Kava Bar

I took friends to the Kava bar for their first try of kava drink and they loved it. All looking forward to more visits

Not your average bar. Serves traditional Kava from Fiji. Dried and pounded into a powder on site. There are two types of kava sold here Waka and Lawena. Very friendly staff. You are able to purchase your own set for a traditional kick back in your own home. You have got to try it out at least once your in your life. If you want something to relieve stress and anxiety kava will help with that!

I rarely get five stars. It only goes to my favorite places in an area. Most people and San Bruno go out of the area. This is one of the few places That for example I have left San Francisco to go to that is in my own backyard because of its unique LAVA Root bar. This is on the northern end of downtown San Bruno. While most of the places here are dollar store type establishments, there are a few gems. Coffee places and bars serving alcohol are a dime a dozen. This is a great casual date lounge that serves Kava route in large wooden bowls that you drink with coconut shell type cups. The owner is always very friendly and courteous. While I don’t know the exact history of the Kava Root, there is a definite Fujian, Tongan feel to the place. There is a pool table, a couple of TVs that usually have sports on, and A gift shop type area Right at the entrance. The shirts in the gift shop area At the entrance sort of masks the lounge area and doesn’t do much for curb appeal. However, this is San Bruno, a suburb which is not really known for its aesthetics. Bottom line is that you’re coming here for a unique product and a very friendly business owner. The drink has a very earthy tea flavor that you don’t add sugar to. There is a calming buzz affect that is sometimes described as a sensation of dental Novacaine. No caffeine jitters , no alcohol hangover – just a calming tea for mid afternoon or late evening. You can buy Kava tea packets to go but they are not as potent as the ground route that he serves. One large serving for two people is only $15!nIt is open during the pandemic as people are appropriately spaced. A hidden gem amongst dollar stores.

Kava Bar is awesome, clean and very professionally run. It's a place to hangout after a hard day's work. You have privacy with your friends and group....

Kava and hospitality is great. Malo bulas‼
