What a fantastic establishment! I dropped in for their salsa night, and the energy and dancing were absolutely incredible. The vibe is exceptionally warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. I was also highly impressed by their non-alcoholic selection with the NA drinks were excellent, full of flavor, and crafted with care. While I haven't experienced a regular, non-event night here yet, the stellar hospitality and great atmosphere ensure I will definitely be back anytime! read more

LOCAL REVIEW: I tried my first kombucha ever at this location! My siblings and I were craving mocktails to enjoy on a Saturday afternoon. My sibling that lives in Jacksonville was also trying to explore more of the Riverside area. Wildcrafters was easy to find. Be prepared to look for nearby street parking though. The atmosphere was relaxing and bright. The bartender was so excited to teach us about kombucha and she also taught us how to cheers and the meaning of "bula." She told us that her first intro to kombucha was done with care, and she wanted to make sure any new customers also felt that way. We each tried different drinks and all of them were delicious! To be honest, I didn't love the numbing effect that kombucha had on my throat, so I won't be having it again, but the experience was chill and a great way to reconnect with my siblings. read more

What an incredible way to end the month--a truly Vibe Awakening experience at WildCrafters Booze-Free & Kava Bar, featuring CyrusGQ and a delicious vegan brunch from MY V SPOT. It was a day of firsts for me--my first sound bath (pure bliss!), first kava cocktail (Dirty Diana was a revelation), and first vegan meal (the spicy broccoli & mushroom rice bowl was amazing!). WildCrafters' cozy, plant-filled atmosphere made it all the more special, with plenty of parking and a chill patio to relax on. CyrusGQ set the perfect mood with his sound bowls, creating deep relaxation that helped me reset for Fall. And the kava? A game-changer! Final verdict? A solid 5/5 across the board. If you haven't been, you're missing out! read more

Wildcrafters is lit for a Monday evening o on Park st, Jacksonville. Who would have thought mock tails could be edgy and and fun. Decor and empanadas from the Empanada lady were awesome. Indoor and out door seating and bring some smoke if you have your card. Most of the mocktqils have ingredients to make you come, cool and collecting. All natural. 10 out of 10 for food, mocktails, seating and of course, the DJ for the event Yelp has did it again and fun filled evening without the booze! read more

Never been to a booze-free bar, and I liked it! Wildcrafters has a super chill aesthetic, and it's full of plant life. The shelves are stocked with zero-proof bottles and alternatives of various spirits. I enjoyed the Witchy Woman & Strawberry Moon on the menu. The $4 vegan ice cream taste is great also. My first visit was for the Sunday jazz jam sesh, and it was a whole vibe! I loved it, and I'll be back for more! read more

Wildcrafters - Street Spirit - The drink was as tasty as it was pretty. - Tea Rooms Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This is my spot! I love the chill vibes and trying all the drink creations. It is fantastic to have a bar for people to relax not centered around booze. But for all those who need a little extra mellow the kava is where its at. I personally love the cinnamon toast crunch and chai kava drinks. The flavors are perfectly balanced and a great way to unwind from a long day. With all the new na spirits and beer options coming out Im so excited to see all the drink creations Wildcrafters comes up with so far I love so many on the menu. And if you are feeling unsure try the bartenders choice and they whip up a custom drink that fits your taste. I love having this amazing na/ tea lounge in our city. read more

Wildcrafters was a nice oasis on a chilly afternoon. Forever Young was my favorite--not too sweet, with nice texture, and lovely presentation. I have some of the booze-free spirits at home, so I appreciated the inspirations from their menu. Service is friendly, but don't be in a rush. I like that you can have a couple of drinks and still move on to other places without overdoing it! read more

Wow, what a fantastic find! The mocktails were beautiful, creative, and delicious. You can also opt for their kava drinks which are supposed to have a calming effect. Our bartender was so engaging and was a blast! We really enjoyed chatting with him at the bar while he whipped up our drinks. His ability to multitask while still paying attention to detail really impressed us. Wildcrafters is such a unique concept and I am grateful that they are pushing the envelope when it comes to what a bar experience should be. We certainly didn't miss the alcohol and I can't wait to come back to try their other creations! read more

Great kava and non-alcoholic bar. Friendly staff, delicious drinks, great environment.

