Very nice place and very friendly staff. I had a great time trying new drinks. I recommend going here it's a totally different kind of bar where you catch a good buzz but you don't have to deal with drunks! .

EDIT - they think I’m a former/disgruntled employee ? I am not. I am a former loyal customer that has grown to be appalled by their business practices.Apparently they delete reviews that they don’t like so I’m repeating what I said before: grossly overpriced for the product. They advertise they are superior because they don’t use extracts, but if that’s the case, then their drinks should actually be CHEAPER than the market average. I also was offended that they suggest we tip a minimum of 25% just to have some underpaid and exploited employees pour a few drinks. I’m questioning the ethics of how this company is operated and the legality of some of their practices. What I also disliked is that they basically offer only high sugar drinks/flavors. For a company that boasts being about wellness, they seem to offer very little in the way of healthy alternatives for drink additives. Oh, and to be back on the topic of ethics and practices - the fact that they delete reviews that they dislike because it shines a light on the seedy underbelly of what they do says all there is to know about them. Which is why I am now lowering my previous review from 2 stars to 1.

Want an alternative to the bar scene? This is an absolutely must visit place! I made a trip to Botanical Brewing as I was visiting from out of town and the reviews were very positive. The staff are super friendly. The manager Brandi was very kind and welcoming. She went out of her way to introduce me to other patrons and brewery staff. I chose a lot of focus drinks, and they were excellent. If you want food, you can order from a local place and have it delivered. I recommend the pizza slice for $4. Excellent! Overall, had a great experience. Can't wait to visit again!

I asked Mason to create me a pina colada and he killed it! He used the island breeze on tap missed with pineapple juice and coconut milk and it was delicious! Very attentive and great customer service! Jason was kavatending and as always did an amazing job!

Great service and and even better atmosphere! Huge selection of Kava and Kratom! They even have canned drinks canned brewed right here on premises

Great alternative to a traditional brewery and alcohol. Similar euphoric results without the intoxication and hangover.

The kavatenders are always amazing and kind. This place feels like home. I am always happy when I am there. It is a great place to chill with friends. Red kratom is the best.

First time going to a place like this in a while. Shelby was super helpful explaining everything to me and made the whole experience amazing. Not to mention the drinks were amazing.

I stepped into this business on Tuesday, I had been seeing all the products and activities they have been doing via Instagram, but never stopped in. I decided to that day. Not knowing how to order anything from their menu, I was greeted right when I walking. There wasn't many people there at around 9-10am but that's fine. I was comfortable being there. Great music on the radio was being played. The Kavatender - Ty was there that morning. She took her time with me, explaining the different types of drinks to get, the customers favorites, and I told her I had back pain and she helped me find something that would help me. The price was good for what I got. I told her I wanted a fruity drink with a calming shot and some red vein for pain. She also let me try all the flavors on tap in a shot. And I got a free bowl of kava. Since I was a first timer. The room was big. Plenty of games around to play if you had a group. They had a mini stage, and high top tables. They are pet friendly. They do yoga on the porch sometimes. They have clothing with their brand on it. And so many things to choose from. I got what I got for $10.68 or something it was just the right amount I couldn't drink it all so I took it with me. Not the effects are a different story. They started working like an hour after being there which was fine. So they do make you feel much calmer and relaxed. THANK YOU TO BOTANICAL BREWING COMPANY FOR HELPING ME FEEL COMFORTABLE AND OKAY WHILE BEING THERE. I suffer from panic attacks and I hate being in busy places but this is going to be my new official hang out. I hope to even make some friends there to. Thanks again Ty for helping me the other day. You rock girl! Your super sweet, have a killer smile, and your knowledge for the kava bar is amazing. I am definitely going to be bringing my husband with me sometime.
Great place to go and relax and release the tension of the day with a kava Bulla.

I have been frequenting Kava Culture for a very long time now. My experience with this company has always been nothing short of amazing. I was first introduced to kava and kratom a few years ago by my girlfriend and I have been hooked ever since. I have never been to a place where everyone always makes you feel so welcomed. I can honestly say that the friends I have made here have turned into my extended family. As someone who was new to the area, I came here not knowing really anyone. Between Kava Culture Fort Myers Beach and Botanical, I have met the most amazing people. I normally do not write reviews for anything, but I feel strongly that two people deserve credit where credit is due. These two are Jason and AJ. These two amazing, kind hearted and caring people are what make this place such a special and welcoming environment. Their energy and spirit really do light up the room. Jason was one of the first kava tenders that I met while frequenting the Fort Myers Beach location. My girlfriend and I have gotten to know him over time and he has been nothing but great to us. It is a privilege to call him a friend. Jason is very knowledgeable and passionate about kava and kratom and is always thrilled to talk about it with new patrons. I have seen him first hand work very hard to help bring this company to where it is today. The amount of people that show up for his shifts are unbelievable. There is honestly is something special going on when he is running the bar. It truly is my favorite time of the week when AJ and Jason are working-They have become very good friends of mine. I feel as if management doesn't give them enough credit for all that they do. These two are very highly valuable assets to this company and they should be grateful to have them. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for something unique and different.

Very chill vibe, awesome place to socialize without being around alcohol. If Jason is working, he’ll answer literally every question you have about anything kava and kratom!

So relaxing here-better than a bar! You'll meet nice people who aren't drunk! You can drink all night and drive home no DWI. Fun activities such as Jenga and they sponsor different local businesses on certain nights luke tarot and drag bingo . Staff is really nice and informative on products. Nice little retreat at end of work day and no hangover!

Owners: I really wanted to give this place a chance recently, and just on a whim bc it looked cool driving by. I couldn’t stay inside the venue long enough on account of the non-existent sound design. The sweet, friendly employees seem to at least “get” the issues wrt where the owners have & haven’t spent money yet for this establishment. Whoever the live act was that evening: they were clearly doing the best they had with what equipment they probably carted along themselves. Again, unknown if the live act was paid or unpaid. If you’d like to keep this establishment established, please first attend to the INTERIOR NOISE ISSUES waaayyyyyyy exceeding what is OSHA-approved as safe for regular patrons, employees, and folks like me who just want to try a place out because it looks cool when you’re driving past. Additionally, the menu is cute, but far too complex and confusing for a non-regular, walk-in sort of customer. I am still in sonic/sensory/neurological pain, both ears from a very brief visit last night. It’s nearly noon EST the next day. Please fix it before someone who has more nerve damage than me is physically/neurologically hurt worse than I currently am, and sues Botanical Brewing for legitimate damages into merely merely inactive records on Sunbiz. Regular people need to earn a living (your employees), and should be able to check your place out - whether or not they are physically able to safely & painlessly spend money at the venue. Employees ESPECIALLY shall not be subjected to unsafe noise levels WHATSOEVER without proper PPE, certified training on how to safely & effectively fit-test + use the **employer-provided PPE** as per US CFR. Regarding OSHA:: the phrase “Regulations are written in blood.” Mine happened over decades of Actual Safety Culture profession. I still got nerve damage, despite otherwise being in excellent health and absolutely insisting on employer-provided PPE as per US Federal Codes. Legally it does not matter how, when, why or how often whichever employee is on shift during live events. Employers MUST provide PPE & training. Right now CCPD would be hard-pressed to prioritize responding to an OSHA-unsafe interior noise hazard scenario. They most assuredly have better things to do. Please do better for your employees, live acts and at least regular patrons. Mdrchōd, not cool. Not cool AT ALL.
