My cousin wanted to smoke some Hookah so I suggested Lux. The quality of the Hookah has improved from the past for sure. For two people it's $30 not bad. Nice local spot to hang with the crew. read more

Lux Chateau Hookah Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

Great service, kind owner, very big selection of brands and flavors. Would definitely come back here.

Been to so many hookah bars in the last two decades. And one thing I've realized is the more rules there are, the shittier the service and hookah is. This place is no exception. No outside drink, not even water. Extremely trash hookah and the owner or whoever very rude, go down the street to charcoal. Oh and if you come with a group and just one person doesn't buy anything, automatic surcharge. I mean you can spend 500 with ten ppl but they will make sure they add that surcharge. read more

We were a party of 8 visiting from California. A family member graduated from Elmhurst University! While here, we were searching for a place to hang out that wasn't overpriced. Let me tell you that I had the best hookah lounge experience.EVER. What seemed like the owner/manager, attended to our party and he was very attentive, gave us all our options, very knowledgeable and the hookah was SMOOTH, y'all! So, yes, if you're looking for a spot, this is it. 1000% will come back when we visit again. read more

Amazing hookah first time trying the Russian hookah will be back. The server was extremely knowledgeable

Nice Laid Back Vibe. Perfect place to come and hookah and relax your mind. Many different selection of flavors to choose from off the menu. You can even bring snacks or outside food. No Liquor Comfortable atmosphere. Prices are fair. Flat Screen Tv's if your interest in watching TV. After a certain time the Tv's turn off and nice up to date music starts to play. The staff is nice and will help you choose some great hookah flavors. Clean Materials are provided and freshly out the package. read more

See all

Good hookah, good service and friendly staff. They also have several tv's with the game on.

It has become me and my husbands go-to place! Thank you for the kind service. No matter how busy it gets, the gentlemen always keeps checking up on us! Super cozy and chill environment! See you guys next weekend. read more

Being a hookah addict, I can never leave a visiting city without checking out the hookah bars. As my husband and I's first time in Chicago, thought we would try this place out. Ambiance: This place has a very nice feel and it is well decorated, if you like the more modern style versus middle eastern decor. I prefer middle eastern as it is a hookah bar. Hookah: Not good. The hookahs are so tiny, and there's barely any smoke. we ordered blue mist and code69, what we tasted was some grape flavor. They had dinky plastic hoses which I hate. The coals: They use quick lights, which no hookah bar should be using because they kill the flavor! Real charcoal is just much higher quality and enhances the overall flavor and longevitiy. Plus I'm paying to go out for hookah and I feel you better be using best quality coal or why the hell am I paying so much for? Music: When I go to a hookah bar I am looking for a nice chill vibe and experience, and I think the music is very important in creating that ambiance. This place's music was just too much high energy, rave music that doesn't go well with a hookah bar. There should be a good mix of music and you definitely have to have middle eastern and bhangra as well. This place didnt have that which was a bummer as well. Pricing: at the end of the night the owner charged us extra for seating us at the caged floor seating! Like WTH the place was full and HE was the one that suggested us to sit there, and didnt even tell us beforehand that it is extra for sitting in that area. So unprofessional and not cool. Also, since this review we have also visited MO SHEESHA hookah lounge, which is by far so much better! AMAZING hookah, GREAT smoothies, GREAT music, and GREAT decor! The owner really loves what he does and customized our flavor and was so helpful and nice. Night and day difference! Save your time and money and go there instead. read more

First time here, it was a really good time! The music (hip hop) made it even better because it keeps you moving when your relaxed and just enjoyed it! The service was the best part! I didn't get the guys name but he made the experience nice and enjoyable. I would definitely come here if I ever wanted to do hookah again. The prices are very reasonable and give you more then you need! read more

Excellent service, very clean environment and good hookah. Nice owner. Came here on a Saturday night with friends and staff was very attentive! Would recommend. read more

