Kava Cove Lounge

IN A WORLD… where your Thursday night plans are completely ordinary... one venue dares to bring you the exceptional extraterrestrial showdown.

This Thursday, June 11th at 8 PM, Kava Cove presents a sci-fi crisis of galactic proportions: CHOOSE YOUR OWN SPIELBERG MOVIE NIGHT!

Before his highly anticipated new blockbuster Disclosure Day invades theaters this weekend, you hold the power over the classics.

Will you choose the mashed-potato-sculpting obsession of Close Encounters of the Third Kind? The tear-jerking, bicycle-flying nostalgia of E.T.? Or Tom Cruise running from giant, terrifying tripods in the 2005 War of the Worlds remake?
The government won't tell you what's out there... and honestly, neither can we, because THE AUDIENCE GETS TO CHOOSE THE FILM!

VOTE AT THE COVE! Arrive early to claim your quadrant, grab a kava or tea, and prepare to marvel at the extra-terrestrial genius of the master himself.

Rated R for Rad. Side effects may include sudden urges to cry, scream and phone home.

🚨 THIS THURSDAY: THE SLEEPER HIT OF THE SUMMER! 🚨

In a world where you already know every twist, every trailer, and every predictable Hollywood trope... comes a cinematic event so unpredictable, you don’t even know what you’re watching.
This Thursday, June 4th, at 8pm Kava Cove presents a mind-bending, genre-defying, interactive experiment: CHOOSE YOUR OWN MOVIE NIGHT! 🎬✨

It’s the ultimate mystery box of cinema, and you hold the remote.

Step 1: Prior to the lights going down, the crowd gathers, and a random genre is drawn from the vault.

Step 2: Our resident movie geek and host, Adam, will step up to the mic. He’s got four mystery films locked and loaded. He’ll give you the plots, the hooks, and the hype—but there's a catch! No titles, no actors, and no director names. Zero preconceived notions. Total cinematic mystery.

Step 3: The Cove Movie Night Fam votes. The highest tally wins, the reels spin, and the main feature begins!

Will it be a forgotten '80s cult classic? A '90s hidden gem? You won't know until the opening credits roll!

🎟️ THE BOGO BOX OFFICE BONUS!

Every great summer blockbuster needs a buddy dynamic. Bring a friend to the theater! Once your guest purchases their first drink, you get upgraded to VIP status—entitling you to any non-canned drink of your choice at Happy Hour pricing!

Don't miss the sleeper hit of the season. Grab your crew, grab a shell, and let's make movie history. Show up this Thursday—the plot twist is up to you!

🚨 WARNING: BRACE YOUR EYEBALLS! 🚨
Kava Cove’s Ultra-High-Octane, Face-Melting 3D Movie Night!

Have you ever wanted to see a high-definition port-a-potty launch into the stratosphere?

Have you ever asked yourself, "Gee, I wonder what a swarm of angry bees looks like flying directly at my nose?"

Well, wipe those tears of joy from your eyes, you beautiful weirdos, because Kava Cove is bringing you the pinnacle of high-brow cinema: Jackass 3 in GLORIOUS, CHEESY, TRADITIONAL THREE-DIMENSIONAL VISION! Tomorrow, Thursday, May 28th at 8pm!

We are talking about premium, budget-tier, plastic-and-cardboard optical technology that will make Johnny Knoxville and the boys look like they are standing right in front of you, questioning their life choices.

We have a highly classified, limited-edition stash of Official Jackass 3D Glasses.

Snag a delicious drink, get a pair of glasses absolutely FREE.

The Catch: We only have 20 pairs. Once they’re gone, you’re stuck watching a blurry, double-vision mess of chaotic stunts. Don't risk it.

PRO-TIP FOR MAXIMUM TRASH-CINEMA IMMERSION

Arrive early and claim your stake at the BAR AREA. Science (and our resident experts in absurd optics) proves that sitting at the bar yields the absolute best, most depth-defying 3D experience. Plus, you're closer to the drinks. It's a win-win.

This is your final chance to revisit the absolute peak of the franchise on the big(gish) screen before the final Jackass movie hits theaters this summer.

Let’s be honest—watching a man high-five his friend with a giant spring-loaded hand is fun. Watching it while laughing uncontrollably, sipping kava, and questioning reality with your favorite Kava Cove family? That is priceless.

Get here early, grab your drink, claim your glasses, and let’s get weird!

🌴 VISIT KAVA COVE... IF YOU DARE! 🌴
Looking for an escape from the daily grind? Ready to trade your "kava and botanical teas" for some sand, surf, and absolute psychological mayhem? Then pack your bags (metaphorically—please don't bring luggage to Kava Cove) for a one-night-only excursion!

📍 DESTINATION: Sam Raimi’s SEND HELP
This Thursday, May 6th @ 8:00 PM

Forget what you know about island living. This isn't a volleyball-talking, beard-growing FedEx commercial. This is NOT Cast Away.

Instead, we’re following the incredible Rachel McAdams as she discovers that being stranded on a tropical island with your boss is less "vacation" and more "unfolding nightmare." McAdams delivers a powerhouse performance that reminds us why she’s one of the best in the game—bringing grit, humor, and survival instincts to a situation that would make Wilson pop a seam.

