Kava Culture Kava Bar is opening a new alcohol-free bar in Ormond Beach.

This is the 14th location for Kava Culture, which makes kava and handcrafted, all-natural botanical cocktails made by Botanical Brewing Co. that deliver "a unique alcohol-free buzz," according to a press release. A grand opening celebration will be held on Nov. 18.

“What a location,” said Jacqueline Rusher, co-founder of Kava Culture and Botanical Brewing Co. “There’s such a great vibe here, it’s easy to get to, and the community has been so welcoming. I just did a bula (toast) at our Friends and Family event and was inspired by everyone in Ormond Beach coming together. It’s all about people, plants, and the planet … and that booze-free buzz.”

Brett Morrison, who has been living a sober lifestyle since 2019, is excited about offering the community an elevated drinking experience without alcohol.

“If you’ve ever had kava or you’re a newbie, we hope everyone will stop by,” he said. “We’re not just a bar; we’re a tribe. We take great pride in crafting our mood-boosting products, hiring local, and supporting our community.”
