What We Do
We’re proud to announce that Mesmer Kava is now officially Vermont’s first and only kava bar—with a physical location right in Burlington!
At Mesmer, you’ll find a curated selection of premium, traditionally prepared kava served fresh, along with tasty kava-based mixed beverages. For those who prefer to enjoy kava at home, we offer bottled kava in any amount you’d like.
We also cater private events, retreats, and pop-ups, and love bringing the kava experience to a wide range of settings throughout Vermont and beyond.
Education remains central to what we do. Whether we’re introducing someone to kava for the first time or diving deeper into its cultural roots, preparation methods, and effects, we’re passionate about creating workshops and conversations that inform and inspire.
Above all, Mesmer is about connection. Our new space is more than a kava bar—it’s a hub for community, creativity, and conversation. We can’t wait to welcome you!
Traditional Kava & Tasty Kava-Based Mixed Drinks
We offer only the highest quality noble kava from the South Pacific, prepared by hand every day in our location in downtown Burlington, Vermont. Stop in and enjoy some traditional kava or one of our incredibly delicious kava-based mixed drinks. Hang out in our relaxed lounge area, or take it to enjoy on the waterfront, at home or elsewhere.
Private Events & Pop-Ups
Join us for kava socials, find us at retreats, pop-ups at local events or have us provide kava for your private function.
Workshops & Education
Interested in a full Introduction to Kava workshop? Want to learn how to make it? Curious about the history, traditions and methods of consumption? Reach out – we’d be happy to provide a full workshop and kava session for you and your group.
Community Building
Kava brings people together! Whether your interests are art, music, philosophy, science, spirituality or something else entirely, we aim to connect people from all walks of life through the medium of kava. In fact, one of the most magical things we've witnessed as a result of kava is the coming together of people that would never otherwise connect. Finding commonalities amongst disparate ideas. Compassion despite differences.
