The sweetest old lady runs the place by herself & she makes a great Shisha. We came for the 2 nights we were in Montreal and ordered blueberry mint with a little peach. She doesn't start the Shisha herself so you do have to start it. The Shisha is smooth with great smoke. You do have to use 2 coals as it's a larger head but she gives you extra coals when she delivers it to you. Give this place a try if you're looking for somewhere to relax, study, or spend time with friends!

Tables and couches mostly utilized by students studying and conversing in English, French and Arabic. The husband and wife duo can speak all 3 languages and are very attentive. Quick-light coals are the default but you can pay to upgrade to square coil-heated coals. If you're looking for a relaxing place to sit for a spot of tea and some shisha before going out further, drop by here. Note: no booze but you can bring your own food or buy the snacks they have on hand.

So yes if you are a shisha fan give them a try and let me know how it goes.

The customer service was trash too. Guy didn't know anything and he was so clueless about everything. THERE IS NO ALCOHOL AT THIS PLACE....wtf. Every hookah bar I been to has alcohol or even a bring your own beer policy. These guys couldn't get a liquor license I'm freaking Canada. Oh yeah it's a hookah lounge, the hookah was trash. Worst hookah I ever had. The worst hookah. The only good thing they got going for them is they have chess boards you can play with. But who plays chess at a hookah lounge. Come on man. Get your stuff together. This place basically ruined our trip

When I step into a hookah bar, especially one run by a someone from the Middle East, I expect a much wider selection of shisha. They had a small assortment of Al-Fahker flavors and while good, Al-Fahker is not a strong tobacco, and that's the only brand they carry which I was disappointed in. Note: If you want natural coals, you'll need to ask for them...and I noted that coal service was excellent) The drinks and the food were excellent and the place had a cool vibe to it, but then again it is close to a college, so that was to be expected. It got crowded during our two hour stay and when we left the place was at least half full of people, all enjoying hookah, sipping on drinks (tea, mostly) and enjoying some of the great food that they offer. All in all, a good relaxing place with a cool vibe.

If you are looking for a middle Eastern vibe. This is the place to go…read more We went here for a birthday on Friday night, they have a dj and during the night there was a live singer. The night was pretty entertaining. Dont except them to play any English music or what not. This place only plays Arabic music. This place looks great for birthdays and big groups. I won't suggest to go if you are less then 4 ppl. We thought that this place had hookah but to out dissapointment they only have hookah during the week. This place was still full of people even tho they don't do shisha during the weekend. Bottle service is not too expensive For food it was a fixed price for us maybe because we were a group, we all paid 60$ each and got a few different mezzes, by the time the meat plates came no one was hungry anymore I felt like the price of 60$ was expensive, I was expecting 40$ max. Although we didnt have high expectations from this place, we had such a blast honestly.

After reading mixed reviews everywhere, finally decided to try this place out on a late Saturday…read morenight. Greeted with kind staff, we were accommodated quickly to a table at the back. Ambiance: I have to say, most hookah lounges do not pay much attention to their aesthetics but this establishment has kept it minimal but appealing. They have brown & black leather chairs and marble top tables. The place was filled with clients (both female & males) - this may seem like an odd comment but a lot of hookah lounges seem to attract an older mostly male clientele. My friends and I were very pleased to see a lot of female as we just left another hookah lounge after feeling out of place as it was a sausage fest (excuse my language). The music was on point as well! The hookah it self came with variety of flavors. They had a large selection of drinks (alcoholic & non alcoholic). Points for great indoor ventilation which appears to be lacking at most hookah lounges. It would have been great to have food options. A lot of customers seem to be ordering pizza and eat there.

Im reviewing the Bluemist and Peach Mint hookah…read more Bluemist pulled well for 15 minutes. It never had billows of smoke, but enough to see some smoke. The peach mint didnt pull well, meaning no billows of smoke. If you are going to make a hookah, you need to ensure that you are putting out the best product. Also, why would this establishment serve Puck coals rather than cubes. Then again no one in MTL knows how to make a Hookah.

Stogies Cigares Lounge is a good cigar lounge with even better service. For first time visitors and…read moreat night, you might be s little confused as to where it's located. You might observe the sign over the doorway, but that doorway does not lead directly into the cigar lounge. Instead, you walk up the steps from the sidewalk through that doorway, through a part of another establishment, then back to a two flight stairway to the upper floor where the lounge is located and greeted by the bouncer. That is the first clue this is not a cigar lounge one typically expects from the US or elsewhere. Stogies has a club vibe more than a relaxed lounge vibe. It caters and targets a young audience in their 20s and 30s. The music volume is elevated and also targeting a young audience; no jazz, no salsa, no old school R&B. You will have to elevate your voice to match the volume of the music. These qualities detract from the experience one might ordinarily expect and these are the primary reasons Stogies does not score highly with this review. Emma, our server, was the standout and patiently explained things to me. Stogies is the only exclusively cigar oriented establishment in Montreal owing to their laws and regulations. It is among a number of places grandfathered into the license. The others are restaurants where one can smoke in select areas. Stogies is exclusively a cigar lounge and not a restaurant or bar. They have a humidor, but it is not large. They sell Cubans with their own Stogies bands over the original Cuban bands, but those will cost you given the high Canadian tax on tobacco, and how much the Cubans have raised prices recently. You are not charged a cutting fee for bringing your own sticks, which I fortunately had one. However, the liquor pours are paltry and even a double is less than a single in the US. So this is where they will get you; though, everything else is reasonable. The lounges will get you one way or another like taxes. I would recommend coming here during daylight hours and during the weekdays when the music would be toned down and the atmosphere a bit more laid back and conducive to work or conversation. There is a balcony with seating and an awning covering it that looks out onto the street below, where one can sit and enjoy a relaxing smoke as long as it is not too cold. Otherwise, the interior ceiling and ductwork are painted black, contributing to a club decor. The bathrooms are back down those steps for reference and it was my last stop before departure and the Uber to the hotel. My friend forgot her umbrella and Emma caught me downstairs near the front doorway before we left. Emma, if you read this review, thanks for being a great person and host. Management, pay attention. 3.5 stars

We are currently staying at the Hotel Omni Mont-Royal and enjoyed dinner tonight at Alice Bar…read more From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. I started with a glass of the house white wine, which was crisp and refreshing. We also shared the Cobb salad, which was generously portioned and absolutely delicious. For our entrées, I ordered the seafood linguine while hubby had the burger without the bun. The seafood linguine was perfectly prepared, well seasoned, and very satisfying. The portion was so generous that I could barely finish it. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed his burger and said it was excellent. For dessert, I had the crème brûlée, which was rich, creamy, and a wonderful way to end the meal. The service was excellent throughout the evening. Every staff member was professional, welcoming, and attentive. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience.

The parking situation is a little tricky but if you're lucky, you can find street parking and pay via the app! Love the vibes inside including the little retail area where they sell vinyls. There is also a huge disco ball hanging in the middle! The water station is self-serve beside the cashier. Your food will be brought to you on a tray and you can put your tray/plates/utensils away at the end of the meal (at the same shelf where the self-serve water station is). I came for the egg sando and it did not disappoint! It was so yummy. Egg was the perfect consistency. It was pretty filling so it is something that can be shared if you don't have a huge appetite. I ate half and got a box for the other half. Matcha latte wasn't bad either. The only reason I took off one star is because it took us 20 minutes just to get our drinks. When we were finally served our drinks, the server was like "oh, you guys are waiting for food too right?" which makes it seem like our order might've been forgotten..
