Not called 9th island. It's called "wlvs den kava" Girl who was working today 5/25 @ 3:58pm didn't seem like she wanted to help me at all. I was ready to pay but because I had to confirm with my husband to make sure the price was right for him, the machine timed out. I apologized and notified her and no problem but she gave the vibe like it was. The kava is okay but the service could be better. read more

Love this place you must come check it out. There's an ambience in here. That's just incredible in the kava is excellent. The way the place is decorated and all the different seating arrangements all that unique artifacts and music everything it's just something you must see. The owner is awesome and the manager is just a beautiful breath of fresh air full of energy. They're so helpful here. Definitely a must go to place. read more

I have been wanting to try this place forever now and am so glad we did! Brian the Kavatender was SUPER helpful and really educated us on kava and everything they offer. He had great recommendations and we got to try a few different things. Kava isn't necessarily the tastiest but they found a way to make it better! It is something everyone should try at least once! The overall vibe is very chill and everyone is super friendly! We got lucky that the day we went was a trivia night and it was fun to play! Everyone got to mingle and it was just a good time overall! We will be coming back! read more

Great service and environment for a little spot. Hopefully more locations will open up in the future.

The vibe was ok. Seemed like the service was kinda there but not really. Never really checked on us after we ordered our drinks

I finally had the chance to visit this place with my son and friend. None of us had tried Kava before and was a little nervous.The moment we stepped in, we felt at home. This place feels chill and has a nice vibe to it. The guys there were all so nice and informative. I wish I knew their names...I'm sure they told me but I'm having a blond moment right now. lol Ordered the Tongan to start. It was served in a traditional bowl. The guy brought out a little bowl of Skittles for chasing the bitterness away. We decided to go big and take the kava straight up! lol We were told that we have to mix it up before serving it into our individual bowls so the Kava sediment would be mixed around. We had a couple bowls each, talked story with each other and with the guys there. At my last bowl, I decided to pop a skittle in my mouth. Oh my goodness! It brought my kava into a new level! It was like having wine with your steak...it complimented the kava and took some of the bitterness away. Not that the bitterness bothered me, but who knew a little piece of skittle would bring out the taste of it? After chilling for a bit, we were asked if we wanted to try one of the flavor shots. I was saying that I can't imagine how a flavored shot would top our night but Wowee!!Decided on the Reece's pieces kava shot and oh my goodness!!! It was a perfect way to end our night! It was like a liquid Reece's pieces dessert drink...with no kava taste at all! Thank you boys for making our first visit awesome! Planning on coming bacK next weekend! xoxo read more

I THOUGHT I already reviewed 9th but it seems I didn't....so: YES on kava! YES on 9th Island Kava! Let's go line by line though. The kava: um, amazing. Utterly the best kava we have tried (we have experienced a LA kava joint, and homemade with a few different companies. 9th Island blows them all out of the water. With some kava you get a little funny in the tummy, and feel a little off along with your buzz...not with 9th - it's legit smooth. Now, I'm a taste person, and while I appreciate straight kava I'm a dumpster fire that appreciates Diet Dr. Pepper as a mixer...we have also made kava margaritas, piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris as well. With a few drops of their very well-priced kratom, it gives you the nicest buzz. Fun facts about kava versus alcohol (which I loved but it didn't love me, so we had to break up): The buzz alone is like a nice glass of wine and a hit of weed (which I also 86'd due to anxiety) - consistently, meaning as long as you are drinking it, you stay in that level of buzz. With kratom, however, it is like wine with a dose of euphoria. I'm a chatty drinker but with this, I'm just chill, and a little joyfully blurred around the edges - and completely capable of handling anything I need to if any emergency arises (which is very nice...a capable euphoric buzz, I would say.) Also, you get zero hangover....um, yes. It's an appetite suppressant (we are fasting on it today and have zero desire for food...when do you get to say that?!) It's a diuretic so you naturally lose water weight (but make sure to hydrate and use electrolytes to feel your very best). The environment at the establishment is lovely, a little vacant, cool, dark, and chill. Decent music surrounds what feels like little VIP booths. We haven't been there when it is busy, and are on a health-related diet so haven't been able to experience the refreshers or jello shots at the time of reviewing but will be happy to update. The people, however, make this place just the best! Shelly and Bryan are the two we have met so far and they are just the most fun, well-versed, and lovely individuals you could want to meet. They have karaoke, but we haven't been in for it just yet, but it seems like a perfect place for that silliness. Parking is fabulous and it's surrounded by a lot of sweet little shops and restaurants. Highly suggest supporting this unique spot to make sure that alternative bars like this can stay open and cater to those that don't want alcohol as a part of their regular. It's just a great place. read more

