Wana Navu Kava Bar

This place has become my home away from home. Introduced me to a whole new family I didn’t realize I needed. We’re in the Fayetteville area because my husband is military so finding a place to hangout at and feel safe means so much. If your looking for good vibes great people plus amazing drinks this is your place. The owners casey and Chloe are some of the best people I’ve met. They have built a wonderful community here. The kavatenders miri and Kailey are knowledgeable and very welcoming. Thank you for giving us a safe place to be ourselves and enjoy time together.

Wana Navu has quickly become our favorite spot to unwind over the past year or so. The atmosphere is so cozy, with awesome music, movies playing, and classic arcade games to hang out around. It completely lacks that messy 'bar mode' energy, which makes a huge difference. My husband and I both love coming here, and we completely trust each other to frequent it alone because the community and crowd are just that respectful and welcoming. ​Everyone here is consistently friendly and accommodating—especially the owner, Casey, who once offered to carry my to-go drinks to the car for me when my toddler fell asleep in my arms. Whether you’re stopping in with a well-behaved pup or a toddler having a rough moment, they make you feel right at home. It’s just a genuine, safe, and comfortable place to be.

I have been a frequent customer at Wana Navu for about two years, and from the very beginning, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable. Most of my visits are on my own, although I occasionally bring my children with me. The owners and staff have always treated both my children and me—and their other customers—like family. The atmosphere at both bars is laid-back, comfortable, and welcoming to people from all walks of life. That is one of the things I appreciate most about Wana Navu. There’s a genuine sense of community, and everyone is made to feel like they belong. The owners truly look out for their customers and have zero tolerance for harassment or unacceptable behavior. Whether the place is packed or I’m the last one to leave, I always feel comfortable, respected, and safe. If this place was anything less than, I would not go as frequently as I do, or recommend it to other people.

I love Wana!!!! The draft is my favorite to sip on. I’ll come here to relax and draw, the owners make me feel so safe and they are so welcoming!!! I’ve been a regular for years and I’ve always felt so comfortable as a female by myself.

my fiancé and i come here about once a week and we're absolutely in love with the place. the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and there's often live music or fun events. the owners are hospitable and friendly and the drinks definitely get the job done. i'm absolutely obsessed with the acai kratom draft! they dont always have it in, and when they do its a real treat. the kava bar is a safe space for me where i can express myself and talk to people free of judgement. they recently collaborated with sanford pride and it was awesome to see them there! i'm so thankful that they opened their location in sanford because the wana navu kava bar is genuinely one of my favorite spots in sanford.
