They rose to my challenge of a random hookah flavor and offered to change it for free if it wasn't perfect but it was great. The pull was just right, too, and long lasting. They offered me wings and fries when I asked if they had food. I have legit never had wings this good. Crisp skin but the meat fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. They were a bit too hot for me until the fries arrived to balance them out. Guys, the fries were crisp on the outside but buttery on the inside like cookies made on a stone plate. 10/10, will always recommend. On a bougie note, their furniture is just as comfy as it is stylish. Sit anywhere, become one with the chair.ヘ(￣￣ヘ) let's go!

I must say I'm so elated we chose this location. As soon as we entered the vibe inside makes you feel like you're at home... in addition to immediately, being greeted. Lava Lounge has very attentive staff. Lava has open Wi-Fi and management allows you to pair your Bluetooth to their speakers to listen to music. Mr. Cali assisted us the entire time we were there and is very worthy of his five star best in class customer service.

Pretty outrageously priced - hear me out…read more Hookah lounges sometimes charge covers for entering which in cincinnati isn't unreasonable if you put the cover towards any purchases, basically turning it into a minimum. Charging a 60$ cover and then not having any of it count towards purchases isn't a great business plan. It creates for a one and done atmosphere - we stayed the one time because a group of us gathered but I doubt we will ever come back.

Perfect chill spot. Decor updated and cool! Lots of flavors. I enjoyed my tea with cardamum!read more

The hookah and the food is fine. No issues there…read more My main issues is the atmosphere, service and pricing. I'll start with the atmosphere. Most nights it feels like it's trying to be a nightclub with its insanely loud music and lighting. Others are that special room at restaurants for people's birthdays. To me it's insane that regular customers or just people coming in for the first time are met with someone at the door requiring they pay an entrance fee. There's a bar next door for that kinda thing. The service here is very hit and miss. Whether it's the fact that you see online it opens at 4pm but you get there at 5 and you can't enter because that's when they choose to mop the floors... or you get there around 11 at night and no one waits on you until you go and get them and even then they take their time to get you a hookah or coals or whatever. Finally the pricing is maddening. I'll attach a picture for the pricing which is also just in the pictures for this place but anyways. My first time going here was on a Sunday night. I got a regular bowl(nothing fancy) and then I got a refill of the same thing. Total was around 30. Pretty standard for most places. The next night I went was on a Wednesday night. I was made to pay 10 at the door for someone's bday party and I had to Venmo them instead of the normal way you pay at the end of the night(super sketch). At the end of that night I only had 1 bowl(nothing fancy again) and the price was 37 making that a total of 47.... The third night I went was a Sunday night. Like my first time going I was assuming that maybe it was a fluke for that Wednesday and maybe Sundays were better??? Anyways I only got one bowl again(same) and I had a cover at the door also of 15 for whatever reason... my bill for that 1 hookah on that night was 48 dollars... so a total of 63 dollars for one hookah. Not to mention they look at you and expect tip. Which is insane to me. The reasons I wrote what I wrote are to warn any newcomers. It's definitely a turn off to get taken advantage of at a place you want to come and either relax or enjoy yourself. You should have specific things you do as an establishment and not veer from it. Pricing should stay what it says in the menu and there definitely shouldn't be some stranger at the door getting grinded on asking you to pay a fee just for wanting to sit down. I will be posting this on google also because my experiences have been insane here. All three of my visits happened within two weeks. So anyone saying that prices change over time. Sorry but that's a bust. The main reason I still put two stars was because the food, drinks and hookah are great. Just everything else is wrong.

I recently came for brunch and let me say this was the most flavorful brunch I've encountered since…read moremoving to Cincinnati. I mean I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. When we first arrived we were greeted our front with samplers of the breakfast sandwich. So yummy. We were then seated at a large table, where we had made reservations in advance! The mimosas are only $3 during brunch! So I lost count as to how many the table enjoyed! And you can also do other flavors besides orange juice. And of course other alcohol is always an option. Everyone at the table ordered different things. All were great. However the portion sizes aren't huge. Which I liked because I hate the feeling of being stuffed, but others wanted more. I personally had the red velvet chicken and waffles. The chicken was SO GOOD. Whatever you decide to order go ahead and get a side of wings. as far as the waffle it was good but the strawberries made it a little soggy so next time I'll get that on the side. I also heard others mention the catfish and the shrimp and grits were tasty. Also shoutout to our server for taking such great care of us! For a group of 14 that slowly trickled in over the course of an hour she handled all of our orders like a pro! After the meal we went outside and enjoyed the swings and some more drinks on the patio. It was comfortable and fun!

I was excited to see this venue change ownership because it's a great location but had become…read moresomewhat stale. The new owners have really livened up the place and changed the vibe. The outdoor patio is well decorated and offers a beach bar type of vibe with swings and a sandpit. Inside there are 2 bars, making service pretty fast, but there were a couple of small glitches, like my tab not transferring from one bar to the next and the frozen drinks not being ready. There's also a pool table and ample dance floor. Lots of tv's inside and out would make this a great place to take in the latest sporting event. The food menu is pretty comprehensive and my food was really good, salmon croquette sliders and loaded waffle fries. The service was EXCELLENT! Bartending staff was wonderful as was the food staff. I could definitely see making this place a regular hang out and its proximity to the Levee makes it a nice place to close the night.
