Lounges in Key West, FL

“We first discovered Kava Culture - Key West about two years ago. It was just one block from our house, and even though we walked by it countless times, we really had no idea what it was. When we finally decided to go in, we were immediately welcomed by the kava tender, who took the time to thoroughly explain their products, how they work, the different types, flavors, and mixers available. It was a lot to take in at first, but incredibly informative. Over the next few weeks, we sampled different options and eventually found what worked best for us. Personally, I love the Red Vein Kratom. It’s very calming and does an amazing job relieving body pain. It feels similar to taking a pain pill, but without the “loopy” or impaired feeling. I can have a few and still be fully functional and ready to work—if anything, I tend to get more done afterward. I’ve dealt with back pain since an injury at 15 and made a conscious decision years ago to avoid becoming dependent on prescription pain medications. While you can certainly find horror stories online about kratom, like anything else, moderation is key. For us, that means a couple of drinks in the morning, a couple in the afternoon, and maybe one before bed. Neither kratom nor kava makes you feel drunk or out of control—just relaxed, comfortable, and clear-headed enough to take calls, answer emails, and function normally. Because of this, we’ve actually quit drinking alcohol altogether. Beyond the products, what truly sets Kava Culture apart is the sense of community. We live over 1,200 miles from our closest family members, and this place has genuinely become our home away from home. We spend holidays here with potlucks, gift exchanges, board games, and friends who feel like family. It has reinforced our belief that life in Key West really is better. Having a safe, judgment-free place where everyone knows your name means more to us than we can put into words. Highly recommend.“

“It's my second time coming back to Key West and this place was the first place I went. I didn't stay at the hotel, just came for Rum Row. I was so happy to see Jamie was still there. He always has taken great care of me and other customers. The Rum Row Punch is so good. Highly recommend this place!“

“My husband and I were there tonight. We were at your restaurant 12 years ago and we had the Soul Mama soup then and I had to go back while in Key West to have it again. Even in 100 degree weather I had to order me some soul mama soup. The lobster special was very tempting, but I couldn’t pass up my favorite. Thank you for keeping Soul Mama on the menu ❤️🎉“
