718 Hookah Lounge & Grill is one of my favs to come chill out, listen to latest music, and vibe out with the drinks, food, and hookah. The crowd is very energized dancing and sing with music. Food: the wings lemon pepper well done so good, the fried calamari crisp, the sliders cooked well. For the mains we had the honey glazed salmon with mash potato and the Philly cheese steak. The food is plenty and very filling to stratification. The food comes out freshly prepared and hot. Service: The service is very fast pace, with attentiveness to our needs. The service of the food is quick and cooked well. Ambiance: the location is in Forrest Hills main strip. The place is lounge with music, chilled with a flare of color. The lights are dimmed setting with couples seating and group. My overall score 4.9/5.0 very good bar and lounge for a nice chill or weekend outtin read more

My classmates and I came her after our evening classes to wind down. Which we did! We ordered a hookah, some drinks and some small bites like the Sliders. The ambiance was amazing as we saw other nursing students (we were in our scrubs teeheehee) as well as an alumni who took the time to talk to us and wish us well. We had a great night and will definitely be back after class :-) read more

I'm asking my favorite hookah spots. It is expensive but you'll for sure. Have a good time from good music to great hookah and good drinks. I've never had their food, but I'm sure it's probably good. I love the pineapple head hookah and I also like the ice hole hookah. The drinks are always good as well and I always have good customer service when I go it does get packed sometimes but at least you know it is a good vibe. That's like my go to spot whenever I wanna have good hookah and good music, but it is a little pricey, but it's worth it read more

My go to hookah spot in Forest Hills. Great music, good hookah. Fast services. Typical bar food menu, I'm usually coming from or going to dinner so I've never eaten here. Late night it gets pretty busy, usually a line. Time limit for tables. read more

Popped in before an appt nearby to grab a happy hour drink. Sat at the bar and the service was nice/quick. The deals were pretty good for the area and there are a few different options, which I appreciated. I wouldn't necessarily seek it out as a happy hour bar (unless you wanted the hookah) but if you're in the area with time to kill I think it's a fine option. read more

Cozy environment with the feeling that you can be the best at anything you do Every single person is friendly

This place has always been good to me,they play good music,make good drinks,good food.the hookah is good & they have happy hour everyday

Had a great time, arrived a little late around 12:30-1am after prior engagements but it was a good time!.The dj was ahhmaze , kept the vybe going for the remainder of the time that we were there...didn't give a 5 star due to the kitchen closing so early. We arrived with enough time to order but with waiting to be seated(which wasn't long) and the hostess coming back to us for us then having to move (per our request) to a larger seating area to accommodate all of us , it was 1am and the kitchen closed at 12:45:(.. I will certainly return!. read more

No complaints about this restaurant. Had their hookah which was good. Guy can by and refilled the coal without having to ask which was great. Margaritas are good; both frozen and on the rocks. They will sneak up on you. They have classic flavor but also strawberry, passion fruit, and a few other flavors. The wings were good. They also play a mixture of music. Would come back again. read more

Be mindful of the auto-gratuity. The staff will try to con you into double tipping by presenting a card reader that asks for a tip. It's already included on the paper receipt, and no effort is made to verbally communicate this. This was the case for 3 visits, each with a different server/bartender. Cocktails aren't worth the price. First round is underpoured to encourage a second. Just your standard schemes intended to prey on an ignorant public. Establishment is a major downgrade from pre-pandemic. read more

Great staff, attentive, good food, drinks and hookah. Nice chill space especially after work.

My bestfriend and I stopped by for Hookah after having dinner at Mojo down the street. Before walking in the DJ already had the 90's -00's on point, which made us really want to walk in. We had a love 66 to start bc they had a 90 limit on tables they got watermelon mint & both were smooth a flavorful. Can't remember out servers name but he was really nice and attentive to our needs. Great service and would be my go to spot in forest hills read more

I cannot complain about one thing. First of all , I came here on a Friday afternoon with my sister Janet. We ordered happy hour drinks and hookah. The music, the service & the scenery is all a vibe. Our waiter was super attentive, friendly & nice. For my first time being there , my experience was great. I will definitely be back! read more

Who taught these people how to set up a hookah? Tinfoil? It's gotta be metal so you can break up the coal and get a more even pull. Easy way to get sick, too. And who puts only two small coals? Pretty lame. Also, my girlfriend's lemon drop was practically pure sugar syrup. Who's mixing drinks back there? read more

