Very homey kava bar. They say hi when you walk in. Chilled shots are nice quality. And, there is an outdoor patio.

A great place to relax with really nice people. Everyone will soon know your name. Come in and have a relaxing drink or the crowdpleasing tiki.

I hadn't been here for around 5 years, so I decided to pop in. I have to say that I was pleased to see that they are still open and going strong. The staff were amazing and the renovations are beautiful. I highly recommend Midtown Kava Lounge for anyone looking for an alternative to the Alcohol Bar scene. CHEERS!!

This is a wonderful place that hosts all manner of interesting and authentic folk. One of the owners is a queer Vietnamese guy that is very supportive of the community. I wouldn’t be surprised if his holy garments are rainbow.

Elizabeth and her team are phenomenal. Brought a first time Kava drinker with me and she took the time to share their mission statement, the traditions associated with kava and suggestions on how to best experience Kava. My husband had a single shell, my friend had a Tiki and I had a juice (currently pregnant). The atmosphere is super chill and the staff is great! Definitely plan on visiting again anytime we’re in town!

Great place to relax with a coffer or other non-alcoholic beverage of your choice. Indoor and outdoor seating (under an awning) available. Very relaxed atmosphere. The folks running the joint are quality people.

Best kava bar in Tallahassee!! I came to visit from Miami and Kyle & Kevin made my entire experience amazing. They guided me through all my questions, were knowledgeable & friendly- and the kava was great. Even my mom loved it. Thank you guys, I’ll be back!

Was my first time there. Staff was incredible!!! The customers were so friendly and welcoming. The drinks were the best I ever had. I hope to go again soon.
