Description

Specialties

We specialize in Kava and delicious Island inspired cuisine. Tired of the same old bar and club scene? Looking for a more mature social gathering place that doesn’t revolve around alcohol in excess and high energy music? We were too, and since we couldn’t find one, we’ve built a healthier, more relaxing alternative to the Sacramento bar and club scene: The Root of Happiness Kava Bar.

Kava Kava is a relaxing beverage that has been enjoyed in the South Pacific Islands for over 3,000 years! Known as the «intoxicating pepper», it produces a cerebral buzz that is accompanied by muscle relaxation and anxiety reduction, making it the perfect alternative to other more damaging social lubricants. With a 3,000 year track record of use among some of the happiest, most relaxed, and friendliest people in the world, we have decided to bring Kava Culture to Northern California! Come on in and enjoy a shell and see what the buzz is about!

History

Established in 2013.

This business was started by two Ethnobotanists who have a serious love and respect for the traditional medicinal systems that have been employed by every culture throughout history. Kava is by far the most important medicinal of ancient Polynesia. The Polynesians went to great lengths to carry Kava plants with them in their sea-​faring canoes across thousands of miles of open ocean using nothing but the sun, moon, and stars to guide them to far off islands.

Fast forward 3,000 years… Over the course of their travels, these ethnobotanists came across this plant and discovered its wonderful properties. They then made it their mission to seek out and collect the very best of the best Kava from all over the Pacific and serve it to Northern California at The Root of Happiness Kava Bar.

Today, the bar serves 10 varieties from several islands and serves as an educational, and social gathering place for intellectually minded responsible adults who enjoy good Kava!
