This was a last minute decision as I wanted a few drinks before I flew out the next day. It was a week night so it goes without saying that the place was dead. Sat at the bar and ordered a rum and Coke, because they weren't able to make my go to Mule. I ordered on of their steak options and was surprised how good it was for bar fair. The steak was cooked just right and the asparagus had flavor. I was also surprised by the amount of crab meat that was included in the dish. Give this place a shot. Pick your day of the week based on the environment and experience you want. read more

Food was amazing and the atmosphere was incredible. Great hang! There's a large group area you can reserve that looks like it would be fun!

The bartender saved the ratings for this place. If it wasn't for him, the rest of my experience was dismal. I don't drink so the fact that the bartender wasn't miffed that I didn't add much to my friend's bar tab but also graciously kept on filling my glass with club soda and occasionally changing the napkin as coaster, he is a good asset for this place. Other than that, my friend and I arrived at around 10pm and it was empty, one wonders what the hype was all about. The VIP booths weren't that "exclusive" they even seem so uncomfortable. No One was dancing I wished there were more danceable music. Hookah was available, seemed my friend enjoyed her peach hookah. read more

I only come here Thursday night since they have a Latin night. It gets pretty packed so expect it after 11ish. It's in a shopping center so plenty of parking space. They do have some good food and hookah to enjoy the music with if your not dancing. They have other stuff going on during the week which I yet to check it out. They are at least 4 bartenders at a time so you don't wait very long for your drinks. But you don't like it so crowded I'd go earlier since it does fill up. read more

I visited this location a Saturday night with friends during the Summer. We arrived about 9pm and it was super chill. But a few hours later, the crowd was heavy! I loved the atmosphere and the music was great! Definitely a vibe in here! I think it helps being out with great people ... I would highly recommend you check out this place. The food was tasty too. I didn't expect to eat here, but the food was good. I was thinking this is a club atmosphere, but it's definitely more of a lounge. Check them out ;) Have fun and enjoy life :) read more

I love this place last time i went was last year. Still love the food n drinks. The bartender was very cool n the waitress was super sweet. Its a gem. Try it out read more

Thursday nights are Latino night, it's a good vibe. The waitress are really nice and attentive.

Great DJ, Music, Food, Drink, atmosphere. Club Scenes still thrive in this world. Be here after 10;30pm!!

This review is based solely on the food, a 6pm experience and women over 40. This review is not for after 9 pm. I was hesitant to go here but I kept seeing a Groupon. I asked a friend and he said as long as I go before 9 or 10 pm I should be fine. The atmosphere is dark, couches, different lighting, VIP sections.....not a "restaurant" vibe at all. But I absolutely enjoyed looking around. Our bartender, Eddie was awesome!!! Gave us water as soon as we sat down, chatted with us, made recommendations. It was a tough decision for the tapas because they all looked amazing! We decided on the Steak Oscar and Pommes Frites. Both were so good!!! I didn't want to share. :) But the tuna bites or the steak bites sounded awesome too. Southwest Eggrolls, Crab Cakes, Wings and Crab Dip are all options. I was so surprised at the menu. I definitely want to go back. I think it would be fun for a ladies night.....early though. It's kind of fun and different. The vibe is not for everyone though. read more

at first my experience started off okay but then at some point in time the waitresses became very rude , they were barely coming to check on my party , we were served a broken hookah and we were over charged . please be aware they have menus with different pricing !!!! dont make a tab always ask for your card bacl because they might lose it read more

Friday nights are lit here! I stumbled upon this lounge on a Friday night and had so much fun. The interior and ambiance of this place is so luxurious. It gave me princess jasmine vibes with beautiful jewels and canopies hanging from the wall. Even the seats and booths are just so luxurious looking. I'm happy to report that there's plenty of seating here around both bars. Unlike these other so called lounges I've encountered in VB who claim there lounges but only have seating if your willingly to pay VIP prices. Food wise I was told there dish Steak Oscar was half off on Fridays, so you know I had to try it! It was a petite filet mignon with crab on top with some asparagus and I loved it. The male bartender we had was awesome and suggested everything from drinks to hookahs and it was all good! All the bar staff had great attitudes and were fun to be around. It got so jumping after 1030 there were barley any seats left so I suggest arriving early. There was no cover charge, and the crowd and music was mixed so there a little something something for everybody:) read more

