I went on a Friday night with a party of 15. We were sat down quickly. This was my first time here…read more The music was great the DJ was playing R&B with a mix of neo soul. The server approached our table to see what we wanted to drink or hookah. We declined the Hookah. As I was overlooking the menu; I noticed they had drink menu which most drinks were $20+. To me that was bit steep. I ordered oysters (7/10), sushi (6/10), and wings(siracha) (8/10). When the food was brought out i had the wrong order, but it was fixed. After we ordered our food that was the last time we seen our server she disappeared. So, we didn't get any refills on our drinks or water. I'm guessing they was short staffed. So, I will give them grace. Someone in my party didn't enjoy their food and the chef/manager came out was very combative. They offered to cook something else, but my party mate was not impressed with the food so declined the offer. But the staff keep being pushy. I know the location is the beach, so they have to up prices on food and drinks to keep up with the competition. The place is nice inside with Japanese art inside. I just wish the food was higher quality/tastier for the price.

Came back to give this place another try. The ambiance is nice, and I really love the decor…read more However, the bathrooms clearly have not been upgraded at all. I ordered a hookah recommended by the server ("blue...something"). It was just okay. The charbroiled oysters were disappointing -- the Parmesan on top was hard and tasted like processed cheese. I wouldn't recommend this spot for food, but I would recommend it for drinks. The biggest issue this visit was the environment. It was freezing inside, and we weren't informed at the time of our reservation that the heat wasn't working. We had to ask about it ourselves, and the only explanation given was that they "tried to fix it."

I was there for the oyster special, and for 50¢ oysters, they were actually pretty solid. Fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth it for the price. They also have buy-one-get-one margaritas, which is always a win. The drinks were well-made and paired perfectly with the laid-back midweek energy. As the night went on, the DJ started doing their thing and the whole atmosphere shifted...in a good way. It went from chill to a full-on vibe pretty quickly. Only downside? Parking can be a bit of a headache, especially once the crowd rolls in. So I'd definitely recommend getting there early if you can. Overall, a great Wednesday night spot if you're looking for good deals, good music, and a lively crowd. I'll definitely be back.

I had a watermelon mint hookah and it was really good. They keep the coals coming until you can't smoke anymore. The VIP booths around the venue are comfortable and intimate. There's a pool table too if you'd rather be up playing. The TVs were playing sports the whole time I was there so this would be a great spot to catch a game and relax. I love the photo op wall covered with flowers and the X Lounge sign.

If you're looking for a spot that perfectly nails the "lounge vibe" without the chaotic energy of a…read moreclub, Trio Hookah Lounge is exactly where you need to be. It has officially become my go-to destination whenever I visit Jacksonville and want to get out of the house and actually enjoy my night. First off, the service here is top-tier. The staff is attentive, friendly, and they genuinely make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. And the food? It's consistently delicious. I recently had the salmon, and it was cooked to perfection--flaky, flavorful, and better than what you'd find at most dedicated restaurants. It's rare to find a lounge where the kitchen keeps up with the quality of the atmosphere, but Trio pulls it off effortlessly. Now, let's talk about the main event. In my opinion, Trio offers the best hookah in the city. The pulls are smooth, the flavors are bold, and the setup is always clean. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing smoke, you won't find a better experience elsewhere. The Vibe: It's a true kick-back atmosphere. It's sophisticated and lively, making it the perfect middle ground for those who want to socialize without the deafening noise of a nightclub. The Crowd: Be warned--this place is a local favorite for a reason! It gets rather packed on the weekends. Reservations: To ensure you aren't stuck waiting, I highly recommend reserving a table in advance if you're planning a weekend visit. I can't recommend Trio Hookah Lounge enough. Whether you're there for the vibes, the incredible salmon, or the smoothest hookah in town, you're guaranteed a great time.

Because this place was so close to where I was visiting and looked cool AND was rated highly on here, I was on my way. Right away I was greeted and seated by a hostess named Rosy (she was seriously fun and amazing the whole time). The layout and vibe of the place is so awesome. The DJ played good music, the crowd was chill, and best of all this place serves wine and beer (and food). However, this place gets 5 stars for the customer service. I ordered a brand/flavor I smoke at home on the regular so when I got my hookah, I was certain it didn't taste like what ordered. I let Rosy know and the owner came out to try it. Rosy agreed it didn't taste like gum mint and the owner graciously changed it out. From my experience at hookah bars, flavors can come out differently if the head isn't cleaned well, but the owner insisted they all are. He even brought out the box of shisha so I could see what they're using and yes, it was the exact one I have. After changing it out, it still wasn't right. He came back to check on me and I was honest in that it still didn't taste like gum mint, but I told him it was fine. He offered to swap it out yet again, but at this point I wasn't trying to be difficult. His whole staff and himself had been so nice and I didn't want to be "that customer." The next night I came back with my brother and the owner along with another waitress from the previous night remembered me and once again received excellent service. I have to add that prices are very reasonable for both hookah (if you like Al Fahkar) and drinks, but it's such an awesome place that the bill WILL add up. I can see why this place has such good reviews and I will be back when I visit again.

This was by far the best experience I've ever had at a hookah lounge, and that says a lot for someone who doesn't smoke! The food here caught me by surprise in the best way possible! Not only was I super satisfied with the selection on the menu, but everyone ordered something different and we basically got to see a showcase of menu items. The lowest scoring menu item to us was still a 5.5 which is solid. I would highly recommend coming here, especially with friends. They have good music playing and service for us was a 10 out of 10. I was helped by Brodie and Korey and when I tell you guys they took such good care of us I mean it! Brodie was our bartender, he took the time to perfect each drink & always made sure we were topped off with refills! Korey took care of absolutely everything we could have asked for! From napkins to photos she was willing to do it all! I can't wait to come back here!!! Especially for those egg rolls!!

The establishment is right off of Blanding Blvd with lots of parking. Inside was well lit, spacious and most importantly clean. There were plenty of people inside playing pool but it didn't feel crowded because of the layout. Plenty of pool tables, I didn't count them but there are enough that I doubt anyone waited or even had to wait long to have a turn. We saw 4 electronic dart boards over in a corner and went right over no wait. The bar staff was friendly, attentive and quick. We ordered wings, fried pickles and loaded fries to eat. With sweet tea and the Friday special long island to dring. The food came out, what I would call, relatively quick for the number of people there on a Friday night. The food wasn't overly spectacular I would say it was ok. Expect Your typical bar food but the price was alright and it tasted good. To their credit we just went with typical choices as well so I wasn't expecting something extravagant. Overall: 4/5 - We will definitely be back.

The people are awesome, the owner is awesome, it was a great time. They have an AMI jukebox and a great sound system, two pool tables and a huge outdoor patio. If you're like me and thought it isn't your thing, I say stop in and give it a try. I went on a week night and it was a great time with great people so I can only imagine it gets better on the weekend. Hookah doesn't have to be your thing (I may give it a shot at some point) but it's a great bar none the less. Definitely stop and give it a shot.