ROACH!! ROACH!! ROACH!! Where do I start... My friend and I found this place(718 bar and grill) on IG and it looked great so we decided to go for happy hour. We ordered a hookah, mojitos, fries, wings and quesadillas. Our food came out in 5-10 mins and everything was going great until I looked down in my half eaten quesadilla and saw a freaking ROACH!! The roach was fried into the food and I lost my mind. I started throwing up cause I could only imagine if I had only ate it. Then I started to throw up more cause I knew that my food was cooked in the same oil that this ROACH was cooked in. I wanted to cry!!! Actually I did cry! I called our waiter over and he just had this stunned face stating he don't know how this happened and it's never happened before blah blah blah... I was too distraught to listen to anything he had to say. This was absolutely ridiculous, terrifying, and unacceptable. I am appalled and still traumatized!! If I could give it 0 starts I would have. read more

Our server was Emilia and she was extremely sweet! She consistently checked in on us to make sure we were good. I went on a Saturday night and even though it was super packed Emilia still was super attentive to our needs. She tried to get our table right away and checked in with us about our wait time. For a Forrest hills place definitely worth it. Below are the pictures we ordered. Their tequila sunrise is also super delicious, which Emilia made sure we always had our glasses ready. read more

I think I was still hungover on Monday after attending on Saturday lmao. You know one of those times your like I'm only going for a few, but end up partying too hard! Well that was this place! It's such a good vibe even before the dj starts at night. Bartenders are super friendly... she let me double fist before happy hour ended ... oh and happy hour on a Saturday ! Litttt $5 drinks Servers are very nice and so fast and efficient with such a large crowd at night. We never had to search for him. He kept the drinks flowing.. I blame him for my hangover lol. We all ordered Cesar salad .. which might I say was the best Cesar salad I've ever had. My friend had empanadas which she said were amazing. I don't smoke hookah but everyone said it was very good and they were very clean. Only thing I would ask for is a little more music variety from the dj. read more

Let me start off by saying it's a cool casual spot to kick it at to unwind and enjoy good music. I went on a Wednesday night for some drinks and eventually for some Hookah. The place had a few people mingling around here & there. I don't understand why it took the waitress 15 mins to bring drinks. We didn't order anything complicated. Just a regular Long Island with a little bit of ice. The waitress seemed to be more interested in smoking hookah with her friends as opposed to waiting tables. I was getting frustrated with her because she kept passing the table. She redeemed herself though because she gave us a free Long island on the house :) read more

I went to 718 lounge before 7pm to grabbed a seat. Immediately, the waitress asked for my ID. I politely explained I wasn't ordering alcohol and didn't need to be checked. She insisted it's their policy to check everyone. However, I noticed she hadn't checked the two people who just walked in. Inconsistent ID checks are frustrating and can feel discriminatory. read more

This place was amazing. The vibes were amazing! DJ was amazing. Even though it was Friday night and it was busy, the staff was on top of their game. My friend and I need to go back ASAP! read more

I've been coming to this place for numerous years and would suggest it to people that wanted a hookah lounge that was open late. The first time I came no issues and had a phenomenal time. Live DJ crowd was fun, dancing, parting, great vibes. The second time the kitchen closed earlier then promoted due to short staff and the same chef being there all day (mid covid). Still not a major issue they allowed me to uber eats as long as I was discreet. GREAT PLACE RIGHT??? Wrong fast forward to another time I had my cousin from out of town & her friends meet me at 718. Place was packed we brought multiple drinks and two hookahs. I ended up leaving and my cousin and her friends continued at the bar but when they asked for a cup of water they was told they can not have tap water without food. They would have to purchase bottle water or food. Weird right when they have been drinking 3-4 drinks, shots etc. This place is not a club so that is ridiculous after spending over $200 they couldn't get a cup of tap water to get home safe and hydrate? Mind you the place was packed so no place to eat anything if wanted. Major turnoff! Well I said last week like me give them another try . It is new management now fully after covid so these businesses should be more humble and appreciative to their customers. WRONG. It was my cousin and two friends birthday I was taking them out to a night on the town after a Beautiful dinner @ Prime 39. LowKey Lounge was closed so we went to 718. The bouncer was pleasant and friendly but the staff service was terrible! Originally they attempted to seat my party of 4 squished between two other parties when there was multiple seats available. Strike 1. Requested to be moved they did with no issues. The waiter seem nice but hardly ever visited our table. Maybe a long night but Strike 2. My friend asked for a cup of water as we sat at the table. The waiter comes back with 4 bottles of water " This is for you guys" As if he was being nice for our service being bad. We thanked him and thought he was so kind. Until we asked for the check ; in which he charged us for the water. I told him we never asked for bottle water and you never specified a charge. He said " well you drunk it" "Nothing is free so you have to pay"... Cold, rude and obnoxious. No problem I do not argue. Let me speak to the manager. When the manager came over and I explained the situation he confirmed he would take off the water but was condescending and belittling. Cutting me off before I fully explained nodding his head smiling. " It's just water". he smirked when returned the receipt. Strike 3. No problem clearly this is y'all little scheme. Also, examining I said to the manager ok gratuity is included that is why you guys are treating us like this well it is also optionally and I took the gratuity back because I was paying in cash! He was shocked! I walked out with one of my friends because I did not want to be in that establishment anymore but my cousin and my other friend was taking pictures. The manager says you look beautiful but its sad you have go deal with that ( speaking about me) unprofessional and he was mad because I do not tolerate bad customer service anywhere! Then he said your cousin didn't tip and tried to bully them to tip and turned off the light in front of a sign they was taking a picture of themselves. My cousin and friend turned the light back on and took their picture. Very petty and very unprofessional. Will never recommend again! read more

