I came for Mahjong night and I stayed for the food and drinks! It was a pleasant surprise to see that it's was a 100% alcohol free bar with a vegan menu. The service was amazing and both owners were very pleasant and talked us through their menu. The location itself is very pretty, and the vibe was very chill. I will def be coming back again!

Chill vibe! Cool front door enter by pressing handicap tab. Nice dark booth. Owners are tge server & bartender. Had live singer guitarist. Saw a band setting up for later. Our Scallops were really mushrooms it cooked my husband. But he felt fooled when bill came and realized there were up charges to add crustini and truffles$!$ Garluc string beans were delicious but we were still hungry so asked for rice to eat up the garlic sauce. Drinks forgot the names but we liked the orange one better!! There's games you cZn pickup and play with we played connect four. Guess we're not the vegan nonalcoholic types! Might pop in for Thursday mahjongs...

I came for their Kpop Demon Hunters trivia night! It was lots of fun and I loved the owners, food, drinks and restaurant. I hope they're able to stay in business, because it's a wonderful place, and they have such heart and care for their community. I'm lactose intolerant and allergic to onions, and they took excellent care of me. I really enjoyed the creamy pasta that had no dairy. I wouldn't have known if I'd tasted it blind. I also hate the taste of alcohol, so getting to choose from so many neat mocktails was so fun! Arleo, the mixologist and one of the owners, even made drinks for each of the demon hunters! I got the Rumi, it was sweet but also had a smoky, warming quality. Great choice based on her character. Also tried the Very Magical Cat, a nice fruity drink with pretty colors. The bone marrow appetizer was my favorite! So flavorful and savory. I enjoyed the tofu cheesecake too. Good texture, though I could have used more sweetness. Thank you so much Amber for being so hospitable and for delicious food! It was fun singing with you too. I'll be coming back asap because this month might be their last. I hope not, because as the grand daughter of restaurant owners, it hurts my heart so see great businesses close down. Times are so difficult, and it's made the tough restaurant business even harder.

We first learned about Free-Spirited Lounge via a mahjong event hosted here. Our obsession with mahjong aside, my husband doesn't drink alcohol and I am prediabetic (despite my sweet tooth) so we love that Free Spirited Lounge exists. They serve amazing alcohol-free cocktails (with available-sugar-free options!) and meals that accommodate a range of dietary needs including vegan and halal. Drinks-wise, so far we've had the Quarantine Heart, Daily Flip, Hero of Hyrule, Moon & Stars, Green Moissanite, and Nueva Ecija. Next to try: Scooter SSR, Very Magical Cat.... Basically, I want to try all the cocktails. Most impressive of all is that only two people run this place and do everything. What used to be a çonquistador-themed Mexican restaurant still has that old-school vibe but is now a cozy and accessible space for games and music events, or just to hang out with friends. (I see dogs are welcome too!) This is such a hidden gem that more people need to know about, because they deserve more business to survive. Note: they are only open 4 nights a week for a few hours.

Here for their spontaneous Mahjong & Jazz night! Ordered the Initiative which has a cool concept related to games! You roll a d20 die and it dictates the type of sweetness you will receive with the drink! Such a cool idea! I rolled a d4 which contained Aquafaba as its sweetener. Even with its low sweetness, it really is such a light and refreshing drink! You can taste the bitters but its not overpowering. A well balanced drink! I also ordered the mushroom crostini with truffle oil & salt! The bread is super soft and the blend of all the flavors just makes it such a delicious appetizer! It lays on a bed of microgreens and i just cleaned the whole plate haha! Love this place so much!

