If there are several subjects, the verb should be plural, as with "A, B and C are not served." – Weather Vane Oct 28 '19 at 17:19

6It should be No juice or* coffee is/are served* (I have no particular opinion re singular or plural verb, but doubtless others will dispute that point). – FumbleFingers Oct 28 '19 at 17:19

I'd tend to try to avoid the questionable verb usage entirely: "Neither juice nor coffee will be served.". – Jeff Zeitlin Oct 28 '19 at 17:23

Other conjunctions? No drinks but coffee is/are served. – GEdgar Oct 28 '19 at 17:23

@GEdgar '... other than' makes things easier. – Edwin Ashworth Oct 28 '19 at 19:04
