    Always the place to get Kratom and Food. Literally best vibes, best staff, amazing owners. Always a pleasure to introduce friends to this spot. It's Literally the best low-key place in Miami. If you want to go to the best kept secret of healthy living and having a fun social time, with a sober buzz(don't know how to explain how you are coherent, but feel like you have a buzz).

    Wow! Absolutely loved this local kava bar. It’s a sweet hole in the wall style spot with a rich kava, cozy vibes & excellent service. Our server was attentive, kind, and so helpful with the menu! It’s a great stop for a refreshing drink in Wynwood. Loved that there was AC running. Definitely go for the double kava - having just one will make you want more!

    Their green tea on tap, a smoke sesh In the back with good music is the way to go ……often I’ll come by myself, especially since the back area was complete. The wooden deck and benches with plants make it ideal to chill and vibe. There’s some cover and shade so even on a hot humid day its a big help. I recommend their Green tea on tap as is. Unfortunately it will temporarily run out time to time so get it while it’s available. 10/10

    I used to go to their old location which was chill but nothing compared to the place they are now! Super cool bar/event place. Also I’ve been to a few kava bars and their kratom can taste pretty average but at syndicate it tastes delicious I think the brown sugar really adds another layer of flavor. Also the bartenders are extremely nice. I visit every time I’m in town!

    Spent a week in Miami and found myself and boyfriend coming here 3 days in a row! It’s super fun that it’s connected to savage labs, so you can kava/Kratom and party without going too far. Met folks from different walks of life here- highly recommend!

    due to covid/ spring breakers most of the streets were closed due to curfew. But the ones i did get to see were amazing. love the different buildings and drawings really reminds me of home which is New York. hopefully Miami can re open up and i can enjoy going from street to street to look at the art

    There were distinct differences in the drinks. Their atmosphere was so pleasant that you could enjoy staying with your mates. The bar where we went last week was fantastic. Thank you for the wonderful wine, bartender!

    First time at the place, loved it. Small but cozy! It has a club/restaurant next to it, cool house music the day I went (Sunday night). I had a house Kava (Vanuatu), which was pretty strong and a House kratom tea, with the red, tasty and refreshing. Service by Dasha was top! Explained everything about their drinks and had a nice chatter. Will definitely come back!

    When I first found syndicate, it was a unique spot. They had video games and an area where you could lounge and eat and chill. It’s gone downhill ever since then. This last time I went, despite going often, I was chased down the street by their cashier who thought I was shoplifting. I had told him to ring me up for two teas and a bag of chips I intended to give to a homeless man. The kavatenders used to be really sweet and kind but not much luck lately. Honestly I only go for the BOGO deal it’s just whack now. Not welcoming at all.

    Had never heard of Kava however since we were waiting to watch a show next door in savage labs my wife ordered a Kava drink. Shortly after she had a complimentary champagne in savage labs and started feeling drowsy, nauseous, and was getting sweats and chills. She ended up vomiting several time while we were there and didn’t get to really enjoy the show much. Not sure if it had something to do with the kava, but after googling it, it says not to mix with alcohol. We could be wrong and maybe it was just a coincidence but if not then I wish they would have warned us of the possible side effects. AGAIN we don’t know if it was the kava or not. Aside from that, great vibes and service. Savage labs was awesome as well.

    Very underwhelming experience when I came here. The staff was arrogant and unwelcoming. Definitely not what you look for in a kava bar. Sad management.

    Best drinks in town. But if you get on the owners bad side, watch out. She rolled her eyes at me. I got proof for a refund - they didn’t comply. They complained about me to my face and made me cry. Want good drinks? Go there. Bartenders are wonderful. Owners are extremely disrespectful and hurtful. Update: her response is exactly what I mean. I was waiting for that. I filed a claim thinking it was a two for one deal. It was not in. That was my mistake. She made me pay $75 from the claim to serve me. I paid the $75, but it was also taken out of my bank. So they owe me $75. Never seen an owner of a restaurant in my life treat a customer so poorly. One that drives an hour and a half to get there. This just proves my point. Perhaps you should take a class on customer service. Your drinks are the best though. Congratulations on that. Have never been asked to leave the restaurant. Just buy you that one time unless I paid the $75 that was being investigated by chase. I’ve spent over thousands of dollars there. You can belittle me, threaten me, but your response says it all.

    I live in the neighborhood. Every time I walk my dog past this place there are other dogs inside that are aggressive and bark excessively. Their customers always park on the street in a no parking area which makes it impossible for people turning off 25th St. to see oncoming traffic. I don’t know who’s managing this place but they need to be a better neighbor for the people that actually live in the neighborhood.

    Lovely space and the staff were super nice. I had a red kratom flavored with lychee and it was super good. Would recommend to anyone who likes kava and kratom and is in wynwood.

    My friends and I all tried the Kava and Kratom here. All of us were puking profusely throughout the entire night. We didn’t have anything else with it, so it was certainly the Kava and Kratom here that caused us to feel so terrible. This has never happened to us at any other kava bar. Definitely not worth the high price just to puke it all out within an hour or two. Edit: we all ate just fine before, thanks for blaming us instead of taking accountability. Four people, who aren’t new to kava, all throwing up for hours after one drink of kava from your establishment isn’t just some coincidence.

