Rochambeau

Rochambeau sits at 900 Boylston Street in the middle of Back Bay, a large French brasserie with a bar opening directly onto the street and a dining room that runs brunch daily and dinner every night. It is a room built for volume and occasion rather than intimacy, which is precisely why its non-alcoholic list matters: a table of six at a Back Bay brasserie is the exact situation in which someone not drinking ends up with a soda, and Rochambeau does not make them do that.

The alcohol-free drinks are listed by name on the same menu as the cocktails and are built with the same technique. Red Lace uses Tilden Lacewing, the Massachusetts-made non-alcoholic cocktail base, with a strawberry Persian rose element, honey and egg white for texture. Blueberries for Sal, named for the Robert McCloskey book, is built on CleanCo non-alcoholic tequila with blueberry, mint, lime, orgeat and soda. The N/A Hugo Spritz uses Giffard's alcohol-free elderflower with lime, mint and alcohol-free sparkling wine at $16, and the Spritz Del Conte is an alcohol-free Italian-style spritz at $15, listed with its residual figure of under 0.05% ABV printed on the menu, which is the kind of disclosure that lets a reader make their own decision. The house also notes that further non-alcoholic wine, beer and spirits are available on request by phone or email, so the printed list is a floor rather than a ceiling. Meet Boston, the city's official tourism organisation, included Rochambeau in its January 2026 round-up of where to get zero-proof drinks in Boston, alongside Backbar, Pagu and Alden & Harlow. Meet Boston grouped it with Backbar in Union Square, Pagu in Central Square and Alden & Harlow in Harvard Square, which puts Rochambeau among the small set of rooms the city's own tourism office points visitors toward when they ask where to drink without alcohol in Boston.
