Kavasutra Kava Bar

As with the other person who reviewed this place… Very creepy and Cliquey place.
I agree with the fact that Kava in general, tastes like crap and that Kratom /​Kratem stuff is highly addictive. So addictive, I heard, that even half way houses ban the use of it. They definitely prey on the people in recovery and the younger generation. Any time I’ve been near that place, it’s either people in recovery or 18 – 20 year olds that aren’t allowed to drink alcohol, that hang out. Not saying they are bad people at all. In fact, MOST of my friends either go there or purchase the Kratem stuff they offer.
Also, the owner yelled at me the other day for talking to one of my friends who was sitting outside of the place. He told me that if I ever «bothered» (which I wasn’t) any of his patrons sitting outside, that he would get violent.
So yeah, IF I could give it a ZERO rating, I would!

Went into the bar tonight as a first timer. Wasn’t packed so I asked a lot of questions. Felt pushed into trying certain drinks but it was happy hour and the prices were right. Really appreciate a happy hour on a Saturday. The locals seemed to know more than the waitstaff but that’s ok. Kava didn’t really affect me, had a double + egg bowl + shot. I’m not sure if the taste was bad because it was kava or the way it was mixed but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Left after playing some games and meeting some new people plus learning some new things. Not sure if we’ll be back but did enjoy our time there.

Overpriced ‘mixed drinks’ are gross. The guy at the bar was a salesman: he convinced us to buy two $ 15 drinks which didn’t do anything (we didn’t feel anything). We’ve had better kava in downtown WPB. Total disappointment!

This place sucks. The kava taste terrible, it’s expensive, and the staff are meat heads looking for an excuse to assault the patrons. Pretty much the total opposite of a relaxing experience.

I’m not a kava fanatic, but I do like kratom.
Kavasutra I is OK, but I feel II is a better atmosphere (see my other review). I’ve gone to I get kratom at least 4 times, and I pretty much just purchase it and leave, I don’t hang out there, whereas at II I feel comfortable hanging at the bar for some time. It’s a frat-​boy kind of vibe, lots of young dudes staring (I don’t dress like a hooker and I’m not supermodelish, so it’s not warranted). And I usually go late afternoon/​early evening, so it’s kind of weird to get that sort of vibe so early in the day. I’d understand if it were midnight.
The people behind the bar are somewhat friendly, but the prices are higher here than II which is unusual, and the last time I went they didn’t have 15X, they only had a stronger one. The atmosphere, besides the frat boys, is decent, but a little cramped and noisy. I prefer II even though it’s further for me.
I’m not saying it’s terrible or anything, I just prefer II. And like I said, I don’t actually drink kava, so I’m not an expert or anything. Who knows, they might have a better kava selection, maybe it’s cheaper than II, and they make up in price for the kratom. Just a wild guess. If you’re a young dude or party girl, go for it. :)
