Passage Kava Lounge is a fully alcohol-free, 21+ kava and botanical lounge in Madison, tucked in the EastSide Bowl plaza on Gallatin Pike S. Owned by Ryan and Warren Holding, it opened in 2024 and bills itself as the only Nashville-area bar dealing in zero alcohol. The Victorian-inspired room pours traditional kava (including a communal Bula ceremony), botanical teas, coffee, kratom, kombucha, and mocktails, with house kava drinks like Royal Cinnamon, Velvet Shortcake, and Berry Chocolate. Owner Ryan Holding describes it as "a mix of a coffee shop and bar, but without the bar fights," emphasizing connection over intoxication. The lounge programs nightly events: live music on Mondays and Tuesdays, trivia Wednesdays, and karaoke Thursdays. In its first months open, it placed second for Best New Business in the Nashville Scene's Best of Nashville 2024 awards.
