Five places to get a mocktail during Dry July
Posted on
Ever thought about trying out Dry July? Because we have and we’ve brought to you our top five favourite mocktail destinations.
Dry July is an incredible non-for-profit Australian organisation that encourages people to give up alcohol to raise money for cancer patients.
Whether you are cutting alcohol out indefinitely, want a short break, participating in Dry July or anything in between; taking alcohol out of the occasion doesn’t mean sacrificing a good night out. Here’s where you can go in Canberra for a good mocktail.
Bar Beirut (City)

Bar Beirut is committed to bringing a Middle Eastern yearning for fun and Parisian insistence for perfection to one place. Imagine: belly dancing, a modern blend of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine and of course, mocktails!
Bar Beirut’s staff are committed to serving good drinks and a good time which saw them receive the AHA’s best cocktail bar award for two consecutive years. The Yuzumi (pictured) is a citrusy blend of perfection and my personal favourite but there’s a large selection to choose from.

Non-alcoholic twists on our favourite classic cocktails? We’ll be there. This mojito is also available as a virgin mojito, but there are plenty of options available. They also have some fun events happening, like their ‘mix it up cocktail classes’ and ‘Latin Tuesdays’ so make sure you check them out for your next night out!

Luna (Civic)

From dusk till dawn, drink, eat and play at Luna, with a range of delicious mocktails that taste like an Italian summer in a glass. Although July will be a cold month for us here in Canberra, we can pretend we are living the Italian summer of our dreams. Have a night to remember sipping their signature mocktails while dancing the night away.

Midnight Bar is the ultimate backdrop for your Instagram, with a golden hour special (4 pm to 6 pm), live music and the most delicious range of cocktails and mocktails… cheers! We recommend the Mango Martini, which is a sweet, fruity mocktail for mango lovers.
