… And nobody will be the wiser that you aren’t drinking.
Also, tip your bartender when you order it because it does, in fact, take up their time—time they could dedicate to someone else’s typically tipped actual purchase that helps their sales. Even $1 will brighten their spirits, because it will be unexpected. And I can almost guarantee you won’t have to ask them for a straw or extra lime the next time you order it. Sometimes, if it’s a slow night, I’ll even throw down a fiver. I know how much it sucks to have a slow night and how small gestures like that can make your night a bit better.

🥤I love a fruity little drink to sip on. I’ve noticed if I’m in an especially shit mood, I’ll make a little mocktail, and suddenly life is bearable.
Going for silly little drinks also helps. Become a regular at somewhere that serves your favourite silly drinks, and you have people who are going to say hello to you everyday. Sometimes, after a while of going there consistently, they may also throw some free things your way which makes sweet drinks even sweeter

🍹Link goes to a list of regular cocktails a bartender could make n/a versions of, like a mojito, mule, piña colada, etc. You also can ask what fruit juices they have and get one with club soda (pineapple, grapefruit, cranberry, orange should be there).
If it's really busy and loud, and hard to communicate, club soda+lime or lemon should be easily understood and there's a decent chance they won't charge you (have cash to tip anyway!). Otherwise, don't be afraid to ask the bartender, too.
The bar might have n/a beer or spirits. Check their website and see if there's a beverage menu you can look at before you go.
