    KodaStar Entertainment takes over Gaias Kava Root with a Y2K rave format, which means expect low-rise aesthetics, early-2000s club sounds, and probably a lot of frosted eyeshadow. Gaias is a kava bar by nature, so the crowd tends to run looser and friendlier than a standard nightclub, which either sounds great to you or it...
