Alcohol-free bar with unique psychoactive plant mocktails
"This spot has experimented with adaptogens and similar ingredients, prompting the writer to call out: "Kanna, blue lotus, all of that. The stuff that’s less well known than THC and CBD," as an area they'd like to see more culinary play with going forward." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Taano is an alcohol-free bar opening on East 6th Street. Austin has had a handful of NA spots spring up over the years, but while most of them have operated on select nights, Taano is open seven days a week. In addition to alcohol-free beer, wine, and spirits, they’ll also have a few cocktails made with (legal) psychoactive plants to simulate a little “buzz.” " - nicolai mccrary
"Opened August 15 as a spin-off of an Austin-based nonalcoholic beverage company, this food-truck bar at 1109 East Sixth Street in East Austin reimagines social drinking by incorporating legal psychoactive plants into mocktails and classic-style cocktails. The menu updates familiar cocktails with botanicals such as kava, kanna, amanita muscaria (fly agaric), and blue lotus to promote relaxation, euphoria, and social connection without alcohol's effects; highlights include an Egyptian Mule (blue lotus, a cucumber-ginger-serrano nonalcoholic spirit, ginger beer, lime, and simple syrup) and a Molly Martini (kanna, espresso, nonalcoholic coffee liqueur, nonalcoholic white rum syrup, and vanilla). Founded by University of Texas professor Geoff Smith and Joe Wes after forming their company in late 2023 and developed with mixologist Shaun Meglen, the concept aims to offer a familiar yet inviting atmosphere focused on sustainable, healthy, hangover-free plant-based options. The truck provides ample shaded seating, a selection of traditional nonalcoholic beers, wines, and spirits, plans for events ranging from academic lectures to DJ sets, and operates daily from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m." - Darcie Duttweiler