Okay so i came back a second time. Service was great hookah was lovely butttttt a roach crawled up on my table. So I left. So then a few months later my friend wanted to come here, I told him about the roach incident. He was like eh, let's still go it was probably a one time thing. Well low and behold, there was another roach on the table again. If you're gonna eat here I think you should know. The vibes were great and so is the hookah but I'm concerned. Wont be back. read more

Maybe we just didn't come on a good night but I don't see what people like so much about this place. On the outside the place looks like it could be upscale but once you get inside it's pretty underwhelming. My friends and I came on a Saturday night. We were supposed to be in VIP but that was a joke... their VIP consisted of a small booth near the bathroom in a dark back room where everyone was smoking cigarettes and black and milds and when you got up people would move on to take your place. It was crowded, barely any room to dance, and I was very put off by the random girl dancing on the large table in the middle of the bar. It seems unsanitary that people were placing their food and drinks on a surface where someone later came to dance on. Didn't try the food there and I wouldn't after seeing the food delivery window not to mention its right next to the bathroom. read more

The food is amazing. However the DJ is hit or miss. Spent $$$ on a booth and he was play old songs almost all night. He wasn't reading the crowd. The ladies wanted to dance and the dj was lame. read more

Had a great experience, the manager made sure our event was on point, from beginning to the end. The staff made sure every member in the party was well taken care of. read more

last night was the worst experience!! first they gave my friend a birthday drink with someone else's gum in it which they "compensated" for. Then we paid $500 for a section and they didn't even give us a free bottle of liquor but ended up having to anyway after the gum in the drink. They gave my friend a bottle of champagne. Every food item we ordered was nasty. the crab dip was too spicy and barely had any crab in it. we ordered crab cakes and they ended up being 4 little crab balls. the Cajun and tomato angel hair pasta with steak added wasn't good either. the steak was tough. All in all the food was too "expensive" for the quality of the taste. The lemon drops barely had any liquor in them so we had to order shots to put in them. They told us our final bill was different amounts 3 separate times because they kept sending 2 different girls to our section. definitely won't be going back read more

This was an awesome place to lounge. We went on the weekday so it was empty and the vibe was still nice and chill. The bartender took care of us and the drink was amazing. Although the orders were wrong ... the food was good. I would suggest the calamari be fried just a little bit more, I would come back on the weekend. read more

Every time I come here is a good time...Shout out to the manger/owner Billy!! The customer service is much appreciated!! read more

Central 111 - Hookah Bars Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Everytime I've come here I've had a great time!My boyfriend and I arrived around 9p on a Friday evening. Almost all the tabes aside from the three large table were occupied. We got the last regular table near the entrance. It quickly started to fill up. Music was great and at the beginning they played the corresponding music videos which I LOVED. My bf and I had two orders of the lamb bites, they were to DIE for. They were perfectly cooked and juicy with a delicious sauce. Our drinks were also really good! We also order hookah(mint and peach) definitely will get it again. Im not sure at what time the transition happened but eventually they started playing really vulgar videos on all the televisions. Im talking bare breasts and women in thongs and skimpy underwear throwing their butts and crotches toward the screen. Very offputting. The place has a very classy feel and a mixed crowed as far as ages ,gender ,and races. It's not a gentleman's club.....They also have a dancer who dances on the main table top. Very entertaining, nothing too crazy. I really wish they'd just continues playing the music videos instead .....We had several drinks so we soon forgot all about the soft core porn on the TV. Our bill was over $300 and the waitress added gratuity even though there was only the two of us??? That's nvr happened before. Not sure what that was about but it was a little of an annoyance as we'd prepared to tip in cash. Despite the vulgar videos and gratuity being added for a party of two ,we had a very good time. We will definitely be returning! read more

it's truly a hidden Gem. I went for the first time and it was the perfect vibe. not crazy crowded, constantly being checked on by staff, is nothing like the pictures posted (thank heavens lol). this has become our every week/ weekend little get away read more

