Speakeasy Central Kava Bar — Restaurant in Saint Petersburg

I think this is the best kava bar in town. I have been to several of them. First of all, for being downtown (high costs, rent insurance, etc.) their prices are really cheap, considering.

Secondly, the staff and the customer general vibe are great. Everybody seems to be friends. Dogs allowed, you can vape inside (no cigarettes), comfortable AC and couches. They change the music up a lot and they always have something interesting or funny playing on the TV.

Their flavored syrups are made with real fruit, and it is clearly tastier and less chemically tasting than the other stuff.

The coffee is really good, too.

HUGE PLUS: They have their own parking, so if you can get a spot you don't have to worry about meters or moving your car. You can just chill. Pretty sweet for downtown.

The building itself is big and open so if you are claustrophobic (like me) it is quite comfortable.

I don't think I can come up with anything bad to say, not yet at least. I don't think they serve food besides bags of chips and jerky, but what kava bar does serve food?

Check it out. You will...

Great spot!! I celebrated Pride this year during an alcohol-free diet. We were bar hopping on Central and I saw there was a local kava place!

My friend and I walked over and Speakeasy Central Kava Bar had my name written all over it!!! They had so many great canned and bottled options- from Perrier and Vita Coco to Liquid Death and Coconut water and a variety of kombuchas. They also had a snack display with Clif bars, nuts, and other assorted vegan and allergy friendly treats.

I ordered a kava 70-30 to-go (that the other bars were friendly enough to let me bring in) and a Living Vitalitea Paradise Passion kombucha for later- my friend got a Liquid Death water.

Customer service was excellent, no wait, and I...

Oh man! I had the pleasure of being served by Doug the kava tender when I visited Speakeasy Kava Grand Central in St. Pete. He went above and beyond to explain the different adaptogenic and coffee drink options they provide. After a couple of minutes of discussion, recommendations, and making sure they had in stock what he was offering I chose a Golden Lions Milk!!! How friggin cool does that sound dudes! I asked him to spice it up a bit with cayenne which he got as excited as I did about and gladly obliged. I am so happy with this place, the Spicy Golden Lions Milk, and Doug's exceptional customer service that I would highly recommend coming here to experience it for yourself! Love,...
