Kava Bar Near Hollywood, Florida

Getting Here from Hollywood

The fastest route from Hollywood is north on US-1 to downtown Fort Lauderdale, which takes about 12 minutes. You can also take I-95 North to the Broward Boulevard exit and head east. From Hollywood Beach or the Broadwalk area, head west on Hollywood Boulevard to US-1 and turn north. Street parking is available along SW 3rd Avenue and in nearby public lots in the downtown Fort Lauderdale entertainment district.

Why Hollywood Locals Choose PoorHouse

Hollywood has a strong nightlife scene along Hollywood Boulevard and the Arts District near Young Circle, but no dedicated kava bar. PoorHouse Kava fills that gap for Hollywood residents who want a social night out without alcohol. The crowd from Hollywood's beach scene and arts district tends to appreciate the combination of live music and a more relaxed atmosphere that you do not get at a typical bar.

Kava pours at PoorHouse start at just $3 (3oz), $6 (7oz), or $13 (16oz) — compared to $16 to $18 at many upscale competitors in Broward. The bar operates inside the original Poor House dive bar at 110 SW 3rd Ave, which gives it a raw, authentic energy that polished lounges cannot replicate. Bands rotate through jazz, rock, indie, blues, punk, hip hop, and karaoke nights, so the vibe changes depending on when you visit.

What Hollywood Regulars Order

Hollywood regulars split between traditional kava shells and custom K-Tea builds. The full menu offers your choice of base (juice, milk, or traditional), flavor shots, and functional boosts. Many Hollywood visitors also order gallon-sized quantities for home use, beach gatherings, or group sessions.

If you are new to kava, the bartenders will walk you through the options. The calmer hours between 2 PM and 6 PM are ideal for a first visit before the late-night music crowd arrives.
