That's is the Kratom. Which was supposed to be a citrus drink made with Sprite. Didn't look or taste like it at all.
Camille G.

I went to the ahwatukee location a few weeks ago with a friend. I have had Kratom and Kava several times before and always had a great experience. Our waitress Shiro seemed nice however she wasn't able to explain kava or Kratom to myself and my friend who had never been there before and never had kava or Kratom. Which I thought was odd but didn't think much of it at the time. She brought us our drinks (we both ordered Kratom) and they both looked like muddy water and tasted like straight up plant medicine. In my experience when you order Kratom it's mixed with Sprite and other flavors but these drinks did not present that way or taste that way. My friend was not able to drink hers at all because it was too strong and gave her a headache (she had maybe three sips). Keep in mind the waitress dropped our drinks off told us they were strong and suggested we drink lots of water. My friend and I were there for several hours catching up talking and the waitress never once came back and checked on us, offered water or literally anything. Long story short it turns out the waitress made our drinks with the "bottom of the batch" which is the most concentrated part of the batch. I ended up having a very bad reaction to my ONE drink which I couldn't even finish. I broke out in hives, couldn't walk straight, had the worst case of vertigo ever and projectile vomited for the remainder of the evening. It took TWO full days for the Kratom to get out of my system. BEWARE of this particular location'! This could have been a much worse outcome however I did get medical treatment right away. I will be reporting this company to the Health Department and taking action as poorly managed facilities that serve plant medicine should NEVER EVER have staff that doesn't know literaly everything about what they are serving and how to serve it SAFELY!!!! As a wellness business owner I am a huge advocate of plant medicine and its benefits however this was a dangerous situation. When we called the manager the evening it occurred his response was "don't go to the hospital, she probably just is not used to Kratom" REALLY?!! Thank goodness my friend didn't drink her drink and was able to safely drive me home. This should have never happened. And I don't want this to happen to anyone else.

Kratom cocktails!

Walking into Mad Hatter Kava Bar for the first time felt like stepping straight into Wonderland--minus the terrifying Queen of Hearts and unsolicited riddles from a sketchy cat. Instead, we were greeted by the amazing Jill, our kava-tender (yes, that's a thing), who whipped up some next-level Kratom and Kava cocktails that had us floating in the most delightful, legal way possible. The drinks? Earthy, magical, and just the right amount of "Did I just become one with the universe?" The vibe? A chill, eclectic mix of friendly faces, trippy decor, and an atmosphere so relaxed it could probably cure road rage. The Alice in Wonderland theme is on point--like, I half expected the Mad Hatter himself to pull up with a tea set and start a philosophical debate. If you're looking for a spot to unwind, vibe with cool people, and sip on something that won't leave you regretting your life choices the next morning, this is it. We'll definitely be back--probably with top hats next time. P.S. Someone please confirm if time actually moves slower in there, or if that was just the kava talking.

This is definitely an interesting concept. They brew kava or katom like a green tea. However I will never go back. The warning of "my mouth going numb" and this was "normal" was enough to send me out the door. I did not feel safe there and not a place I would ever go again. Love the decor though

Found this lovely spot in Gilbert and discovered the wonderments of kava. Love the kava cutie sahra she is the sweetest and can answer any questions.

Kava Bar lounge!
Andrew S.

Really cool place! This just opened 4 weeks ago. They have kombucha on tap as well as cold brew CBD coffee (cactus licker). They have green, white, and red Kratom drinks with a wide variety of flavors. They have kavachava (horchata kava) which tastes really good. They also have your traditional kava (mind or body or 50:50) they add coconut oil to increase absorption. In the back of the location they have a full smoke shop with vape liquid, delta 8, cbd, Kratom capsules, extracts etc. They also have a great selection of glass! The lounge is a great place to hang out and meet new people. Everyone is super friendly and the staff makes you feel welcomed.

Recently arriving in Gilbert to visit a friend of mine from high school, we were looking to find a…read morevenue to enjoy some good cocktails. A Yelp search for local speakeasys led us to The White Rabbit, an establishment located roughly 30 minutes away from my buddy's home. Upon arriving, we provided the friendly security staff with the "secret" password for the evening. Entering the dimly lit bar, we were warmly greeted by a server and the vibrant sounds of laughter. After being seated, we began perusing the drink menus (they have an overwhelmingly amount of options) and I arrived on the "Smoke and a Smile" as my first drink. Taking in the environment as we awaited our drinks, I observed that this venue serves as an appropriate setting for either a date night or a night out with friends. Our drinks arrived shortly, in which we all expressed how delicious our selections were. So delicious that we all took turns passing our drinks around as if they were flight samplers. We ended up having three rounds of drinks before heading over to the dance floor portion of the venue, in which we had additional drinks while enjoying the nostalgic hits being played by the DJ. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The White Rabbit, I will definitely make a return visit whenever I'm in town!

