We love Heights Lounge! It’s in our neighborhood and it’s the perfect, chill spot to relax and unwind. They have a great happy hour menu and tons of weekly events too. We love the kratom! Such a great taste and plenty potent! The kava is so smooth and delicious! Definitely check this spot out if you’re looking for a new hangout!

If you're looking for a great spot to chill, study or hangout and have amazing crushed leaf kratom this is your spot. The kratom is seriously SO good. The kavatenders are so nice and friendly I really enjoyed talking with them. I just moved here and this will definitely be my new spot. 10/10 recommend!!

First of all, this place is way more spacious than I thought it would be. Very cool layout. Secondly, Dan is the man and elevates the vibe, for sure. I look forward to coming back for the spoken word open mic, trivia, and other cool events they have poppin' off. Needless to say, the drinks were super tasty.

I give this place a five-star rating on its presentation and knowledge of their product it was an absolute wonderful experience! I had a flight which included a kava shot a kratom shot and kratom jello shot. Then I had a tea and a shell and it was delicious! The atmosphere was great and the kavatender was wonderful! I would definitely be back! And this is coming from a kavatender herself. My mother is an owner of Jax Beach kava so if anybody's ever in Jacksonville Beach hit that place up it's wonderful too. Tell her I sent you I'm sure she'll give you a drink on the house!

Heights Lounge has been the one kava bar in Tampa that has welcomed me with open arms. Everyone there is so kind and outgoing both the customers and the employees. It has been a great spot for doing homework or just having some good conversations with cool people. I am also sober and this has been a great place to hang out and vibe out. Dan and Travis are two of my favorite kava tenders here at Heights!! They do all sorts of events. This photo is from mathletes vs. athletes bingo night.
