Nice staff and area to get hookah! You can bring your own food so that was a plus! I ordered some food from Marcelino's across the street.

The Gummy Worm ( red gummy bear, cherry, and grenadine flavoring)

We had such a great time last night celebrating my best friends birthday. He had never been to Hookava before. He loved it and had a blast throughout the whole thing! The DJ was so awesome and was playing some very nostalgic mixes that brought back great memories. We've had so many amazing flavor combinations of Sheesha from Hookava, but we had to go with Gummy Worm this time. It has always been a favorite, and it's a good first introduction to Hookah for those who haven't tried it yet. Another favorite flavor is Blueberry Muffin, and also Spiced Chai by Fumari. Also I highly suggest getting an ice tip for a more smooth and cooling sensation while smoking. Every Tuesday is free ice tip day, otherwise $5 regularly which, is still very worth it. The incredibly fun and unique staff have always been phenomenal in so many ways. They are wicked fast in everything they do, and deeply knowledgeable in giving recommendations for flavor combos and drinks. Definitely my number one for Hookah in Reno. Go any time, It is both fun and relaxing

Female server was great! Vibes are good with all the lighting. Can't say the same about the guy sitting at the bar, he tried to charge us $200 because we asked to sit upstairs.. not the best attitude either.

I've been wanting to come here for years, and finally made it after the UNR football game (we actually won a game!) to celebrate. I've always said this space is amazing and the location is one of a kind. We were quickly greeted by the hostess once we arrived and she got us seated and comfortable before our server showed up. There are lot's of different Hooka options. I haven't enjoyed Hooka in a longtime so many of these options were new to me. We opted for the tobacco free option so as to enjoy the experience without any negative side effects. Our server was friendly and attentive, helping us get it started and checking in frequently to make sure it was burning smoothly. My only slightly negative gripe is the alcohol selection is lacking and expensive. Canned beer at a premium price always stings a bit. I would definitely go back, was great for a fun date night out and a relaxing experience to enjoy downtown.

I have been coming to Hookâva for 4-5 years and it has always been amazing! Over the years they have continued to improve in every way, from their drinks, their hookah, the customer service, the ambiance, they always have something going on such as DJ's, trivia, holiday themed drinks for local crawls. I truly couldn't reccomend this place more.

Good selection of hookah and drinks. Came with a group of 4, service was good and quick. There is a pool table upstairs which I really enjoyed playing with friends.

Ask the Community - Hookava

Do you serve kava here?

No we unfortunately do not because of the negative affects of mixing kava with alcohol.

Are you cigar friendly?

Unfortunately, we are not cigar friendly due to the odors trapping in our furniture.

No one can come in for hookah that's under 21?

Yes, unfortunately we had to change our policy to match federal law.

Do you have paan rass flavour?

Unfortunately, at this moment we do not but have added to our menu! We will be looking to add paan to our menu in the future.

Do not come here because they take away your IDs based on their assumptions and make you call…read moresheriffs department to verify it. At the end, you won't get an apology and you get embarrassed in front of whole casino. Inexperienced workers, who call themselves securities, act like they are officers but in reality they probably never got to work with police department so they just harass innocent people. That is their highlight of the night, thinking they found someone with a fake id. Luckily, actual officers were fast and pleasant to work with.

The entrance is cool looking, except the fact that they had 10 security guards standing outside it. This did not help me feel safer, if anything I questioned even going in, but my brother in-law insisted we go in since Peek was too pricey for bottle service. So here we go... On Saturdays, they charge an entrance fee of $20 for guys and girls are free. Once you walk in, you can feel how small this place is. Immediately to the left you will find the only bar in the club. Directly in front of you they have maybe 5 "VIP" tables and a couple go-go dancing stages. Behind that is the DJ booth. This place is nothing special. I probably would not return for a second visit, merely because it smells like vomit, the DJ sucks and transitioning between songs and the vibe just isn't there for me. You just can't go from playing ratchet rap music, to a slow country song...no, no, no, no, no. Who does that? I would have to say, spend the extra $20-50 dollars to go to Peek, that place at least looks like and feels like a club ready to party.

My favorite place to get a cocktail in Reno…read more They have a unique "Old Fashioned" with buffalo trace bourbon, moroccan sugar, coconut, tobacco bitters, dehydrated pineapple. It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5

Sam was our bartender, he was very welcoming and immediately made us feel at home. I have enjoyed libations at some of the best bars around the country and Chapel Tavern did not disappoint.

He made our first night in Reno a memorable experience and we will definitely be visiting Chapel Tavern every time we are back in Reno. Cheers

We visited The Chapel Tavern in Midtown Reno and it was genuinely one of the best experiences ever…read more The bartender was fantastic and made the visit memorable by creating custom drinks based on our alcohol preferences which was such a fun and personal touch. We had two very different tastes (vodka and tequila) and she nailed both drinks perfectly. The bar felt clean, welcoming and comfortable even with its edgy vibe. I also loved the tarot cards they provide! I think they may have been intended as coasters (lol) but I kept mine as a souvenir and now use it as my bookmark. It's become one of my favorite little keepsakes. Location and parking: it's on a main strip right on the corner with a small parking lot but there's also accessible street parking in the neighborhood. I highly recommend it and will definitely return anytime I'm in Reno
