    Empty Kratom cocktail and kava shots
    Brooks W.

    Needless to say, when I visited here earlier this year, I was very impressed. The vibes of the place are really relaxing, and everyone there is really chill. The service was great as well, the employees know a lot about kava and Kratom and can definitely point you in the right direction on what to get, depending on how you want to feel. Next time I go to Orlando, I definitely want to hit this little spot again.

    Destiny is amazing. Like chef kiss. She's so knowledgeable of Kava. It was my first time trying it and she was so patient & I will definitely be back. The ambiance was great and

    We walked into the kava bar and were surprised to see an actual bar, pool table (billiards ) with plenty of wall art (all for sale by the way). We were explained the entire menu and made our decisions i chose the "Hades Hex" and he chose the "Humble Horchata." After a few short sips I realized I didn't like it. When the barista returned to ask how we liked it I humbly told her it was fine, just the flavor was not for me, without hesitation she asked if I wanted to try something new. I really enjoyed the excellent customer service and the cozy atmosphere. This won't be our last time visiting this place.

    Favorite Kava bar in Orlando, the feeling here is so welcoming. All the bartenders are girls and they are all super kind, you can tell they enjoy what they do. The art on the walls are super vibrant and add a huge part to the character of this place. All the art is sourced from local artists and are all up for sale. It's connected to Fast Eddie's Smoke shop so you can walk over through a little side door. They have a pool table and wide variety of board and card games. Their mocktails are super yummy and definitely help cover the earthy taste of a kava and Kratom, stay tuned to their Insta to see what seasonal shots they have. Right now they have Pumpkin spice Kava shots and Apple pie Kratom shots.... Yum! If you're looking for live music, they have a musician every other Thursday. Sodo also has Pool tournaments every Monday at 9pm (winner gets $25 tab), trivia every other Wednesday, Student & Teacher days every Sunday. Definitely swing by whether it's for a Coffee or a Mocktail, they'll take good care of you!

    Lounge area

    Sodo Kava is really nice and is perhaps my favorite Kratom\Kava lounge in the area. Read this review to the end though! They have a great aesthetic, the quality of their products are top notch, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. Their pool table is beautiful and well taken care of. They even have a pool tournament every Monday. There's plenty of seating and space. However, if you need to use a laptop or other device, just know that there's only 2 plug outlets accessible to you, if they're not already in use. In addition, the Wi-Fi is straight up unusable. Of course, you'll see guests using their laptops. They're either using a mobile hotspot of their own, or they're dealing with the Wi-Fi the lounge has to offer; which is actually the smoke shop's connection. Maybe you thought I was exaggerating when I said "unusable." The connection maxes out at 1mbps. Typically, it's 0.49mbps. I typed it right, and you read it right. Less than 1mbps. No, I did not mean to type 1gbps. They're usually busy, and if they're doing things correctly, the markup on the Kratom and kava allows for a pretty fair ROI. I think it's safe to say that the owner(s) don't see this as a priority. A few phone calls later, they could have a 1gbps connection set up for less than $300 with custom equipment. Using the ISP's equipment, they could be set up for less than $75 a month. I would be very upset if I were one of their bartenders, because they really are losing tip money from guests who would stay longer to get work done on their devices. If the owner responds to this review and explains that it's impossible for whatever reason to offer a better connection, I will modify the review of course. This shouldn't dissuade anyone from coming to Sodo Kava if they don't need to use a device with Wi-Fi. EVERYTHING ELSE is perfect at this lounge and I cannot stress enough that the staff is awesome and very friendly.

    I've been coming here for about 6 months now and I've never had even close to a bad experience! This is my go-to kava bar in the Orlando area. All of the staff are super helpful and friendly and are very knowledgeable about all of their products. They have a pool table which is a great place to meet new people and break the ice. Their drinks are also very reasonably priced and taste amazing! Overall, great place to hang out with friends, do work, or just vibe.

    The vibe here is wonderful. The community of people that come in are all very open and friendly. I've made many friends here and have had wonderful conversations. The drink variety is excellent as well. All of the employees are incredible and friendly. Destiny always makes me feel like family here! It's never a dull night! The pool table is bailable for anyone who wants to play as they also do pool tournaments. They have great games to grab and play as well!

