🌿 About The Karma House
The Karma House isn’t your average bar — we’re an alcohol-free kava bar and community hub in Lakewood, CO. Our space was created to bring people together through music, art, wellness, and connection. From live shows to poetry nights to wellness workshops, everything we do centers around community and creating a safe, welcoming atmosphere for all.
🥥 What is a Kava Bar?
Kava bars are unique gathering places where people come to connect and unwind without alcohol. Instead of cocktails, we serve traditional Polynesian kava — a calming root tea that has been used for centuries in the South Pacific for relaxation, stress relief, and social connection.
🍵 What is Kava?
Kava is made from the root of the Piper methysticum plant. It has gentle, grounding effects that can help calm the body and quiet the mind, making it perfect for relaxing, connecting, and enjoying good company. At The Karma House, we prepare our shells of kava with care and community in mind — it’s more than a drink, it’s a ritual of connection.
