There aren’t exceptions for if you aren’t consuming alcohol, haven’t at that location, and/or do not intend to. The law in practice entitles you to bottled water if drinkable tap water is not an option.
So, if you’re buying food at a Guzman y Gomez or Schnitz that has beer for sale at that moment, you can ask for water for free.
Here’s a budget-easing fact. If the place you’re a patron of sells alcohol, it must also provide free drinking water.

Pubs bars and clubs are very careful about providing free water. Interestingly restaurants that serve booze not so much (that I’ve seen anyway)
E; I should say only a few restaurants that I’ve been to haven’t… most do.
And takeaway joints want you to buy bottled!
