    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.

    My friend has been wanting to try this place for awhile since its down the street from his house, so he finally said ok lets go. As soon as wr walked in Mario was extremely nice and informative. Can definitely say his customer service is amazing. We started off with pain killet shot which was something very different and strong our tongues immediately got numb which mario did make us aware of this we followed it with kratom tea which was also really good.we started feelig pretty relaxed. We finished it with a kava shell. And the owner also gave us a free refill of the shell. Id definitely come back here and recommend this place. What a great non alcoholic experience

Between the city and ocean views, the sexy atmosphere, the DJ playing all the best hits, and the indoor/outdoor seating, it instantly gave upscale date night and girls' night energy. Definitely a 21+ crowd and reservation-worthy. We sat outside overlooking the views, and from the moment we arrived, Barbie (I think her name was Barbara/Barbie) was such a sweet and welcoming hostess. Our server was also amazing she was a redhead (forgot her name but shoutout to the "redhead sisters" lol). We started with the short rib empanadas, which were DELICIOUS and came with onions and peppers that added so much flavor. We also had the shrimp two ways coconut fried shrimp and ceviche style. The coconut flavor wasn't super noticeable, but overall still really good. Black Angus Filet medium. WOW. Easily the best thing we ordered. It came with asparagus, mashed potatoes, and this incredible black mushroom sauce that tied everything together perfectly. Cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. Honestly, I'm still thinking about it. My mom ordered the spice crusted salmon salad and absolutely loved it. We also tried the Alla vodka... it was okay for us personally. My cousin and I are huge Italian food lovers, so we've definitely had better, but my moms enjoyed it. Drinks were also on point, we had two dirty martinis, aunt had a margarita, and mom had a white wine. While enjoying the music and rooftop atmosphere. They even have indoor and outdoor bar seating plus bathroom attendants, which added to the upscale experience.

They have nicely decorated interior and covered patios, as well as outdoor seating. We had a reservation for seven people at 11:30am. The hostess informed us that we can't be seated until at least 6 of the 7 people arrive. Even though the restaurant was very empty, we waited out of respect to the company's policy. After half an hour wait time, the shift manager(?) came out and said she can seat our party but this would be a one time accommodation. After being led out onto the patio, our server came to take our drink orders, appetizers, and entrees. He was professional and efficient, just didn't seem too friendly. (He did bring out a birthday dessert for us so maybe he was just shy to smile and seem happy). The food was better than what I have imagined. For starters we ordered Margherita flat bread and Szechuan calamari, and I highly recommend both to everyone to try at least once. For entrees everyone got different ones, but for me, I ordered the YOLO Churrasco with two sides. My friend ordered the truffle mac and cheese and let me tell you, the flavor is strong on the truffle side but it's one of the better truffle mac and cheese I have tasted in a long time. Props to the YOLO chefs. If this is what girls do when they go out for girls date for brunch, us men have been missing out on life. Lol bottomless mimosas, decent food, great company, and juicy gossip, invite me to the next one! The parking situation is kinda crazy so you can just valet park or park in one of the many parking garages nearby. Yes I would definitely recommend this place to others and will be back again myself.

It's also a good place to meet a sugar daddy, if that's what you're into. They have valet parking. Otherwise you're relegated to street parking or parking at one of the parking lots nearby.