Ok. I came on a Sunday night. I can see now that this was a mistake. I was telling my sister (the birthday girl) all about how they played solid music, people were salsa dancing the one time I've come before and it's a really chill vibe. I also warned that that the apps are priced above average, no big deal, we're gonna have a great time. 1. WHY did y'all let Danny work this night by himself? Again, I AM AWARE it is SUNDAY. But Danny did not need to be so thinly stretched between his guests. He did his thing but we were concerned for him the whole time. Yes, our party of 8 walked in without a reservation and as an average American who has served before, I just wish he didn't have to serve my party and the rest of the establishment alone. 2. The bathroom was not terrible but the toilet was. I couldn't possibly expect Danny to handle this; the business hadn't been open long enough to it to look like that anyway. 3. The food was great. No complaints this time or during my previous experience. Solid tapas. 4. This place played Michael Jackson's We Are the World TWICE. Not just once to slow the party down Yelpers; but TWICE IN SUCCESSION. We felt like we were being dismissed. After asking Danny about requests and DJ attendance, we understood that he couldn't help us musically if he wanted to. 5. My third star is for Danny (again ) bringing us a bottle of champagne. That's it. My squad literally looked at me and said "they know you're writing a review" . Perhaps. My points did not change. In conclusion the ambiance and crowd are safe, secure and fun. Please check it out on a Friday or Saturday night. However as a manager of operations it's alarmingly obvious how this establishment could do better for itself. Have fun y'all! read more

I cannot express how disgusting this entire place is. One of the bartenders, I believe his name is Luke or Lucas, was hitting on me the entire night, giving me free drinks all night to get my attention. I then tried to politely tell I'm not interested and then proceeded to give me the worst service taking forever to make my drinks and give me my receipt. Also, everything in this place is broken. The tip of their hookah nozzles are all broken, there barstool could catch them a lawsuit. This place is just disgusting and now I know what kind of people they hire at this establishment. Bartenders are supposed to make you feel safe from these situations and deescalate as necessary, but he can't do that if it's himself right..... read more

This club is very racist! Food was terrible and drinks were watered down. I sat at the bar for 30mins waiting to order and everyone was getting their drinks ( causation). My sister polity asked them if we could order because people who came up here after me are getting to order before me! He proceeded to ignore her so she tried again and started to cuss her out! This was my first and LAST time here and I don't suggest you to go! read more

Blonde waitress lost my credit card last night when I opened a tab. When I asked for my card back she told me that I did not open a tab and even after my friends told her that they seen me hand her my card she still said that I didn't give her a card. THAT IS CARELESS AND YOU DONT PLAY WITH PEOPLE'S HARD EARNED MONEY LIKE THAT. Had I did what I wanted to do I would have knocked all those drinks over at the bar. Thank God I have other cards or I would have been without funds. read more

My family and I went to this club from out of town and the Manager at the bar in the hookah lounge told my husband that he won't serve him anymore. When I went to ask what happen to the bartender he got upset, told me "your husband didn't tip me so I won't serve you guys. I can deny service if I want to. I have more people that will tip and I won't serve you guys. I have money to make so " then I say "well okay, that's fine but you don't have to be rude. You can go and continue to make your money, our conversation is done." He didn't like that so he brushed passed me hard and spill my drink on me. Told security that he wants me out and that I need to leave now. Also I didn't even get to drink my drink at all. We paid 40 to get in just to be told to leave due to his attitude. The whole situation was blown out of proportion. Tips are not mandatory it's earn due to customer service. I hope nobody else gets treated like this. He should be fired by he general manager. read more

