The Sound Library Miami – Kava, Tea & Live Music

A kava and tea lounge on SW 22nd Street that doubles as a live music room, open from morning until 1 or 2 am every day.

Checked October 2026

Worth it if you want a late night out that's built around kava and tea and the music, not a cocktail list. The trade-off: there's no website, menu or show calendar to check ahead, so you go in somewhat blind.

Kava, explained

Kava is the headline here. It's a drink made from the root of a Pacific plant, and people often reach for it as a calmer alternative to a night of cocktails. Tea sits right next to it in the name, so you have an option if you'd rather skip the earthy stuff on a first visit. We don't have a menu or prices to share, so ask at the counter what's pouring and what a first-timer should start with. Go slow until you know how it sits with you.

The music side

Live music is the other half of the name. Google files the room as a lounge, a music venue and an event space all at once. That suggests a place that shifts through the day: an easy tea stop in the morning, something louder after dark. We couldn't confirm a show calendar, so don't plan a night around a specific act without checking first. Still, a perfect 5.0 from about 1,050 Google reviews is hard to argue with. People clearly leave happy.

Hours that run late

Doors open at 10 am every day, which is early for a spot with music in its name. It stays open until 1 am Monday through Thursday and until 2 am Friday through Sunday, so even Sunday is a late night here. The mailing address says Coral Gables, but the place sits on SW 22nd Street, better known as Coral Way, on the Little Havana side. It makes an easy after-dinner stop when you want somewhere to land that isn't a loud bar.

Getting there

1. Look for it on SW 22nd Street (Coral Way), not in downtown Coral Gables, even though the address says Coral Gables.

Good to know

There's no website, so call or check their social pages before a show night to see what's on.
