For the first kava bar on Cleveland’s east side, the owners envisioned a peaceful space to nourish mental health by offering non-alcoholic drinks and community wellness events. Beverage drinkers linger for deep meaningful conversations in the welcoming environment with a tropical and bohemian flair. The space has become the center point of a strong community that not only brings in daily revenue from beverages, but flexes for open mic nights, book clubs, and sound baths. A big task for a small space, Slate Interiors Studio used calm colors and flexible seating options to achieve the community oasis.
