There isn't any food, but if you come when Jaopaya Thai is open you can order from there! The thai place is literally next door. Thai and kava would have had been such a vibe, but we came very late. BUT they allow outside food, so we door dashed from McDonald's to the lounge. The kava drinks taste so good. I got the oreo one with 1 shot. The service was amazing. The inside was a vibe, and they had a lot of board games and such. Also they had arcade machines, I don't know if someone left their credits in but I was able to play for free. So cool! I definitely recommend this place for people who want to try Kava. Thank you to all of the staff there that made this visit welcoming.

Neptune & Pink Bliss

I love this Kava Lounge. I love spending my time here with my boyfriend and my friends. The employees are extremely sweet with quick service. Erika & Francis are truly the best. I come here very often because the vibes are great and so are the people. There's an indoor & outdoor area with music, pretty LEDS, great decor for every holiday, arcade machines, board games, TV'S, a bathroom and you can also smoke outside. The drinks are so good and the kava is amazing and a great alternative if you don't drink alcohol. They host fun events often! I recommend this place to all of my friends and everyone who is contemplating on coming.

Shirley Temple, kava single bowls

Everyone here is always so nice to us and the ambiance is amazing. I love going here often with my girlfriend and we both love all of the drinks, they're really good. Great service and music always, and inside and outside areas are very nice. The Shirley temple is my favorite drink so I recommend that to anyone that comes here.

Oreo Oat Milkshake

Coming in at noon, the place was pretty quiet. But we were welcomed by a kind server. The outside was a bit jarring and loud because they're right across from a car wash. Suprisingly, they were able to mask the noise outside really well and it also was not noticable in their cute back patio. We really enjoyed the oreo oatmilk shake. It didn't taste any different from a normal milk shake. The Horchata was also delicious, It was lighter and refreshing. The relaxing effect of kava was Interesting. We enjoyed a sort of body relaxation and didn't really notice until we realized that we had a sort of body calmness and we're just happily vibing. We'll def do this again and look forward to trying their free games and try other flovors. the kava shot was bigger than I expected. And on its own, it tasted almost sour, aromatic after taste. Definitely a sipping experience.

Tried kava for the first time--tastes like earthy regret but feels like a warm hug from the universe. Fifteen minutes in, my stress melted, my shoulders dropped, and suddenly I was vibing with strangers like we were old friends at a beach bonfire. Not your average drink, but if you're looking to sip your way to inner peace without the hangover, this root's got you.

Strawberry horchata & regular horchata drinks with Kava

Great place to stop by and hang out either solo or with some friends! You'll be able to get some work done here or play some of the board games they carry. I recommend getting the strawberry horchata drink, extremely delicious

El servicio al cliente aquí fue mal. Por favor, investiguen sobre Kava... No buena. El matcha estaba en el menú, pero no estaba listo para servir. ¿Por qué?

They were playing great music, they have a pool table and they open up the front so you can see the interior of the bar from the sidewalk. The bartender knows how to make drinks!!! They were good. We ordered tater tots and the dipping sauces that came with it one being ketchup and the other one I am not sure what it was but it was great. I'm impressed with the bartender, there was a group of 7 people and they were getting hammered! LOL They had just done a round of shots and they were drinking something else. The bartender cut them off. I've never seen that before but I respect that. Good job for caring about them and not what they are spending on drinks. I'm def going back again!!! Cheers

So this review comes from a place of deep affection and mild geometric confusion. We ordered the Short Rib Quesadilla. Now, in my years of quesadilla consumption, I've come to expect a certain... wholeness. A roundness. A circle, if you will. What arrived at the table was a quesadilla that had apparently gone through some kind of culinary origami -- folded in half, then cut in half -- leaving me with what I can only describe as a quarter moon of disappointment. I'm not a mathematician, but I do know that a full tortilla divided by two, divided by two again, is not a full quesadilla. It is, however, apparently a full-priced one. My waitress -- bless her -- had no answer when I raised the issue. And honestly, what could she say? This is clearly a management philosophy I simply wasn't briefed on before ordering. To the kitchen: customers generally enjoy receiving the entire quesadilla. Just a heads up. And to management: if those are just the natural dimensions of your tortillas, I have one genuine request -- please tell me where you're buying them, because I'd love to serve "half portions" at home and see how that goes over. Will I be back? Absolutely. Will I order the quesadilla again? Not a chance. Not even half a chance.

I've only been a small handful of times since 2021, but was nice to come back in again on a date night. This long-standing all inclusive lgbtq+ space is celebrating their 20th Anniversary this week as well as the birthday of one of it's awesome bartenders ChrisTopher, who served us up some great drinks tonight. This dive bar meets billiard bar meet karaoke lounge (two nights a week - Sunday and Thursday) meets double patio areas and more is a neighborhood favorite. When I lived down the street it was one of my favorite places to go whether walking along Reseda Blvd up to the street entrance or down Hart St to Canby Avenue through the patio and back door/main entrance via it's shared parking lot with neighboring businesses including a large music studio in an industrial-esque neighborhood block. There's plenty of parking between the lot and along Canby without restrictions, but also metered parking on Hart St and Reseda Blvd. It's a little more than a mile up from the Metro G - Orange Line and also rideshare friendly (back entrance drop off and pick up is often best as the front door is typically closed and/or locked at times. They have restrooms for all genders, remodeled and upgraded. Tall tables inside with seating as well as bar seating on all ends of their double sided bar. Drinks are a little more than your dive club prices, but loaded and generous portions. One downside is the AC system which is not powerful at all, and with the back doors generally open letting out in contained cool air it can be humid and muggy inside. It definitely cools off at night and in cooler months. They've made a lot of updates and small renovations, but the AC not so much. They have so cool themed nights like goth night via Club Caelum, drag events, drag race viewing Fridays, go-go dancing nights, competitions, Sunday BBQ and more.