Late twenties. For me, someone who's been done with school for (more than) a couple years now, this is a hard time to meet new people. In my quest to find new "third spaces," I happened upon Common Ground, a mahjong group hosting events around the 626 area. One of these events, "Free Spirited Mahjong," has been recurring on Thursdays at Free Spirited, a sober and (mostly) vegan craft cocktail lounge. The inside is quaint and cozy. Plush booths and tables with swanky armchairs were each stationed with a mahjong set. The bar was especially magical, and, in contrast to the lounge's warm, ambient lighting, was illuminated by a faint otherworldly glow. Our bartender, Arleo, was very nice. I liked listening to him explain the drinks and the virgin spirits that he brewed himself. As a fledgling mixologist, one of the reasons I wanted to come was to learn more about mocktails, and listening to Arleo was enlightening, productive, and fun. My first drink of the night was the Very Magical Cat, which caught my attention online because of its eye-catching colors. The flavor profile was delicious - sweet and floral. I love anything with passionfruit, and I can never resist a butterfly peaflower moment. Next, I had The Initiative, a very creative and nerdy cocktail with a Dungeons and Dragons concept. The base of this mocktail is a bitter red cordial, used to substitute aperitifs such as Aperol or Campari. Citrus is added from calamansi and bubbles from hopwater. The most interesting part of this drink, however, is the sweetener, or more specifically, the method by which you choose your sweetener. Arleo will hand you a D20 dice. It lit up when it touched my hands! Your roll will determine what kind of sweetener is used in your drink. I rolled a 2, which got me aquafaba (not very sweet, but anything under 10 will get you something not very sweet). Arleo whipped up my drink and served it to me in a copper mug. Refreshing and hoppy. I'm tempted to revisit just so that I can roll again. My friends really enjoyed their drinks as well. Our collective favorite drink was the Butterbeer. It was sweet like honey, and almost tasted like cider to me. I had a lovely time at Free Spirited, and would definitely come back. The drinks were delicious, and everyone got to enjoy them without having to worry about having a designated driver. The craftsmanship put into these drinks was just as, if not more, exquisite as that of a cocktail. And, they're very affordable. If anything, I feel like they could charge even more for their drinks. Tax and tip are already built into the price, but even then, I was surprised at how low the tab was. I'll be sure to return.

Love the vibe, it's almost like a hidden speakeasy. The place has a mostly vegan menu and non-alcoholic drinks! (But they also have halal chicken for omnivores!) If you're looking for an alcohol free third space to hang out in the evening, this place is great. They also have fun events like mahjong nights hosted by different people! Also if you get their very cute mocktails, you can add a shot of dopabeam for two bucks if you want to feel a light buzz naturally.

They have a small parking lot on the side of the bar. There's also street parking on Main St. This was a really cool place with a purpose. All the drinks were affordable, delicious mocktails. They were all only $8 each with tax and tips included. Although, you could always put down more and donate to one of their charities. They also had yummy food. All of their food was vegan. You need to reserve entrees in advance. They appeared very accommodating with food allergies. Came during a private event. Got the X'ed Out. Love that their single, giant cube had their initials. It was really good and unique. Multiple people got the Firepit Nights and they all said it was delicious. My table got the Truffle Chickpeas for $8, Chips & Guacamole for $10, and "Calamari" for $12. They came out hot, were shareable, and were all really tasty. The trumpet mushrooms made an amazing calamari substitute. Another person in my table got the Dirt Coupe for $9 and said it was delicious. It was served in a really pretty dessert bowl. Really liked that the food looked just the pictures on the menu. The place wasn't too big, but could accommodate a good amount of people. There were board games free to play. They had multiple events like fundraisers, mocktail classes, mahjong, and speed dating. Definitely a lounge to check out.

This is a non-alcholic bar that has monthly events! They have their own small parking lot off of Huntington Blvd. Their location was easy to find. Their drinks are so good I cant believe it doesnt contain alcohol! The bartender brought our drinks to us and while I didnt order food, it smelled amazing when it was brought out for somebody else. It is an extremely chill and casual environment and they have some table top board games that others can play at their tables. They have dim lights to create that bar life, and they even have a plastic are throwing game. The only sad part is they dont have air conditioning. It gets super expensive so they just have the industrial floor fans that are blowing all over the place! Their restroom has a squat stool and perfume, feminine pads and tampons. I thought that was awesome to have that in the bathroom. Im really glad to have come here for a casual night of mahjong with some friends. I love the hospitality of everyone there! Ill be back!

Free Spirited Lounge is such a cool little spot in Alhambra. The menu is almost entirely vegan, but you can sub in meat if you want; so it works whether you're plant-based or not. The food surprised me in the best way (as someone who is not vegan/vegetarian). The vegan scallops (made from oyster mushrooms) were my favorite; the texture was spot on and they were super flavorful. The bone marrow was a close second, and it's wild that it's made completely from mushrooms because it hits that rich, savory note (like real bone marrow) perfectly. It's run by a husband and wife as their second job, and you can tell they genuinely care about the place. Another big plus; all the drinks are non-alcoholic. It's perfect if you don't drink, but also great if you usually do and just want a fun night without alcohol. The vibe is welcoming and cozy. Great place to hang out, chat, and enjoy good food with great company. Would absolutely come back!

