Okay so forget that Jimmy and Kristy are two of my oldest and nearest friends, anyway you slice it, the fact is that what Jimmy has done with the Lotus is just fantastic....when he looked at me about 12 years ago in front of 312 S Dixie Hwy...in front of a mound of dirt higher then the building in front...

I tried Kava for my birthday with a friend at the West Palm Beach location. The bartender was very nice and informative. My friend refused to drink it b/c she didn't like the "earthy" taste. I guess she was expecting some kind of sweet drink. I told her that Kava is for your mood and mind to relax and treat... More

My friends and I were looking for something different. This place certainly was different. They were upfront and said that the taste was earthy. I was able to get past the fact it tasted like my face way shoved in mud. The problem was is the person behind the bar making the kava said it would make you relaxed and... More

This was a great bar, the bartender was friendly ( I think her name was kylie). A great place to relax and unwind, the kava is a great experience. It would be great if it was a little bigger with some couches to sit around, and maybe offer some other types of herbal drinks with kava would be a great... More

The place is very true for what it is known for. Great bar, music, and super laid back environment. The best part is that the staff is very friendly which makes me revisit them frequently. A+ More

Okay, here is the rundown on the purple lotus. Crazy. Try the Komodo if u want a serious boost of energy. I had mine at 3pm with a colleague and we both felt energetic but relaxed for about 3 hours. The bartender was really nice and informative, though the price is high but worth it. Will definitely be going back... More

I stumbled upon Purple Lotus Kava Bar as I was walking home from dinner downtown one night. What a find! Purple Lotus has a great atmosphere and inviting vibe. It's a nice change from the bar scene, especially if you're looking for something different - whether you're in town on vacation or whether you're here to stay. If you haven't... More

I had never heard of Kava and had no idea what it was before someone took me to this bar - definitely an interesting experience. They brought out the kava in little coconut shells and everyone definitely got a bit mellow. Aside form that, the vibe is super chill - couches, good music, etc. and while it's island-y, it's not...

My friends and I came here and tried kava for the first time. None of us knew what to expect from it. The bartender suggested we try the original Kava to begin with, saying it was a great natural alternative to alcohol. Taste wise it is a 2/5, effect wise a 3/5. Mainly we all experienced a relaxed feeling (and... More
