A Refreshing Non-Alcoholic Take on Drinks

SOBER BARS and nonalcoholic bottle shops like DryOak in Covington are becoming increasingly popular as more people focus on health and wellness. With a growing trend toward reducing alcohol consumption, DryOak provides a range of delicious alternatives for those looking to embrace a mindful lifestyle. As Louisiana’s first non-alcoholic bottle shop, it has quickly become a destination for flavorful, alcohol-free options.

Owners Taylor and Cayla Ohler had a clear vision for DryOak, refusing to compromise on key aspects of the shop. Their top priority was ensuring that the products they carried tasted great. They also knew the success of DryOak depended on a wide selection, so they built an extensive inventory. The third piece of their vision was creating an inviting, warm atmosphere for customers.

DryOak offers a large selection of non-alcoholic drinks, including multiple beer brands, with Taylor’s favorites being Bravus and Uncool. He assures customers that their non-alcoholic beers taste and smell just like regular beers despite the removal of the alcohol. The same attention to taste applies to their wines and champagnes. Cayla explained that making great-tasting NA wine is tricky, so they are selective about their offerings, only carrying the most flavorful options.

From non-alcoholic whiskey with a satisfying burn to functional beverages with health benefits, DryOak has something for everyone. After trying Hiyo’s watermelon lime seltzer and the Smashd NA Lychee Martini, I was impressed by both the taste and quality.

Whether you’re fully committed to a non-alcoholic lifestyle or just curious, DryOak is definitely worth a visit. Taylor and Cayla’s expertise ensures they can help you find the perfect alcohol-free drink.
