I've come in the past like 3-4 years ago but now I live close by so I'm back again. They have happy hour hookah on Tuesday through Thursday from open (2 pm) until 6 pm complete with a buy one get one free drink. I usually go smoke in Virginia on the weekends but during the week I'm in this area. They have amazing crepes which I always get too. I highly recommend this place if you're in the Bethesda area read more

One of the few cafes open until 2 am. The Nutella strawberry crepe was ordered at 1 am and arrived to my door around 1:15 am (priority style). I love the presentation when I opened the to-go container. The crepe was shaped into a triangular piece filled with nutella and strawberry pieces. The Nutella reminded me of the Costco nutella that you could scoop out and eat straight from the jar. I love the taste of the crepe (mainly due to the nutella). However, the texture of the crepe seemed like it was too crunchy or it was a stale crepe. It didn't seem fresh but rather premade and just filled. There were too many layers of dough and it tasted heavier than the delicate feel of what I prefer my crepes to be. read more

Good hookah. Fast service. This is a place where you are not allowed to bring alcohol and they don't serve alcohol either; so please respect the culture and the owner's wishes. read more

Love the place, Hookah session was worth it. They have many different flavors to choose from. The vibe is chill. The host is great and experienced all different options. I definitely recommend Avenue. Music brings good vibes. Must visit to experience. read more

Great place to hang out, and the people who work, they're amazing. Was there this evening, can't ask for a better service, thank you guys as always. read more

The crepes was over cooked they were hard to chew the delivery was bad didn't even know witch one was my bag

Best value late night eats spot. If you need a solid cheesesteak, burger, gyro, wings, fries, for a decent price this is your place. No frills, but it gets the job done. read more

A very nice place in bathesda good for people who enjoy working while smoking high tables and good electricity power supply

The service is top tier. They truly take pride in the hookah. It's not just stuffed in a bowl and left to burn harsh. The staff is knowledgeable and recommend amazing options. I had the White Gummy Bear and Lady killer. It's super smooth paired with the ice hose. Definitely will be back again! Thank you! read more

Steak and cheese is amazing! Super flavorful Great bread and meat flavor is awesome too.

The food is mediocre at best. I've been here many times since it's opening but decided this will be my last. Service is extremely slow and the large onion rings had 4 total onion rings. Very disappointing read more

Great service. Would recommend. Absolutely amazing time, great staff. Had a blast. Completely amazing Turkish coffee and amazing people who run it. read more

If you're looking for relaxed ambiance, hospitality, and some of the smoothest and most delicious hookah in DC, then look no further than Avenue in Bethesda. Highly recommend the White Gummy and LadyKiller combo! read more

Great service and very friendly staff. Was very accommodating. Come here often and will be back.

Listen I get it's not a lot of options late night in the area but I only ordered tenders and my buddy ordered wings both of them was the worst I have ever eaten. The tenders were 90 % bread wings same trash . Sorry but I spent 12 dollars on some garbage. read more

Everything is delicious and the staff are so friendly and make themselves well acquainted. Fast and reliable service every time. Thank you.

We just ordered wings that were burned, over breaded and inedible. Tried to do a spicy wing challenge and we couldn't eat the wings. read more

Smooth Cool Hookah Spot went there early on a early week night. and The crepes were delicious superb and fast service.

I thought the venue was really comfortable and loved the vibe of the place. The hookah flavor they gave us tasted great, music was enjoyable, and the hospitality was amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area that wants somewhere to chill." read more

Nice chill vibe. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Hookah was nice and strong. Got to try their ice hose which was great! It really cooled down the smoke and cut down on the harshness. Also got the Kaloud heat management which made our coals last alot longer. We didn't even need replacement coals. Their prices were also way better than other places in the area. Music was also on point the entire time. read more

I am SO excited that there's finally a hookah spot in downtown Bethesda. My friends were home for the holidays and wanted to have a little get together out somewhere on Christmas Eve and I thought this could be the perfect place to check out. We were a group of 4 girls and the server (wish I caught his name) was attentive and accommodating. He shared many flavor combinations and gave us great recommendations. We shared one hookah between the 4 of us and were all pleased with the service. The interior is sleek, modern, clean and inviting all together. The vibes are just perfect - officially my go to hookah spot. Avenue is what Bethesda needed in terms of nightlife - a nice place to relax and hangout even in the evenings after work. Keep in mind though - there is paid parking all around since the lounge is located in downtown Bethesda. There's a parking garage conveniently right across the street and also metered parking along the side of the street. read more

Eaten here twice in the past few weeks. The service was great: food came out quickly, and owner was very nice. The kofta sandwich was great if you are looking for dinner. If you just want a snack, I recommend the wings. Got the Parmesan garlic once and buffalo the other time, both were solid. Extra pluses are ample covered outdoor seating and late hours (I think it's open until 2am which is very generous for Bethesda) read more

Great place. Unfortunately, we do not have that many places like this in Rockville-Bethesda area. Friendly staff and good quality hookahs.

