About Ceremony

We believe that life’s moments, from everyday rituals to extraordinary milestones, deserve to be celebrated. Whether you’re meeting a friend for a drink, discovering something new for your home bar, enjoying an intimate dinner, or marking a special occasion, Ceremony is a place to come together without alcohol being part of the equation.

You don’t have to be sober to enjoy Ceremony. You just have to appreciate good food, thoughtful drinks, and meaningful experiences.

The Nonalcoholic Bottle Shop

Our specialty bottle shop brings together a carefully curated selection of nonalcoholic wines, spirits, beers, aperitifs, and ready-to-drink cocktails from innovative producers around the world.

From sophisticated alternatives to traditional spirits and dealcoholized wines to botanical beverages and unique mixers, our collection offers something for every palate and occasion. We also carry barware and cocktail-making essentials to help bring the experience home.

Whether you’re exploring alcohol-free options for the first time or searching for a new favorite, we’re here to help you discover what’s possible beyond traditional alcoholic beverages.

The Zero-Proof Bar

At Ceremony, a cocktail is about more than the alcohol it contains.

Our nonalcoholic bar approaches mixology with the same creativity, technique, and attention to detail found in traditional craft cocktail programs. We work with premium zero-proof spirits, house-made cordials, bitters, botanicals, and carefully balanced ingredients to create drinks with complexity, character, and a sense of occasion.

From familiar classics reimagined without alcohol to original seasonal creations, our cocktail program is designed for people who appreciate the art of a well-made drink.

Pull up a seat, explore something new, and enjoy the ritual of raising a glass.

Plant-Forward Dining

Ceremony’s restaurant offers an intimate, elevated dining experience centered on seasonal ingredients, creative techniques, and thoughtful presentation.

Our rotating menu of composed small plates celebrates vegetables, fruits, grains, and other plant-based ingredients in unexpected and memorable ways. With an emphasis on vegan and vegetarian cuisine, alongside select optional protein additions, our kitchen offers a dining experience that welcomes a variety of preferences without compromising creativity or flavor.

Each dish is designed to stand on its own while inviting guests to explore multiple courses, discover new combinations, and enjoy the experience at their own pace.

Dinner is served Thursday through Saturday, from 5 PM to 9 PM. Reservations are encouraged, and walk-ins are welcome as seating permits.

Every Occasion Deserves a Ceremony

The name Ceremony reflects our belief that the moments we share give meaning to our lives.

A quick catch-up with a friend. A first date. A birthday. An anniversary. A personal milestone. Or simply an evening worth slowing down for.

These moments don’t require alcohol to feel special.

With an intimate dining room, thoughtfully crafted drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere, Ceremony is a space for connection, conversation, and celebration. Whether you’re visiting alone or gathering with people you love, there’s always a reason to make the moment count.
