Overall, I will only go for Hookah if I was in the area it's not really my scene but if you're looking for a really good hookah this place has it.

If you know your way around Charlotte nightlife, then you know Babylon is the go-to place at 2 am…read morewhen everything closes. I'll explain. Babylon is a hookah lounge and does not serve any alcohol. It is however, open until 4 am. So everyone comes to Babylon when clubs/bars close. For this reason, it gets PACKED after 1 am or so. Dont get me wrong, the venue in itself is pretty large. The hookahs are actually pretty good and there is usually plenty of parking here. The DJ is for the most part always good, playing top 40 hits, Hip Hop, Trap, Dembow, Bachata, Reggae, Reggaeton. People will absolutely be dancing here. Now, things to keep in mind: 1. This is not a classy venue. You are sure to run into drunken folks every weekend. It gets VERY crowded. This place is not for the "bougie" or "fancy" folks. If you're not into rowdiness, this isn't the place for you. 2. NO ALCOHOL is sold here. Just water/cold beverages. 3. Keep an open mind, this place is perfect for the group of friends who isn't ready to call it a night at 2 am. So drink the last of your drinks at whatever bar or club you're at and head to Babylon to dance all the drinks out of your system. Dress code isn't a big deal, whether you're in your sexiest club dress or jeans and a top, what matters is the vibes you bring in here.

Kind of stashed in a shady strip mall, but I didn't let it bother me going in, and I'm glad I didn't. Very spacious inside, and has a huge wall tv to watch the WC (Mexico won this night).

We were able to see our favorite server/bartender and that was nice. He made our drinks just the way we remembered... nice and strong...lol. Everything was good until 10pm when the "Club" party began. We were told that we would need to go to the bar for our hookah and drink needs. That ordeal was horrible for the rest of the night. We did not get tended to for our coal refill and repacking needs, even after going to the front several times. The guy kept saying he will come and we watched him go everywhere else each time. We waited way too long. The 1 line for drinks being made by 1 server took extremely long. Although the music was great bring played by the live dj, it did not take away the frustration. No one should have to chase for service that the establishment is known for. No one should have to wait on a extremely long line just to receive a drink at a hookah lounge. This is not a club by any means. Even if you have an event, the establishment should plan much better for the crowd by make it a more efficient and effective experience. The transition was horrible.

Since one of my favorite hookah lounges closed I resorted to coming here. I will first start by…read moresaying the hookah is decent and a decent price. They have great flavors and have more than one option for the head of the hookah. The service is 1 out of 10 for me. They do not check on their customers. the ambiance is very lackluster. Especially with two new men who both wear glasses who are there most of the time now they are very rude and I'm not sure if they are related to the owners and that's why they act like they don't care. either way they are not pleasant people. One thing I also would like to point out is that this spot will never open up when it says online. You will be waiting outside for a VERY long time until they open. If I was running this establishment I would be try my best to turn this around. Having ppl wait outside and leave because it is not open at the time it says on line is completely asinine and embarassing as a business owner. I was going to reccomend this place to a friend who does reviews on lounges and restaurants in charlotte. But that would not be favorable to this establishment.

Ambiance was great and DJ was vibes but the ladies at the front and the security were horrendous. (…read morepictured here).

Once you get in line, the bouncer checks your ID and one of the young ladies brings you over to your table.

The venue is small and located in the plaza near the laundromat. Got there around 1:15 to a mostly venue just to be told all the tables/booths were "booked" but we sit at the bar and buy $20 Champagne bottles . There was no brunch menu, only what they offered on their menu. Then some drunk bar tender tells us we can sit anywhere only to be asked to get up later because they were booked. Very Ghetto! Sorry but it was ‍ Very unorganized, over crowded the patio was the best part. Won't go back.

They offer hookah and food throughout the night. I ordered a hookah and was pleased with it. I also ordered some wings and fries. Their lemon pepper wings were definitely strong on the seasoning and their Vossi dry rub was pretty good. Staffing was a little weird. We felt ignored to some extent and had to hunt down someone for orders after watching them checking almost everyone around us. I wouldn't mind checking them out again, especially on a night that is busier.

I have literally been coming to Crave for over 15 years. I was a fan then and I'm still a fan now…read more I have a serious sweet tooth so I love that this dessert bar offers a variety of sweets for different pallets from the drinks to the cheesecakes and the cakes, I can always find something that I like. On this particular visit, I sat on the patio, which I had never done before, but it was nice and quiet and very relaxing on a Sunday evening. I ordered the cheesecake and it was garnished with caramel popcorn, which added a nice touch to look at, but the popcorn was stale so I don't really think it was necessary, but it did make the plate look pretty. The cheesecake was delicious. Couldn't finish it all, but I took it home and finished it the next day. Our server was great. She was very attentive, friendly, and gave good suggestions. Love Crave and I'll again and again.

But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.

Place was basically empty, surprisingly. Only a handful of people inside. We were able to sit in one of the sectional couch areas and immediately were greeted and orders taken by the staff. Friendly and quick service. The music was good also; majority R&B. Decent vibes here to come listen to music and have some drinks. We just ordered shots since we were checking out other places for the night; bar/lounge hopping. Not too much to say really about their drinks since I didn't get a cocktail or mixed drink. Def would've like to had seen what the vibes are like when there's more people inside, so I'll be back again. I'd say overall an 8/10. After a bit we went ahead and left; weren't planning to stay long anyways and also with the emptiness of the room, started to get a little too chill/boring.

I had to physically get up and fill it up in the server station myself - pretty sure the server forgot to put in my order because it took a super long time to come out - food tasted decent but the sushi roll refused to stay together and every piece fell apart (not sure if anyone cares about this but I've never had such a poorly structured roll) - I was pretty much ignored the entire time and when it came to paying, that's when the server decided to stick around. To see if I was going to tip! - The interior is gorgeous and I enjoyed eating outside Definitely the kind of place you shouldn't seek out; go here if it's convenient (like me)
