If you're looking for a different kind of buzz, whether sober or sober-curious, a new bar in the West Loop debuting this weekend should be on your radar. On Saturday, February 28, Heritage Hospitality Group, the team behind Froth, will launch Bar None, a THC-infused, zero-proof evening concept in The Duncan.
Froth, the coffee and social lounge, is flipping the script on what a night out can look like. Instead of vodka sodas and IPAs, Bar None is built around premium alcohol-free cocktails and hemp-derived THC microdoses. It will run Friday through Sunday from 5pm to 11pm, transforming the daytime café into a sleek after-dark hangout.
Behind the bar, beverage director Luke Nevin-Gattle, whose resumé includes Bunker and Larry’s, treats zero-proof cocktails with the same seriousness as any classic program. The menu includes alcohol-free espresso martinis with real depth, spicy margaritas that actually bring heat and gold rushes layered with premium spirit alternatives. For an extra lift, you can add a 2.5mg hemp-derived THC microdose to any drink. The fast-acting, flavorless drops are designed to offer a controlled, functional buzz.
The menu also pulls in cult favorites and thoughtful imports like the the bitter, botanical St. Agrestis Phony Negroni, non-alcoholic wines from Leitz and Guinness 0 for those who want the ritual of a pint without the after-effects. Rotating THC seltzers, including Wynk, round things out.
The vibe is sophisticated and just as sleek as any other intimate cocktail lounge, focused on social connection and conversation. While it's missing the alcohol haze, Bar None still offers an elevated nightlife experience.
“We’re not removing something from nightlife,” says founder Michael Salvatore. “We’re building something entirely new.”
In a city known for its taverns and late nights, Bar None is a new option for a different kind of night out.
