The oasis
The desert oasis Phoenix has been waiting for.
Kava, kratom & botanicals — present, not impaired. Zero alcohol, all vibes. A watering hole with no bar-tab hangover, where you unwind, open up, and actually connect.
The root of it all
The Kava
A root from the South Pacific, brewed into a drink shared across the islands for centuries. Noble kava from Vanuatu is enjoyed for its warm, social calm — many describe feeling relaxed and clear-headed, fully present without the fog.
- Noble kava sourced from Vanuatu
- Enjoyed for a calm, sociable mood
- No alcohol · no next-day hangover
- Traditionally prepared, served the island way
The leaf
The Tea
Kratom is a leaf from the coffee family, native to Southeast Asia, brewed as a tea. Depending on the strain it can energize or ease — a versatile botanical we serve lab-tested and dialed to your vibe.
- Green for a clean lift, red to wind down
- Brewed as tea, lattes, or a tart lemonade
- Third-party lab-tested — no isolates, no junk
- Served responsibly, dosed with guidance

The gathering
No booze. All vibes.
Custom wall art, comfy seats, big TVs, and a couple of consoles going — a friend-and-family spot built to feel like your living room. Stay an hour, stay till 2 AM.
This kava bar had great vibes, unique atmosphere, and friendly staff. We liked the kava shots, they were surprisingly tasty. The tea and kava were also great. Will definitely return when visiting Phoenix in the future.
This kava bar is so amazing and the service is ridiculously on point! The vibes are beautiful, the decor is BEAUTIFUL and the people are wonderful. Truly a must if you live in Phoenix or are just visiting. 10/10 recommend.
This place feels like a second home to me — if you like a locals feel this is definitely the place to be. The product is great but the staff will keep you coming back. I ❤️ Twisted Totem.
