Frequently Asked Questions

What is kava?

Kava is a traditional drink made from the root of the Piper methysticum plant, native to the Pacific Islands. It’s known for promoting relaxation, calmness, and social connection without impairing judgment or causing a hangover.

What does kava feel like?

Most people experience a relaxed body, calm mind, and easier conversations. Think of it as a clear, chill vibe — like unwinding without losing control. You stay present, social, and mentally sharp.

Do your drinks contain alcohol?

No. Our bar is 100% alcohol-free. All our beverages are made from kava, botanicals, teas, and non-alcoholic ingredients designed to help you relax, focus, and enjoy your night without the consequences of drinking alcohol.

Is kava safe to drink?

When consumed responsibly and in traditional, water-based preparations, kava has been enjoyed safely for centuries. If you have liver issues, take certain medications, or are pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare provider before drinking kava. We encourage moderation and prioritize education.

How does kava compare to alcohol?

Unlike alcohol, kava doesn’t cause hangovers, impaired judgment, slurred speech, or next-day regret. It relaxes the body while keeping the mind clear — making it a popular choice for people wanting a healthier social alternative and a better morning after.

What is kratom, and do you serve it?

Kratom comes from a Southeast Asian tree and is sometimes used for mood and energy. Some kratom products in today’s market contain enhanced alkaloids like 7-OH, which can have addictive or unsafe effects. Our focus is on creating a safe, positive environment, so we always prioritize natural sourcing without enhanced 7-OH.

Will kava make me tired?

Kava can be relaxing, but many customers feel calm yet focused — not sleepy. The experience varies based on the strain, dose, and your body. Some blends are more uplifting, while others are better for winding down.

How long does it take to feel kava’s effects?

Most people feel the effects within 10–20 minutes. A slight tingling in your mouth is normal — that’s kava’s natural numbing sensation.

Can I drive after drinking kava?

Kava does not impair motor skills the way alcohol does, but everyone reacts differently. If you feel deeply relaxed or tired, plan accordingly and stay safe.

Is kava addictive?

Kava does not act like alcohol or opioids and has a low potential for dependence when used responsibly. Many people drink kava regularly as part of their wellness or social routine.
