Kava Collective is a fully alcohol-free kava lounge, tea house, and café in San Diego's University Heights, formerly known as Rooted Kava Bar. It bills itself as Southern California's premier kava destination and one of the only bars in the country still making kava in the traditional South-Pacific fashion, brewing small batches with strains sourced from Fiji and serving them in shells, quads, or the half-gallon "Otter" and gallon "Whale" sharing bowls poured from a traditional tanoa. Beyond kava, the menu spans kombucha, espresso and matcha lattes, and house non-alcoholic drinks like the Fake ID (adaptogen-infused kava mocktail), Java Kava, Afterglow, and Antidote. It's open late — to 1am weekdays and 2am weekends — with live music, art shows, yoga, and bingo nights.
