## What is HappyKava?

From your morning shell to last call, your kava bar life in one app.

700+ kava bars. HappyKava shows you the best deal nearby, which bars & lounges are open right now, who's there, what's on today, and a game for every wait.

ALL IN: YOUR WHOLE DAY ON ONE SCREEN
Now, My Bar, Friends, Order, Tonight, Shop, Play, Perks and Go, stacked on one Home. Move the lanes into the order you like, or switch to Classic, For You or Travel.

DEAL RADAR
Stop scrolling through deals. Deal Radar picks the best ones near you, tells you why, and shows what you actually save against the menu price. Check in for perks like Always Happy Hour and First Cup at participating bars.

YOUR CREW, YOUR BAR, ONE INBOX
Friends, meetups, bar group chats and orders all sit in one inbox, with replies, reactions and message requests. See who's down, start a Meet Up, browse the Vibes from bars nearby, and tap OMW so your crew knows you're on the way.

GAMES BUILT FROM REAL BARS
• BULA RUSH: a runner game that crawls through real kava bars, each drawn from its own rooms and playing its own song. Run the Daily Crawl, outrun the mop in Closing Time Survival, pick your path through a nine-bar Krawl Expedition, and earn new runners by checking in.
• Turf: check in and play to hold your bar against other regulars and crews.
• Shell Hunt: find the shell hidden in a bar's level each week, playable only while you're there.
• Perfect Pour: time the pour, then challenge a friend. Loser buys the next shell.
• Kava Charades: one phone, the whole table.

EVENTS, RSVPS AND HOSTS
Trivia, bingo, karaoke, live music and open mics. RSVP free, keep your ticket in the app, and follow the hosts who run your favorite events to see where they're playing next.

TRAVEL MODE AND TRAVELROOT
Pick a city and see what's open, how far it is, and what's on today. Shortlist bars, build a route, and plan it with your crew: vote on stops and share one itinerary. Follow the trip from your Lock Screen with a Live Activity.

ORDER AHEAD
Order pickup or delivery where your bar offers it, reorder your usual in a tap, and follow your order live. Play BULA RUSH while you wait.

SHOP AND GIFT CARDS
Shop products from the kava brands you love, and buy gift cards for your favorite bars, kept in Apple Wallet.

KNOW YOUR KAVA
Browse kava strains by origin and profile, compare two side by side, and see which bars near you pour them.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Widgets for your Home Bar, Deal Radar and what's happening today, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.

AND EVERY VISIT
Join the BULA Alert countdown when the bar calls a house BULA, leave a note on the Community Wall, and earn free drinks with HappyKava Passport at participating bars.

HAPPYKAVA+
An optional membership that unlocks the full Deal Radar and more, with monthly and annual plans. See what's included before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

FOR KAVA BAR OWNERS
Claim your bar for free. Run your listing, menu, deals, events, tickets, team and group chat from your phone or at happykava.app.

### 5/5 — Really good and almost perfect!

*2026-10-06*

This is such a well made app and it has so much useful details and tools. It's a little overwhelming and some bars aren't totally up to date, but it's the best kava bar app by far

### 5/5 — Free delivery orders are amazing

*2026-10-05*

I just placed an order for delivery from a local kava bar on this app, and I'm so impressed. No upcharge and was way faster than other delivery apps. Was not expecting that!

### 5/5 — Bula Rush is amazing

*2026-10-03*

I downloaded this for the bula rush game. So many bars I've been to are in the game, and they look exactly like they do in real life. wow!

### 5/5 — kava bar veteran

*2026-09-19*

a app for kava bars? it can't be that good. Oh, that's where I was wrong. This thing has everything and more. Whoever made this definitely knows the kava community too well.

### 5/5 — Lowkey kava

*2026-09-19*

I already spend too much time at Lowkey Kava Bar.  Now they have me opening HappyKava all the time too 😂  At least BULA RUSH gives us something else to argue about besides whose turn it is to buy shells.

### 5/5 — Customers made me download it

*2026-09-17*

I'm a kavatender and I've had multiple people walk in and say "I found you guys on HappyKava" so I had to check it out, and wow. This is awesome. Our manager signed up and we're officially on happykava now!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-09-15*

I love this app! German really knocked it out of the bar with this one. Next time I see you, I grab you a shell!

### 5/5 — Happykava is where its at

*2026-09-14*

Can't say enough good things about this app. Kava bar hopping between happy hours has never.