I came here for a special event and was very impressed by the cozy ambiance although it was a little too dark on the inside for me to see the paper menu. They also have the menu online as they have limited paper menus. When I came here, I almost missed the restaurant. Also, be careful not to get on the wrong one-way road to get to the parking lot! I tried a few of their drinks - All My Best, Phoenix Rising, and Very Magical Cat; all are $12 each but has the 20% tip included in the price! I wasn't a fan of the All My Best. Phoenix Rising was good but was actually very little amount in the cup?! My favorite was the sweeter Very Magical Cat. I do hope to come back with some friends next time and try out the food and more drinks! For those who don't really drink alcohol, this is a good alternative.

Over the last month I have been to Free Spirited at least 3 times for a community event night and my experience has been beyond stellar. Food and Drink: Free Spirited specializes in 100% non-alcoholic, vegan, allergy friendly options for their patrons. I highly recommend getting the "Buttered Scallops" or "Calamari", both dishes featuring mushrooms prepared perfectly in their unique ways. Ambiance: The vibes at Free Spirited is IMMACULATE a cozy traditional lounge with large tables, great for friendly gatherings, intimate talks, and gaming activities! Service: The owners are absolutely amazing people and so sweet and attentive to patrons. Show them all the love when you go, the space they've created is so unique and necessary these days.

This was such a find. Such a cozy atmosphere with delicious drinks. We will have to return for the food. My favorite drink of the night was the Firepit nights and second favorite was Belarosa. Arlo was very knowledgeable about which drinks would suit your taste. Some friends wanted beverages that tasted like a certain alcohol, and he was great at helping them choose. Looks like they have a lot of fun events.

If you want a vegan sober wine and dine restaurant experience with games this is the place. Food is fresh and very flavorful. The owners very friendly and really made this a personal experience for my husband and I. The overall feel of the bar is speakeasy without the alcohol! Great music and a wide variety of games. I would suggest treating yourself to this place the drinks alone are worth the try since they taste so much like alcohol it is amazing! They're so delicious and convincing that I thought I was buzzed! Once again amazing service and food please support this business! My husband and I will definitely be coming back for more. read more

Celebrating my beloved son's birthday on St. Patrick's Day, we decided to have dinner at Free Spirited before going to see Madame Web. As we walked in we were happily greeted by owner and alcohol free cocktail crafter, Arleo. He provided us with a menu and after informing him we recently switched to a whole food plant based diet, he suggested a few items and answered all of our questions in detail about his suggestions as well as his handcrafted drinks. I couldn't wait to try what sparked our interests! We started with a Green Moissanite for my boyfriend and a Rittenhart for me. We tasted each other drinks and loved them both! So much so, that we ordered another round. We ordered the Red Pepper Hummus plate and the Roasted Asparagus as appetizers. The hummus and housemade whole grain gluten free pita were so good! The accompanying veggies were fresh and snappy. The roasted asparagus was perfectly charred giving it such good flavor. Then came our main dishes. My boyfriend had the Hongo Asado Tacos and I had the Tofu Kare Kare. I took a bite of a taco and I'm going to order them on one of our next visits. I LOVED the Kara Kara, which to suit my new diet, Arleo recommended a substitute for the Bagoong. I wish I could remember what it was but do remember it took the dish over the top for me! I kept making yum yum sounds throughout my meal! We both were, lol! I have to say, owner and chef Amber has it going on! Her cuisine was so good that there are several of her dishes I want to try. Amber and Arleo are such a sweet couple and took time to chat with us. They even asked about my beloved son. That's a rarity to find in a restaurant and it touched my heart. They asked if we were interested in desert and again keeping our diet in mind, they described their vegan and diabetic friendly Dirt Coupe, "..whipped dark chocolate mousse, a cookie crumble topping, and a golden shovel spoon!" Before I knew it, both Amber and Arleo brought one out with a candle in honor of my son Christopher's birthday. It was one of the best tasting desserts I have ever had! My boyfriend would agree. We left for the movies, full in our tummies and warm hearted. We decided to return on our way home for the live "oldies" music and a "nightcap". How perfect it was cuz the group happened to play several Beatles tunes which was one of my son's favorite bands. Thank you Amber and Arleo for offering great tasting food, a warm setting and a good time! We will be back! read more

