Zero-Proof Cocktails in Chattanooga

Handcrafted herbal cocktails on the North Shore, made with medicinal plants for pleasure, nourishment, and deep satiation. Not a placeholder for alcohol, a celebration of plants on their own terms.

Plant Bar's North Shore room pours a full lineup of herbal zero-proof cocktails, MerTails and elixirs crafted in collaboration with The NOHM Collective, so the people who don't want alcohol still get a real evening at the bar.

Every drink starts with a feeling. Hydration, stimulation, relaxation, exhalation, circulation. Tell the herb-tender how you want to feel and they'll guide you through the menu and pour you something that actually does something. Sober-curious, fully sober, pregnant, on medication, or just out for a clear morning, you're taken seriously here.

MerTails, elixirs, and a different kind of bar

Our MerTails are the full NOHM Collective lineup, five herbal zero-proof cocktails, each one a synergistic blend of organic herbs, adaptogens, and pressed juice designed to support a different feeling. Hydration MerTini for clean restoration. Relaxation MerGarita to settle the nervous system. Circulation MerMosa to wake the body up. Order short or tall at the bar, or take a bottle of concentrate home to mix into whatever you're already drinking, with or without alcohol.

Alongside the MerTails sits our elixir menu, herb-focused potions rooted in locally, ethically, and organically sourced ingredients. Some are classics reimagined, some are entirely our own. All of them are crafted with the same NOHM partnership and the same belief that a great drink can be genuinely nourishing.

We don't believe herbs are one-size-fits-all, so the bar is conversational by design. Our herb-tenders are trained to ask, to listen, and to help you land on something that fits your constitution and your craving. Ask the questions. That's the point.