Never in a million years would I think I'd drink kava and enjoy it.... that's until I went to the 9th island kava lounge! This place is amazing for any occasion. I've been to baby showers, comedy shows, birthday party's , Halau fundraisers, Mother's Day brunch etc you name it! This is such a fun and unique place to hang out and socialize. We love getting the tanoa bowl of the chocolate peanut butter lava, it's our favorite. We always enjoy the kreatom drinks as well. We love how the staff is there to guide first time kava drinkers to let them know the healing benefits from all the drinks. They also now have kava candies and those are so yummy!! They def hit your mouth in .5 seconds. They always have events going on there like open mic, wahine Wednesday, comedy shows and so much more. The owners are amazing and down to earth people. They are always willing and open to open there shop to help out the community like hosting dinners on holidays to feed the community and so much more. If you ever get a chance check this place out!!! read more

Great product, great service, good selection, good prices. they even went as far as delivering my order while I was stuck on 10 hour shift at work. Much appreciated.! Will return and recommend to others! read more

Love this place! Everyone is so nice and they play the best music. Kava & kratom drinks are good, have tried a bunch of things off the menu.

C'MON! Try something New! I've been enjoying Kava on and off for about 15 years - starting after a trip to "Uncle's Awa Bar" in the Pahoa area of Hawaii's Big Island. I loved the friendly social scene of Uncle's - along with the good music & chill vibe. It was all the good of a neighborhood bar with none of the bad of the booze. 9th Island has the potential to be all of this right here in Las Vegas (minus the gorgeous Hawaiian weather, or course). Drinking kava (or "awa") is an ancient social tradition in many Pacific Island communities. But here's the thing... it's a functional beverage, not a tasty one. Yes, you can try to mask the flavor with fruit juices and such, but the bitter, woody taste is only tolerable - not delicious. This makes it a bit of a tough sell for many. Most of the customers I saw there were young Island guys who were hip to the whole scene already, and were clearly fine with the taste. IMO - like good black coffee, It is a taste worth acquiring, and quite enjoyable once you do. A single serving may give you a hint of kava's potential- but to really feel the full-on pleasurable effects, you have to consume a good bit of the stuff - which can quickly get expensive. That being said - if you're at all interested in a physically and mentally relaxing beverage that really lends itself to social interaction, grab a couple of friends and head to 9th Island for a new experience! I recommend jump-starting things with a shell (serving) of the plain, basic drink - just so you get the feel for it. After that, you might try a fruit juice "refresher", which is a tastier sipping type beverage. (The guava flavor is great). It may be a pleasant one-time experience for you - OR you might just find that peaceful Island vibe that you've been looking for - right here in Sin City. read more

Great Kava! Seats were a bit uncomfortable and it didn't have much seating or privacy to experience Kava like I have experienced before. Kava and service is excellent though. read more

Fantastic experience. 100% will return. Wanna do something a lil different? We had a fantastic first experience here! Island themed, live music, fantastic folks. Really really happy to have found this spot. read more

Thank you guys for a great first time experience with the kava drink great vibes here. Very knowledgeable about the kava thanks star and Kyle again! Will see you soon! read more

Great service and excellent product. I am visiting from Florida and it was as good as any I have enjoyed. They are growing and soon to add to the menu more delicious beverages. read more

Was referred by some friends to try this place and finally had the opportunity today. I wish I asked her name, as the girl helping us was amazing. She made us feel so welcome and at home. She walked us through everything as it was our first time trying kava. We had the sampler so we could get a taste of everything and figure out what we wanted. We ended up getting some of the flavored drinks. And she let us try the kava candy. It was a really good experience overall. We were told they have live music on Friday nights as well, so we will probably to head over one of those nights in the future. read more

I've become a regular here. They carry unique kava kava strains and are consistent. Their Kraft Tea candies and Kava candies are lifesavers. They also carry dakind botanicals shots! IYKYK. Service is perfect for the spot. Every once an a while they have live musicians and other musical artists performing live. Good vibes. Taz & Sonny always make you feel welcome. read more

What a delightful place! Taz & Lei welcomed me into the space and I felt totally at home. Kava tasted exactly as I recalled from the Big Island, and it wasn't long before I was feeling completely relaxed. They told me there's karaoke in some evenings too. Took home a variety of kava and other treats, and I will be back! read more

Loved the vibes, the customer service was top notch, the co-owners were very informative with us being first timers. We enjoyed the samples in which helped better decide on what we wanted to order. We'll definitely be back here! Mahalo read more

Cool spot and so nice to have a kava & kratom spot in Vegas! The service was also incredible!

