Kava bar , nice atmosphere 👌 Kava isn't really my thing but I went to see some bands I know. Yes this is an alcahol free bar but I had a really great time .

It's a unique experience for those looking to get away from the normal bar scene and have peaceful and relaxed socializing environment alcohol free. I'm not much of a fan of Kava, but the tea is wonderful! And the sound there is actually quite superior to The Range for instance, and not nearly as loud. There's actual comfortable furniture to sit down on when you're tired of standing or dancing. It's been a good experience seeing bands there. Again, there is no alcohol of any kind. It's an all ages establishment. Different but definitely an Oasis from the normal nerve shattering bar and club scene in Ithaca. Different vibes for neurodivergent scribes I guess. Haha!!

This place is by far the best all ages music venue in the area. It always sounds fantastic and the vibe is really great. A nice comfortable atmosphere with an excellent downtown location.

It's a beautiful friendly vibe here. With tea 🍵 It is clearly set up to support a community and open for friends gathering at an alternative to a bar scene. This is where you should come to get delicious organic teas. "Every cup brewed with care and steeped in love." I just made up that tagline for them. 😋

aside from the kava, this is a great venue that hosts unusual kinds of events. There are limited beverage and food choices but what they do have is unusual and high quality. Very laid-back atmosphere. A great Ithaca resource.

I had Kava here for the first time ever and they were very welcoming, explaining what it is and the effects it can give you. It's very relaxing and so is the atmosphere. Plus if you like music, their sound system is incredible

A great place to try some tea and relax. The Kava tea has a unique taste. I suggest the coconut vanilla, but they might be out of vanilla part! It tastes weird different. And the taste will stay in your mouth for awhile. To me it tasted like Mylanta a bit. But you need to try. Unfortunately could not try it in the coconut shell but definitely go for it. How to get there? There is small white door almost covered with leaves around it, so for first timers if you are in a car drive slow. Also I did not see a designated parking for the shop. After you enter, the shop is downstairs. It has a lounge and a lovely cozy feeling to it. It also has a bar shape area that you can sit. the girl working there was a singer and super nice. Love to visit again if I ever pass there.

Went to scout the Wednesday night open mike. Relaxing ambeance. If there was ever a feel for the old beatnik coffee houses in a modern kava house, this is it. No food. Wasn't there to eat
