If you like the fruity Bye & Bye at the Bye & Bye, request the Floor Punch which just leaves the alcohol out. Both the Bye & Bye and Sweet Hereafter have great bartenders that can put together some really lovely non-alcoholic drinks.

If your bartender is uncreative, request something with a base of ginger beer. I like getting (and making at home) a "Not-So-Dark-and-Stormy", using ginger beer, lime juice and just a little bit of molasses (which takes place of the rum flavor).

Several places now have kombucha on tap, including the Old Gold - slighty bitter and carbonated, it can often take the place of a drink.

Oh, and Portobello? Best mocktail list EVER. Creative, seasonal, and constantly changing, the bartender (who won Iron Bartender a couple years ago) puts just as much effort into the mocktail list as she does the cocktail list. Not your normal bar, but go in for a mocktail and stay for the beet tartare.

As someone that loves to drink and really appreciates a good cocktail, I spent five months last year taking a break from alcohol but not from going out. There are plenty of options in this city besides soda water and lime.