We enjoyed our experience at this "booze-free bar. It was date night and we wanted to try something different after dinner. We heard of reviews of this spot so we checked it out and we surprised. The vibe and ambience was cool. It had an eclectic vibe and they had a variety of drink offerings which were alcohol free. Their staple are "kava" drinks which are a root from the South Pacific that helps boost moods and provides a natural remedy to relax. We definitely felt relaxed after this drinks and it was a fun and unique way to end the work week. We ordered two specials that the bartender recommended...Strawberry Moon and Next Level. Both were delicious! Definitely recommend a visit! read more

Holy crap these drinks are good! I've been dying to go to this place for the longest. I even tried to go the weekend they opened but by the time I put my car in park and looked up, the owner Yhang was putting a sign on the door saying that they were closed for the day because they ran out of everything. I was super bummed but I figured that I'd just be patient and wait for the initial newness to die down some. That opportunity came around about 3 weeks later one afternoon. I grabbed my boyfriend and headed over to Wildcrafters. I was able to park right in front, no problem. We walked in and were greeted by Yhang immediately. He pointed us to all the open seating and to the menus. Honestly, it took us awhile to decide what we wanted to get because everything sounded so good. We decided to sit in front of the bar to really check everything out, the hanging plants, the open window behind the bar area, the edible plants growing on the bar (which were so pretty and dainty). He told us they get their ingredients from Berry Good Farms, which I think is excellent since that supports Special Education. I've loved anything that was grown there. He explained to us what Kava was and it's health benefits and my boyfriend immediately wanted to get it as a cocktail at first. He got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Kava (kava, cinnamon, vanilla syrup, oat milk, cereal float) and warned him it may be a bit bitter. He tasted it and was blown away. I tasted it and I could see why it's a very popular sub for alcohol. Yhang said that after 3 drinks you'll start to feel really good so my man was ready for it. I got the Stella Was a Diver tea drink, mostly because it was blue and that's my favorite color (Monday zero alcohol gin, rosemary, lavender, basil, spirulina, lemon, egg white).It's pretty foamy but it tasted amazing. I guess I wasn't expecting more of a tea taste, but the tea was just like a base liquid while all these herbs and flavors stood up loud and proud. We tried other drinks as well: - Feel Good Lost (green tea, bell pepper, roasted sesame, lemongrass, lemon, chili oil), really good. You wouldn't think that all these items would go in a drink together but hoo-dang. - Already Home (falernum, lime, dragonfruit, nasturtium, Topo Chico), my personal favorite. Not only was it pretty it was sweet, tart, tangy, crisp, and refreshing - Talk To Me (bartender makes you a custom drink based on your likes/dislikes), really interesting as I watched my boyfriend described what he liked and Yhang took it all in and came up with a non-alcoholic beer cocktail. That was pretty cool and pretty tasty for a non-beer drinker. - Traditional Double Kava - my boyfriend got another kava drink in a coconut-like cup with a pineapple on the side. By now he was feeling pretty loosey-goosey and mellow. Thank goodness. We thanked him for the great conversation, drinks, and even for opening a place like this. I'm definitely hooked. Who cares if they don't serve alcohol? You won't miss it! Get yo self there and drink some kava! read more

A booze-free bar??? #WhoWuddaThunkIt Well Yhang did, owner of Wildcrafters. It is Jacksonville's first non-alcoholic bar located in the Five Points area in Riverside. Their official grand opening was Wednesday (1/8/2020). It's a cool, hip looking bar inside. Per eyeball, sits about 20-25 people. Nothing but positive vibes here, a great place to hang out. I decided to swing by this place with my Dad, after finishing up a birthday luncheon with him nearby. The premise of the visit is to check out this shop as well as checkout the drinks that they have to offer. Being a booze-free bar, I was confident my Dad and I would not escalate into any bar fights. Also, it was an assurance I wasn't going to lose my top during the visit. I know, TMI. We really wanted to try one of their Kava drinks... BUT... they were fresh out of Kava (bummer). Option B, we opted for the next best thing, ordering the Backseat Freestyle and Almost Home, both cocktails. Very good drinks, well crafted. We loved it. Will definitely come back. Hopefully they will have Kava available. Come by and check them out. #SupportLocal read more

