    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.

    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.

    Is this 18 and up?

    Hi Rosemarie, We are 21+ now as we have a full bar.

They have karaoke on Friday nights and the best part is you actually get a turn to sing unlike West 2nd Street Bar. West 2nd Street Bar is always crawling with drunk 21 year olds screaming at the top of their lungs, and you almost have to bribe the DJ $20 to just be able to sing within the hour. I like the Library so much better because of this reason. The drink prices are not bad either. I love me a good Moscow Mule and the bartender makes them right. The hookah is not bad priced as well. Only $20 and it lasts us for about an hour and half and they are very attentive in making sure its not harsh and the coals are being turned. Overall, a great dive bar for playing pool, testing your voice at karaoke or just wanting to chill to have a drink and play pool. I recommend this place to anyone over 25 looking for great bar spot!

Let's just say, I had to keep reminding myself, "you aren't in Vegas..." 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.
