FORT MYERS, Fla., Oct. 06, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Ohana Kava Bar, the Colorado Springs brand that helped build American kava bar culture, has opened its first franchise location in Fort Myers. The alcohol-free bar, which was opened on July 31, 2026, is now run by its owner, Sarka Hetherington, and her fiancé, Estevon Rivera. The bar is located at 2215 Winkler Ave, Suite H, Fort Myers, FL 33901. It opens at 7:30 a.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. weekends, and closes at midnight Sunday through Thursday and 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday. The bar can be reached at (239) 204-9141, and followers can stay updated on events by following @ohanakavabarftmyers on Facebook and Instagram.
The bar serves high-quality noble kava, with every shell they pour being of the highest quality. Hetherington emphasizes that many people have tried kava before but did not enjoy it, often due to subpar quality.
The bar, which serves kava straight and in a room designed for relaxation, is minutes away from Gulf Coast Medical Center and HealthPark, allowing it to cater to both patients and staff. The 7:30 a.m. opening and late closing hours cater to both morning and night shifts, making it a convenient spot for those who need a quiet place to unwind.
Ohana Kava Bar Fort Myers is a continuation of the Ohana Kava Bar brand, founded in 2015 in Colorado Springs. The brand has grown into a staple in the city, with two company-owned locations in downtown Colorado Springs and one franchise in Fort Myers. The brand's success has led to the development of a franchise program, which began in 2025. The program is selective, vetting each potential franchisee to ensure they share the same values and vision as the founders.
The bar's menu is known for its quality, with botanical teas being particularly praised for their excellence in the area. The bar's commitment to quality extends to every aspect of its menu, ensuring that customers can enjoy a full and satisfying experience.
