They offer a small selection of snacks, but allow you to bring in outside food if you are looking to eat a more substantial meal. This is a small, lively place with a number of regular clientele. Bartenders are extremely friendly and personable, making an effort to remember your name and your order. They offer a loyalty punch card as well that makes finding new beers super fun. Once you drink from all 40 taps, you get a Willard's t-shirt. Can't decide what beer you want? Spin the massive wheel on the wall and it will decide for you! Such a fun/chill spot to enjoy beers with friends!

I asked the associate who booked my event if I could arrive a little early so I could decorate and set up food for the two hours we had booked. I arrived at 12:20 (booked for 1:00 start) and found the doors were locked. I waited until 12:30 to call, thinking the staff may not arrive until 30 minutes or so before a scheduled event. I called several times between 12:30 and 1:00 only to get a voicemail option each time. I left several messages. Needless to say, no one ever showed up and when my guest arrived for her surprise party, myself and our guests were all standing in the heat outside the building. I was so embarrassed and felt terrible for my friend. I eventually received a call back from a representative with the Par Pub apologizing for their scheduling error and offering a later time that day, but at that point we were half way through the party that we moved to the bowling up the street. In my opinion the offer was dismissive and rude, given the circumstances. I asked for a refund of the $171 I had paid upfront and I respectfully declined the offer for a later time. To say I am disappointed in this experience is an extreme understatement - Maybe they should call themselves the Sub-Par Pub - definitely a more fitting name given their lack of care.

Speakeasy is a wonderful place to be able to open up your mind to drink Kava and Kratom instead of drinking alcohol or smoking various items From somebody that has suffered with anxiety has found relief within this community of wonderful people when you take a step in there it's as though you are stepping into a second home, even if you're having a hard day everybody there will always try and make you feel a bit better this is the first time I've ever been to A Kava bar that I've actually found that I enjoyed their teas and their kratom and being able to find a new community of people that appreciate and welcome me with open arms is mind blowing Being able to see people come in for the first time not knowing anything about it and then absolutely falling in love with it I much rather come to Speakeasy to have a shell then wanting to go to any bar and make bad decisions read more

Speakeasy Kava is not the only kava bar in St. Petersburg, FL (or Largo for that matter), but it is the only kava bar I enjoy attending regularly. They've employed the friendliest and most educated staff, who are always providing information on their botanical products to their new customers. Alongside their staff, the product is top of the line when it comes down to Kava and the botanical teas that they offer. If you're not a fan of Kava or interesting teas, they also offer simpler choices such as soda, pour-over coffee, and energy blend beverages. Speakeasy Kava's atmosphere is unique to that of any other local kava bar I've visited or attended regularly, and with such a large and diverse crowd of 'regulars', you're bound to make some amazing friends. I'd highly recommend them for any 'newbie' or veteran who's in the Seminole or Largo area! read more

This place is a dump. They have people living in campers and vans in the parking lot. They have social gatherings that do not enforce social distancing. Sheriff has been there and warned them against what they are doing. Owner overcharges by withdrawing your tab from your bank. Has happened to more than one person. The landlord wants business owner to make some changes but doesn't call landlord back. Maybe they will get evicted. How can you be open 24 hours when there is a curfew from 11pm through 5 am? How can you have open mike night when you aren't even supposed to be doing anything but takeout? read more

I'm absolutely in love with this place. Once it came under new management it's grown so much. It's like a family now! My go-to drinks to get are a double green Kratom with Elderflower and blueberry, it helps with my scoliosis pain in my lower spine... or a double kava grasshopper with half-n-half. So good!! I wish more people knew the health benefits of this stuff... it helped me kick my dependency on alcohol to help me sleep or relax! They make the most amazing coffee too! Takes about 15 minutes to make, but it's well worth the wait! Move over starbucks and Dunken!! read more

Speakeasy is a great kava bar. They have perfectly crafted drinks for kava/kratom veterans, and for newcomers to the scene. Lots of great flavors to choose from for your kratom tea. They also have a great cup of pourover coffee and plenty of snacks and looseleaf tea. Live music, open mic nights, trivia night, lots of different events to keep things interesting. A must visit for kava/kratom/coffee drinkers or for anyone looking to meet a great group of people. Love this place. read more
