Updated August 22, 2026

ONE-SENTENCE DESCRIPTION
HappyKava connects the kava community by helping people discover and stay connected to kava bars while giving those bars tools to manage, promote, and grow.

SHORT BOILERPLATE
Founder German Calas discovered the kava bar community in 2012, launched BestKavaBar.com in 2015, and went on to visit more than 500 kava bars. As the community grew, he saw how difficult it had become to know where to go, what was happening, and where friends were gathering.

He launched HappyKava in 2025 to bring regulars, travelers, kavatenders, and owners together in one place. HappyKava helps people discover and stay connected to kava bars while giving those bars tools to manage, promote, and grow. Built from within the community. Shaped by the community. Here to grow alongside it.

EXTENDED BOILERPLATE
HappyKava is a community platform built for the people and businesses that make kava culture feel like home. The app helps regulars, travelers, and first-time guests discover kava bars, see current deals and events, understand the live vibe, check in, collect Passport stamps, and stay connected to their home bar and kava crew. For owners, managers, and kavatenders, HappyKava provides an integrated set of tools to keep listings, menus, events, deals, loyalty, promotions, and guest experiences current.

Founder German Calas joined the kava community in 2012 and established BestKavaBar.com in 2015, when fewer than 150 kava bars operated nationwide. He traveled the country visiting and reviewing every bar he could, surpassing 500 different kava bars by 2024. Those years revealed a growing information gap: bar websites and social feeds were often incomplete, while guests wanted a reliable way to know what was happening now and owners needed practical tools made for the way kava bars actually operate.

German launched HappyKava in October 2025 to close that gap. By August 2026, the platform had grown to more than 26,000 users and more than 400 verified kava bars. HappyKava remains independently built from within the community, shaped by direct feedback, and rooted in a simple mission: connect the kava community and help its bars succeed and grow.