Great service drinks and food. Music is on point too. Over all experience is consistently great every time

Probably would've had a better time if we went on the weekend but me and a few friends stopped by to have cocktails and hookah. Hookah burned out in in like 15 min tops which was disappointing. The cocktails were decent and we got to try a new shot which was good. I'd give it another try if we were around for longer read more

It's a swingers club... Went there for a Halloween party last night not knowing. Quickly both the girls and the guys I was with got hit on! It was still a fun club and doesn't attract the criminal element which is nice! Apparently Thursday night is the big swingers night so if that's your thing, or you don't have money go there people will buy you drinks! read more

Central 111 - Hookah!! - Hookah Bars Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

(My mini story- skip this paragraph if you want the real review.) I was driving along Rt 264 towards virginia beach to watch the fireworks. 0.5 mi. before my exit was to arrive, the ETA per GPS went from 11 min to 34 min and i began to see shiny taillights of cars backing up. I mmediately veered my car to the right ( after cheking my side view mirror ofcourse) , and took the first exit i could find before i could get trapped back in that mess! i love fireworks, but not so much. Anyhow, longstory short, i called up a few friends, yelped a hookah bar, prayed for the best and rolled into here. I gotta say, i was taken aback. Vibe: So, this place looks like a normal tapas bar on outside, nothing fancy. it has its own private lot and is immediately adjacent to Venue 112, which is also a kinda fun bar. (Side note- yelp has Venue 112 listed as the hookah bar- which is NOT. Central 111 is.) Anyhow, It has two rooms- ones a dance floor/bar , and the room in the back was a smoking room- with the hookah and also served food and alcohol. It has a classy/trashy feel to it. It was kinda odd- the inside was pink/purple with beads all over- classy part. Trashy part- their had tv's around the minibar which kept playing this music video with people masturbating - on repeat! Im not sure what vibe they were trying to evoke, but it was definitely a conversation starter. More important stuff- Hoookah- They serve al fakheer(15$) and starbuzz(18$) ( 2 of my favorite brands). My problem was with the hookah itself- i dont think it was set up right- too many coals made it harsh and we had to keep adjusting it. Also, our hoses were not pulling properly, so she had to change them. Im an amateur, but my hookah at home comes out ten times better with less complications. The premium hookah ( stabuzz flavors) come with a mini appetizer platter- which is genius because we did end up ordering food because of it. But the food was GREAT. I have never had a better falafel, ever. Oh, we also got a cheese platter- it came with 3 type of cheese + apples, strawberries, crackers, YUM! Prices- pricey. We had just been to venue 112 earlier where drinks were 5-7$. here, drinks started at 9, which is expensive and therefore i didn't get any. Blue moon was 5$ ( at venue 112 it was 3$) Extra hose was 2$ per person. ADD ICE to bowl was 2$ ( which is not on their menu and server did not tell me!). Service- was awesome. Our server nina was great. She came by often to check up on us and to chit chat. Next time you go, ask for her to be your server. Shes sweet:) My suggested plan as a smarter consumer- go to venue 112, drink it up first, then go to venue 112, smoke it up, then back to venue 112 and dance the night down. The end. read more

Central 111 - hookah lounge playing the masturbation video on repeat that i had mentioned! - Hookah Bars Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I've only been to this place as a night club. It can be a fun place to hang out but definitely consider the sleaze factor. Generally, it's not my kind of place. Fun: There's always a crowd, even on weeknights when most other places are dead. Swanky atmosphere (not necessarily to match the crowd). It's easy to get a drink, and they have great martinis. SLEAZY: No one really dances, I mean a few drunk and horny people may be grinding by the end of the night, but if you love to dance there are better clubs for that. The club hires girls in thongs to dance on the bar and on your table...if you call taking a couple steps and rocking side to side a few degrees dancing. Pretty much a meat market unless you bring your own crowd. read more

