This is to hookah what Taco Bueno is to fine Mexican dining. I visited on a Saturday night and we…read morepromptly decided to go elsewhere. For starters, the two-people-per-hookah policy is obnoxious. I get the trade-offs here and why the business has to do it, and more and more hookah bars are adopting similar policies. But when you're telling me if I've spent $50 on 2 hookahs for 4 people and one more friend shows up, our tab is now $75, I really don't appreciate that. I get that most customers are younger and would smoke 10 people on 1 hookah if given the chance, but you've got to have a middle ground. 5 people wanting to share 2 hookahs is not taking advantage. Then comes price: I'm from Texas where tobacco taxes are sky-high and businesses have about $20,000 of prep work to do for special tobacco-oriented zoning, and you still don't see prices this high. $25 for a bowl is obscene, especially with the aforementioned policy. Then comes the atmosphere. Loud, cramped, poorly ventilated, dark, and uncomfortable. It may seem novel to novice smokers but is less likely to be enjoyed by a regular hookah bar attendee. I also am not a fan of the pay-when-you-walk-in model. The register is up front and you cash out before you sit down. We made sure to walk into the back and have a look around before doing so, thankfully. Again I do get that their clientele may be a little younger and more stealy than other establishments, but it does not make for a friendly or inviting experience. There are myriad websites that will sell you an entire hookah package including pipe, tobacco and coals for the same price as a single 5-person smoke session here. I know he's got some overhead but a single bowl of this stuff pays for a whole box of the stuff you're actually smoking. Save your money.

This place has the total potential to be a 5 star lounge, but here are the pros, cons and…read moresuggestions to gain the extra 2 stars. Pros: Hookah: -good flavors (al Fakher and starbuzz) - packed well - small hookah with a lot of smoke - coconara charcoals Seating area: - very spacious - can handle large groups - unique floor seats - custom tables hold hookah and garbage - homey set up with actual couches - very laid back (music tempo maintains atmosphere -smoothie was on point Cons: Hookah: - not maintained regularly (they come every 20-30 mins), so it's not good 5 mins after they fix it Seating area: - the music can be updated - no worker is ever present, making it extremely difficult to order anything (waited 20 mins to order smoothie) - prepaying seems very unwelcoming Suggestions: This place mainly lacks in service. The seating area being unattended is a big disadvantage. Regular maintenance of the hookahs served out would make this place go a long way.

The lights on the table weren't working. They are Just decoration. Security has attitude off rip and they didn't search some ppl and other ppl they would search. It's giving discrimination. If they're Going to do pat downs then everyone should get pat down. Not certain ppl. Other than that the fries are good. Oh but no ketchup at all and they charge a $10 cover. And the bill was almost $100 for only fries hookah and 2 drinks. How?!!! if you come here they will take your money. Yelp needs to add a 0 star cause my experience was awful. Never again.

The tables are old and shaky the furniture really could use an update. The music was a vibe though - Hip-Hop/R&B/Rap - GREAT SONG SELCETION! The drinks were just not cutting it, I order a mojito they didn't have any flavor to offer so I had to get a classic mojito, it wasn't good so I just had a couple shots. The hookah is good though it's not harsh & the man is always walking around with new coal checking so you don't have to hunt them down lol This place is a good vibe - They just really need food even small bites, Updated tables please! & a actual drink menu it could DO GREAT! I think their trying to turn it into like a "LIT" spot it's more of a chill atmosphere and they should ride that wave, because the LIT thing isn't really for them they close at 1am, need I say more?