When one of your besties wants to go to the non alcoholic bar, you go to the non alcoholic bar. Maya had been, and wanted to head here again after a group meetup for dinner nearby, so away we went. The location is super close to the action and buzzing streets of 5 Points but tucked away enough that you don't feel..pressured..to drink. I think that's the term I'm looking for. Most of the people I have talked to said that this is a place where people can still socialize but not drink at all. So..what are the drinks exactly? I had to do some research after the fact when my tounge was numb and I was sleepy. There is something called Kava in some of the drinks(There is a little paragraph with facts about it on the menu). It can make you feel relaxed and possibly tired, as most of us in the group did. If you drink enough of it, you will possibly get a feeling similar to being drunk. This does beg the question...if you are still looking for some sort of alteration to how you feel, why go to the dry bar? I digress.. The drinks are really pretty, mine was ok tasting. I know that there are lots of other options to chose from and also teas, if I were to find myself here again. The vibe is super hipster and millennial and there are plants hanging all over the place as the only real decor. Cute concept for a new experience. read more

From the moment you walk into Wildcrafters you're flooded with sunshine and good vibes. This booze free bar features tea, kava, and crafted cocktails, and y'all... they're all beautiful & boujee. I loved the 'Surfing on a Rocket' with @seedlip_na , lavender, thyme, honey, lime coconut, ginger and @TopoChico. My friend loved the 'Island Boy' with kava, mango, lime, Topo Chico and blue curaçao. And I could leave without trying the 'Dirty Diana' with kava, peanut butter, coffee, oat milk, cacao, coconut, and it's garnished with a Reece cup. Heaven! The warm sweet soul behind the bar also served us some kava shots and taught us the traditional way of drinking it. What a fun experience! Wildcrafters is now one of my favorite places. Not just for the amazing drinks, but for the incredible energy swirling in every nook and cranny of the room. read more

One of the cutest booze free bars which I think is an amazing concept! 18+ to drink Kava & 21+ for "the party stuff." The bartender was super nice and funny. The place itself is pretty small but such a great place to hang out in! They have a projector, music playing and lights on. They also have a patio so if the weather is permitting I would recommend enjoying your cocktail outside read more

The owner was the bartender both times I was there. His business is not a place to rush. It was super calming with all the plants that's hanging and good news, they are for sale. My group got tea and mocktails and we were happy with our drink. Kava is a trip. It's tastes terrible but the buzzing of your lips is a weird sensation. On the weekends, they play loud music and it's a party. Not my scene. I would recommend this place during the weeknights to work from or have meetings or first dates. read more

The room has plants hanging all over (creating a smell of basil in the air) and is laid out with lots of hardwood and black stone bar tops. It has interesting booze-free cocktails, teas, and kava drinks, using lots of tasty ingredients. There is an option to have then create a cocktail tailored specifically to your personal taste, which is a nice touch. Didn't get to try the kava since they ran out during their grand opening the night before. I ordered the Feel Food Lost, a cocktail containing green tea, bell pepper, lemon, lemongrass, and chile oil. It was sour and spicy - I didn't get much green tea flavor due to the other strong elements. A little small for $7 without booze, but well crafted and good depth of flavor. They do not serve food, but I hear they are trying to make some relationships with local food trucks. read more

Yes! A kava/dry bar in Jax! Let me preface with this because I see a few people confused as to how a dry bar can have a drink that "alters" how you feel. Just because someone doesn't want to drink alcohol specifically doesnt mean they don't want to relax/imbibe something to chill out. There's a difference between the effects of alcohol (not so good) and having a few shells of kava. Just like there are plenty of people who don't drink alcohol but smoke CBD or THC etc. they're still seeking to relax just not but poisoning their livers and throwing up all day the next day. While kava can cause a bit of a "hangover" (I'd describe it as feeling a slight fog maybe when I first wake up??) it's not nearly as bad what I've seen people experience drinking and what I used to experience. The thing that I, and others I've asked, enjoy about the concept of a dry bar is the absence of riff raff at regular bars. It's the chill vibe without drink people stumbling around, bumping into you, hitting on you, getting in fights, pressuring you to drink. So yes it's a dry bar and there's no alcohol. Does that mean i can't have a little sip of something to chill out? No. That being said -- I love this place! I love the vibe so much, I love the plants, I love the welcoming atmosphere. The drinks AMAZING. they're so delicious and mask the earthy taste of kava well. They have options to match your outfit or mix up whatever they feel like and I highly recommend it it's fun! I like to come here to do admin work for my business and vibe out. Only complaint I'd have is the music. The first time I went it was nice vibe music sounded like Hawaiian but in Spanish, the next time I went it was all over the place with some weird jazz stuff where every instrument played a different song lol and then a song I lowkey liked but it was a little much for the vibe with the n word being said every two seconds. So awkward! But I'm definitely a loyal patron now! read more
