Rooted Kava Lounge

Regular for a couple years now. Coming from Florida, I was disappointed at the lack of kava options in NC- however, Rooted has helped me feel far less homesick! Good product, great location and FANTASTIC employees, the kavatenders are the absolute nicest and make you feel right at home!! Minus a star, however, for a loss of focus on kava and kratom products and a decline in options over the past year. Likewise some unprofessionalism and badgering. Beyond that, this is a great hangout spot with a good community.

Amazing place and community. Some i have met there have been there for me when noone was. Lots of different types of people and personalities, yet a commonality between almost everyone ive met there is respect and kindness. The average person I meet here is way more interesting and authentic than the average person I meet at bars. Sometimes i go here not to socialize, but to work on my laptop, like a coffee lounge. In short, whether you want to socialize, or study or get work done, this is an awesome place. Home brewed Kava and a wide variety of kratom products not to mention other aaesome merch

Really loved the drinks here, both the handmade drinks and the canned ones they stock. Good prices. Good service. Some locker room talk from staff members that I’d have preferred not to hear. Let’s keep it professional. I will return however. Overall good place!

Fantastic atmosphere in here, some really fun community events, and an interesting line up of drinks. Perfect for people looking to enjoy a bar experience without actually going to a bar. Or a great spot to hang out with friends. Love this place!

I showed up for the first time tonight not knowing what to expect. This isn't my first kava bar, so I had quite a few to compare to. I have to say, the kindness and community I found at Rooted is unmatched! I didn't know it was a cash-only bar, and someone actually paid for my drink. I wanted to play for the open mic, but I showed up 1.5hr late after all the slots had been taken. Tut, the awesome MC and host of the night, was gracious enough to let me play a few songs anyway. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Thanks for a great night! 10/10 would recommend!!