Just wanted to let everyone know to be careful with this business. Me and my friends walked in and we were informed that the hookah was $20. We ordered 2 regular hookahs and the next day noticed that they charged my account 101$. Spoke to manager he said it was accident and then disconnected his phone number. read more

I don't really understand the 1star review [first review] given... it doesn't accurately or honestly rate Lux... seems as though it's simply a slight against the place since he didn't get whatever he was expecting. Anyways... a more relevant review: Atmosphere: ----------------- Pretty solid, they have a dozen or so seating areas for different size groups. There is 1 sit-on-floor booth style, some tables, some couches and even a pool table. The theme is decidedly red and it works. 2 plasmas hang on the walls playing sports or music videos. The music is also good, the right amount of chill , I'd say house style. Considering this place is in a strip mall... i am impressed with their layout. It is also very clean and fairly spacious. Hookah & Service: ------------------------ The hookah is good bordering on great... it all depends on the flavor you get. I've had some bland ones and some great ones. Your experience will depend on recommendations from the server and your preferences. IMO only the strong hookahs are worth the time. The menu is bewilderingly large... and the names will look like foods/drinks [which was what i thought at first]. Then you realize those are all flavors you can try. The service was quick and polite. Granted you will need to flag a server down [depending on how busy it is] when you want something but they are happy to oblige and take care of you super fast. Price: --------- As with any hookah joint, there is a per person minimum... not a big deal. It usually amounts to what you would spend otherwise [without being super cheap - like 1 hookah for a group]. You might end up spending more if you go with a couple drinks. It's a hookah joint, so it wont be cheap, pay to play as they say. Conclusion --------------- If you are into hookah, check it out. I was happy to see that the interior decoration, service, and hookah are definitely up to par... felt like the manager/owner was honest in their attempt to start a shop. You can't say that about every hookah joint you see. read more

**Updated 2/24/10 I went back and had a different flavor, Ambrosia is where it's at it kinda has a melon flavor to it and it's mellow and very flavorful. Also tried the Egyptian Tea and it was pretty freak'n good. All in all It's a pretty decent place and it's fun to watch the ballywood music videos on the flat screen while Biggie Smalls is playing on their juke box I swear almost always the video will sync w/ the music ha! read more

Chill spot to enjoy some hookah with friends. They give you a tab which is roughly $11 a person and you can use it toward the hookah, changing flavor or refreshments. They carry PAN flavor which in my opinion is one of the BEST!!! You can also buy supplies at a fairly reasonable price and the lounge is quite attractive. read more

After visiting several Hookah lounges in the past, here are a few reasons why me and my friends continuously choose to come here time and time again as our preferred hookah spot. 1. Very clean and easy going environment with adequate space for customers to relax and enjoy their time. Comfortable couches, privacy walls, and larger seating areas also available for bigger groups. 2. The Customer service has always been very good every time we have visited here and the staff takes their time to kindly check on their customers and make sure that their needs are met. 3. Their prices are very reasonable and inexpensive for the awesome quality you get here. Affordability and high quality go hand in hand here. Hookah quality is excellent and it is obvious that they clean all of their materials before you use them. They use very high quality pipes. New hoses and clean materials are provided every time and are a big plus. There are very many quality flavors to choose from on the menu and there is something for everyone. 4. They have a nice selection of non alcoholic beverages, delicious smoothies, and hot teas to choose from which are very good. read more

I myself live in Plainfield, Illinois and drive all the way to Lombard to go Lux. Honestly this is the best hookah lounge I've ever been too! The service and hospitality gives you the comfort of your own home. This joint is ran by a father and son duo and they are the sweetest individuals in the business! I would honestly recommend this lounge above all! Don't believe me! Check it out once and see what you have been missing out on! read more

This is my favorite hookah lounge in the area. They have tangiers here! The prices are based on party size and seating -- tables, couches, and private screens. There are TVs everywhere playing movies and the crowd is diverse. The staff really know their products :) I cannot wait to come back. read more

