What a cute local hang out spot. My friend and I were looking for hookah. We drove from Baltimore…read more We wish we would have known it was a BYOB place. We love that. The service was a bit relaxed. We walked in and were not greeted. We headed toward the back and were told to sit wherever. A server came to take our beverage order and hookah order. They had a very large hookah selection. They only offer sodas & juice. We did see a carry out menu on the front counter so I believe you can also bring food in. The hookah was also reasonably priced!! $40

Wow... where to begin... this was disappointing to say the least. We stood at the door and the…read morehostess came from behind us in the door and then told to sit anywhere we'd like and i'd understand if they were just opening but at this point when we visited they had already been open for hours so not quite sure why she walked in behind us. The actual hookah was mid at best for D.C I was expecting a lot better. Then when it came to the bill we were charged $4 for each bottle (of which we were not even told there was a charge at all for water, and no we did not specifically ask for a sealed bottle all we asked for was water the sever never said tap or bottled, she just automatically brought us sealed) when on the menu they were priced at $3.50 sure it's .50 but when there was five that .50 extra could have almost bought another bottle. Also when she brought the bill she did not even show the itemized bill at first all she showed was the tip screen which upon doing the math from what we ordered vs paid we realized the amount was way higher than what we got and so we asked for the copy of the receipt only to find out there was ALREADY a service charge on there of which was NOT a credit card charge because we paid in cash and when asked what the cash total was she told us $60.31 yet the copy showed the cash price was $57.91 also they charge for charcoal, what am i suppose to do bring my own charcoal? i've never had to pay extra for charcoal they just include it with hookah price, absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention the vibes in this place is like an absolute funeral, all the pictures made this place look so fun and great, but no it was worse than funeral. I felt even more so like i was at a funeral after I realized how badly my wallet was robbed. I will never come back here.

He does this for safety as the surrounding area is rambunctious. You must bring your own drink if you are drinking alcohol. He has a set up for a small fee.

I think I still don't know how I feel about this place. I came on a week night to an empty house…read more Maybe just one other customer inside. So interior is OK - comparing it to Aagh - Aagh was much nicer, but this place is much more comfortable. The couches were great - I could sit there all day. We ordered a hookah that ended up tasting like Pan. I asked the guy about it and he said they use completely different hookahs for pan and double apple since the taste lingers but I wasn't convinced. Hookah was packed fine and I appreciated the coco nara coals. I wish they had more to offer for drinks, maybe some snacks as well. I came back here on a Saturday night and couldn't make out the vibe of the place. It was pitch black inside and felt a little sketchy so I didn't end up going in. I think the place is still getting its footing so lets see how it ends up.

I visited Myste for a private event, and while the space itself is very aesthetically pleasing, the…read moreoverall experience was disappointing, mainly due to the food and service. The lounge is on the smaller side, which actually worked well for the event and gave it an intimate vibe. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The menu is extremely limited, and you pretty much have to piece together a meal from a few items. I ordered the jollof rice and six-piece chicken wings. The wings were overpriced, overcooked, and had no flavor at all. The only options were sauces on the side (honey, ranch, or blue cheese), and when I specifically asked for honey drizzled on top with blue cheese on the side, that request wasn't followed. Even more frustrating, our server never came back to check on us or make sure everything was okay. The jollof rice was honestly the worst part. Instead of that rich, smoky flavor you'd expect, it tasted burnt with a harsh charcoal aftertaste. I've had jollof rice many times before, and this was nowhere close. I ended up sending it back. Because I was hungry, I forced myself to eat the wings, even though they were dry and lacked flavor. Overall, Myste Lounge has a nice look and potential, but the food and service really need improvement. A revamped menu and better attention to guests would make a huge difference.

I'd first like to say my boyfriend and I have been going to MK for YEARS, before the new paint,…read morebefore the DJ Booth and before they opened the new MK on Charles Street. That used to be our lil hangout. So my review of the 'new and improved' MK may be a little slighted. Okay one, the location of the lounge is pretty nice, off in the cut of Woodlawn and in the corner of a Shopping center. When MK is opened, the only traffic in that shopping center is for Pejus, MK, and maybe a few eateries. There is a HUGE parking lot so parking is never a issue. The line gets long at times, especially since MK is not that big. Bring your ID, they will ask and frisk. The admit price is a little high (compared to what it was a yr ago). Once you get in, there are couches against the walls, tables, and little stools/ chairs closest to the walkway. The music is hiphop/rap exclusively on the Fri/Sat/Holiday nights and really loud. Hookah: The hookahs are large and you can ask for extra hoses (depending on the size of your group plus a extra charge) They don't mind putting ice in the bowl if you ask. The flavors are star buzz and Al Fahkar - both give a full smoke and nice flavor. (I personally recommend Star-buzz - it seems to last a little longer). MY ONLY ISSUE with the Shisha is that some of the back staff don't pack the top bowl where the shisha doesn't get stuck to the foil which will give you a burnt taste after a few pulls. So if you are a hookah smoker - there may need to be a few adjustments during your visit. Drinks: BYOB!!!! I dont really like the {new} system. They check your bottle at the door, put a tag on it basically connecting it to your party, and they take the drink to the 'bar'. Every time you want a drink, you have to go ::let them pour YOUR drink FOR YOU::. Please be reminded, in the state of MD, you cant 'serve' alcohol after 2. Sooooo MAKE SURE YOUR BOTTLE IS GONE BEFORE TWO! After warnings, they will trash it, and NO you can not bring it out...Ultimately its a nice spot to hang on a weekend where you dont feel like going downtown, Pejus or the Windsor. ***NOTE: You CAN go to Pejus and order a hookah in there from MK (Dont let them tell you - you can't, I've done it.)

I'd like to side on the positive. When my cousin arrived, we stored my controversial satchel in the boot of the vehicle and ventured in. The host seated us next to another trio and we shared the low slung table for hookah paraphernalia and drinks. "This place is BYOB". The do have cups of ice in the back. And an assortment of juices, sodas, and teas to cut the alcohol you bring. I enjoyed the music. Hip hop mostly, and very very very loud. Lots of stripper hip-hop the kids are producing these days. There was a few huge TVs in our area as well broadcasting the Lakers beating Golden State in the final quarter. The hats must go off to the waitresses working the hookahs. They were always in the area, checking on progress. Don't be thrown off by the 4 stars. I'm 50, so I'd only come back here if my family decided to. The music and scene isn't classic hip-hop or R&B from the 80s and 90s.

They've got all the neon signs and photo lighting you could imagine and most nights there's a DJ spinning mostly early 2000's and current hip-hop and r&b music with some afrobeats mixed in. In most of my experiences they are generally well staffed to handle the larger weekend crowds and from management to the servers the staff is typically very pleasant and timely in regard to service. This is probably one of the few spots that opens until 3-4am, if you're looking for something on a late night. They also host a variety of discounted events on a given day whether it be extended happy hours from 4-10pm, free hookah Monday's, or various specials for football game nights. I definitely recommend giving them a try if you're looking for something in-between lounge and club vibes with good hookah and high energy.
