W.A. Frost & Company is a Cathedral Hill institution that opened in December 1975 inside the historic 1889 Dacotah Building, originally home to William A. Frost's pharmacy. Long known for its tree-canopied patio, award-winning wine list, and contemporary American cuisine, the St. Paul mainstay also runs a genuine zero-proof program. Its Cocktail Hour menu carries a dedicated "No Proof Cocktails" section priced at $8, currently listing the Blueberry Buzz Tonic, the Wilfred Spritz, and the Strawberry Gimlet. The bar additionally pours non-alcoholic and low-proof options such as the Evening At Frost, built on Gnista Wormwood and house-made spiced orange syrup. Set among the grand Victorian mansions of Cathedral Hill, the restaurant pairs its no-proof list with the same atmospheric, white-tablecloth setting that has made it a special-occasion destination for decades. The NA list is real but compact — a handful of named drinks rather than a full menu.