    FIRST OFF. HUNTER. Second, HUNTER. And last, HUNTER DAMN IT…read more If you are looking for a new BEST hookah spot, you need to tap into One Lounge. It is such a relaxing environment, think of this like a high end cocktail bar but for hookahs. Almost any flavor you could imagine, they have. I thought I understood the world of hookah until I came here. I left with a Masters in Hookology and I am hooked - no pun intended. The experience and service you receive here is second to none; have you ever been to a really nice restaurant where they know how to pair a nice wine to your dinner? Well they know how to pair a nice hookah with your hookah. Have you ever done hookah on hookah? I have, and it is an enlightening experience. I have found a new home to experiment with all the different flavors. Also, moving on to the food, the Plov, the napoleon cake, the Pepperoni Pizza, and the Khachipouri are things I have tried and have been blown away by. It's almost like the first time you use a bidet, mind blowing. And again, I'll bring up Hunter again, he makes you really love enjoying a hookah. Come with an open mind if you don't know what to get and trust in Hunter.

    Such a cute little hookah bar with a kosher menu! Unfortunately we arrived close to closing hours…read moreso I wasn't able to experience the lounge in its prime. From what I did see and experience, the lounge was cozy, well decorated for Christmas and very clean! There is indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed a latte on my visit but it was a short visit as they were closing. My friend did order a hot appetizer with chargrilled Spanish octopus which he enjoyed.

    After months of anticipation... I finally made it to Alfie's…read more It was exactly what I was hoping it would be: a slice of culture. Real people. Real life. Real youth. Real energy. Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded. No complaining about that ! lol

This was a good date night out doing something's we both enjoy,food and live music. The food was mid. The wings weren't flavorful but the presentation was nice. Hard to be disappointed with a dipping sauce. I enjoyed the caramelized onion flatbread and the Avocado & Feta salad. I used ranch instead of the sauce that it came with and it was good. I had a rum punch type drink and it was $28 with nothing to offer..that was disappointing. Rick Melvern was the voice. The show was good. I enjoyed the voice of but he was very rude to my husband and I. He ignored us but interacted with ALL the other patrons. We sang.. he ignored, we danced he ignored.. I purposefully didn't say anything,until my husband asked me if it seemed he had a problem with us.

    After my first visit over a year ago, I held back in writing a review initially. Now having come…read moreback at a different time of day and having a totally different experience altogether, I feel ready to share - but, why did I wait? Well, quite simply - depending on when you visit, the experience varies drastically. First: Location Its in MCO's Terminal C, the new-ish terminal housing mostly international-based airlines, ...and JetBlue. JetBlue is the only domestic airline in the terminal. You can find the lounge just past the main Palm Court on the left side of the concourse. Second: Access Plaza Premium Lounge MCO Terminal C has a "priority line" for American Express Platinum and Centurion cardholders, in addition to accepting Priority Pass, DragonPass, and some others. At times, there may be lengthy lines for entry. Third: the Space Once in the lounge, the entry elevator and stairs are at the opposite end of the space from the bar and main food area. There's lots of seating that overlook both the central Palm Court concourse below, and on the other side, the airfield. It's long and narrow, with 5 single unisex restrooms in the middle of the space - a juice and cereal bar in the first room, and the main hot food area and bar in the second. There's also showers available. Fourth: the Food Breakfast is decent - on my visit there was both cheesy eggs and non-cheesy eggs, diced potato home fries, and sausage patties, with some pastries too. In the refrigerated case next to the hot food bar, some lunch-style salads that I didn't try - but notably I didn't see any yogurt. Lunch - well, all I can recall is that it was just okay....(this was on my prior visit). and now, finally, Fifth: the differential... Visiting before a morning flight ? Super relaxing, easy to find a place to sit and enjoy some food, wifi, etc away from the noisy concourse - felt like a solid lounge overall. Visiting later in the day? I was lucky to find an open seat, had to basically hover to wait for others to leave before finding a seat, including bar seats. Food was, just okay. And the layout of the food became confusing , and of course, more crowded, too. Those five unisex single bathrooms? Easily a 10-15 min wait with several people also waiting in line. Just simply not very relaxing at all. I imagine with peak international departures and - the ONLY - lounge in terminal C, that's just how it is. There are no other airline lounges nor other non-airline lounges in MCO terminal C.

    Not really worth trying. They let pretty much everyone in so, at least while we were there, the…read moremain concourse was much quieter. No seats in the lounge and a big queue for the toilets - not a problem on the main concourse. Worth a quick look if you get access with your ticket but don't pay for access!!
