A friend of mine in Portland recommended this fine kava establishment. Stronger kava than most places. They make a smooth-tasting grog. Very nice kava tender. Easy enough to find. Looks like Oakland is making a comeback 🤞

This place is my safe space. The atmosphere is welcoming, the bartenders are amazing people (with fire playlists!), and the community has become a second family to me. The traditional kava is perfect, but the sparklers are an innovative alternative to the original earthy taste. This is the ONLY bar, kava or otherwise, where I know I won't face discomfort or harassment while I'm relaxing, where I can leave my drink unattended and I won't have any worry about it being messed with. The owners, Ty and Troy, have created and cultivated a community place where you can feel comfortable, relax and exist in a space that loves and accepts you for you. Blessed to have found this kava bar and the lovely people who work there, as well as the patrons.

Refreshing to see a place that serves non-alcoholic cocktails. The staff is very knowledgeable about the particular kava that is available and will offer a recommendation on request. Love this place ♥️

Chill place with great Kava at reasonable prices. Has the vibe of a dive bar, minus the alcohol which is a nice alternative to have. Also, the couches there are ideal for naps :)