Thanks to Cody G. , I just realized I have to come back more often to Free Spirited in Alhambra. I come with my husband for cocktails and because we are an elderly couple, we have no young children to take with us when we come visit. We are always warmly welcomed contrary to what Cody G. falsely stated. On top of that, I get to enjoy my favorite sober cocktails : Very Magical Cat and Nueva Ecija. When you come to visit make sure to try their tofu kare kare, Hapa popcorn/chickpeas, and dirt coupe. You will not regret it! read more

If you are looking for a chill environment to hang with friends eat some some great food and enjoy quality (Alcohol Free) Drinks then look no further! With the atmosphere and friendly staff you will love every second you spend here. I highly reccomend the Hapa popcorn and the guacamole, which was so good my friend who usually dislikes guac was cleaning the bowl. I didn't get around to ordering the black garlic pasta this time around but I heard great things so I'm excited to give it a try on my next visit. The drinks are definitely on point too, every one I tried had a great flavor to it so you don't even miss it having alcohol. The cherry on top of the cake is you can get full bottles of Martenelli's Apple Cider in lieu of champagne (which I've always preferred over bubbly anyways) and it's presented in such a cool way! You can also play board games from their selection of games or bring your own to enjoy. We had every intention of playing but the vibe of the place had us talking the whole time so we kinda just forgot to play. But we will definitely come back and play next time. read more

Free spirited gives the bar vibes (good music,games,abundance of NA drinks) without the alcohol and it's amazing. All of the food I've tried there has been so good!

Wow! This place is special and so cool! First of all, I absolutely love the concept! It's such a great way to bring people who don't drink together into a place that is like a cool lounge, but a sober cool lounge haha. There really aren't many places out there that have this for people who are alcohol-free, so I'm so glad this place opened up! I love the fun, almost antique-like Italian decorated ambience with big old paintings and chandeliers - as soon as you walk in it feels like you've gone back in time! The food was absolutely delicious! The vegan bone marrow, vegan spicy tacos, and guacamole with chips were amazing and my favorites! I liked the drinks even more. I tried the Green Moissanite, which was really refreshing, and the Quarantine Heart, which had a nice, sweet taste to it. The service was great too! Really friendly people with big smiles. The owners, Amber and Arleo, are so nice and welcoming! They also encourage you to bring your buddies and play games here (there's a whole game board cabinet and you can also bring your own games).

Love the concept and the drinks! Wish we had one in North County San Diego... a bunch of my high school friends met in Alhambra and after dinner they wanted drinks - I am the only one who doesn't drink. One of the guys said, I found this place with 5 stars! Imagine my delight when we arrived to find an alcohol-free bar - we had a big laugh and my friend was completely embarrassed. Well, I convinced them to stay so I could have my drink and they all enjoyed one too. The owner was great about finding non-alcoholic equivalents for the drinks they had originally planned on getting and we had a good time. If we weren't stuffed already, I would have tried the food, which to my delight is gluten free (I'm allergic). So totally my kind of place, but unfortunately I live 2 hours away. Also like that tip and tax are included. So annoying to have to figure that out when you're having a good time. After our drink, I had to head back home and the others went to get that alcohol they wanted so in the end we all went home happy. read more

We had a lovely time when we went to Free Spirited yesterday for a friend's birthday! The entire vibe of the place is incredible! Every single piece from the cups on the bar, to the names on the menu, to the overhead decor is so creative, and so intentionally made/placed! The service was amazing and the owners are very kind...you can really tell they put their heart and soul into what they do. Great spot to visit if you're in LA! read more

I came here for a friends birthday and I absolutely loved it! The cocktails were so so good and so was the food! I'm vegan and the menu was very vegan friendly - I had the garlic pasta with mushrooms and it was delicious. They also brought us the vegan caviar which was quite a treat. The staff was very accommodating and even let my friends dog come in and hang out with us. I am not drinking for a couple of months so I loved that I could have drinks with everyone without compromising my sobriety. I didn't know it was an alcohol free cocktail bar until I looked at the menu. There should be more of these! I will definitely be back! read more

