7 Reasons to Visit a Kava Lounge

Have you ever heard of a kava lounge? These alcohol-free gathering places have been popping up all over the country, and Old Town Spring has one of its very own. Here are seven of our favorite reasons to stop in.

1. To Try Kava

Kava is a beverage from the South Pacific, prepared from the ground root of the Piper methysticum plant, a member of the pepper family. The root is mixed with water, strained, and traditionally served in a coconut shell, often with a piece of fruit on the side to chase its earthy, peppery taste. Curious about the drink itself? Start with our guide to kava.

2. To Socialize

Kava has been prepared and shared communally in Fiji and Vanuatu for centuries, and that spirit carries over to the modern kava lounge. These are friendly, conversational places, great for meeting new people, catching up with old friends, or a low-key date night.

3. To Explore the Menu

Beyond traditional kava, most lounges pour their own house specialties. At Elixir Lounge, our kava and elixir flights let you sample four flavors for $16.50, and our menu also includes teas, kombucha, coffee, and more.

4. To Catch an Event

Live music, trivia nights, open mics, parties. Kava lounges love hosting, and ours is no exception. See what's coming up on our events page.

5. To Share Your Talent

Kava lounges often showcase local talent and are frequently looking for performers, artists, and speakers. If you're looking for a stage for your music, comedy, or art, ask your local kava lounge.

6. To Grab a Snack

Most kava lounges keep something to munch on behind the bar, and depending on the night you may even find a local food vendor nearby.

7. To Take Kava To-Go

Making kava at home is an involved process, so many lounges offer kava to go. It's an easy way to enjoy a quiet night in.
