Where to eat with cannabis: lounges with food and infused dinners

Cannabis dining is growing up. California now lets licensed lounges serve food and host shows, San Francisco opened a new café permit this summer, and chefs in several cities run infused dinners that pair each course with a measured dose. Here’s where to eat, and what to know before you go.

Lounges and cafés with food

• The Original Cannabis Café West Hollywood, Calif.
  The country’s first licensed cannabis café (formerly Lowell Café), with a full food and drink menu and cannabis service at the table. It’s in our Directory.
• Sessions by the Bay Consumption Lounge & Café National City, Calif. (San Diego area)
  A lounge with a café menu just south of San Diego. Also in our Directory.
• Atomic Lab Lounge & Café Cathedral City, Calif.
  A Coachella Valley lounge with a café, near Palm Springs. Also in our Directory.
• Red Falcon Lounge & Café Coachella, Calif.
  Lounge and café in the festival town itself.
• Mercy Wellness Lounge & Café Cotati, Calif.
  A Sonoma County lounge and café, easy to pair with a wine-country day.
• Palm Springs lounges Palm Springs, Calif.
  The city voted in August to let every licensed lounge sell non-cannabis food and drinks, host live entertainment and hold up to 24 ticketed events a year.
• San Francisco cannabis cafés San Francisco
  A new café permit took effect Aug. 23, 2026. Approved cafés can serve prepared food and nonalcoholic drinks and host live shows, but can’t cook cannabis into the food, and no alcohol or tobacco is allowed. In the first year, permits go mainly to existing SF dispensaries, so watch lounges like Moe Greens and Barbary Coast.
• Smoke Lab Lounge at Seven Point Danville, Ill.
  Snacks and drinks (including hemp drinks), a stage for live shows, and a kitchen in the works.
• The Lounge at Xena Jersey City, N.J.
  New Jersey lounges can’t sell food or alcohol, but you can have food from local restaurants delivered to your table.

Infused dinners and supper clubs

• Cannabis Supper Club Los Angeles
  Ticketed multi-course dinners at secret LA locations, revealed a day or two before. Menus run five to seven courses at roughly 5 to 10 mg of THC each, paired with flower, rosin or hash.
• Chartreuse Dinner Club Phoenix
  Chef Aliya Waldman hosts four-course infused dinners for up to eight guests. You pick your intensity on a five-step scale, and cannabis-free plates are available. Seats were $175, and new menus drop on her Instagram on the 20th of each month.
• Dazed and Infused Chicago
  An infused dinner plus a three-comic stand-up show at Pasta Via in the West Loop, with brand samples and an outdoor consumption patio. Limited to 60 guests.
• Popcultivate Los Angeles
  Seasonal pop-up dinners with about 5 mg of THC per course and infused mocktails.
• Bull & Dragon Los Angeles and Venice
  Farm-to-table micro-dose menus of five to seven courses at private events.

Eat smart

• Ask how many milligrams of THC are in each course before you book. If you’re new to edibles, pick the lowest option or a cannabis-free plate, and wait at least an hour before having more; edibles can take up to two hours to kick in.
• Don’t mix with alcohol, and line up a ride home. Never drive after an infused meal.
• Pop-up dinners change dates and venues often, so confirm details on the host’s own page.

Just hungry? Cheba Hut, a cannabis-themed toasted sub chain, doesn’t serve any cannabis, but it’s long been a late-night favorite.
