    My first visit to a Kava bar and did not know what to expect. Parked in the pay lot across the street and dealt with a vagrant yelling at me. The inside was dark nautical vibe and was very very quiet, which I think was intended. The kava was clear liquid similar to tea but the taste was difficult to explain and the closest to mind would be boiled tree bark. It does appear to be the upcoming fad, with a brief tongue numbing effect.

    I have been to several kava bars in SoFlo and I like Karma the best. We went pretty late in the evening so they didn't have any food options but I tried their strawberry banana kava and my friend tried Loloma kava. The regular Kava is a bitter but if you want to mask the taste, go for fruity options. The music here is louder than the other kava bars I have been to but it was a saturday night and I didn't mind. They have several board games including pool table and several comfortable seating areas to provide a very loungey atmosphere to relax. Kava bars are a great alternative to traditional bars and I am glad we have Karma in Flagler Village. The staff was nice and service was prompt.

    It was my second time experiencing kava so I wasn't quite sure what to order. My friend mentioned shells and kratom so we indulged in both and had the best experience! Thank you to the gentleman behind the bar I didn't get his name but he was super helpful. We will definitely be back!

    cool vibe... newer edition to the MAS district.. dropped in with a friend (to introduce her to Kava) after I saw my usual Kava spot in the area moved. we ended up getting 2 shells. Kava tasted good (by kava standards lol) and also had a good amount of strength to it. I really liked the vibe there too. Plenty of seats, couches, and tables. def would come back.

    Stopped by after doing the artisan market. Tried a kava tea. Loved the vibe here. Its dark, chill and the staff is very helpful. They guide you through making your choice and the atmosphere screams relax. There is a couple of games and lots of cozy seating. Head here with a couple of good friends so you can chill, have a few good laugh and a stress free time. The tea is amazing too. The body relaxes and it give you such an amazing calm. Do not miss out.

    Updating my review here. Karma Kava is a 5/5. By far my favorite kava bar in Fort Lauderdale. It's become my go to place to hang out for a low key afternoon or even late night activity. I always bring a board game to play with friends and recommend the Kratum with Agave and Lemon. The service is always great too. My only complaint is that sometimes it gets a bit loud, but that's on the other customers for yelling not the business.

    Good Vibes and Good Drinks! I was recently introduced to Karma Kava by my brother as a place to unwind and decompress and it definitely delivers on that. They offer different varieties of beverages but each one comes with its own flavors and it's own vibes. Whether it be strawberry, peach, mango or any other flavor they offer you won't be disappointed. They have a couple different French fry options if you're feeling a little peckish and they cook them in an air fryer to keep them on the healthy side. Seating is spread out so whether you sit at the bar, at the high top or on the couches, you can sit back and relax with your own thoughts. I've been a few times now and i can see myself going back again and again.

    Lavender kava special for happy hour. No added sugars or calories. Yum.

    This place has such a feel good vibe. Very small and homey with a little office space. The inside is very relaxed and the staff are welcoming. HOWEVER, It is very much a regulars place and slightly awkward for first timers. But it is easy to fit in. I didn't get a chance to try the snacks but there are some on the menu like truffle fries and some sweets. The kava is good quality. The only negative things or things to improve: the seating is lacking bc people will come and put their things on the bar stools to "save" them for hours while they leave the establishment for a bit. Also, the menu is REALLY confusing without much information on how to order your cocktails. I do like that they have daily specials, happy hours, and small events there. I'll definitely go back and make new friends :)

    Great kava spot in Fort Lauderdale! The place is larger than other kava spots that I've been to in the area which is great. My friend and I sat at the bar and as the night when on it got busier and I didn't even notice due to the amount of space. The employee behind the bar was helpful with giving us guidance on what we should order. The place all around has a very chill vibe and it's easy to sit there for hours and chat. They have bar seating, high top tables and couches. The location is great too but parking in that area isn't always the best. Overall just really enjoyed this place!

    What can I say this place was a whole vibe. Loved being able to sit and chill on a hot Miami day. The playlist was a whole mood. Loved semi private room. This was my first time trying Kava but I could get into it.

    Very chill and nice relaxing spot, if you want a less hectic night out, come to Karma Kava house, the atmosphere is calming and very chillaxing, lol the staff are wonderful and helpful in suggesting different Kava flavors, they also have non-alcoholic choices for the DD. Relax and have your mind blown at this spot.

The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable about cigars and always willing to guide you toward the perfect selection, whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just getting started. I'm seriously considering becoming a full-time member. The only detail I'm still looking into is whether they offer discounted membership rates for retired military veterans. If they do, it would make an already excellent experience even more appealing. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale and looking for a premium cigar lounge experience. This is definitely the place to be for a great cigar, a quality drink, and a relaxing environment.

It's just a short drive from the airport, and there are several parking garages nearby. I reserved parking ahead of time through ParkWhiz, which saved me a little money and made everything hassle-free. I had a 4:00 p.m. reservation but arrived a little early, which worked out perfectly because happy hour was still going on. Instead of waiting for my table, I grabbed a seat at the bar--and as an espresso martini girl, I was pleasantly surprised to find they were only $5 during happy hour instead of the regular $16. That alone made it worth arriving early. The happy hour food special was also a great value: pick any three items from the menu for $23. We ordered the coconut shrimp, which came with three large, flavorful shrimp; the spicy salmon cannolis, which were like crispy fried sushi cannolis topped with a creamy avocado spread (two per order); and the Szechuan calamari. The calamari was a generous portion with great flavor, although it came with quite a bit of sauce. If you eat it right away while it's still crispy, it's excellent, but it can get a little soggy if it sits too long. The atmosphere was trendy and comfortable. It was nice and cool inside initially, although once they opened the bar windows it warmed up enough to become a little uncomfortable. Still, the service was good, the food was flavorful, and the happy hour pricing was one of the best values I've found in the area. The only thing I'd love to see is a military discount, as they don't currently offer one. Overall, I'd definitely come back--especially if I'm looking for a great happy hour or need a convenient place to eat before picking someone up from the Fort Lauderdale airport.
