Great place to meet new friends, share ideas and have meaningful conversations.I've been going to Mai Kai for a little over 4 years and I've met countless people I now consider friends. Erin and Heather have run an excellent venue that hosts terrific events: open mics, stand-up, and of course, trivia (Scott is the best MC in the business).I'd recommend Mai-Kai to anyone looking for a chill alternative to the rowdy bars around town. Come for the top-quality Kava. Stay for the vibe.Bula!
Surprised I havent left a review yet! This is ? my favorite place to be. The atmosphere is relaxing and chill, the drinks are strong amd taste good, theres a wide variety. They even sell bulk! when I first started drinking kava I had so many questions, and the owners are so smart and kind and welcoming and you just gotta stop by!! Stay forever like I did lol
Looks to be a very cool spot to hangout. I bought 2 oz. of KRATOM though (for quite the premium) and was not impressed by the products quality. They say it is tested, but there is no language, or very vague language at best on the packaging to suggest this is the case. It seems to just be their word. Other tested brands clearly list the alkaloid content on the packaging which is what I'm interested in. Saying it's not "gas station" KRATOM isn't really an adequate defense either because these brands seem to have even more testing (or at least claims) on the packaging than I've seen here. After going through their product and questioning its potency from the first times I tried it and switching back to another tested brand I've used in the past I immediately felt the difference in strength. I get the feeling that when they claim it's tested, what they really mean is it is free from harmful chemicals and additives, which I have little doubt it is, but they don't mean it's tested for potency.
Staff was very helpful and nice great products
Was looking forward to trying some of the kava bars in the area. I'm originally from Tampa Bay and we have some spectacular spots there. This place is not all that but if you like overpriced drinks with instant kratom that have no taste other than the kratom itself definitely for you.
In Gainesville today and decided to stop by. Awesome environment and love the drink I ordered. Wish they had one of these places closer!
First time I was there. Very nice atmosphere. Staff was pretty cool. Overall it was a good experience.
Always a friendly place and a good alternative to a bar. Staff and owners are very nice.
Intimate atmosphere, good music, awesome drinks, friendly staff and patrons, and superb pandemic precautions. Nice to find a place that hits all the marks
