About this Event

Presented by Mesmer Kava and Lucky You

What if stepping away from alcohol didn’t mean giving something up, but gaining something better?

Come hang out. Meet some people. Try something new.

This is a relaxed, social afternoon at the Lucky You Lounge where you'll get to experience traditional kava - one of the world's oldest social drinks - in good company and with zero pressure.

Kava has been bringing people together for centuries. It eases tension, sparks conversation, and leaves you feeling calm and clear, all without alcohol. If you've ever wished you could take the edge off a social situation without drinking, this is your answer.

We'll guide you through the experience at a comfortable pace, share a bit of the history and culture behind kava, and leave plenty of room for questions and real conversation. Think of it less like a class and more like a gathering with an interesting shared experience at the center.

You'll come away knowing:

  • What kava actually is and how it works
  • Why it's genuinely different from alcohol - at the nervous system level
  • How to use it as part of a healthier social ritual
  • ...and of course, you get to experience kava's effects for yourself!

Details

  • Limited to 20 people - intentionally small
  • Includes a full guided kava experience
  • 21+ with ID


About Your Hosts
Mesmer Kava

Mesmer Kava is Burlington’s first kava bar - a space designed for slowing down, connecting, and creating real conversation. Our mission is simple: to offer a welcoming third space where people can gather, relax, and share meaningful time together without alcohol.

At Mesmer, everything is intentional - from the atmosphere to the drinks to the conversations that unfold around the bar. We believe good spaces help people feel better, think deeper, and connect more honestly.

Come have a shell and see what makes Mesmer a little different.


Lucky You

Lucky You is Burlington's first alcohol-free bottle shop. We stock a curated selection of NA spirits, ready-to-drink cocktails, functional beverages and de-alcoholized wines. Our newly outfitted Lucky You Lounge is host to a variety of events that support our community thru education, entertainment and other opportunities to gather without alcohol. We love putting sips to lips! Stop by, say hi and explore this exciting, rapidly-expanding category of beverages with us.
