

A drink is here when we’ve confirmed it on the place’s own menu: either the place’s whole menu passed every strict check we run, or a menu read this October confirmed the drink, two independent readings agreeing or an owner looking and approving it. A seasonal menu, Halloween’s included, never passes the whole-menu check, so for a place on one we list only the drinks a menu read confirmed. Every drink is made as an alternative to alcohol, by name: a mocktail, an NA beer, wine or spirit. A soda, water or a menu heading doesn’t count. Names and prices are as the menu prints them, each with the day it was read, worded as on the place’s own page. Areas are placed by street address. A place that may have closed, or whose menu we can’t re-check, steps off until it’s checked again, and new places join as their menus are confirmed. How we score menus.
