Kings Kava — Restaurant in Hillsborough

If you're looking for a boring, beige, library-quiet tea house, congratulations, you've found the exact opposite. Kings Kava Bar is less a bar and more an immersive, high-voltage art installation sponsored by a punk rock deity.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, they take the time to guide you, answer questions, and make sure you feel right at home. I always leave feeling better than when I...

They had music playing, the garage door open with fresh fall air, truly a great way to spend my Friday night! Such a nice, chill, relaxed vibe, I even had a great time looking at the art in the bathroom. Would highly...