Amber and Arleo have created a wonderful space that provides delicious gluten-free fare and creative zero-proof cocktails, along with warm, friendly service and a fun, retro ambiance. It's such a treat for me to be able to order anything from the menu and not have to worry about getting "glutened". And for you folks who can eat gluten, the food isn't just good for being gluten-free. Amber and Arleo have clearly put in much care and thought into the development of their recipes and preparation of their food. My daughter, who usually turns up her nose at GF food, loved the black garlic pasta. The vegan calamari is a revelation in its taste and texture. And the housemade ginger sauce and banana ketchup cocktail sauce should be bottled and sold! Do yourself a favor and come experience Free Soirited! They also have fun games, as well as Wednesday karaoke. The bar itself is beautifully lit, and the owners have selected a beautiful collection of different glasses that they have curated for each type of cocktail. The thought and care put into the customer experience is truly evident. Also, Amber and Arleo are delightful. What's not to love? read more

If you have a dietary restriction but want a specific dish that has that allergen, please let us know 24 hours in advance. We can accommodate almost every request with advanced notice.

History

Established in 2023.

The history is impactful and vast with why we decided to open a sober bar. For a telling, traumatic, and inspiring story, please read on. Amber was nearly killed by a drunk driver which left her handicapped and with PTSD. When you meet her, you'll notice purple spots on her nose, forehead, & the corner of her mouth. That's asphalt from where the worst of her superficial injuries were from being hit (and run) by a drunk driver. She then lost her best friend from childhood to murder related to addiction. Arleo had his own struggle with alcohol and went through an accident (where no one was hurt thankfully), and went through AA. Together they wanted to create a safe space for those who don't drink, for whatever reason. We have 2 tables that are always reserved. A blue candle adorns one, honoring those who have been victims of drunk driving, both alive and passed. A purple candle adorns the second in honor of those fighting addiction, and in remembrance of those who've passed.

Meet the Business Owner: Amber P.

Free Spirited was started because as a person who does not drink, my options were incredibly limited. I couldn't go out with friends without being stuck with water, soda, or 2 mocktails (made with soda) as my options. So I got fed up & asked my mixologist husband if he thought it would be possible to open a purely sober lounge where people like me, who wanted a fun upbeat atmosphere, could go without feeling like an outcast. I also lost my best friend to addiction and have friends that can't drink due to medical issues. I also have seen too many people come into where I bartended and would say, "I'm only having one", but it turns into 4. It's sad that people did not have an option like Free Spirited to help curb their alcoholic drinking. So, I want to cater to the recovering addicts, pregnant couples (dads/partners can support their wives by not drinking too, and people who just can't drink for one reason or another! The sober curious are welcome as well! All my best, Amber

I've been going to them more and more, and The Lucky Tiki was one I definitely had to try out. First off, I have to praise 1933 group because I have loved every single bar they have revitalized and this one is no different. In keeping with their MO, The Lucky Tiki is a speakeasy with a vintage vibe. I won't give away how to get in but let's just say, it's near the front of Highland Park Bowl. My husband and I didn't have a reservation, but we were able to put our name in and got seated about an hour or so later. I was amazed as soon as I walked in the door! It's just floor to ceiling decorated with everything tiki. So many fun details and even interactive elements that turn on when a particular drink was ordered. That was probably my favorite part honestly. We ordered the Tiki Diablo, which is a large tiki drink with a flaming volcano. And yes it does have an interactive element. It was really good. Very fruity and strong, but not overly so. Service was excellent. Our waitress was on it and even waited to make sure my husband was back from the bathroom before lighting our drink on fire. We didn't try any food this time, but a lot of people were ordering the Hawaiian pizza. Do with that what you may. Will definitely be back ti try more drinks and food. Was the perfect spot for a lively date night!

FYI this place requires reservations, yet they apparently do not honor reservations…read more I have friends coming into town from Greece, so I made a reservation because they love tiki but have no way of experiencing it in Greece, and so they even got aloha shirts to wear. So after having a reservation for weeks, I get a text from this place saying someone booked a private event so my reservation is cancelled. How about instead of accepting $$$ for a private event that will deny customers their reservation, they make the private event work around what is available? Terrible way of doing business, but I hope they get lots of $$$ and engagement for the privileged private event attendees.