Their customer service was great. Due to covid they were able to attend to my table more often. Their hookah wit the ice on the hose was perfect. I had an appetizer the Mac and cheese bites that was kind of salty. Overall I enjoyed the music and the hookah read more

Came here for drinks on a Saturday night. It was busy and service was pretty good. Hookah isn't my thing, so I can't really comment on the quality of the hookah. The place is rather small, but they did what they could with the space. The dj was playing amazing music and people even began dancing in the hall. When we asked for waters, the sever brought closer water bottles- not even a cup. It was a little strange. I would recommend it if you're into hookah lounges. read more

718 Hookah Lounge & Grill - Inside - Hookah Bars Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

The environment is cool and it's like a little hole in the wall -- if you don't know it's there, you tend to walk and drive right pass it -- the inside of Th establishment is decorated so beautiful but the staff take forever to serve you -- it wasn't that packed, in my opinion, and still, it seemed like each directive took forever-- can we have a hookah -- took forever --- can we have different shape coal --- took forever -- can we have the bill -- took forever ! But again, the environment is awesome ! read more

I always saw this place advertised on instagram so i finally decided to try it out. Small place but nice decor. I went on a Saturday night and it was a good amount of people there but still easy to find a seat immediately. The hookah was really good and the bartender suggested different hookah flavors to us without us even asking. The drinks were soooo good and strong ! I only had two and i was drunk lol the food was sooo good. I only had mozzarella sticks and the chicken kebab but the chicken kabob was so good and seasoned perfectly. The white sauce for the kabob was sooo good i wanted to drink it lol They have really good music & they play all genres. I loved this place but the only reason i ended up leaving after a hour is because it was sooo HOT ! I don't know if they didn't have AC or if it was broken but it made it really uncomfortable to enjoy my drink so i had to leave even though i didn't want to. Everyone in there was fanning themselves even the bartenders. I also think because of the heat that's why it emptied out quickly. But i will definitely be going back anyway. read more

Brought my best friend here for my birthday.. the host and bartender were not the friendliest and if based off of first impressions, we would e left right then and there. However we decided we would stay. The place is a little small but aesthetically it's super cute. Our waiter really turned our night around. He was super nice, I believe ibis name was Gary. Great drinks, great food and there's hookah. Will definitely go back! read more

Place is trash. We called and they said we can come in at 2:00 am arrived and the bouncer wouldn't let us in. As we waited outside for a cab they let a group of people in after refusing us. Bouncer has too much pull and only lets his people in. Really sad they dont want business. Dont expect fair treatment if your trying to have fun late a night. Skip this spot not worth the hassle. read more

My friends and I came here because we had nothing else to do. Little did we know they had a happy hour until 8PM. Good selection to choose from. Monitors, margaritas, sangria for $8 wine for $5. Can't complain. Then it happened. The drinks came out and our eyes lit up because our drinks were a really good size for a happy hour. They were pretty strong too we all had the sangrias as pictured. We ordered a specialty hookah "Party on the beach" which is a Fresh pineapple bowl, combo of tropical flavors, with a sex on the beach cocktail base. That turned out to be pretty strong. Service was cool. We didn't have any food but I saw others eating. Overall it was a good experience despite the hookah not lasting very long, we needed our coal changed a few times. Cool chill spot I recommend it. read more
