Top 9 Gluten-Free Cocktail Bars to Experience in Salem

If you miss eating fried chicken strips and onion rings, then run (don’t walk) to Sassy! They do have a dedicated GF fryer.

This place is absolutely delicious! The focus of their menu is plant-based first, and then there are some non plant-based options that you can add, like a real beef patty, salmon, and a couple of other things. For a place that you just order up at the counter, the menu is quite extensive, including an entirely separate gluten-free menu, which is extensive as well. Everything is made fresh, and the portion sizes are big. I highly recommend the tempeh bacon on anything and the red curry fries. They also have a wider array of non-alcoholic beverages as well as beer, wine, and coffee. And there is a large outdoor covered patio that also has lights for at night time. All in all, it's a great place for the plant-based and non plant-based alike!

I was driving thru to Portland and decided to stop here! I had their avocado toast, Chai tea latte, matcha latte, mocha, and gluten free brownie. The vibe is great, nice staff. I will say however the avocado toast was not a favorite because the avocado on my toast is harder than my toast. In fact, as I wrote my review, I can see another table ordered Avocado Toast, they left and guess what's still on the plate? The avocado is still on the toast. The batista was kind and asked if I wanted to exchange for something else, which I did and I'm grateful for. But, if you're serving avocado toast, and avocado is the main ingredient, please make sure the avocado is prepared well, ripe and delicious. I absolutely would come here again for the Mocha latte, SO GOOD!

My wife and I went for our anniversary. I'm celiac, so finding a nice place that can meet my dietary needs is always a challenge. The food was outstanding. We had the salmon and the pork chop and they were both flawlessly executed. Our server was very kind and attentive and really went out of her way to look out for my dietary restrictions and ensure we had a great experience. Hands down the best dining experience we've ever had in Salem. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

The staff is friendly and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere. Food is great, though gluten free options are limited. Main dining, bar, patio are, and banquet room have always been clean and maintained. Great place for meeting with friends and catching up.

Great food in a cool historic space at the Reed Opera House. I will be going back again. Gluten Free options available too.

So good! Food was incredible and the gluten free bread is honestly the best in Salem. The service was a bit lacking just in the sense of how long it took to get our food. We waited about 30 min, which is not bad for a dinner place, but for a lunch type location where customers will typically only have one hour to spend on lunch, every minute counts. But the wait truly was worth it, the food is even better than it looks!

My wife and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary here last night and had a wonderful time. Chelsea was our server and she did a fantastic job despite the understaffed conditions she was working under (bartending, serving, running food, bussing tables, she was a 1 person crew but did a great job) My wife enjoyed the cioppino and I had the salmon filet which was cooked perfectly and was fall-apart tender! They were also very helpful in navigating our gluten and dairy intolerances for both meals. Chelsea made us some great cocktails as well! The only reason for leaving 4 stars out of 5 is because we feel there should've been more service staff instead of having one person run the whole front of house.

Best food, wine and whiskey! Service is 5 stars. Our pick for a great evening meal or Sunday brunch. Great gluten free options as well.
