Temperance bar

[2][5] Popular temperance drinks include cream soda, dandelion and burdock, sarsaparilla, and Vimto, among others.

[citation needed] In the past, the bars quite often asked their patrons to sign a pledge of temperance, meaning that they would abstain from intoxicating liquors; today's wave of alcohol-free bars are frequented by both teetotalers and drinkers who wish to have fun in a drink-free environment.

"[3] Fitzpatrick's Herbal Health in Rawtenstall is one of the first and original temperance bars surviving from the late 1800s, when it was established.

At their peak, the Fitzpatrick family owned 24 shops, all brewing drinks to the original recipes from Ireland.

[10] Fitzpatrick's is notable for its old copper hot water dispenser which was originally a fixture at the Astoria Ballroom in Rawtenstall.

[16][17] The Brink is also a drug-free bar, and is run by the charity Action on Addiction with support from the Big Lottery Fund.

[18][19] An alcohol-free bar named Redemption is located at the base of the Trellick Tower in North Kensington, London, England.

[3] Sobar in Nottingham is an alcohol-free bar operated by a charity, Double Impact, which works with both alcohol and drug addiction.
