"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment we stepped into Root Awakening Kava Bar in Nashua, NH, we knew we had landed somewhere special. The space is beautifully decorated—with an island-meets-modern-lounge vibe that immediately invites you to slow down, breathe, and connect. Our bartender, Ashley, was a shining star—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to help guide our night. She hooked us up with two standout drinks: the “Kava Rita” (seriously, who knew kava could feel this fun?) and the “Give Me S-O-M-A-O-S” kava drink, which delivered the perfect balance of flavor and mellow good-vibes. These aren’t just drinks: they’re community-builders in a glass. Big thanks to Tim for his warm hospitality and thoughtful advice—he treated us like we were part of the crew, not just customers, and his suggestions added a layer of authenticity and depth to the experience. What really stood out, though, was the community that surrounds this place. Everyone—from regulars chatting at the bar to newcomers discovering kava for the first time—felt welcomed. It’s the kind of bar where you leave not just chilled, but uplifted, as though you’ve been part of something meaningful. If you’re looking for an adult lounge that skips the alcohol and leans into connection, quality, and atmosphere, Root Awakening is a must-visit. Ashley, Tim, and the whole vibrant crowd there made our evening unforgettable—thank you for creating such a beautiful space and experience. We’ll absolutely be back."

"We are Florida kava bar folks and stopped in while on vacation. We met the owner who couldn't have been nicer to me and my wife. Brought our two kids in even, for a few minutes. The atmosphere was great. Being an avid kava consumer, the kava was OK. Wasn't the best, but respectable and I'd drink it again. The kratom seemed very weak, unfortunately. Again, to be fair, I'm used to a certain type brewed in our Florida kava bars so I won't hold it against them, it was just different. I'd definitely highly recommend anyone to stop in an try it. We love the kava scene and I'm very happy for the owner and his family! We wish him the best!"

"I was looking for a bar for a quick drink and stumbled upon this hidden gem. What a find! The drinks are delicious and the atmosphere gives off a bar vibe without any alcohol. The kava gives you a “buzz” but does not get you drunk. I haven’t gone back to alcohol ever since I found this place. The staff is very welcoming and started treating me like family by the second time I stopped by. Definitely try this place if you’re looking to try kava, experience a bar atmosphere without drinking alcohol, or just looking to relax!"

"This place is wonderful for relaxing and hanging out with friends in an alcohol free environment. Everyone here is warm and friendly and treats you like family. The kava drinks are delicious and unique. The decorations are calming and have a charming South Pacific Island vibe. Activities like karaoke and trivia are offered on some nights of the week. I would highly recommend Root Awakening Kava Bar!"

"Always a warm greeting and a very informative explanation of Kava is what you get if you have never been here before. The drinks are freshly made and suited all our tastebud needs. The vibes are very chill and relaxed. Would reccomend if you are looking for low key hang out spot and a drink to take the edge off."
