Ponyboy is one of Uptown 23rd’s best places to catch live music and gourmet bar snacks, it’s also a great place to find refreshing mocktails. Ponyboy proudly crafts both low-proof and no-proof drinks for patrons who want to skip the hangover, using mostly liqueurs and bitters for flavor. If you’re going for zero-proof try the Back to Black — a delicious concoction of blackberry, lemon, soda and alcohol-free ginger beer.
