Plan a kava trip around real bars.
TravelRoot plans road trips, bar hops, and kava crawls around real kava bars, with their hours, happy hours, and events in mind.
- Free on iPhone and Android
- Road trips, bar hops, and crawls
Three ways to use it
- 1
Road trip
Find the kava bars along your route
Not just near where you start and end. See stops that fit the drive without big detours, and plan around their hours, deals, and events.
- 2
Bar hop
Build a night around more than the closest pin
Start where you are or pick an area. Make a loop through new bars, current deals, Passport stops, or tonight’s events, without crossing town twice.
- 3
Kava crawl
One route and one order for the whole group
Birthday crawls, meetups, Passport days, and visiting friends. Everyone can see the stops, the order, and what comes next.
Why not just use a map?
A map gets you to a pin. TravelRoot plans the night.
It helps you pick the stops, the order, and the timing.
Real kava bars
Routes are built from HappyKava bar listings, not guesses from a map search.
Stops that fit the direction
Suggestions follow your route instead of one long list sorted by distance.
Better timing
Posted hours, deals, happy hours, and events help you decide when to arrive and when to move on.
Your preferences
Favor your favorites, bars you have not tried, Passport bars, deals, or a kava you are looking for.
A route you control
Add or remove stops, change the order, save the trip, and go back to it later.

Questions
What is TravelRoot?
TravelRoot is HappyKava's route-planning feature for trips built around kava bars. It helps you create road trips, local bar-hopping routes, and planned kava crawls using real HappyKava bar listings and route-aware stop suggestions.
Is TravelRoot only for long road trips?
No. TravelRoot works for cross-country drives, shorter trips between cities, neighborhood bar hopping, and custom multi-stop crawls. A TravelRoot trip can cover hundreds of miles or just a few nearby bars.
How is TravelRoot different from Google Maps or Apple Maps?
Traditional map apps are designed to navigate to places you already selected. TravelRoot helps you decide which kava bars belong in the trip, how they fit together, and what order makes sense. When it is time to drive, TravelRoot can continue into a supported navigation app for directions.
Can TravelRoot find kava bars along my driving route?
Yes. For road trips, TravelRoot is designed to find route-compatible kava bars between your starting point and destination while respecting the amount of additional travel you are willing to accept.
Can I use TravelRoot for local kava bar hopping?
Yes. You can use it to build a local route through a city or neighborhood, discover bars you have not visited, reduce backtracking, and organize the stops around the kind of night you want.
Can I create my own kava crawl?
Yes. A planned crawl lets you choose the bars, organize the stop order, and create a clear itinerary for the trip. You can adjust the route as the night changes and keep the next stop easy to identify.
Can TravelRoot help me find happy hours, deals, and events?
TravelRoot can use current information available through HappyKava, including posted bar hours, deals, happy hours, and events, to help inform the route. Individual bar schedules and availability can change, so check the latest bar details before making a long detour.
Can I plan around a favorite kava strain or canned drink?
TravelRoot can help prioritize relevant bars when matching product or menu information is available in HappyKava. Because bar inventory can change, confirm availability directly with the bar when a specific item is essential to your trip.
Can TravelRoot help me find a quieter place to work?
TravelRoot can help you review current posted events and bar information before choosing a stop. That makes it easier to avoid a known large event when you are looking for a calmer place. Live crowd size, seating, and noise levels can still change throughout the day.
Can I add, remove, or reorder stops?
Yes. TravelRoot is designed to let you shape the itinerary rather than forcing you to accept the first route. You can review stops and modify the trip to better fit your plans.
Can I save a TravelRoot trip and return to it later?
TravelRoot supports trip continuity so you can plan ahead, return to a saved trip, and keep your route progress together while traveling.
Does TravelRoot work with HappyKava Passport?
Yes. Passport participation can be one of the factors you use when planning a route, making TravelRoot useful for building Passport exploration days and multi-bar Passport trips.
Can a group use TravelRoot for a kava crawl?
Yes. TravelRoot gives an organizer a clear route, stop order, and next-stop plan that the group can follow. This reduces dependence on scattered map links, screenshots, and constantly changing group messages.
Does TravelRoot work everywhere?
TravelRoot works in areas where HappyKava has eligible kava bar listings and sufficient location information to build the trip. Coverage will continue to become more useful as additional bars and markets are added.
Do I still need a navigation app?
TravelRoot plans the kava-focused itinerary. When it is time to travel to a stop, it can connect the trip with supported navigation options for turn-by-turn directions.
