The scene has caught up: look for zero-proof cocktail menus at cocktail bars, sober-friendly dance parties, and event listings mentioning mocktails.

Yes, and they're underrated: daytime costume crawls through shops and breweries, family-hour versions of themed pop-up bars, Halloween brunches, and all-ages costume balls that end by 9 pm.
