Five fun things to do when you’re not drinking

The street food scene is unstoppable. Everywhere you look there’s a new food court or night market to check out, and at these lively grazing spots you can indulge in so many new flavours. Make one of those new flavours Budweiser Prohibition street food (yeah, you heard us!). At Dinerama, selected traders are creating dishes from this unique, all-new alcohol-free beer. Try beer-battered chicken wings from Thunderbirds, Prohibition Pizza from Fundi and a limited edition Prohibition burger from patty-peddlers Burger & Beyond – taking a beer and a burger to a whole new level.

There’s something seriously naughty about strolling around your favourite museum or gallery by night. Many of London’s biggest and brightest institutions open their doors to the discerning public on certain nights of the week. So if you’re looking to expand your horizons rather than hitting the pub, take your pick from the Natural History Museum or Science Museum for something cerebral, or try the National Gallery and the Tate if it’s art that you’re after. It’s way more cultured then a trip to the local and you can definitely afford to feel smug after spending your evening so wholesomely. 

Hark back to simpler times to get your kicks. Browsing the market for vintage wares and threads is a London pastime that will never go out of fashion, much like the clobber you can pick up at flea markets around town. Flat Iron Square hosts one of our favourite flea markets every Saturday. Alternatively, you can stick to the classic tourist hotspots at Spitalfields and Portobello Road, or go for new age market vibes at Netil Market in Hackney. Crack open a Budweiser Prohibition Brew afterwards to celebrate your pure purchases.

Yeah, sure, you could stay in front of Netflix all day. But it’s way more fun to get out and about. If you definitely feel addicted to screen time, though, try visiting places like Four Quarters East, a retro gaming bar where vintage arcade game machines are what pull in the punters, as opposed to beverages. Or head to The Crystal Maze, the iconic television series brought to life – one of London’s many interactive escape games. The thrill of the game is sure to help you work up the right kind of thirst.

Nights out can be testing when you’re choosing to go light on the alcohol. So flip your social schedule on its head. Brunch couldn’t be bigger these days and you can forgo a bloody mary in favour of 100% alcohol-free drinks like the all-new Budweiser Prohibition Brew. Steer clear of bottomless brunch spots and instead choose restaurants where brunch is part of their DNA – Dishoom and Modern Pantry are great for everyday brunching, or treat yourself to a trip to Chiltern Firehouse.
