In each bar's own words
Your first time
Kava is a root from the South Pacific, 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. Numb lips mean it's working.
Tell the kavatender it's your first time; they'll steer you. When someone calls “Shells up!”, raise your shell. Then it's “Bula!”, and everyone drinks. Some bars have a First Time Guide poster by the door: scan it for a one-minute walkthrough.
Kava bars open early and close late, so go whenever suits you: after work, a lazy afternoon, or late.
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.