Is there anything Sam Raimi can’t do? The man is a cinematic chameleon. On Thursday, we celebrate a director who can seamlessly pivot from:

The slapstick gore of Evil Dead 2 🩸

The cold, calculated tension of A Simple Plan ❄️

The blockbuster heights of Spider-Man 🕸️

The sheer, terrifying fun of Drag Me To Hell 🐐

With Send Help, Raimi proves once again that he is the master of blending genres, keeping you on the edge of your seat while throwing in that signature cheeky wink.

⚠️ TRAVEL ADVISORY
Arrive early as space is limited, and the vibes will be high. You don’t want to miss this one—word around the Cove is that this has already secured a spot in Adam’s Top 5 Favorite Movies of 2026 so far!

Grab a shell or a tea, find a seat, and let’s get stranded. 🥥🎥

Darlings, prepare to strike a pose!

This Thursday, at 8pm, Kava Cove turns into the hottest fashion event in town. With the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada finally hitting theaters this weekend, we’re hosting an exclusive pre-game retrospective. Before you head to the cinema, you simply must revisit the masterpiece that started it all.

We’re screening THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, the only film that perfectly captures the agony and the ecstasy of trying to survive a high-fashion editorial office.

Witness the legendary Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, the icy Editor-in-Chief of Runway magazine. It is a masterclass in passive-aggressive perfection—and let’s be honest, it’s a thinly veiled tribute to a certain bob-cut editor of a world-famous fashion icon. Not satisfied with simply chewing the scenery, she consumes it in a single gulp, while firing off insulting barbs without blinking an eye.

Let's keep it real and address the elephant in the room: Nate. Because nothing screams "I don't support your career aspirations" quite like being a total wet blanket during your partner's life-changing professional breakthrough. Seriously, Nate—it’s a job at Runway, not a war crime.

Strut your way down to the Kava Cove runway this Thursday. We’ll have the shells and teas ready, the vibes high, and the commentary sharp enough to cut glass.

This Thursday, April 23rd, at 8pm, Kava Cove is hosting a night of unadulterated, celluloid filth to honor the 80th birthday of the man who taught us that good taste is the enemy of creativity.

He's known as Pope of Trash (as labeled by William S. Burroughs) The Prince of Puke. The Sultan of Sleaze. We are celebrating the 80th birthday of our patron saint of the deviant and filth elder, the one and only John Waters.

Grab your kava and teas and prepare to get dirty with this triple-feature of absolute high end cinematic trash.

Up first,
Serial Mom (1994)
We’re kicking things off with a suburban nightmare that proves domestic bliss is just a sharp object away from disaster. Kathleen Turner gives the greatest performance of her career (don’t @ us, fight us) as the soccer mom who really, really hates bad manners.

Cry-Baby (1990)
Next, we’re indulging in a rockabilly fever dream where the "Drapes" and the "Squares" face off in a musical riot. It’s 1950s delinquency at its most stylish, featuring Johnny Depp as a bad boy who can weep on command and a cast of characters that could only come from the warped mind of Waters.

Female Trouble (1974)
We are closing the night with the holy grail of camp: Female Trouble. Follow the rise of Dawn Davenport, a woman who realizes that if she can’t be a star, she’ll settle for being a notorious criminal. It’s glorious, it’s garish, and it’s mandatory viewing for anyone who believes that crime (and glamour) really does pay.

Join us this Thursday at Kava Cove. It’s going to be a beautiful, hideous mess, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Stay Filthy,
Adam W. Kelley & The Kava Cove Crew

This Thursday, April 16th, at 8pm get ready for a visual feast that breaks the mold. We are shifting gears for a uniquely different kind of movie night, curated by our very own regulars, Nic & Karina. Expect a departure from the usual as we dive into a world of bold colors, intricate textures, and surreal storytelling that offers a completely different experience than our typical screenings.

🦊 The Lineup 🐕

Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs
Set in a dystopian future Japan, a young boy searches for his lost dog on a trash-filled island after all canines are exiled due to a "canine flu."

"I picked Isle of Dogs for its visual appeal with balanced symmetry and most importantly, for its dark yet feel-good plot—this movie night is for all the pet parents!" — Karina

Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox
An urbane fox cannot resist returning to his farm-raiding ways, putting his family and community in the crosshairs of three mean-spirited farmers.

"Fantastic Mr. Fox blends family values, dark/witty humor and charming visuals making it one of my favorite comfort movies. Plus I love how it plays into the old stereotype that foxes steal—Swiper no Swiping to the next level!" — Nic

Fantastic Planet (La Planète sauvage)
A surreal, psychedelic masterpiece depicting a far-off world where tiny human-like creatures are kept as pets by giant blue aliens.

This isn't just a "cartoon night." From the meticulous stop-motion symmetry of Wes Anderson to the hand-drawn, otherworldly surrealism of Fantastic Planet, this triple feature is designed to be bright, fun, and vibrant.

Whether you're here for the "comfort movie" vibes or the avant-garde visuals, this curated selection promises a night of cinema that is as thought-provoking as it is beautiful.
