Rich Kennedy started Awa Na Kava 15 long years ago...
"Fort Lauderdale's Original Kava Bar - Since 2010"
You ALL Made This Place What It Is Today
and after all this time...
Kyle finally became an owner — and now we have to
move Awa Na Kava across the street before Feb 28
-
Good news: We have a new home lined up at 2751 E Oakland Park Blvd (literally across the street!)
-
How you help: Contribute whatever you can — sharing this is Miracle #2
After 14 years of rocking with Rich...
Miracle #1: Kyle became an owner.
For years, Kyle has been the face behind the bar — the bartender
you come here to see, the person who keeps the vibe right, remembers
you, and makes this place feel like home. After years of holding it
down, Kyle bought into ownership in March 2025.
Kyle brought his brother Nick in to handle the technical + operational work — the systems, the paperwork, the planning, the "this stuff" — so Kyle, Amber, Nicole & McFly can stay focused on what matters most: you (the people).
In the last 10 months, we’ve steadily improved everything.
It’s been hard work, but it’s been working.
Then, out of nowhere, the landlord decided we cannot renew our lease.
Last October, we were told the lease will not be renewed — and
now we’re on a clock we didn’t choose.
We have to relocate immediately, before Feb 28.
But the solution is right in front of us.
We found a great space directly across the street: 2751
E Oakland Park Blvd.
So close you can see it from our front door.
That’s Miracle #1.
Miracle #2 is up to you.
If Awa Na Kava has ever been your safe place, your community,
your routine — please help us make this move happen by contributing
what you can and sharing this campaign.
Afterall, you guys literally built this place together
over the last 15 years... Let's rebuild it together,
better, across the street!
“Awa Na Stay Alive”
All funds raised go toward:
-
Deposit + first rent + utilities setup for the new space ⬅️ = $14k
-
Move + build-out costs (permits, plumbing/electrical as needed, minimum required basic improvements) ⬇️
- Legal Compliance like all the business licenses, permits, and permissions/filings, etc. ⬇️
-
Equipment + setup to reopen fast (bar essentials/point-of-sale/local network)⬇️
-
Working capital to keep staff paid and doors open during the transition ⬆️= approx. $35k
"Awa Na Thrive"
Our relocation timeline: Exact Needs and reason for $75k target goal
-
Now → Lease signed + deposits paid = THIS IS OUR FIRST GOAL (Hopefully, within first 2 weeks of January)
-
Next: build-out + inspections (minimum viable to open includes new ADA bathroom and beverage prep area with 3 compartment sink and hand wash station. Electrical work requires panel upgrade. A/C unit need ductwork reroute and possibly a larger unit)
-
Big Push: get engineering drawings + pull permits + build-out + inspections + close permits + COA issued + relocate equipment + set up bar + reopen ASAP
-
By Feb 28: we must be out of the current location, completely... We will coordinate a group gathering to say goodbye to the space as we clear it out and lock it up for the last time and take one final photo out front, before we go across the street to take our first photo out front, at the new home
"Closing ask"
Ya know that tax return your about to get??? ...Can I ask you to invest it here? 🙏
If you can’t contribute right now:
sharing this is powerful. (Your personal words in support of
us + this link is valuable)
If you can contribute: thank you — we will post frequent updates
and use this momentum to reopen across the street, better than ever, together.
Whether you come here to see mixmaster KSP!, Amber with the good-books, Nicole with the baking/gardening vibes, McFly with the skate gremlin chaos, Rich with the OG stories, or Nick fixing something — We all come here for YOU: You’re part of what makes Awa Na Kava feel like home to us.
We found a new home literally across the street — Miracle #1.
Now we just need the move to happen — Miracle #2 is you.
If you can help, we’re grateful. If you can’t, share this and send
love from wherever you are.
Perks are up if you want them — our
way of saying thank you and keeping it a two-way street.
From all of us at Awa Na Kava... THANK YOU
LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER!
