Alcohol-free in Philadelphia this week

Events and deals at the city's kava bars, the moment bars post them.

Plus deals for the week, and any new first-timer deals.

Sober, in recovery, or taking a break

Kava isn't alcohol. Whether it fits your recovery is your call, and your program's. Kratom is a different plant and can be habit-forming, so ask which drinks have it.

Never mix kava with alcohol. Skip it if you're pregnant, nursing, or have liver problems.

Questions

Is my first shell free?

None of the bars in Philadelphia lists a first-timer deal on HappyKava right now, so plan to pay for your first shell. The weekly email tells you when one starts.

Does HappyKava pay for the shell?

No. The bars set and pay for their own deals. HappyKava shows you where they are, and the app is free.

What's in the weekly email?

Events and deals at alcohol-free kava bars in Philadelphia for the week ahead, plus any first-timer deals. One email a week. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

Do kava bars serve alcohol?

Most don't, and we leave out any bar that lists alcohol on HappyKava. Menus change, so call ahead if it matters to you.

Is kava the same as kratom?

No. Kava is a root from the South Pacific. Kratom is a leaf from Southeast Asia, usually served as tea. They feel different, and kratom can be habit-forming. Ask which drinks have it.
