    Pan hookah
    Manika N.

    We went again yesterday and the owner Yosuf was very accomodating this time. He was also very polite and let us choose the spot that fit best for us since we were a bigger group (9 people). He also helped with flavor suggestions ! And the new hookahs are all pretty smooth. Would definitely recommed this place if you're looking to hang out and chit chat since the music isn't very loud which me and my friends love about this place the most ( besides their amazin pan hookah ofcourse!)

    Best server

    We came here for my husband's birthday, and we were so surprised with the hookah. We smoke hookah every night at home and are very picky. We were really surprised by the flavors, the hookah was hitting clouds. I definitely recommend the mango lassi flavor. The service was a 10 out of 10, the server took care of us and checked in and made sure hookah and drinks were flowing.

    Best hookah hands down - extremely flavorful yet smooth. Awesome owner. Super chill vibes. Look no further when you're in the Bay Area.

    Russian flavor hookah.

    Best hookah flavors that ever tried. Try their Russian flavor. They are quick with the orders.

    New hookahs

    Best hookah lounge in Bay Area. This lounge is 35 miles away from me but i still come here at least 3 times a week for their hookahs, they have verity of good flavors that you can't find anywhere else.

    The best hookah in San Jose! Great place to go with friends. They can make a really strong hookah for you. A lot of flavours and staff is amazing! I Recommend

I think traditionally, you need reservations for Cielo, but their Winter Experience (ran through December and mid-January) is first-come, first-served. The Winter Experience is a Christmas-themed set-up - very tastefully and beautifully decorated - with Christmas music (even 2 weeks after the New Year). the tables along the edge have small in-table fire pits AND a tall heated furnace - you will not be cold in December. these tables do require a minimum spend of $50 per person, which we came into this expecting that regardless - however, it sounds like you can sit at any of the other tables without this minimum spend, though you will only have a blanket for warmth. the sunset was beautiful, though keep in mind that we do live in a city, and there are other tall buildings around, so don't set your expectations too high. Overall, we are so happy we finally checked this place out, and that we were able to do so during the Winter Experience. We did find it overpriced (considering it's at Hotel Valencia... we weren't surprised) for what you get. I tried one cocktail (~$20) that tasted like a flavored soda, before switching to wine; my husband had 2 Old Fashioned, they were both made differently but both good. The food was good - small, shareable portions. We're happy to have finally stopped in, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come again. HOW TO GET THERE: enter Hotel Valencia from the ground floor; take the elevator to Floor 3; go straight down the hall, pass the front desk on your left, to the second set of elevators; take that to the top floor

    Cielo at Hotel Valencia in Santana Row had a winter-wonderland-style setup that was definitely…read morecute, but overall the experience felt underwhelming. When compared to the APRÈS VILLAGE experience at the Four Seasons, it doesn't come close. The food menu is very limited, and food took quite a while to come out. There's also no option to make reservations, which was disappointing and made the experience feel less organized. That said, it's aesthetically pleasing enough for a few social media photos. Beyond that, it's nothing to make a big fuss over, and I can't say I'd go out of my way to return.

The cocktail menu is inspired by records, and you can feel the creativity in every sip. These aren't your standard bar pours -- they're clearly thought out and crafted with personality. If you're someone who appreciates a drink with a story behind it, you'll be in your element here. The live DJ on weekends takes the whole experience to another level. The music isn't background noise -- it's part of the atmosphere, and it hits right. What makes this place truly special is that you're getting two completely different vibes under one roof. Walk into Still OG up front and you get a casual, laid-back energy -- easy conversation, good company, no pretension. Then slip into the speakeasy in the back and the whole mood shifts. Alter Ego is a proper intimate lounge with their full bar, and it feels like a world away from the street outside. The transition between the two spaces is surprisingly seamless and genuinely fun to experience. And they're open late, which puts them in a rare category of places actually worth staying out for. Whether you're there for a chill night out or a proper evening, this place delivers both without making you choose.

We stepped away so the area could be cleaned, which we did by going to the restroom. When we returned, they gave our booth to two other men, and we were simply told that they just sat there without any acknowledgment that the table had already been requested, but somehow the staff couldn't find a way to tell them that that booth was already reserved for us. As a result, we were seated in another Patrons section, despite wanting a more private booth for conversation. Shortly afterward, another booth became available, but once again we were required to wait for it to be cleaned. There were two female staff members working that evening. I have visited hookah lounges across multiple states and have never experienced this level of unprofessionalism or such delays in table turnover. And to top it all off their hookah cubes were poor quality.....While the venue had a good crowd, the service remained consistently poor throughout our visit.