This was in my collectors folder and finally made it!! I'm always trying to find unique places to visit. Kava is different and I enjoyed trying different flavors. We came on a quiet night which was great as a fist timer because we got a lot of attention. One of the owners sat down with us and explained Kava. Thank you. The service was awesome. Maybe we'll come back on Karaoke Night. read more

Our Kava server was the best, he was really chill so it was easy to ask him questions and he was very attentive, we got a strawberry social Tanoa and he offered us the Reese's kava as a sample, which was awesome! We all ended up get 2 shots each of them and the pineapple and mango. I honestly think the best flavor is the Reese's so be sure to try it.. Will be back for a Reese's Tanoa!! read more

Great kava and great staff! The vibe is really good here. A great place to chill out and get away from the Vegas hellscape. A real treasure in Las Vegas. Bula! read more

We had a great experience at 9th Island. Everyone was super welcoming. Jai is very knowledgeable. Kava has a unique flavor, an acquired taste, but they make it easier for the general public to experience this Polynesian drink by offering different fusion options, and even Jell-O shots and gummy versions! You can get kava (or cratom) to go or hand out in their chill lounge. We love the art they have up in the space! We had a fantastic time and learned so much! read more

Kava simply doesn't get any better than this! I have been drinking kava 2-6 days per week for a few years now and I just tasted the purest, cleanest kava I have ever tasted. I also met the owner, Jai, and his associate, Albert, who are class acts and are clearly experts in all things kava related. Everything is made in house and is very tasty... they even offer a homemade kratom drink! This is a perfect place for both the seasoned kava vet and the newbie looking to learn and try some for the first time. Great kava, great service, and great people. Easy 5 stars. read more

As soon as I walked in, I was warmly welcomed and took a seat. I perused the menu and decided to order a traditional Kava bowl, while my bf ordered four shots of the Reese's Pieces blend. The seating areas were nicely spaced out and comfortable, with small tables placed in every seating area. The arrangement of furniture as well as background music made the ambiance smooth and easy. Lyrics ran across the television screen, conducive to the karaoke machine in the front of the room. Karaoke can be played every night, just ask Jai or Kyle. The traditional Kava tasted the same as it usually does back home in Hawaii, except the blend was lighter. I had ordered the Tongan blend and found that it was so very easy on the palate. The Reese's Pieces blend, was very ono. The consistency was very creamy and the taste was a earthy nutty flavor. Jai and Kyle are two of the most down to earth people that you will meet. They take the time to sit with you and educate both the benefits of Kava and how it has expanded to the mainland USA. How awesome!!! Establishment opens around 5p and closes about 1a. A great venue to book small parties or big events. The whole establishment was very clean and not congested. Highly recommend this place to anyone regardless if they heard of Kava before or not. Come take part of the Kava experience! read more

Best place to relax from a long day. Good place to meet your friends. First time visiting the lounge. Kyle our Kavatender was amazing. He explained the different drinks and flavors. Will definitely return to visit again. read more

If you've never tried Kava you absolutely need to start now. It's an incredibly interesting sensation that you get from the beverage and the people that run this establishment make it even more adventurous. I highly recommend that everybody come here and give it a try. read more

Super chill vibes and great kava! Make sure you try the Reese's pieces flavor or the strawberry flavor! Definitely will be back

Great Kava, Great Vibes! Come to 9th Island Kava for relaxation. Staff is great. The flavors were fantastic.

First time here. Had a great experience. Live music was awesome. Kava was delish! Must have skittles to go with Kava to reduce bitterness. I would recommend dimming lights to enhance the vibe. We'll come back again! read more

Ok so I had to change this to 5 stars. Maybe I'm biased but it's because the owner is from Hawaii, however, when I first walked in I loved the fact that I was greeted by the owner himself and obviously being from Hawaii, I also loved the fact that the owner was welcoming. I brought my friend to in to try kava. I had been ranting and raving to her about it all day. I yelped to see if there was kava in vegas and there is! Not to mention Vegas has some strict regulations, so it's FDA certified people! I drink original kava but if there's flavor kava- I'm all about it. We were lucky that it wasn't too crowded, I'm not a big fan of crowds, and we also scored because the boxing fight match was on! The employees of the this business were always checking up on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and it made me feel like I was home away from home. If and when you come to Vegas check it out!! read more
