"Southern California’s non-alcoholic options show no signs of slowing down as the New Bar, Venice’s alcohol-free bottle shop that opened in 2022, opened a second location in the West Hollywood area on Saturday, February 24. Situated on a busy corridor of West Third Street, the New Bar is on the same block as Palihouse, Bobby’s Pizzeria, and Magnolia Bakery. The 675-square-foot space includes outdoor seating and enough room for owner Brianda Gonzalez to host workshops and tastings. Gonzalez also stocked the new location with non-alcoholic spirit brands exclusive to the New Bar WeHo location including Alamave, Cut Above, and Muri. The New Bar joins LA’s growing community of booze-free operators including Chinatown’s Stay Zero Proof Cocktail Lounge, Silver Lake’s Soft Spirits, and roving non-alcoholic event Bar Nuda." - Mona Holmes
