We had been to this location a month ago at night with our cat & were never told she wasn't allowed to be in this kava bar. Today, we returned with our cat & had been hanging out in there for about 20 minutes. She was sitting nicely in a corner while I was getting my SMALL kratom tea, when the manager said that the cat was not allowed to be in there, saying that she was not clean and would spread disease. I asked if dogs were allowed to be in here and he responded saying yes dogs are allowed in here but he just took a class on cats & stated that they spread disease and they're not allowed to be in here. We paid $12 for a SMALL drink, which was extremely overpriced and felt horrible by how this man talked to us. We left nicely and other guests looked at us and apologized saying they have never heard of someone saying that before. We will never be coming back to support this location as well as any of the other locations due to this horrible experience.

Bayside Lounge is a relaxed local bar I recently visited for karaoke. For a Thursday night, the…read morecrowd was light, which made it easy to get drinks and enjoy the music. The cocktails were excellent. I ordered two Long Islands and two Sex on the Beach with sugar on the rim, and each drink was strong, well balanced, and not watered down. One important note for late-night visitors: the kitchen closes early. I arrived around 9:30 p.m. and was disappointed to learn that food service had already stopped at 9 p.m., especially because the menu looked perfect for after-hours bites. Karaoke drives the music selection, so you hear whatever songs people choose to sing, and the crowd is a good mix of different ages and tastes. Overall, Bayside Lounge is a great spot for strong drinks and karaoke, as long as you plan to eat before the kitchen closes.

I've been attending this bar for years and frankly have a lot of opinions. I first started coming…read moreto Kavasutra in the spring of 2022. I started drinking Kava and Kratom products in the fall of 2021 when I moved to Melbourne. I first started coming after car meets that were held close by in the LA Fitness parking lot since it was Kava (something I had been enjoying for 6 months prior) that was close to where I was and they were open late. At the time, the cleanliness of the bar was very good and staff were very nice. So, my car friends and I would pop in and enjoy. The bar has always had a "standoffish" clientele, since a lot of them are not super welcoming, but the staff more than made up for it with engaging conversation and trying to get you to break the ice and you into the new environment. We started to create relationships, and then staff started to invite us to have car meets in their side parking lot. Over 2022-2023, I had been many times for car meets, to watch local bands, attend their events, go on dates, and for personal enjoyment. In the summer of 2023, I noticed things started to go downhill. Cleanliness of the bar was poor, They started making the bar a lot darker, started limiting events that they had, and I noticed a lot of disrespect from male staff--especially toward some of my friends, who they claimed "were ugly." On a separate occasion, my friend, who happens to be a model, was told that if she flashed them, her tab would be free! The female staff were very unfriendly and gave me and my friends eye rolls and no attention since they assumed women-to-women wouldn't tip as much as the male patrons. I ultimately stopped going to the Palm Bay location and started going to other alternative Kava and Kratom spots nearby. I was very excited, though, when they opened up the Eau Gallie (close to my home) and Viera (close to where I worked at the time) locations and had tried both of them. Eau Gallie is very small, and all the staff except one were very unwelcoming. I've never had issues with Viera, and it's the BEST Kavasutra location I've been to--but I've only ever gone when there was a male kavatender. Unfortunately, Kavasutra has always had a reputation for being "crass." During COVID, they told people they would not be allowed to attend the bar if they were wearing a mask! I feel as though if you want to wear a mask, you can, and if you don't want to wear a mask, you shouldn't have to. Recently, though, they have come at other bars (specifically Nocturne) that have opened up in close proximity to Kavasutra and dragged the businesses openly on social media! Kavasutra was even running an event to trade another bar's tea for their tea to show people it was superior. HOWEVER, every single time they have opened a location, it has always been near another existing bar! They opened the Eau Gallie location 2.5 miles away from Island Root EGAD and opened up the Viera location 1.7 miles away from Island Root Suntree--which is just hypocritical! I feel as though what they were doing was super unprofessional, very immature, and it's just not the vibe that the Kava community should have I really hope this bar can turn around, but as it stands right now, I will never be attending again. I hope they have a change in staff and actually start hiring people with better customer service experience .

**UPDATED REVIEW**…read more When it comes to Kavasutra, almost all of them across the board are a-okay. This includes the ones I come across that I have yet to review including locations in Palm Bay, Historic Downtown Melbourne (formerly), Viera, Port St. Lucie, and Stuart. However, there is one Kavasutra that stands out simply because one of their workers there makes it a location I say goes above and beyond the typical Kavasutra experience: Kavasutra Melby (Melbourne, FL). And that one worker, the "Kava Queen" (maybe I should remove the quotations because she really pushes her moniker), Shannon. First and foremost, everything from my initial review is still in effect in general, but let me talk to you about Shannon. She's the kavatender with the most tenure at this kava joint, and she holds it down. Very friendly and approachable and as mentioned earlier, able to hold a good conversation and be civil. Shannon is also a fantastic kavatender. Unlike some who just sling shells, she actually did a great job with the mocktails, which seems as if not many of the patrons order them by how it seems. The first one she got me was by accident called the "Elder Drop" which consists of pineapple, elderflower, lemon juice, ginger ale, and Shane's Addiction, their kratom blend. Though it was a screwup, it was fantastic. So delicious. Now the one I wanted, the Key Lime Pie Drop, consisted of French vanilla, peppermint, lime juice, ginger ale, and Shane's Addiction. It as so good! Overall, well for me, Shannon is the main reason I am giving this location not just its fourth star, but a rarity fifth star for a chain business. If you ever stop in, enjoy the tropical vibes, the EDM playing in the background, and make sure to order a delicious mocktail from Shannon, but take note that the other kavatenders, Paige and Marty, are great too. I just happens that when I am in, the Kava Queen is ruling the bar.

This time we got in half an hour earlier and decided to have a drink at the bar and Alexander or Alejandro was very attentive and took the time to explain some of the signature drinks on the menu. Then our party showed up and we all moved to the table and had the pleasure of being served by Mary. Same as the bar tender she was friendly, gracious, attentive and professional. Checked on us many times and refilled our water glasses and checked to make sure we were satisfied and happy with everything. The food was excellent, tasty and fresh. The short rib which comes with garlic mashed potatoes we switched it to have with the saffron risotto was a great pairing. All I have to say is that all 4 of us were very appreciative of the delicious food and very important the great service and we all come from the service industry. Thanks ! Very relaxed ambiance.

There is so much seasoning and salt that I can't even taste the actual dish or the natural flavors of the ingredients. Everything is completely overpowered by the seasoning. I gave the restaurant a second chance thinking maybe my first experience was a one-time issue, but the food was just as overly seasoned and salty the second time. Good seasoning should enhance the food, not completely take over the dish. When all you can taste is salt and seasoning, it makes the food very unpleasant to eat. Unfortunately, after two visits with the same experience, I would not return.
