    Gaia's Door Girls are turning the front of this Central Ave kava bar into a full elote operation for an afternoon, with Coco's Clothing Swap rolling in racks and Bruja Beauty LLC doing looks alongside. This kind of low-key popup lives and dies by turnout, and Gaia's has a genuinely loyal UNM-adjacent crowd that tends...

    Gaia's Kava Root kicks off UNM Welcome Week with a jersey party, the kind of night that draws every freshman who just moved into the dorms and every upperclassman who never misses an excuse. The kava bar format means the drink situation is different from your standard bar crawl stop, which is either a selling...

    Gaia's Kava Root is running a no-strings clothing swap the Sunday before the school year picks up, with drop-offs accepted at the shop all week prior so you don't have to show up hauling a bag. The elote bar is run by Izzy, the door girl, who's raising money for nursing school, and that detail...

    An after-hours electronic night billed as 'Afters With The Cave,' with Kai Radius and Daddy Dan holding down the late shift at Lunas Kava Root on Central. Kava bars run on their own clock, so the 9 PM time listed here is a placeholder pulled from the source and should be confirmed through the ticket...

    Bow Wow's 2005 roller-rink classic gets the full treatment at Gaia's kava bar on Central: disco balls, supplied popcorn and pizza, and a room that trends genuinely cozy on weeknights. Kava is the only thing in the glass here, which makes this a solid Thursday for anyone who wants the social energy without the bar...

    This is a post-dawn wind-down hosted by NM Rave Cave at one of the corridor's more interesting rooms, a kava bar that handles late-night energy better than most venues with a liquor license. Luna Kava's setup lends itself to exactly this kind of low-lit, still-moving crowd, so expect the vibe to lean more communal than...

    Crzy plays Gaia's Kava Root on September 20th, one of the more low-key rooms on this stretch of Central where the kava bar format tends to keep the crowd genuinely attentive rather than just present. Details beyond the date are thin, so checking the Instagram link before you go is worth the thirty seconds.
