August 6, 2025 Kava Social Club Makes History at Bradenton’s Best Awards — Wins Big, Opens Second Location, and Continues to Raise the Bar (Without Alcohol) Bradenton, FL – In a landmark moment for the local hospitality scene, Kava Social Club has officially made history by becoming the first-ever non-alcoholic bar to win Gold for Best Bar at the Bradenton’s Best Awards. The popular 24/7 kava bar didn’t stop there—taking home Gold for Best Date Night Spot, Silver for Best Live Music, and Bronze for Best Coffee, proving that a new kind of nightlife is not only possible, but thriving. Founded by Ryan Bodie and Sara Lewis, Kava Social Club began as a small tea lounge with a big vision: to create a vibrant, inclusive community space where connection didn’t require alcohol. Just a few years later, the once-humble hangout has grown into a Bradenton institution, generating over $2 million in annual revenue—and now preparing to open its second location. More Than a Bar—A Movement Kava Social Club offers an extensive menu of kava, kratom, THC beverages, kombucha, over 20 botanical teas, and the best sweet cream cold brew in town. But it’s the culture and energy that truly set the place apart. Whether it’s karaoke night, open mic, trivia, live music, massage nights, Mandarin classes, or chess club (with a competitive team), Kava Social Club is where Bradenton gathers for fun, creativity, and connection. “We created Kava Social Club to be more than just a place to grab a drink,” said co-founder Ryan Bodie. “It’s a place where people can be themselves, connect, grow, and feel good—without needing alcohol to make that happen.” A Top Workplace—Built on Respect and Care Kava Social Club isn’t just beloved by the community—it’s equally celebrated by the people who keep it running.
