Before you go

Kava bars are quieter than bars, the drink is earthy and numbs your mouth slightly, and the effect is calm rather than intoxicating. Our guide covers what it's like.

Kava is not risk-free: it has been associated with liver problems, particularly alongside alcohol or certain medications, and it isn't recommended in pregnancy. If you take regular medication or have a liver condition, ask a doctor rather than a bartender. Nothing here is medical advice.

3 of these 5 have their alcohol policy corroborated against Google's business data — what our checks mean. Some venues calling themselves kava bars also serve beer, so it's worth checking. Tell us if we've missed one.

Common questions

How many kava bars are there in Ohio?

We list 5 across 5 cities — 2% of every kava bar in our national directory. There's no official register, so treat this as what we've found and checked rather than a definitive count.

Which Ohio city has the most kava bars?

Athens, with 1. The top three cities hold about 60% of the state's total, so the scene is concentrated rather than spread evenly.

Do kava bars serve alcohol?

Most serve none at all, which is the point. Some do also serve beer, and we've found venues describing themselves as kava bars while holding a licence — so check before you assume.
