The Spot Smoke Shop and Kava Bar

The Spot Smoke Shop and Kava Bar in Kenneth City, Florida is one of those places people talk about the moment they walk out. Part smoke shop, part lounge, it's earned a reputation as one of the highest-rated spots of its kind around, and once you spend an hour here it's easy to see why. The word around town is that this is more than a shop, it's somewhere you settle in for a while. On the shelves you'll find a solid smoke shop selection: vapes and disposables (locals point you toward the Geek Bar and Raz), e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, hookah and shisha, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, kratom, CBD and hemp products, and all the accessories to go with them.

Prices come up again and again as fair, and the variety runs deep enough that people driving over from Clearwater and St. Pete say the trip is worth it. Then there's the kava bar side, which is really the heart of the place. Regulars rave about the kava cocktails made mixology style, the kratom teas, and seltzers on tap.

There's a pool table, food and drinks, good internet for anyone working remotely, and an outdoor hookah patio. Ask anyone who hangs out here and they'll mention the clean, homey feel and the sitting area made for lounging. Noah is known to take music requests, and folks have called it the best lounge in the area. The staff is what seals it.

Owner Kevin sets the tone, and the crew, Isaac (whom Kevin calls "superman"), Tommy, Tom, Hailey, Alex, and Corey, get named over and over for being friendly, genuinely knowledgeable, and quick to help you find what you need. One regular summed it up simply: it's a place where you feel like family. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Kenneth City with a real community vibe, The Spot delivers.
