Pause Kava Bar | at 131 Swinton Ave. Delray Beach, FL

Love this true local community hangout spot , I've met so many people here , love the regulars, it's functions as an actual community hangout spot. Cozy house living room vibes , great psychedelic gothic interiors and the bonfire outside was amazing. one of the best places to chill in Delray. the kava is seriously lacking tho :/ it's very watered down , it doesn't numb my body , it's known as having some of the worst kava . The varieties of kava here are also not good . Other then that I love pause to death , the Monday jams , the concerts , the beach cleanups , the random dj on a Thursday night, everything about this place is amazing .

Had an amazing time attending the DJ night they host on Thursday night. The atmosphere was perfect for meeting new people!

Drink was good, food was terrible and odd vibe

Wow. I’m in shock right now. The employees left me on hold, unmuted, were gossiping about how “I may be that autistic girl” to justify refusing me customer service. I asked to speak to a manager after being rudely spoken to for a genuinely frustrating customer service. I never thought I’d be rating this place with one star but, here I am. Every single time I had ordered for my husband after work and he walked in, the drinks were beautiful. Yet, when I was frustrated with the service via Ubereats. My only order was 1 Damiana mango drink with 4-5 additional boosters…..which was completely spilled. It seems the restaurant was aware of this since, there was a tea included, which as I said, makes no sense since I only ordered 1 Damiana mango cold drink. I was not notified. I was gonna ask what that tea even is, why wasn’t I notified about this drink spilling. I wasn’t even given a chance to express & solve this situation with the employees defensive tone. Called the restaurant in hope we’d meet in the middle from how frustrating this was. This employee completely ignored everything I mentioned above; in a defensive tone he replied “Well, you said your boyfriend has come here before and there was no issue, so that’s not the restaurants fault”. He was so quick to judge and made so many personal assumptions. Was gossiping to another employee about how “I may be that autistic girl” that apparently gave them a hard time to justify refusing me service…This is the first time I’ve ever called this way, only my husband has walked in lol. Legit when I’m on the phone too, listening……..waiting to speak to a manager. It was truly eerie.

Just started the Kava experience 2 months ago.Been to 5 places.Pause by far has the best product and price within 40 miles.Great laid back private experience.Cool ppl and Electra's service n over:all vibe of the place while she works makes the kava experience happen ...ur missing out if ya don't go

This is the sickest lounge I’ve been to. The atmosphere is very inviting, especially with David aka Panda Land*** commanding the bar area with his great drink mixes, music vibes, and overall service.

I used to really enjoy this place and their kratom. Recently, the vibes have been suffering. Due to my most recent experience here, I will not be back. I watched the owner yell at and degrade an employee who always provided me with the best service!!! It was hard to watch. The owner needs to get it together and respect the people who serve their customers.
