Kava Culture Key West — Local services in Key West

I give it two stars for these reasons; one for it being a kava bar and the others for it being in Key West. The building is unique and decorations cute, it's a good place for new comers to the Kava Community, to be seduced by extracts and the lowest grade kava in the industry. "Tudei" Kava! They over charge and underserve their kava. Even tho it lists a variety of kava (premium, Vanuatu, etc) they primarily serve the lowest grade Solomon at Premium rates..

I'm from St Pete FL and have been in Key West since 2018. There was zero kava bars. I was excited for this place to open 3 years before they got their permits. Since my first visit to my last , I have waisted tons of my money, just to be disappointed, hell I even worked there 6 months to build a nighttime vibe and encourage locals (I fought for a straight year to get a “locals discount” made available (when they did they raised their prices and increased the suggested gratuities in TOAST POS to be 30% and higher) also damaged my gut health (sometimes the roots in the kava still or they spoon off the top and it's all water no kava).

Those of us in the real "Kava Culture " promote Noble Kava and served in traditional ways, avoiding Extracts, instant , and or micronized kava. The root has to be strained out and these other methods are just not good. Phrases like "Drink Love", "Better than Booze" , "Respect the Root" have been reduced to just marketing slogans and cheap gimmicks here.

Bula Bula

PS "Bula is a fajian word used in many kava ceremonies as Bula- Bula , as a toast meaning "to long life and good health " .

Traditional serving sizes are called "shells" as they use coconut shells, at 4oz per single serving ( 8oz for a DBL , 12 oz triple, and 16oz Quads) here they subvert the word Bula to mean a Bowl , you put anything in to toast, and unless you get a Togo cup, it's hard to spot the amount served. pay attention

Every DoorDash order is messed up. My last one was supposed to be 32 oz I even text first. When they failed , they blamed me for using DoorDash , said it was an optical illusion based on cup sizes, then banned me from coming in..

Great set up, beautiful chill environment 👌 comfortable layout of furniture, good selection of books, excellent explanation of kava and options on menu. They even have an art wall 🧱 , that you can draw on dope right! It's even located in a more quiet area with an organic shop next door and a coffee shop across the street. The actual place isn't the problem at all, the staff in this place have to be about the most uppity, and tight people I've ever met like how a vegetarian thinks they're better than meat eaters. I understand the dynamics of how a business works, but I don't typically enjoy kava nor I believe it does anything. To me anyway. But I like to come and do my reading and writing there which I was told I could do even if I didn't buy anything. And I buy the chips. (There actually At least that's what nick told me I was allowed to do.. anyway, this woman didn't Great me , ask how was my day, if I knew anything about kava, if I'd like to come in and sit down from the minute she walked up to was like her sole focus was to get me to leave. . .but why? She was treating me like a homeless guy who comes and sleeps on their property when they aren't open. Mind you, I've been to this bar in multiple accusations sometimes I don't but anything. Another employee is rude to me because I'm friends with her girl friend Mickey, which was my first bests friend years before this bar tender moved here. GET A MORE...
