Dray

Dray is Boston's first dedicated non-alcoholic bottle shop, founded by Pat Dooling and opened in the South End in late November 2023 at 18 Union Park Street. The shop is entirely alcohol-free, billing itself as a non-alcoholic bottle shop, online marketplace, and community for people exploring alcohol alternatives. Its selection is among the largest in the area, spanning NA wine, beer, spirits, ready-to-drink cocktails, and mixers, with brands including Seedlip, Lyre's, Ghia, Three Spirit, Kin Euphorics, Dr Zero Zero, De Soi, and Martini & Rossi alongside many others. Early local press highlighted producers such as Surely (NA wine), Spiritless (NA whiskey and tequila), Tilden, Odd Bird, and Woodland Farms Brewery among Dooling's recommendations. For founder Pat Dooling, the shop reflects a personal mission, telling Boston.com it has become "a little bit of my mission to eat away at the societal norm of drinking." Dray hosts NA tastings and community events, and has since expanded with a second location in Cambridge's Central Square at 5 Columbia Street. The South End flagship is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 8pm and closed Mondays.