Central 111 - Hookah Bars Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I can't speak to the nightclub part of any of this, since I came in pretty early, but their tapas and eclectic environment was very pleasant. The service was friendly and fast. The food was pretty good. The only down point was that the drinks were so good, but strong. So I know we had a great time and I feel bad for the uber driver that had to drive our butts back home. BUT! I do remember we had a great time. I plan on returning. read more

I'm giving one star for the drinks, one star for service (the waitress only), and one star for the live ass DJ Rob Bass! Had a South Beach drink, was tasty and had a nice kick! Our waitress was very polite; a real sweetheart! But that DJ though... He played everything I wanted to hear and stuff that I loved from back in the day!!! He's only there on Thursday night so that's my designated night to go because any other night I'm just not willing to try it out! But the shisha is expensive as hell, $20 for Al-Fakher and $25 for Starbuzz. The coals burn the shisha super fast which means you're only going to have a good smoke experience for about 20 minutes (that's $1 per minute in case you were wondering). The drinks are good but expensive, over-iced, and overpriced. The waitress though very sweet went missing for like 15 minutes at a time, at one point I was waiting for the 15 minutes for a hookah tip. Finally asked the rude ass bartender with the long black hair because I had no choice, I'd only had 5 minutes of smoke time left and needed to make the most of it! Oh yea the seats are dirty as hell and falling to pieces, we were one step above sitting on the floor but hey, at least there were chairs right?! But as expensive as things are they need to take some of that money and put it back in the business, SERIOUSLY! My friends want to go back, I'm totally down (I'm no party pooper) although there were crappy things to complain about; that DJ was this places saving grace! read more

Central 111 - For ONE hookah fuck this shit! - Hookah Bars Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Central 111 is really inconsistent with the service. Sometimes it's AMAZING and sometimes it SUCKS. The staff turnover is clearly high because there is always different people. Now, the staff only caterers to you if you go there a lot, otherwise they don't really care that much. But! In regards to food: delicious 9 times out of 10. Tuesday is the best day to go because you can get Buy one get one free tapas. They are small portions so you are gonna want to order two things. The steak oscar, buffalo shrimp, crab dip, and chicken 111 are my favorite. So yes, I'm going to keep coming for the food, service could use some work though. read more

Four stars (a good rating from me) because the bouncer let my friend and I in when he saw that our birthdays were the same as his. I didn't know my friend had the same birthday as me so it was pretty random. We all found out we had the same birthday at the same time--when does that happen? Like never. Anyway, the interior was pretty nice. I think there were chandeliers and there was 2 different rooms that had completely different themes. I like when places put lots of effort in how it looks inside, especially with regard to lighting. It's sort of small inside, but it wasn't too crowded. The flow of the crowd seemed efficient. We had a round of drinks and set out to a great pizza joint (Brothers Pizza) 30 seconds walk away. read more

This is a great place to relax and have a good time. They have great happy hour deals, even on the weekends! The hookah and food was delicious! The service was overall great as well. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. If you're staying oceanside, it's worth the 10-15 minute drive for good hookah and food. There is a nice vibe with a variety of music playing. When I was there, music videos were playing on the TVs, along with basketball games. I will definitely be coming back! read more

First and foremost, this is a hookah bar. Don't make the mistake that we did and go for the food. Although we did not try the hookah it looked very fun and perfectly decorated for that scene. The food was simply awful. The calamari was inedible due to its texture and rancid fish flavor. The worst calamari we have ever had. The fries were well seasoned with rosemary and a season salt. Not crispy but, still flavorful. We tried the Hawaiian and south of the the border sliders. The Hawaiian didn't have ham on it, it has something that resembled a cafeteria lunch meat. The meat in both burgers was the cheapest meat possible and it tasted that way. Overall, terrible food experience. The waiter was nice but on his phone and we couldn't get his attention. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more
