Three San Diego bars make Yelp’s top 25 mocktail spots in US

SAN DIEGO — Mocktails, or non-alcoholic mixed drinks, have gained popularity over the years, according to Yelp.

The company that publishes crowd-sourced reviews about businesses recently compiled a list of the top 25 places to get a mocktail in the U.S.

Three San Diego spots found themselves on the list, including Raised by Wolves in University City (No. 5), Kindred in South Park (No. 9) and Mothership in South Park (No. 14).

In-N-Out adds new drink options to its menus

Raised by Wolves’ zero proof drink menu:

  • Hibiscus Phosphate: hibiscus gomme, acid phosphate, club soda

“As we approach Dry January, there’s a noticeable buzz on Yelp. While we’re seeing consumers increasingly search for the best spots to grab zero-proof cocktails all year round, the beginning of the year remains the most popular time,” said Tara Lewis, Yelp’s Trend Expert and VP of Community Expansion.

Yelp conducted this study by identifying trends within searches related to mocktails, comparing the searches from November 2023 to December 2022 vs. November 2022 to December 2021.
