I stumbled on LA Hookah Lounfe thanks to Yelp, and at first I wasn't totally sure if I should go in. Pulling up it gave major "are we sure this is open?" vibes. The outside is super dark and from the car I was questioning if I should even try it. But once I opened the door total surprise. It was completely safe inside and had a laid-back, cozy vibe that caught me off guard in the best way. When we got there, there were only a couple of other tables but it started to fill up slowly after. Still, the place never felt too packed or overwhelming. Just chill vibes and low-key energy perfect for relaxing. They do have board games, which I thought was cool but they're kept locked up so you have to go ask the staff to access them. A tiny inconvenience but not a dealbreaker. Honestly, it would've been nice if they were just out and ready to grab but I get it. Now let's talk about the hookah I now consider myself a hookah amateur, I was surprised by the amount of options they had. There were so many flavors I'd never heard of, plus different types of setups. One of them was themed after cartoon characters like Labubu or ziMomo (I forget the exact name but it was so fun and random in the best way). I had no idea hookah came in such creative setups! Service was fine no complaints. They were helpful when we asked about the hookah types and got us set up quickly. All in all this is definitely one of those hidden gems you'd probably never walk into unless you knew it was there. But I'm so glad I did. It's not flashy or fancy, but it's the kind of spot that makes you want to stay for hours and unwind. I'll definitely be back. read more

10/10. A friend and I were cruising the town and wanted to smoke hookah. We literally, googled "hookah near me" & this place popped up. The host was amazing, very tentative and friendly. They have games inside and quite a bit of flavors to choose from. Lastly , there is a patio with heaters! I'll def be returning! P.S. the music is good and the parking is solid too!!

I tried two time this place. Overall hookah was very bad. Atmosphere was ok. Prices are higher than other places. And they charge service fee and Tip Not recommended at all read more

This is by far the best hookah lounge in LA!! The owner Gigi is just the most friendliest and super knowledgeable about the different hookah flavors and pipes. I always trust his recommendations because it's super smooth and lasts a while. If you're looking for a chill place that's open late and offers the best hookah flavors and good music, then this is it! read more

This was a fantastic experience! The ambience was beautiful, although you would not expect it from the parking lot. The interior room has a lot of great blue light, the patio house has adorable porch lights! I felt safe here, I wasn't being harassed with my friends. There was a lot of space in order to have private conversations. The service was wonderful. The owner helped us pick the kind of Shisha that we wanted. Even the hookahs have their own cute little iron so the ash does not get into the Shisha. The price of a hookah is reasonable! Please note that there is a maximum of three people per hookah at 29.99. There are chips and other kinds of dry goods. I wish hummus had been available however, I don't think they have a kitchen. I will certainly be visiting again. read more

My friends and I came in during a Friday night. Ambiance is great as we sat inside, but the service was great as they offered to turn on the heater if we wanted to sit outside. They also have non-alcoholic drinks like apple and pineapple juice. read more

My favorite hookah bar in LA! Always a magical experience, smoothest hookahs with so many flavors and a great vibe all around. GG is so kind and knowledgeable! read more

Tonight was my first time at Blue Lounge. I had learned that it recently changed ownership and was eager to check out a lounge near me, as there are very few near me in Downtown. When I pulled up to the location, I was pleased to see that there was ample parking available. Upon arriving, the location looked quite small, but as we walked in I was surprised to see how much space there was, especially the back patio! The owner was kind enough to walk us through the location, and show us around, allowed us to choose our pipes and even helped us decide on some new mixes to try out. In under 7 minutes, our hookah was brought out to us with a smile. GG was great about checking on us throughout the session, and my friend and I were both extremely happy with our bowls. We had about an hour and a half session, 2 rounds of 3 coals each on an apple on top wind cover heating device. My hookah was still smoking extremely smoothly by the time I was leaving, it could have probably lasted another 30 minutes. My friend's hookah was cooked at an hour 30, which in my opinion is the time of an average session. As someone who smokes close to 5 hookah bowls a day at home and refuses to try out new lounges, I was really grateful I went to Blue Lounge. I had my own reservations of the lounge prior to tonight because of the negative reviews I had read on here, but I truly believe that this lounge is on its way to becoming a low key hotspot. Whether you're an occasional smoker or an enthusiast, I feel that the service and quality is top tier for everyone alike. I'll definitely be back here again. Thank you for a wonderful first experience! read more

