Big fan of this place, they sold me green chartreuse when I couldn't buy it anywhere else in the world.

Great spot and really friendly people. My go-to for a special boozy gift for family, friends, and colleagues. My only "complaint" is that I wish they would put "Burbank" rather than just "California" on their logo and show some local love! :) read more

Cozy chic boutique style beer/cocktail/craft beverage/wine shop with possibly the nicest humans (Dan the awesome owner, Tyler and Zane who have been in on my trips here - all super helpful) in beverage retail serving you quality service from 12PM until 8PM (holiday hours vary) daily! On the corner the literal corner of Lamar St & Burbank Blvd... A few doors down from The Burbank Pub this fine establishment displays both room temp and refrigerated cans not to mention bottles from LA local, domestic plus imported drinks of all sorts. You can purchase for the day, week and even in cocktail kit form... It's all about the way you like or if you prefer the Dealer's Choice... you can have bottles/recommends selected for you in their wine selection. They host events and tastings once in a while, which is a huge highlight also. The Purity Wine release party back in March was said to be epic! I missed out due to being out of town back then. Keeping an eye out for anything coming up soon (Instagram is where you might find most updates). Tastings usually happen toward the end of their store hours, 6- 8p. Fancy Free offers local shipping, California shipping and of course pick up when using their amazing easy to navigate website. Add some of their great merch, mixers, glassware or a gift card to your order as well online as well as in-store... Gift wrapping is available. Usually leave the store with two to three bottles of something new, often local brewery and winery favs when in the area. I'm sure you will too ;) read more

Love this spot! It's go-to EVERY time I host, not only for their impressive spirits selection and bar accessories of course, but also (and especially) for their pre-made cocktail mixes. They are so good and the variety ensures there's something for every spirit or party theme. Decent N/A selection as well. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. And the store is CUTE! Highly recommend. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Staff are friendly and very helpful/knowledgeable when it comes to suggestions. The selection is beautiful; you're guaranteed to find a high-quality pick to impress friends (and enjoy yourself!). Highly recommended. read more

Fancy Free is so much more than a liquor store, and it fills a unique niche in such a welcome way. They have been our mainstay since early days of the pandemic. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and have an amazingly curated selection of wine, liquor, and very creative fresh cocktail mixes. And the store itself is cute to boot! read more

From the cocktail kits to the knowledgable staff, I love this store. I would give it a hundred stars if I could!

Great little store with well curated options. I love shopping here, and always leave with something yummy.

Fancy Free! There simple dialed in menu at the bar makes selections easy and clean. Love the aesthetics of the place, it definitely carried in to our mixed drinks. We went with the Pink Flamingo paired with El Tequileno. Great service, great drinks. It's a once stop shop for quality drinks. The block ice and the garnish were the final touches on the drink. It's a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for. I think the end user experience is worth it. I'm no mixologist but I felt like one when making it. I would definitely come back again to try another combo package. They also have a nice selection of craft drinks in the refrigerator. read more

Fancy Free Liquor - Pink Flamingo kit - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Burbank, California

Went back three weeks in a row for a wine and was constantly told it was "on order." I bought it online; arrived in two days. They never ordered it. read more

Huge 5 stars to this place. I was in the area doing some Christmas shopping and had it in mind to get my sister a cocktail kit, something I'd been impressed by but never purchased. A quick Yelp search turned up Fancy Free Liquor only minutes away. From the curb, Fancy Free looks unremarkable, like any one of countless liquor stores in the LA area. Take one step inside and the clean, bright interior with meticulously-ordered shelves makes it immediately clear that Fancy Free is in a whole different category. The service was incredible. I was greeted promptly by a friendly employee. He took me to the front counter and showed me their two cocktail-kit menus - one seasonal, the other their permanent menu in a rich leather portfolio. There was another employee behind the counter who literally could not have been more helpful. Despite the world outside being crazy with the pre-holiday rush, he was the definition of mellow and took his time helping me choose the perfect cocktail kit. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined giving a five-star review to a liquor store, but Fancy Free is in a different league from the rest. This may just be my new go-to bottle shop. read more

