Why Pompano Beach Residents Make the Drive

Pompano Beach has its own coastal nightlife scene, but dedicated kava bars are not part of it. Pompano residents who have discovered kava lounges tend to make PoorHouse Kava a destination trip, often combining it with dinner in downtown Fort Lauderdale or an evening out along Las Olas Boulevard. The late-night hours — open until 2 AM, seven days a week — mean there is no rush even if you are driving from north Broward.

PoorHouse sits inside the original Poor House dive bar, a Fort Lauderdale institution with live music most nights. The vibe transitions from calm botanical lounge in the afternoon to full dive-bar energy after 10 PM. Pompano Beach visitors frequently mention the live music lineup as a draw — bands rotate through jazz, rock, blues, indie, punk, and karaoke nights.

What to Order on Your First Visit

If you are making the trip from Pompano Beach for the first time, start with a traditional kava shell — available in 3oz ($3), 7oz ($6), or 16oz ($13) — to experience the real thing. From there, the K-Tea menu lets you build custom drinks with juice or milk bases, flavor shots, and functional boosts. PoorHouse also ships gallon orders to Pompano Beach so you do not have to drive every time.
