Kava Kula Kava Bar & Lounge

Very chill spot to hang out and enjoy some nice kava. Every night is a theme night I usually go during trivia night or open mic night. Very welcoming as well

Update: place no longer feels as welcoming as it used to

Never had kava before… Drinks were delicious and Brooke was very helpful and knowledgeable explaining all the great benefits!

Brooke was very inviting and made a great recommendation for a delicious K-Tea. The atmosphere is so cool—hands down the best kava bar I’ve been to so far!

Brad is an amazing kavatender. He makes the best kava drinks I’ve ever had and I’ve been to many kava bars. He’s knowledgeable and personable. The kava they have is so smooth you can’t even taste it. I had the kombucha which was so light and refreshing. Along with a mojito kava and a mango kavarita. The Moscow mule kava was also delicious. This was hands down the best kava bar I have ever been too! If you are around here and you enjoy kava do not miss this place! It’s OUTSTANDING!

Vibe checks out

Absolutely love the vibes at kava kula, my kavatender Brooke was so welcoming and made me and my husbands drinks very quickly, and they looked and tasted beautiful! She did a great job explaining what kava does and gave a wonderful flight so we could taste test all the ways to have kava. Me and my husband will be back soon!
