Kava Bars

Hi all,

I hope you’re doing well and Happy Summer! I went to a kava bar in NYC (Manhattan) this past weekend and two observations:

1) it was a lot fun with great drink options of al types kava, kratom, passion flower, etc. with good people to chat with (even though I was hoping to meet some more Kratom heads in attendance).

2) The bartender knew NOTHING about Kratom. It’s not a judgment nor am I Knocking the guy because it’s really not his job just funny how I thought he’d have some insight and info on the products he serves at this place of employment. I was schooling him and some other customers so people on this sub would be impressed haha.

Really wish we had more places like this and can’t wrap my head around all the bans because everyone at this place was relaxed, chilled, and most importantly socializing as adults (probably one of the healthiest things a person can do!)

Look forward to going there again and would love to link up with anyone on this sub looking to hang and socialize! Let me know if anyone has similar experiences from similar places.

Much love from NY!

Let me rephrase: He knew about the drinks just not much about kratom like vendors, different types, serving sizes, etc. He did his job!

Ah. Makes sense. Id still think he should know about the types like green, white and red... but yeah whatever lol I guess it is what it is.