    Great for latenight hangout. Regarding food, the cheese is a little greasy and not so easy on the stomach, but the ambiance is great. Sometimes the DJs play a little too loudly, but the inviting open floor plan and chic bar setup make up for it.

  • 5/5 & C. 10 months ago on Google
    Kava? Kratom? Vibes? Yes! Tucked away in wyndwood syndicate is a really great spot. Menu is full of delicious drinks and some boutique Japanese snacks. Joyci is welcoming and knowledgeable as to her expertise and experiences. We will be back ASAP & Co.

  • 5/5 Eric S. 6 months ago on Google
    Great spot. Excellent kratom teas and a very nice staff and vibe. Had a house tea, sour and the taste was the best I’ve tried. Fateh was very helpful in explaining the product and recommended exactly what I was looking for.

  • 5/5 Jeanpaul L. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is an oasis of serenity and relaxed atmosphere. The first time I went I was impressed by the chill vibes and the friendly service. As a medical student I’ve found that this is one of the few places in Miami where I can study (or just relax) and feel at home. It’s always not too crowded, not too empty, but just right. The staff are super welcoming as are the humble owners, they are always open to striking up a conversation with their fellow neighbors and guests and they go above and beyond in offering weekly events like yoga and open mic nights, even comedy nights! I love the dichotomy between going there during the day -vs- at night as both times provide a different type of chill vibe where you can mingle with like minded people. Regardless of what time I go I always have a good laugh and/or just a friendly conversation. The decor is superb and I’m grateful to have an oasis like this in my city, so I’m merely writing this as a way to say thank you.

    *Response to Owner* I appreciate the reply and points of clarification. As for the to-go fee, if that’s your mission statement that’s great, but I was never given the option by the staff even when I opened a tab and it was clear I was staying... Why have they never offered me glassware if the goal is to reduce waste? Additionally, I was a server for 4 years which is why the 20% is all the more nonsense to me. I understand staff are providing a service, but that is what you pay them to do. Anything additional should be at the discretion of the patron, not an additional fee imposed by the owner. I know this can be standard in Miami, but it doesn’t make it right. Also, my go-to’s were Island Vibes and Miami Kava prior to their closure, neither of which charged a 20% service fee. I’ll leave it at that.. I totally respect that business is business, but there’s a certain point where the lines between standard operating procedure, and price-gauging customers, become blurred which can turn patrons away. Original review: Syndicate is located inside Savage Labs in Wynwood. The vibes are cool, especially the in the exterior alleyway on the side and rear of Savage Labs which has seating with lots of plantlife. The kava bar itself though is extremely small with practically zero seating. The kratom they serve is pretty solid, but the biggest gripe I have with Syndicate are their exorbitant prices. It doesn't just end with the baseline menu costs... If you want to add flavor? Two dollars. Need your order in to-go cups? They charge for that. Want the Gold strain? Another $2. Then to cap it all off, they charge a 20% gratuity on every tab which is outrageous for a kava bar. In the end, you're paying upwards of $40-$50 for only two small 8/10 ounce kratom drinks. Kratom should not cost this much. This is a decent spot but comes off as a tourist trap and not a reliable place for locals to go; unfortunately though, it's the only place for locals to go.

    No more chill kava bar😭 this place more like a downtown club now oh well good while it lasted and still good for a pick up kratom👍

    The kava bartender is one of the coolest people I've ever interacted with. Very low-key and comfortable spot, surprisingly expansive.

    First time visiting Miami, was walking around Wynwood and stumbled upon here. Great vibes, great quick service. Outside type dining makes for a lot of flys to be around, so be aware of that. I had the Triple Double sandwich and Ahi Tuna Tostadas. Pretty good.

  • 5/5 nancy S. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this spot! Super authentic, make sure you try their Kratom shots! so fire their kava and Kratom teas are also super tasty!

  • 5/5 Kylissa J. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a nice little kava bar I come from a place called the chill room in west palm beach and I know kava pretty well. I had the solomon kava strain and it was pretty strong. I was greeted warmly and this stop was just what I needed on my art delivery to Miami... Great kava Friendly people Good cozy atmosphere.

  • 5/5 solomiya s. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is sooo cute. Probably one of my favorite lounges I've ever been to. The owner is super nice too. Drinks aren't too strong but that's a kava bar for u lol

  • 4/5 Mandy N. 2 years ago on Google
    Their plant based hot dogs are amazing and regular hotdogs are subpar. Good taste and quality and plenty of options for every type of tastebuds!! They also have great beer selection. Service is fast but the lines can be long during peak hours.

  • 5/5 Dale F. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is so wild! I came all the way here from Utah to see what Florida is all about, this turned out to be the only place I wanted to chill the whole time. The atmosphere it’s so relaxing and fast pace all at once. The staff is wild as hell and super helpful helping me choose what to drink (get the Gold) Give it a try because it’s the friendliest place I found in this heat stroke state.