The welcoming Atmosphere The vibe was right it was really relaxing after a long day It was a nice scenery the people was nice

I was in town to meet my friends and discovered this amazing hookah lounge. As I pulled up first thing I noticed was ample of parking space. The place is huge and has a back patio which lights up like a stary night. This is one of the cool places I have visited this weekend. They have outstanding spectrum of hookah flavors and the ambiance is superb. The service I got from GG was top-notch, I believe I got my hookah at my table within 5 mins, he gave some amazing mixes and flavor recommendations such an altruistic personality. I would highly recommend this place if you want to have some good time or you plan for a game night. I'd definitely go back to this place and highly recommended for avid smokers. I believe the new management is a game changer for this place. It's like finding a diamond. read more

My friends and I hang out here all the time. Great place to smoke, socialize, chill and even celebrate. read more

Amazing service. Location is a bit different, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere and music.

Sweet owner, low key lounge, in heart of East Hollywood. Open until 5am. Late nighters now have a place to go to.

Best hookah lounge i've been to in LA. Amazing flavors & hospitality will definitely come back !!

This place is nice and chill !! Great vibe and atmosphere, the manager was super nice and taught us more about how hookah works! Also gave my group free orange juice , definitely worth coming to this lounge ! read more

If I could put zero stars I would . I can tolerate a lot but I CANNOT and WILL NOT tolerate racism. This business clearly has fake reviews because there's no way all these people (no photos & no yelp activity) had a 5 star experience . We came here on a Saturday night and the owner literally locked the front door and told us to leave out the back . NEVER AGAIN read more

Me n my husband love hookah when we are traveling and we travel a lot. This is probably the best hookah we have tried in a long time. The customer service was very nice. The owner had us try paan with kulfi and omgggg let me tell you I am a fan! If you love hookah definitely check out this place ! This review is written by a hookah lover. read more

What a wonderful place. So accommodating and it feels so comfortable. The prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend.

First time at this amazing Hookah Lounge and definitely won't be the last, this will be our go-to. As soon as you walk in you're immediately welcome by GG the most hospitable person you'll meet including most knowledgeable about the craft of Hookah. He prepared us a custom blend of Tangiers which was out of this world! A private and secluded location with private indoor and outdoor seating. Must try location for everyone. read more

It was a cool place to chill and hang out with friends. Gigi is incredibly knowledgeable about hookah and has all the latest tech and gadgets to ensure a great hookah session.

Hookah was ok nothing great about it. Hookah cost is is significantly higher than average . In addition, there is a service fee added to your bill and on top of taxes. The fee is approximately 21-22% of purchase. They only take cash so bring it with you or pay $5 to withdraw from the ATM on-site. The patio area is pretty and clean. They have heaters and the service was ok. The front desk person was rude when I asked about the difference between cost per menu and what I was charged. It lacked transparency so I hope this review provides that before you decide to visit. This is definitely a place for you and friends to hangout. They also have music playing and like I said, it's clean. read more

I was not expecting to walk into such a gem of an establishment. GG, the new owner for the last 4 months has created an environment so warm and welcoming with the most accommodating energy. The guy just gets it. I'm beyond grateful to know this lounge exists and to have met and bonded with a charismatic and kind host. Thank you GG! I can't wait to come back for s'mores and karaoke nights read more

Gaurav (GG) the new owner is great! Amazing customer service and the widest selection of tobacco I've seen in any hookah lounge! The lounge is open late hours and has been a great place to get work done or relax after a long day (the WiFi speeds are great). GG is very flexible with the music selection and is amenable to whatever genre you're in the mood for. As an Armenian, I know my hookah and this place is the best hookah lounge in all of LA. I highly recommend Blue Lounge to everyone (from beginners to experienced smokers.) The lounge has both an inside and outside area, so regardless of weather, there's somewhere to sit. What's really refreshing is that the owner is really receptive to feedback and suggestions, which is really rare nowadays in any business, let alone a hookah lounge. 10/10.

Came to blue lounge the other night now that it's under new ownership. The owner was super knowledgeable with hookah and recommended mixes. Just tell him a profile and ask him to surprise you, was not disappointed. Great prices for the quality of tobacco you're getting. You can tell he's really put his heart and soul into the lounge. Will def be back. read more

10/10 recommend LA Hookah lounge From the moment we walked into Gigi's lounge to the moment we left he took great care of my friends and I.
