What walking in looks like
From the door to your first shell. Photos from Garden City bars on this page.

Walk in whenever.
1 stays open past 11 PM. Most look like a coffee shop that kept going: couches, a long bar, games on the shelf.

Say it's your first time.
The person behind the bar is the kavatender. Tell them you're new and they'll walk you through the menu. Nobody needs a reason for not drinking here.

Order a shell.
Kava comes in a small bowl called a shell. It tastes like bitter earth, so drink it all at once, then grab a chaser: pineapple, mango, sour candy or water.

Shells up! Bula!
When someone calls “Shells up!”, raise your shell. Then it's “Bula!”, and everyone drinks. Numb lips mean it's working. Feel nothing? Normal for the first time or two.

Stay for something.
Trivia Night on Wednesdays at Karuna Kava & Tea. Or just sit with your shell. That counts.

Never been to a kava bar?
Kava is a root from the South Pacific (Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga, Samoa). People there have drunk it together for thousands of years. It's ground, mixed with water and poured into a shell.
It relaxes your body and keeps your head clear. It tastes like bitter earth, so drink it all at once and follow it with a chaser: pineapple, mango, sour candy or water. Numb lips mean it's working. Plenty of people feel little the first time or two, and that's normal.
Go on an empty stomach, three or four hours after a meal, and drink a big glass of water with it. When someone calls “Shells up!”, raise your shell. Then it's “Bula!”, and everyone drinks.
Not into kava? Many bars also have tea, coffee or mocktails, plus board games, pool, trivia, open mic and live music. They open early and close late.
