The new year heralds a fresh start and if one of your resolutions is a post-Christmas cleanse participating in Dry January then we're here to help you raise a glass.

From mocktails to a special non-alcoholic brew, there's still plenty of great nights out (and weekend socials) to look forward to in Exeter with our Dry January guide.

Crave

If you're craving a stylish cocktail bar with tasty Quay views then pop down to Crave and sample their delicious 'Coolers' drink menu. Fruity little numbers are the order of the day here and you can even head outside beneath the covered terrace to help blow away any new year blues.  

Taste - Virgin Garibaldi (orange juice, grapefruit, passion fruit syrup, topped with soda).

The Turk's Head

With their very own microbrewery there's always something different being concocted behind the scenes at the Turk's Head. Starting the new year as they mean to go on, their latest 0% tipple will be revealed soon so watch this space but it's sure to be a great addition to their existing alcohol free selection.

On the Waterfront

The team at On the Waterfront are renowned for their amazing pizza's and the perfect partner for those on Dry January is one of their delicious classic mocktails. Fresh and fruity, with plenty of zing, OTW also serve up an array of non-alcoholic beer, wine and cider to tempt your taste buds.

Taste - Angel’s Snare (Ceder’s non-alcoholic gin, elderflower, strawberry and lemon)

Lloyd's Lounge

Music and mocktails make for perfect companions every Friday night at Lloyd's Lounge, and you can even add some tasty tapas into the mix. Alongside the fine choice of wines, spirits, gins and cocktails, those on Dry January have their own selection of cocktails to indulge in and includes Aegean Sky & Tonic and a cheeky Wild Life Sparkling Nude Prosecco.

Taste - Midnight Sun (Salcombe Midnight Sun, cranberry and lime juice, raspberries, rose petals)

Cosy Club

Taking 'quirky' to a different level, there's no denying a trip to the Cosy Club makes for a memorable experience and this rings true of their drinks menu too. From short, sweet and spicy to notes of floral delights, their teetotal tipples will tempt even those not committed to Dry January. 

Taste - Pineapple & Rosehip Punch (Everleaf Mountain with spiced pineapple and pineapple juice)

Hotel du Vin

Brimming with charm and personality (both the hotel and its delicious drinks menu), the call of Hotel du Vin's bar will lead you to a delicious offering of creative takes on classic cocktails, that'll be the envy of all your friends.

Taste - Forest Daiquiri (Forest Everleaf, lime and honey)

The Hour Glass

Tastefully eccentric, if it's a good old fashioned pub you're seeking solace in this month then The Hour Glass will duly oblige. Just a short walk from the Quay and city centre, for a truly unforgettable night but without a sore head the next day then come along to Burns Night on Saturday 25th January. 

Taste - Guinness or Heineken 0%

Boom Battle Bar

Dry January doesn't have to be dull, especially in the company of Boom Battle Bar! Non-stop fun and games with great vibes, the non-alcoholic drinks are flowing with a selection of cocktails and bottles. You could even bin off the new year gym resolution after a work out of axe throwing, along with pool, shuffle board, crazier golf and augmented reality darts.

Taste - O-Groni (Lyre’s Dry London, Lyre’s Italian Spritz, Lyre’s Aperitif Rosso, orange)

Coolings

Licensed to chill, Coolings has its very own cocktail cellar hidden in the depths of the old Exeter passages. Their cocktail menu includes all the classics and a selection of very reasonably priced mocktails, including a choice of fruity mojitos.

Taste - Golden Sunrise (pineapple, orange, passion fruit and lime)
