No Monkey Business

About this place

No Monkey Business is Cumbria and the Lake District’s first dedicated no and low alcohol bar, located in the heart of Keswick. Redefining the traditional pub and café experience, this unique venue specialises in zero-proof spirits, craft 0% beers, low-ABV wines and functional botanical drinks designed for mindful socialising.

Created for those who want the atmosphere of a great night out without the hangover, No Monkey Business offers a curated drinks menu focused on complex, adult flavours. Guests can explore non-alcoholic spirits, mood-boosting elixirs and signature blends featuring adaptogens such as ashwagandha and reishi, alongside natural nootropics and botanicals.

Open from day to evening, the space transitions effortlessly from morning turmeric lattes and speciality coffee to sophisticated alcohol-free cocktails and low-alcohol options after dark. It is an inclusive and welcoming venue for walkers, locals, families and visitors looking for a fresh alternative to traditional Lake District bars.

Alongside drinks, the venue serves simple, flavour-focused food made with quality ingredients, perfect for pairing with a crisp 0% beer or botanical cocktail.

No Monkey Business also hosts regular community events including quiz nights, craft workshops and live music, making it a vibrant social hub in Keswick without the focus on alcohol.

For visitors exploring the Lake District who want mindful drinking options or a relaxed alcohol-free evening out, No Monkey Business offers something genuinely different.
