The SpookEasy Lounge, owned and operated Kat and Evan Traver, is the most haunted kratom and kava bar in the city.
Seriously, this place is like Vincent Price's party room - a perfect temporary lair for all manner of the darkly inclined. The article is accurate, but I've included additional pics of their current location since they better capture how goth af this place really is:
Their potions are excellent, plus they're happy to make mods to the concoctions. And I can confirm, per the bartender I chatted with last weekend, they are indeed moving - they're just waiting on the usual bureaucratic red tape. This is excellent since their current space is so tiny. According to my source, the new space is 10 times bigger, has balconies, will be able to stay open super late (5 am or so), & is just a block from The Castle, so it'll be an easy stroll from one to the other - even while completely hammered.
With these two powerhouse dark sanctuaries right next to each other, Tampa will officially be the goth epicenter of Florida. Perhaps it's time for Convergence to swing back through Ybor City?