Environment-- really nice hookah bar relative to others in the area... Hookah-- they didn't do a good job of fixing the coals. the red bull specialty hookah was really good. Price-- ok read more

When we go out, my husband and I need some goood hookah after having our food. We were in this area and searched for a hookah place nearby and so we came across this. When I entered I instantly loved the place! The ambience and everything. Its a welcoming place. They had a good long list of hookah flavors that you could choose from. Also we sat on the couch and were told that its $11 for one person but you can use that amount for hookah and drinks. So that was okay with us. The service was very good. It was a weekday so don't know if that makes a difference. The hookah was good too. We sat for almost an hour and it was working fine. Also they have a VERY clean restroom. For me thats kind of a BIG plus. read more

This place is clean, and well ventilated for an indoor smoking lounge. The atmosphere is relaxing and the music (types of dance the times I've been there) is always quiet enough to have a conversation, but loud enough so you feel as though you can speak up and have a good time. The service is great. The charcoals come when you need them, and the Egyptian Tea is delicious. There's a variety of seating options, from cozy floor booths to VIP booths closed off with velvet ropes. The prices are reasonable and the fellow clientele is respectable. I went to another place in Lisle while Lux was closed for remodeling, and I learned my lesson. Lux Chateau is the only hookah lounge in the area that is worth visiting. read more

The Good: -The minimum tab is reasonable, and with a big enough group, can go for hours. -Their drinks are delicious -the staff are very good at suggesting different flavors to try. They even like to mix some up and share them with others. -You can tell that Hookah is a hobby and a big interest with the employees and not just a job. -The staff are very friendly and don't mind just talking and hanging out with you if it's slow enough The Bad: -The music is usually on a play list and repeats after about an hour. Its not a big deal but definitely something you will notice while relaxing. -There has been a couple times where the Hookah wasn't setup right and the tub kept popping out. -If it is even a little busy it can be hard to get someone's attention to help you with a new order. You usually have to be proactive and go up to get assistance. -The cage area is one of the more expensive areas to sit in, yet it is the most uncomfortable. The floor is carpeted but hard. There is a table in the middle that makes you stuck with sitting cross legged most of the time. And there are burn marks all over the carpet. Overall the good highly out weigh any bad this place may have. I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a chill place to hang out for small amount of money. read more

This place is super chill and has great customer service. Although 240 flavors seem a bit overwhelming... just ask what are the popular ones to help with that. The Egyptian tea (the drink) was delicious. Very reasonable prices too. read more

Visited on Monday and Saturday night. Both times staff was great. More busy on Saturday but we were still provided great service. Great spot to chill with friends. Reasonable priced read more

Lux Chateau has a very nice environment, but when i went in to their lombard location and their loyola location i was surprised to notice that they only like to cater to muslims... im a white kid and when i showed interest in music and television selection they explained to me that they only play muslim music and television... the sheesha was great if you like to smoke out of small hookahs. the service was so-so. i wish my experience had been better. i hope this review helps you improve your business. read more

Pretty solid place, good vibe, relatively cheap.

its ok ..i ordered the triple apple and wasnt impressed..however, the waiter was really nice..the $11 a head is a good deal..it wasnt packed..ive been to better.. read more

Been meaning to write a review for this place, haven't been for a little while! The very first time I went, it was the middle of winter and my friend & I decided we would try this place out instead of heading to the city. We got seated to the room right next to the door and we tried to stick it out but it was toooooooo cold! So we asked and the ushered us into the corner room, in which you must take your shoes off and we loved it. They also didn't charge us for the room which was a bonus. :] I have not been to any other place but them [when I have the time]. Their hookah tastes great, prices are VERY reasonable and the ambiance is so laid back; it isn't loud and obnoxious. Love their juices as well; I had a mango flavored one and looooved it. Why 3 stars? The cigarette smokers. :| no. I came to inhale flavored smoke, not ciggy smoke. Aren't always quick with a coal, so you have to wait a bit to get a new one at times. Different snack variety would make me happier. Other than that, loved it. This is my 1st choice! Happy Hookahing. :] read more

