The Root Kava Co. 1641 28th Street, Boulder, CO 80301

"One of the only places I could actually hang out in for hours on end. You don't even have to buy anything if you don't want to. The vibes were very good and that's coming from someone who doesn't necessarily love going out to restaurants or bars."

"The Root is truly a hidden gem in the heart of the city. Coming in, you're immediately greeted friendly and helpful staff who are happy to explain what kava is. What sets this place apart is its commitment to providing an alternative to alcohol. It's refreshing to find a space where one can socialize and unwind without the effects of alcohol. The community here is next-level. Over time, I've had the pleasure of meeting a diverse group of individuals, all drawn together by a shared love for kava and a desire for genuine connection. Through this establishment, I've not only discovered a unique beverage but also cultivated a rich network of friendships with wonderful people. Whether you're a regular or a newcomer, the warm atmosphere and welcoming faces make every visit feel like coming home."

"Tried the kava for the first time and the guy was super helpful and nice. Stuff has a very earthy taste and I was surprised it was cold! But I liked the effect on my anxiety. It quieted the voice in my head"

"Pretty fun place to play board games and drink kava and Kratom. Sober bar. Great experience on a Saturday night. Had awesome local art on the walls"

"Fun non-alcoholic bar serving up kava and kratom drinks. Friendly staff and a fun atmosphere, with several video games stations, make this a worthwhile stop. Open late, as well!"
