Island Root Kava Bar Royal Palm

Don't bother! This spot used to be so rad, awesome Kavatenders and drinks that really hit. I just ordered a shell and had it slammed down on the bar and some of the kava even spilt out. I feel uncomfortable and not welcomed here. He made me feel like I'm bothering him when ordering a drink. Plenty of better kava bars elsewhere like The Chill Room! My comment about the Chill Room was to offer other options. My post is in reference to my personal experience tonight. The guy with a ponytail made not only me but the people I was with feel unwelcome and bothered when ordering a drink. He also did set down my shell so aggressive kava spilled out. I love supporting the kava community as a whole which is why I am making this review. I don't want others to have the same experience I did and decided to share what other places I have never received this kind of service. Other Kavatenders here have been great including the one who wears bucket hats. This is why tonight's experience was so off-putting. Please choose to hear about my experience not the reference to other options.

A safe space for those that need one any time of the day. They primarily sell Kava drinks which aren't for everybody but you don't need to buy it to stay. They sell regular drinks like soda and juices. I always get chocolate milk while my bf gets kava. They have food too that you would normally see at most bars. The employees work really hard, so tip well! The establishment is clean and cozy, I love it. There's only 1 requirement, you have to be at least 18 years old, that's it!

Love seeing Maynor when i come in HE IS SO nice and sweet to me.He knows my name and welcoming in rigjt away.Love it when i come in and he is Working. GREAT PERSON TO have for your Bussiness He has my order memorized .

I have been going to kava bars for about 10 years now. This place is one of my top favorites. The entire staff is amazing from jasmine (bar back) to Maddie ( manager). Some of the kavatenders here anyone one should meet are Maynor, Rob, Cody, Haylee, Alexis and Narin. There is other people that I haven’t gotten to know but I am sure you will NOT be disappointed. This is a great establishment with great people to boot.