I have been wanting to try the white rabbit for years and finally made it over! Expectations may…read morehave been a little bit high on my end at no fault of theirs. I did appreciate that the speakeasy was below ground and required a password. I do think it's odd that when making a reservation online, you are not prompted on how to retrieve the password. Thank goodness my friend receives the emails and let me know ahead of time what to say. You enter down a long hallway and wait at a bookcase that opens. It kind of feels like forever because there's nowhere to go and could create a little bit of potential claustrophobia/panic for people who may be sensitive to those types of environments. The drink menu was good but I really wasn't wowed. They did offer three mocktails which wasn't really impressive and the cocktails did include a variety of liquors and flavor profiles but again, wasn't as extensive or interesting as some other speakeasies around town. The food menu was very disappointing - a lot of dairy and bread - pretzels with cheese, flatbread, queso with chips, and "rabbit food" - hummus with bread and vegetables. We asked to have all vegetables instead of bread and they did accommodate with a generous helping of full-size rainbow carrots and cherry tomatoes. We actually ran out of hummus before we could finish the vegetables. I understand elevated pricing for the aesthetic/experience but I did think the pricing here was a little bit high for what was received.

We made a reservation through Open Table. There is no additional cost to reserve a table, which is great since most other similar spots either had a cover fee or you had to buy tickets for the live performance. Upon arrival, our table was ready right when we showed up. The service was excellent throughout the night considering how busy it was in there. Our waitress was so patient, especially considering how long we took to make a decision on what we were going to order. The lighting was very nice, the music was great. We spent about 3 hours here enjoying the atmosphere. The food was very good, and prices were low! The drinks (which we did not partake in) were pricey, but seemed to have a great selection. There was a full bar & a handful of "signature" drinks to choose from. We ended up keeping it simple & getting the Wagyu Burger & Fries. I upgraded to onion rings. It took a little while to get our food, but we were in no rush. The burgers were cooked exactly how we wanted them, and tasted fresh. The onion rings and fries were delicious. The lounge also has another restaurant called "Vybe" attached, with similar food offerings, and a DJ instead of a live band. It's a bit quieter in that area. They also have karaoke suites for rent, which is a really cool option for people who are having a party. A waitress was kind enough to give us a tour of all these areas within the restaurant, and give us all the details about what packages are offered. All in all, we had such a nice night out and will definitely be back in the future.

From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were hanging out with friends. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, with beer-themed decor lining the walls and a lively group of people enjoying the soccer game on TV. We grabbed a high-top near the beer fridge and were checking out the menu online when Saad, who was working behind the bar, came over to introduce himself and welcome us in. His energy was awesome - super friendly and easygoing - and he made us feel right at home. He checked in to see if we had any questions, which was a nice touch. We tried a bunch of different beers, both from the taps and the cooler, and honestly loved them all. You can tell they're really passionate about craft beer here. We'll definitely be back- this place is a gem!

Decided…read moreto pull out my phone. and instead of using Yelp, I actually just punched cheesesteak into Waze, and what do you know?! I ended up finding the cheesesteak joint. This is actually a food truck, which is parked on the side of the Tipsy Catcus, which is a really cool brewery I also checked out while I was waiting for my order. This is a really chill brewery, and not a huge spot. Maybe 8 to 10 high top tables with bar seating, and a mostly open floor plan. They have a small patio too, with what looks like about another tables but because I visited at night, nobody was outside. They also seem to be extremely dog friendly as they had one table with a really chill cocker spaniel completely laid out on his side in the middle of the floor. I'm not sure how many taps they had in total, but definitely more than 40 I would say. I'm not a big beer drinker, so I ordered a cider. The cider I was served was on tap and really tasty. And it definitely hit the spot of terms of price point. One thing to note, while I was talking to the owner/manager of the tipsy cactus (shout to him because he was really cool), he told me that Friday night and Saturday nights are usually popping so I wouldn't expect to be first in line on any of those nights. It also looks like they rotate food trucks on different nights, so don't assume that the cheesesteak truck is going to be here every night. I would check the tipsy cactus website, or Instagram page to be sure. I'll definitely be looking forward to checking this place out again in the future, especially if I'm hitting one of the food trucks parked outside.
