Service was very friendly and my friend enjoyed the hookah flavors! I love that there's a Mediterranean place next door and you can order food and BYOB and BYOF (bring your own food) I ended up ordering mint tea and rose hip + hibiscus tea--they ran out of hibiscus tea which was disappointing. It was shocking to know that for two pots of tea (which probably costs no more than $4) was up charged for $20. I did leave a nice tip because the service was great but I wouldn't come back on my own.

Aura Hookah Lounge may be the most authentic place in all of South Austin. It's unmatched in its…read morehospitality, welcoming atmosphere, and genuine sense of community. From the moment you walk in, you're encouraged to be your authentic self, and you're embraced because of it. This past May, my wife reached out to Kareem and Shareef about hosting a joint birthday celebration. From our very first conversation, it was clear they were just as excited about making the event special as we were. They went above and beyond to ensure every guest felt welcomed, valued, and at home. Our friends and family couldn't stop talking about the incredible atmosphere, exceptional customer service, and the genuine kindness shown by everyone at Aura. The evening was absolutely perfect, and it wouldn't have been the same without Kareem, Shareef, and the entire Aura family. If you're looking for more than just a place to hang out, if you're looking for a place where people truly care about creating community.. Aura is it. We are incredibly grateful for the experience and can't wait to be back.

Okay, it's official. This is the SPOT. All hearts and hugs to the owners and staff for creating and…read moremaintaining such a wonderful space. The service was A1, along with the food and hookah. I love how they have their flavors set up for customers to view and smell what they're ordering before committing to it. Their knowledge and flexibility with mixing the flavors is top tier. The decor is also super cute in every corner, that all you influencers and social media girlies will def get your next viral' post in any spot that you sit here. There's also a vast majority of games that you have access to using with your party at any time of the night! We came in on a weekend night that they had a DJ playing. He had a good mix and although he didn't play much of my requests, he definitely catered to majority of the crowd that was actively dancing and turning it up to make it even more immersive. Because there are so many options in Austin, I can't say that I've repeated going to any place again thus far. But I can definitely say that I will be back here more than once, over and over, until they get sick of me (hopefully not) but to make the point that - we just loved our experience tonight so much. My people and I are so happy and satisfied with this space! Yay to finding this gem!

Based on my research, "A hookah (also called shisha or waterpipe) is a multi stemmed smoking instrument designed to heat flavored tobacco and pass the smoke through water before you inhale. The water cools the smoke but does not remove harmful chemicals." Although it had a different name (Desert Kings), it was a hookah lounge. The room was separated by couches and folks were on there hookah pipes in their respective sections.

For the parking, it was very crowded, as there is only about 8-10 spots! I'd suggest either finding street parking, or trying your luck to find a spot in the parking lot (if you have a truck - it'll be a tight fit!) The hookah experience itself was nice, but I do wish the furniture was maintained a little bit (burn marks in couches, blemishes to table, etc.) to make the whole experience better! Other than that, I would definitely come back to enjoy some of their coffee as well next time!

Amazing to hear the music from below in an open air environment In addition, the 77 degrees DJ was spinning pop, hip hop and other dance music. While the area is relatively small, they had roped off VIP sections with bottle service. We did not have any food as at this juncture we were not hungry. Because 77 Degrees has an open air setting, it was pleasant to sit and watch the band.
