Best Non-Alcoholic Bars in Boston, MA
Greater Boston's non-alcoholic scene is anchored by Beyond Proof, the city's first fully alcohol-free craft cocktail bar in Jamaica Plain, and Dray, the area's first dedicated NA bottle shop, with locations in the South End and Cambridge's Central Square. Serious zero-proof menus run across the region's best bars and restaurants — the subterranean "Dry Spells" at Hecate in Back Bay, a no-ABV section at Tall Order in Somerville, craft spirit-free builds at Backbar and Brick & Mortar, and an Italian-leaning "Zero & Low Proof" list at SRV in the South End — while Notch Brewing's Brighton biergarten pours its own in-house non-alcoholic beer.
