Bakaris Pizza & Kava Lounge has operated in Atlanta's historic West End since 2013, billing itself as the area's original pork-free halal and plant-based pizzeria paired with an alcohol-free kava bar. The venue is fully zero-proof: its entire beverage program centers on kava, the South Pacific root traditionally used for relaxation. Bakaris serves traditional ceremonial kava, instant kava shots, and tropical "kavarita"-style blends, alongside wellness-oriented kava drinks marketed for "calm, clarity, and social vibes without alcohol." To-go ceremonial and instant kava packs are also available. The kitchen turns out halal turkey pepperoni and turkey bacon pizzas plus build-your-own vegan options with plant-based cheese, making it a draw for the Muslim community and sober-curious crowd alike. The lounge runs late-night, doubling as a community and wellness gathering space in Southwest Atlanta.
