Thank you for coming to America!

Bartender has had better things to do than take an order both times I've been. You really have to assert yourself. After you finally get her attention you get a pretty nasty drink. Then, sometimes, someone makes you do a vaguely offensive chant and you have to chug your expensive drink or the hippies get mad at you.

Went here for the first time and it was very nice. The kava is really good quality and it's really friendly. They gave me a free shell since it was my first kava bar, super nice. BULA!!!! I have been drinking kava for a year and wish I would have gone to something like this sooner

This is a Kava bar. If you’ve had it before, you know. It’s a bitter root steeped like tea, and you drink it from a coconut, Fiji style.

It can be relaxing, or energetic, but generally stimulates creativity and conversation. It’s a good alternative to going to bars.

This kava lounge is spacious and comfy. You come in and make yourself comfortable. Then you go to the bar when you are ready. It’s meant for you to relax. If you come in a hurry, you may be frustrated. You probably want to spend an hour or two for the full experience.

The lady at the bar was super friendly, the kava tasted good and the vibe was chill and pleasant. However I did end up getting gastroenteritis from here. I had plans for my trip to CA that got halted by frequent vomiting and other gross things.. that left me in bed for a full day and a half. Cool experience but 10000% not worth the risk again.

Haven't been here for a couple years, kava has gone down hill. My drink tasted super watered down. 👎

Fun, welcoming place. Kava is an acquired taste but it’s nice to have a relaxing beverage without the hangover, and they even had a surprise special ahead of a bar-wide toast. The open mic was a good time and brought a friendly crowd on a Monday night.

Kava is not my thing, I discovered here. Though, I did have the piña colada and it masked the dirt flavor well. I don't love the numb tongue sensation, though the euphoric sensation is cool
I'd go back and try something not kava next time.
However, the service was great, the vibe was chill, and the music was excellent.

I love this place and the kava vibe. Unfortunately, i am 20 - 30 years older than most of the friendly patrons, so I do not go, often.
