An Alcohol Free Night Out at Rootwater Kava Bar

Tag: Places

Rootwater Kava isn’t your typical bar—and that’s exactly the point. 

They offer a different kind of night out—one that doesn’t revolve around alcohol but still feels social and welcoming. Whether you’re stopping in with friends or showing up for one of their events, it’s a space built around connection and community. If you’ve been doing Dry January or continuing to explore alcohol free options, Rootwater shows how alcohol free spaces can still feel lively, social, and worth showing up for.

So, what’s kava?

Kava is made from the root of a plant traditionally used in Pacific Island cultures for ceremony and connection. It’s known for its grounding effects, helping you relax without alcohol or a next-day hangover.

At Rootwater, kava is brewed fresh and served chilled in a shell or glass. The flavor is earthy, the experience is mellow, and the menu offers a thoughtful alternative to traditional bar drinks.

Why Rootwater Kava Stands Out

Rootwater is one of the few kava bars in the East Bay, making it a unique addition to the district.

Beyond the drinks, Rootwater hosts a rotating lineup of events, including weekly game nights, vinyl nights, pop up markets, and other community gatherings. Some nights are low key, others are more energetic—but they all center around bringing people together.