TLDR: Improved technology, more modern look, still affordable…read more I had been meaning to check out this newly reopened bowling alley for a while now, so I'm glad I finally got to go! I'm not sure if it's being run by the same owner or if someone else took over, but the building looks much more modern now. It's a little bittersweet to see all the nostalgic pieces of my childhood gone, but it's hard to deny that it's for the best. Prices were still pretty affordable. The staff member let us know that there's a cheaper deal on weekdays, which is pretty normal for bowling alleys. There is clearly a lot more seating on the top floor. The addition of all the tables is really nice. I also noticed that they removed the extra TVs that used to either play ads or sports and stuff. They also got rid of all the pool tables that I never saw anyone use. The screens and control panels are all updated to this modern design too. Something else that was interesting was how the old bowling ball racks were moved to the side of the building to make room for bag hooks behind the people bowling. Although it's a good idea, it's kind of hard to watch your belongings when they're behind you like that, so it leaves your stuff kind of open for stealing. It's also easier to grab the bowling ball you need though because they're all in one place instead of spread across the whole building. The only thing that I kind of hate is the seating down by the alley. There's actually less seating down there with these standalone dining table sets replacing the old benches. Since our party arrived when there were many other people there, we only had one side of the lane while strangers were on the other side. It's just a little awkward to sit at a dining table with strangers like that. Not to mention, the seating arrangement left a lot of people standing and kind of made it hard to communicate with each other. In terms of bowling mechanics, I think the amount of time it takes for the bowling ball to return has been reduced significantly. I'm so glad we don't have to wait ages for the ball to return for the second throw! The machine also didn't seem to experience incorrect racking, which used to happen all the time here. Sadly, the screen does not tell you the mph your throw was at anymore. I always thought that was a very helpful feature, so it's a shame to see it go. Lastly, the floors seemed well cleaned and waxed. I didn't have to powder my shoes and felt like my bowling ball glided pretty smoothly down the alleyway. Overall, I think this bowling alley is nice. I'm glad to have an alley that's close to my house again!

I had such a wonderful experience at Free Spirited! This place is a gem for anyone looking for vegan, gluten-free, and alcohol-free dining, but beyond that, it's a space built with so much heart and intention. The sweetest couple runs this spot, and they took so much time to explain their mission and the thought behind each dish. You can tell they genuinely care about creating an inclusive and welcoming community for those with dietary restrictions. Every bite felt like it was made with love and purpose. While it sounds like they'll be closing for a few months to enjoy time with their young baby (which is so beautiful!), I truly admire how much they prioritize accessibility in food. I'll definitely be back once they reopen, and I hope this place continues to thrive--because the world needs more thoughtful, nourishing, and inclusive spaces like this. If you're looking for a spot that's delicious, intentional, and welcoming, Free Spirited is it. Highly recommend! read more

I had the most incredible time at Free Spirited, the sober craft cocktail lounge! This place is a haven for anyone looking to enjoy a fun night out without alcohol. Their selection of alcohol-free cocktails is truly impressive--each drink is expertly crafted, bursting with flavor, and perfect for creating unforgettable memories. The food is equally amazing! Every dish I tried was delicious, showcasing fresh ingredients and unique flavors that perfectly complemented the drinks. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into the menu. A special shoutout to Amber and Arleo, They are not only sweet and welcoming but also incredibly attentive, ensuring that every guest feels special and cared for. Their passion for creating a positive atmosphere is evident in every aspect of the lounge. Overall, Free Spirited is an amazing place that offers a fantastic experience. I can't recommend it enough--definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for a night to remember! read more

I wish I could give them 10 stars! Arleo and Amber are the owners/ servers/ bartenders/ chefs, and they are phenomenal because they care about you as a person (not a customer)! I've been going here since 2024 and each time is a joy. The drinks are super affordable and tasty and made in-house. My favorites are the Scooter SSR (it has a kick and comes with boba!) and All My Best (refreshing and nice to look at). Let's not forget the allergy-friendly menu with tons of vegan or gf options. As someone that's vegan and rarely drinks, this makes my heart SO happy! Plus the seating is cozy and intimate, totally date night or bday vibes! FS also hosts tons of events (like mahjong nights and comedy shows), so I 100% recommend stopping by and meeting these lovely people! read more