I came to this place to finish celebrating my birthday last Friday in a group of 4 and ended up being threatened by the worker to the point that he wanted to fight us. All because I needed my friends help unzipping my bodysuit to use the restroom. After I came out of the bathroom I went up to the counter to order hookah and instead the guy got super aggressive with my friend and I telling us it's illegal to have a male and female in the bathroom and he was going to report us to the police. He was extremely aggressive and demeaning towards my friend. He saw me go in to the bathroom and asking for help so I don't know why he didn't say anything then. I tried to explain that I couldn't unzip/zip up the catsuit from the back by myself and he went off and screaming at my friend after I questioned him about this law. While I understand the sensitivity to this, if it were two females, I'm sure it would have been fine. I was in and out of the bathroom quickly, I'm sure there's camera footage, but there was no need to be treated like criminals. My friend was trying to explain the situation but the worker kept trying to square up with him. Like bro, we just wanna smoke hookah and end my birthday on a positive note. It was disgusting behavior and I will never recommend this place. The fact that it was empty on a Friday night with no customers should have been a sign for us not to go in. We ended up going somewhere else that treated us with respect and understood that I needed help with my outfit. read more

Avenue is a great addition to the Bethesda after work/night life. They have managed to make a upscale hookah bar that still has that 'chill' vibe to it. The interior is decorated beautifully with rustic gold and grey accents (not typically seen at a hookah bar). The bathrooms are also very modern and clean! Our server Tim packed great hookahs for my friends and I. We were a group of 6 and shared 3 hookahs between us. All of us are hookah snobs and we all collectively agreed that each one was packed properly. Tim was very attentive and changed our coals periodically or whenever we asked. This place is still new and as much as I would like it to be a hidden gem for my own pleasure, I already know that it will be the place to go on any night. read more

Great hookah and super modern spot!! The location is great as well as the service! I definitely recommend this place if you enjoy smooth/clean hookah and a good time! read more

Great cheese steak and excellent fries. Very nice manger, upgraded my friend and I to the large size for free. Great combo with Fries, Sub, and drink for only $11. 10/10 recommend. read more

Terrible. I ordered a crepe on doordash and when it arrived it was as hard as a stale chip and cold. As if they had pre made the crêpes and just took them out of the fridge. Do not get crepes from here. I lived in Paris for 5 years. This is no where near authentic read more

They were being disrespectful from the moment I walked in, and they weren't even busy and the man working there asked me if i needed anything with an attitude? And then while he was making my food kept glaring at me as I was sitting? And they took forever to my food purposefully, and I heard him tell his coworker "she can wait" mind you no one is in there. And then they got online order and they proceed to make those first? And then I got my order and they were missing some of my order? And the food is gross too, if you're looking for halal food look elsewhere! read more

Wow. The first time ever going, the power went out in the entire block of Bethesda for about 45min. Lol. No, it wasn't their fualt. Lol. Thankfully Zanet was there to keep everyone calm, relaxed and our refills coming. It was kind of a fun and crazy experience. Shortly after the power came back on, we ordered the gyro and fries. I usually don't order food from hookah spots, but I trusted Zanet, and it was INCREDIBLE! Thank you for making our stay pleasurable Zanet, we'll definitely be coming back. read more

I lived in Philly during college, so I know cheesesteaks. This place makes a great cheesesteak. The chicken cheesesteak is very good too. I'm looking forward to also trying the falafel and other items on the menu. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. Cook and staff are very nice and they have free wifi too. read more

Very good place just opened on Del Ray. Got the grilled chicken sub $8.95. Owner Fanny very cool. Open until 2 am with the adjoining hookah bar. If they #push they will do well. Many places do well 12-2am esp. on weekends. read more
