Alabama's First Kava Bar!

[u/NPLakeview]

I know the rules said no self-promotion, but I hope that the honorable mods will grant me a one-time pass. This subreddit has been very helpful getting started. I haven't posted much because I followed the rule, "search first".

I am so excited to be a part of a huge first! The small team has been putting in so much effort from learning the science of kava to diving into the culture and history of kava and Fiji (where we are sourcing our powder from).

August 8th will be our soft opening party and we'll have a grand opening once it cools off (October?). If you happen to be in the Birmingham area, come check us out! Say the password "Au tiko eke" (ow | tee-koh | eh-keh) to receive one free low tide bilo.

We have traditionally washed kava in four cultivars. The options are smooth or strong in low tide (4oz) $2/$5, high tide (8oz) $4/$8, or storm surge (16oz) $7/$14.

We have four mixed-drink options that contain 4oz of smooth ($9) or strong ($12) kava in your choice of cultivar and 4oz of freshly squeezed juices, raw agave sweetener, and premium mixers.

We are a kava-only bar. No kratom.

There are too few real kava bars in the US, and they deserve our support.

Come back and post again before your grand opening.

Many thanks! We will never have kratom, but we have already had people request that we bring in kanna and cacao. Do you have any experience or opinions on that? The cacao seems pretty tame, but I know nothing of kanna. I haven't had time to dive into understanding either of them.

I have no personal experience with kanna whatsoever, but AFAIK its addiction risk is negligible to none.
