Did you know MN’s first kava lounge opened this year?
Clueless about kava? Me too. From their website, kava is a “calming beverage with roots in the South Pacific islands. … Made from the root of a pepper plant, Kava is known to soothe the mind, offering a natural reprieve from the stresses of modern life without impairing cognitive function.”
Plus they offer a free tarot reading with your first drink on Thursdays. 😍
