Amazing hookah lounge!…read more Came here to relax and was seriously impressed. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, perfect for hanging out with friends or unwinding after a long day. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us pick the perfect flavor mix -- it was smooth, flavorful, and lasted a long time without getting harsh. Drinks were great, music was on point, and everything felt clean and well-organized. You can tell they really care about quality and customer experience here. Definitely one of the best hookah spots I've been to -- will 100% come back and recommend to friends!

The service was okay, it could've been better. The restaurant is a perfect place to catch up with friends over a bite or a sweet treat. They have lots of drink choices but I believe they are non alcoholic for the most part, but the mocktails are very good. TRY THE TURKISH ICE CREAM!

Be…read moremindful because it can be ghetto so if you are looking for something bougie, this is not the place. There's often fights inside or near Myst. Giving it 3 stars because the bathrooms are DISGUSTING. There's only 2 unisex bathrooms and they are often clogged up. If it isn't clogged up, there's no toilet paper or it's just trashed. Sometimes the door lock is broken too and won't lock properly. They have been doing some renovations to their furniture but not the bathroom. It's so gross. The specialty drinks are really good. Especially when the bartender Chase is there. My favorite is the Pink Lagoon. It'll sneak up on you because it is made with tequila. It's like an alcoholic pink drink with the coconut cream, guava and pineapple. Pricy with drinks averaging $15-20 and they have an automatic 18% surcharge on weekends (that is not tip). Food is great. Some of the best wings downtown. The lamb chops are really good too. I wouldn't get the wagyu sliders. It wasn't good. It tasted like an average slider advertised to be fancier since it's "Wagyu". I've had better sliders elsewhere for much cheaper. Save your $30. Parking here is horrible because it's in the heart of gaslamp. Horton plaza parking is probably your best bet if you can't find street parking.

The decor is gorgeous, and the entire layout of the restaurant feels luxurious and high-end. The food was delicious, and the hookah was such a nice touch to enjoy the evening while having quality conversations with friends. The only thing to keep in mind is that they don't serve alcohol. Aside from that, this place is beautiful. The food is presented really well, and everything we ordered was full of rich flavor. The hookah starts at $40 and up, and it's definitely worth it for the experience. I'd definitely come back. In the website it says they close at 10 PM but we were told they usually remain open until around 1:00 or 1:30 AM, depending on when the last customers are finished.

-- 10 STARS. PERIOD…read more Just pulled up to Pushkin Bar & Hookah Lounge in Gaslamp Downtown San Diego... and let me tell you -- this place hit me straight in the nostalgia and the luxury receptors at the same time. I first visited this spot 12+ years ago when I was living in the San Diego area. Back then it was basically the holy temple of traditional Russian & Ukrainian cuisine -- the one and only in downtown SD. Very authentic, very -approved. That cute fancy borsch was literally to die for. And yes... you happily paid big $$$ because authentic Russian grandma cuisine is not supposed to be cheap -- it's a cultural investment Fast forward to today -- I walk in and BOOM They transformed the whole concept into a super chill house hookah lounge + fancy executive bar vibe... yet somehow still managed to keep those legendary Russian gem dishes on the menu. That's what I call strategic evolution. And wait -- plot twist -- they added a full-scale sushi menu. From pelmeni to premium rolls... this place is now basically a geopolitical peace treaty on a plate. If you're Russian from the hood -- you simply MUST pull up. Order the $30 pelmeni dumplings (mandatory ritual). Top them with black caviar if you're feeling oligarch-level fancy -- I mean why not, live once What they've done here is honestly genius: They took old-school grandma recipes... put them in a luxury outfit... added hookah lounge energy... sprinkled executive bar aesthetics... and created a serious relaxation & dining destination. Perfect spot to unwind, talk business, vibe out, or just pretend you're important -- works every time. Huge respect and special thanks to Julia -- the host & bar boss. Top-tier service, warm energy, yet still operating in full professional boss mode. Love to see it. Also respect to the main boss himself -- and yes, go check his stand-up comedy next door. Let's be honest... he might actually be the only funny performer in the whole joint But hey -- quality over quantity. If you've never been -- you absolutely must go. Authenticity + reinvention + vibes = rare combo Amen

So the next time we got a reservation. We showed up and the sign in the window says open. The reservation was confirmed. Lo and behold, the door is locked. Why in the world did you confirm my reservation? Just to make sure we were not crazy, we checked the hours and sure enough it's 6 pm to 1 am. Our reservation was at 7:15 pm. What am I missing? My mind is boggled... fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. I guess it's on me. Never again.

One of the boys kept hounding people to skip the line for an extra $20. The line to get in was the longest wait and I had to leave to use the bathroom so my group saved my spot only for the security to kick me out of line for joining my group back in line. Its not worth the price to get in, the music was terrible, and the wait to get in was not worth it. There are way better clubs than this for FREE so save yourself the disappointment.
