For centuries Pacific Islanders shared this magical drink called kava, by invitation only; then kava invaded the U.S. coasts. Now kava has a foothold on the Third Coast — SquareRüt; the first kava bar in Texas. Kava is like nothing you have experienced, (not legally anyway). For centuries, Kava has been used to relieve anxiety, stress and insomnia. Kava can also be a safe alternative to alcohol as fans say it promotes relaxation and a cheerful mood without impairment. Some consider it a medium between a java junkie and a beer buzzer.