Wow. What a great experience. Went in to pick a nice bottle of whiskey up for a friend and needed some advice on a higher end whiskey. Zahne (sp?) was a great help. He walked me through the different tasting notes in my price range and I feel like I came out with a great whiskey. The shop has an amazing selection, you'll find whatever you are looking for here! read more

Great place! Was killing time while waiting for Thai food I'd ordered down the street, drove by, and made a U-turn. Got a terrific bottle of exactly what I asked for, thanks to the educated and helpful guy at the front counter. Will definitely return. read more

Fancy Free Liquor - Yum - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Burbank, California

How many times have you thought, "Man, I wish I could just have this alcohol delivered to my door," but are met with either A) you are outside of the delivery range, or B) no stores near you that deliver alcohol at all, so you are either A) forced to drive to get your poison or B) so bummed that you have no motivation to get any drinks at all so you just watch more episodes of the Office? Okay, maybe it's just me. But to be fair, I live in an area of LA where you have to drive to get to literally ANYTHING you want, so delivery is definitely a luxury that I rhetorically thank the powers that be for every November. When I saw that Fancy Free Liquor (FFL) was offering just $5 delivery for anywhere in LA, I was hooked (thanks to our CM, Megan, for the ad)! I hopped on their website and saw they are offering cocktail kits, spirits, beer, and all types of wine, all of which can be delivered. I also saw that delivery is free for orders of $50 or more, so of course I immediately loaded up my cart with $56 worth of items. You can either choose to pick up at the store or have it delivered the next day (though they are closed on Mondays). I'm regularly on the lookout for wine shops that sell natural wine, so I was super excited to see that a lot of their wine options that can be ordered online (and probably bought in store) are natural. For $56 I got a natural cider, a natural cava, a natural rose, a natural wine spritzer, and a bag of chips with three sample size dips (guacamole, tomatillo salsa, and Pico de Gallo). For orders of $50 or more you can also add (5 pairs of) latex gloves to your order for free, which I took advantage of because I can't find any in stores. I ordered around 8:30 last night and got it delivered today around 2pm. The delivery guy was masked and friendly, and he stepped back after setting the bags down on our door mat. Although I wasn't planning to drink the wine right away, everything was still sorta cold so I could have if I wanted to! I decided to open the wine spritzer to have with the chips and dip. I'm halfway through the chips, dip, and spritzer as I write this review, so I felt it was time to give my feedback... The spritzer is great and met my expectations. The first 1/4 of the chips tasted fresh and well-made, but the second 1/4 were (and I fear the rest may be) stale. Could be a bad day or because of the pandemic, but based on this I would buy my own chips in the future. I also thought both the tomatillo salsa and the guac were too sour, but at least I will finish the guac. The tomatillo salsa didn't have a good flavor in addition to being too sour, so if my housemates don't want it I will probably end up throwing it away. I have to give a shout out to their Pico de Gallo, though, which is BOMB! It's actually the best Pico de Gallo I think I've ever had, but honestly I don't go out searching for the best Pico de Gallo so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. I definitely haven't seen orange peppers used in other pico de Gallo I've had, and it adds a nice flavor. I will 100% order from FFL again, probably as soon as I go through the wines I already ordered...so...maybe next week. read more

I cannot understand how amazing of a store this is. This place doesn't just sell wine and spirits, they sell drinkable stories and journeys. I've been coming here for a little over a month and every single wine I've tried here has been an absolutely amazing experience. I recommend this store to everyone who will listen. Easiest 5 stars ever! read more

