Muddy Water Kava

"All these Kava bars are categorized by Google as restaurants or alcohol bars or coffee shops it seems. So most of the rating questions don’t apply. Having said this, this is my favorite Kava/Kratom bar in the St. Pete/Tampa area. The staff is all very friendly and even more so as you become a regular. It can get busy and sometimes there is a line to wait in during rush hours, but nothing to deter you from coming in. It just means it’s popular and they serve great products. Don’t forget to try Evie’s Bakery items in the display case. All home made by a local. Some are vegan, some are not, but every single thing I have tried has been crazy delicious. There is a lot of free parking right out front which is nice, it’s pet friendly, and vape friendly indoors and cigs allowed outside on the large covered patio area/back yard; also great for friendly dogs. Working remotely here is great if you don’t have to take any calls. There are plenty of outlets, free fast wifi, and quite a bit of seating for laptop users including couches. Each kava tender plays their own selection of music, which helps keep the environment interesting. Note for remote workers only: I do wish they would keep the volume down during business hours, especially the bass. It’s basically impossible to take a business call or zoom meeting without my manager and coworkers asking to repeat myself or asking why it’s so loud where I am. Since the music is loud, the patrons talk much louder which just adds to it. I would suggest business hours have much lower volume, and then around 5pm crank it back up. But that’s just a personal preference as a remote worker. I started going to two other bars more often during work hours. Or just working from home. If you’re not taking/making calls during work, none of the above applies. Overall, I love this place, and have made some good friends here and even reacquainted with some from years ago. I highly recommend their Kratom (not a kava drinker here), and their prices are some of the best around."

"Love relaxing here while doing work, reading or just chilling with the husband. Very comfy, clean, welcoming environment that is super dog friendly. Our dogs love coming here to relax with us. Plenty of indoor seating and a ton of outdoor. There is even a doggy play area."

"This place opens early morning, til...early morning. I was here for regular morning coffee and it's good."

"A great space with friendly staff. Met friends here to collaborate on some art together. Had a great time. The kids enjoyed ping pong and there was plenty of fun stuff for dogs too!"

"This was such a fabulous find! Taking your dog out is sometimes a lot of work especially when they are young and on a leash. Makes it hard to enjoy your coffee. But this place take that work away and allows you to sit and enjoy your Java while your dog gets to socialize off the leash in a nice enclosed area. The indoor and outdoor seating is plentiful. The coffee was some of the best we've ever had. They didn't offer a food menu.... which is the only negative I can really give it but it makes sense if yiu are eating outside to not want the dogs all trying to get it. Prices reasonable. The patrons and staff we encountered extremely friendly. And it's just cute all around wherever you decide to sit. We will definately be back and highly recommend."
