Spirits Food & Friends

Located in Alexandria, Louisiana, Spirits serves seafood, pastas, salads, sandwiches and a GREAT TIME Spirits is not your average restaurant.

Since opening on the corner of Texas Ave. and Jackson St in 1967, it has evolved into an Alexandria institution, and a place where you can enjoy great food, great service and great live music in Cenla. We believe in doing things right. Doing things the right way in our restaurant, and outside of it, for our customer and our community. It’s not the easiest way, it’s our way. We are family-owned and

Alexandria-grown, and that’s how we operate. We not only strive to be the best choice when dining out, but we pledge to be a restaurant with high-quality food, inviting hospitality, social contribution, and consistently delivering a unique experience. We believe in doing things right: sourcing the freshest and highest quality product, working with local suppliers and farms, hiring local musicians to perform many nights per week and ensuring that our staff is trained to meet the needs of every individual customer. No, it’s not the easiest way to run a restaurant, but it is the right way – and that’s what we are committed to doing. Call us crazy, but Spirits Food & Friends has goals far above the “bottom line.” We hold our values close to our heart and pride ourselves on quality, community, and service. From the food to the beer to the cocktails to the live music, we want to go local when we can, to build up the community that we love. And we will always serve the highest quality product that we would serve our family. We believe in supporting the communities that support us, and we are thankful for all of your support.