Fancy Free is a liquor store on a lovely, shady stretch of Burbank Blvd. They are known for their local delivery but this is the actual store. It's incredible. Inside is sleek and sophisticated and bottles are beautifully laid out. They have an ultra curated selection of bottles and even barware. There is stuff here you just can't find at other spots in LA. Their rum selection is particularly amazing. And they have a HUGE selection of pet nat wines. Prices are a 3-10 dollars higher on average than a discounted spot but they are fair. Coming here is an amazing experience. Go support this place! read more

God bless Fancy Free. I received the Yuzu Penicillin Kit with Suntory as an Xmas gift and it's OUTSTANDING! I'd been craving a true craft cocktail and this was it. I actually froze half the mixer as it's just me and have been defrosting it weekly for my weekend cocktails. Just as delicious as it was fresh. (Quick tip -- add a Lagavulin floater. Holy smokin' delicious.) The only hiccup was that my ice was slightly melted when it got here so when I refroze it, some of the blocks stuck together and I couldn't get them apart again without smashing them to pieces. Nonetheless, I loved this kit so much I sent the same one to some cocktail-loving friends who enjoyed it just as much. In other words, these kits makes fantastic gifts. Thank you for existing Fancy Free! Can't wait to try your other cocktails! read more

Ain't your daddy's liquor store. Well, I don't know that for sure since I never actually went inside my dad's preferred liquor store, where he would occasionally stop for a single tallboy on a Saturday afternoon while I waited in the car. All I know is that Fancy Free looks more inviting from the outside. I didn't actually step inside FFL either, because they are seamless and make curbside pickup a breeze. I placed an online order in the morning for some things that needed restocking, and a few new items to add to my bar. Many of us currently have extra time on our hands, and for those of us who miss our bars and bartenders of the Before Times, why not try replicating the Negronis, mai tais, and Manhattans at home (or, barring that, just making an old fashioned for the millionth time)? FFL's selection is a bit more boutique than you'll find at your average emporium, which really means that they carry the good stuff and you can look elsewhere for the rest. They also sell pre-mixed cocktail kits where you assemble the drink at home - fun! It's same-day pickup with online orders. They also offer delivery, though as of this review that offering is temporarily suspended due to COVID. Contactless pickup couldn't be any easier- you park on the street, call with your order number, pop your trunk, and they'll run it right out to you. Then with a friendly wave you're off, back home to enjoy the bounty. I accidentally drove past the store at first, so if it helps anyone- it's a corner storefront, Burbank and Lamer. Northwest corner. read more

Fancy Free Liquor - Today's haul. A little over $200 for everything. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Burbank, California

Opening a new business in LA seems hard, but opening during a pandemic seems a heck of a lot harder. Even still, Fancy Free Liquor is doing the dang thing and bringing us booze in the time of COVID (and for that I am thankful). I haven't physically been in due to social distancing restrictions, but I ordered a bottle of natural wine (Valentina Passalacqua's Sovracchiaro) via their website yesterday and it was easy peasy. The shop is in Burbank and I live in Pasadena, so I opted for the $5 delivery and it arrived the next afternoon. You can also pick up for free, but $5 is honestly a good deal for getting to stay in my jammies most of the day. I received a text when my delivery was here and the drop off was contactless. I do wish there was a way to tip my courier online with a card since most businesses are cutting down on cash (...and let's be real, I'm terrible at keeping it around). In addition to wine, Fancy Free has beer, spirits, cocktails to go, mixers, kits, bar tools, fancy cocktail ice, snacks, hand sanitizer, and merch. I have my eye on a tiki mug, a few bottles of wine, and the negroni kit for next time. Will have to stop in to check out the shop when that's a thing, but for now I'm super pleased with my delivery experience! read more

Talk about amazing! The drinks are spectacular and the customer service is unbeatable. I ordered drinks for a small party (socially distant of course!) and wouldn't you know I accidentally order for "pick up". Thankfully when they called to confirm my they alerted me to my mistake. They even allowed me to come by for a late pick up! Five star drinks and customer service above and beyond. read more