The staff and owners are hella shady and greedy. Why? we ordered hookahs and drinks. We paid our bill no questions asked. Come to find out they charge a minimum per person which is fine but we had like $35+ left over the old guy serving us is making small talk but not one mention of it and we left a tip which makes it even worst. I could of bought like 15 red bulls so yeah I'm pissed. In my eyes this is so dishonest he knew it was our first time there. read more

My friends and I were here for about 5 hours inside the little cage-room. We had a blast. We were playing card games all night long. Their hookas hit REALLY WELL! It is a little far for me, but it is well worth it. The place is very classy. I'm not really a fan of the set price per head, but it works. Also make sure you try their iced chai latte. I will be returning here. read more

Pretty decent place if you want to get a Hooka into your system in the west burbs. I liked the service and the recommendations provided, also found the crowd to be tame. These guys also make good hot beverages, and I particularly like the Egyptian Tea. read more

Garbage owner. Poor ventilation. Mandatory payment even if your not smoking. Would not recommend to anyone.

I brought my friend here a couple days ago for his birthday. Iv been here many times before and I am never disappointed the service is very good. What makes this place very unique is that the have a hookah flavor iv never had anywhere else before and from what I know it is very hard to get, its called Pan Masala is a nice strong but very smooth flavor, that smokes thick. You can really taste it unlike other hookah bars and there star buzz flavors. The seating is comfortable and you feel like your in a third world country. This is a place I would love to go to more often but its about an hour away from my home. they have a menu of delicious coffee and Turkish tea and of course energy drinks. Everyone should come and experience this. read more

Ambiance was good and hookah tasted good when we were there, but after I came home I had the biggest migraine and I threw up. Unfortunately this has never happened to me so I was very disappointed. It also happened to my two other friends who were with me. I don't think I can smoke here again because I got extremely sick. Not sure what would cause this...as I know it was the hookah since my friends and I just met to smoke only. Place used to be good till this incident occurred. read more

Decent hookah bar with nice ambiance, however the hookahs as another yelper have said "don't last very long". That is very true, and would also like to note that they charge additional fee for natural coals, which should be standard, instead of a $3.00 up charge. Hookah bar has room for improvement, and I might be back. read more

The menu's say the hookah cost $15, we went to check out and they charged us $17. The cashier/manager reports those are old menu's and the prices changed. I was arguing with him for about 10 minutes before leaving. He reports he tell everyone when they order, well guess what no one notified us. Your place is a scam, you need to honor the prices on your menu or replace them. Bad enough the place is subpar, clothes are ripped and raggedy. read more

Good flavors however it does not last long at all. After about 3 min due to over packing it was burnt. The hookah pipe they have are typical hookahs that you have in your house. All around will not come back until an upgrade. read more

I've been to many hookah lounges since moving to Chicago. And lux chateau is the only place that has exceptional service. There are many flavors to choose from. The hookah runs smoothly and the atmosphere is great. The staff regularly check on customers to ensure their satisfaction. I would definitely recommend lux chateau hookah lounge to others. read more

My friend and I stopped here after a casual girl's wine night out. Had the watermelon mint flavor. We loved it! It was a nice atmosphere and cozy/comfortable. I also had tea and we both had espresso shots which were good. Next time we're in the area again, we'll definitely be back to visit! read more

The guys that work here work extra hard to make sure you are happy and content with their products. Ha, as I speak they brought us an extra sheesha with an electric bowl!!!! It's amazing!!!!! Lol anyways, the flavors are all pretty legit too. I have spent an hour solid pulling with multiple friends on the same bowl without feeling any burn. Now that's a good pack. read more
