About Kava Saia

Kava Saia describes its drinks through three main categories: kava, tea and mocktails. That gives a group several starting points when ordering. Its Instagram is also the main public place to follow what is happening at the bar, from individual event announcements to changes affecting a particular gathering.

The Pulse Spoken Mic invitation is unusually broad. Poems, stories, prose, journal entries and notes kept on a phone all fit the event, and listening is welcome too. This makes the format approachable for someone who wants to attend without preparing a performance. Check the latest announcement before setting out for a specific event.

Questions about Kava Saia

Can I order something other than kava?

Yes. Kava Saia also advertises tea and mocktails, so a group does not have to order the same kind of drink.

Do I need to perform at the spoken-word event?

No. The Pulse Spoken Mic announcement explicitly welcomes listening, along with readings of poetry, prose, stories and personal writing.
