Back in the day you'd get an all you can drink wristband for $20 and they had an amazing little hidden nightclub upstairs. It was always a great time. The good ole days can't last forever. Went with a small group on a Friday night to celebrate a birthday. $20 cover for men, $10 cover for women (cash only). Security folks were real cool and we were inside after a short wait in line (maybe 2-3 minutes). Once inside the vibes were chill, the music seems catered to an older 40s+ crowd, but I'm knocking on the door of 40 so that was fine for me. What wasn't fine though is how bad the service is, one of the bartenders must have been on pills or something because she was the slowest I've ever dealt with, I'm talking 5 minutes for her to make 2 simple drinks. She also skipped over my group to help someone who walked up that was her friend. We got our drinks and found a table outside. Spent probably an hour here, the vibes outside were what you expect from most bars like this in Tampa. Very few people dancing or having a good time, most are standing on the wall trying to look cool or scrolling their phones. The DJ wasn't the problem, the crowd was. Food was pretty bad as well. They should just hire some food trucks, the wings were disrespectfully bad.

They say they have 'house/well' liquor.....they actually didn't have liquor at all. It was all wine based. They did have a cocktail menu, but they weren't very knowledgeable outside of that list. The food menu was in Spanish. I'm assuming it was Dominican food. Idk. We googled a lot and what I ordered I thought was gonna have plantain in it. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a bed of fries that looked like it had picadillo, cheese, mayo and ketchup on it. It wasn't bad and the portion was huge. It DID taste better once I took it home and baked it. The 'DJ' was one of the servers. So when a song ended it did stop abruptly until she switched tracks. It was VERY loud. Overall it wasn't bad. Just not what we were expecting at all.

We had dinner nearby and came here for some hookah and Moroccan tea. I love Moroccan mint tea and their tea was pretty good! The hookah was great too. I tried mint flavor. We had the place to ourselves and just relaxed here and talked. The service was very good too. The place is nice, cozy and small. Not too big but it's enough to just chill at any evening. I don't have hookah often but occasionally it's nice to hang out and enjoy it. They have many different flavors of hookah available. I didn't check their menu but just had tea with the hookah. We will return here again once we are back in town. Their mint tea is special because they put real mint in there and you can taste it if you are into that kind of tea! The plaza is not very big either and you can easily miss this place but you should try it if you like hookah. Hookah is fun with friends or family. They use good quality coals so the hookah lasts awhile. The owner lets you play any music you like by connecting with the free Wi-Fi. I think that's a really nice touch to be able to play any music you want! So we ended up playing some Bollywood music while enjoying our hookah. Overall it was a fun experience! Here are some pics of the tea and the place for you to check out next time you are in the area.
