Do not go here the owner is rude and the vibe in this place was super boring and dry. We had to pay for 2 Hookas for 4 people then we requested a song when there was only 2 other people there and he said no he's been in business 7 years and has never had to do that so we asked for a refund and he only refunded one of the hookas then asked the other people in my group to pay 10$ which is the same as buying 2 hookas so we just left and went to the hooka on florin which was the 2nd time we've been there, and i recommend the owner there is super nice. read more

Possibly the Worst Hookah We had. Asked for staff recommendations and they suggested #12 which is apparently the best. Got the hookah fairly fast but it tasted horrible. We asked 3 dif staff members and was of no help. Asked for a remake and they brought back the same bowl. The girl at the front said she can taste sweetness and that's all there's to that , no flavors just sweetness which our whole party said there no sweetness either. Overall horrible customer service, horrible hookah. Maybe try a different spot if you wanna have a fun time . Will highly suggest stay away from this business. 60+ dollars and total waste If I could would give 0 stars I would . read more

High tech and SO fun. The service was impeccable and even though we asked for cocktails off menu, they made them for us. The flavors were nice and the ambiance was really relaxing and chill. Their menu cocktails are definitely on the sweeter side-- just an FYI. We didn't get to try the food, but will next time! read more

Came here with my friends. very clean and organized place the service is great and they're always asking if I need anything. For sure Recommend and would definitely come here again!! read more

They charge 40 $ for a hookah in the middle of Sacramento I don't even pay that in San Diego with the ocean view. It's over priced, empty no vibe...please look up hookah prices in San Diego more specifically the The living room in LA JOLLA where I live I am baffled this small town is ripping people off with these disgusting prices save your money no vibes horrible hookah read more

Ask for Sunny he's the best! We were unsure which flavor to pick- we told Sunny what we were looking for and he said "I got y'all. " We tried a special combination hooks with hints of watermelon- I'll refer to it as Sunny's creation. Very smooth not too powerful. They have food options available, non alcoholic beverages and great attentive service. A must try! read more

I have been three times there , and each time the people who work here make it a terrible time. so the last time when I was there the owner , was so rude to us he acted like a tasteless and unprofessional.. Hopefully they get some business etiquette and treat their patrons better. On top of that the ambiance isn't even nice enough for them to act like this. read more

Palace Hookah Lounge - Hookah Set Up - Hookah Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

One of my favorite ways to unwind and catch up with friends is over some hookah! I stopped by with a couple of friends on a Wednesday at 6pm, and we grabbed a table right away. There were maybe about 2-3 other parties there but we were all pretty spread out. We ordered the Gang Gang Hookah (~$20) with a Ice Tip Hose (~$5). This flavor includes peach mist, peach queen, and mint. It took about 10 minutes for them to prepare the hookah. I could taste the mint in every puff which honestly is my favorite part of any flavor. The ice tip really enhances the flavor and makes the smoke a lot fuller too! However, despite having a lot of peach in the name, I barely tasted it. The hookah lasted almost 2 hours with a few coal rotations and is average priced compared to other hookah lounges in the area. I like the decor here a lot and the overall vibe is super chill. If you're looking for a hookah lounge in the downtown area, The Palace is a great place to check out! read more

I'm in love with hookah and have been smoking it for years now. I'm originally from Sacramento but now reside in Los Angeles. My friend had been talking about bringing me here the next time I was in town. Now I've seen a few recent reviews of this place about the pricing and the service, and it definitely shows that they are inexperienced when it comes to hookah in general. My friend had mentioned that the hookah lounge we frequently visited on Howe (Darna hookah lounge), had recently opened up a new spot in midtown. So I was super excited to check it out. When we arrived we were immediately sat down and given a menu of choices, which there was more than enough. Once we got out hookah, the service was amazing with employees constantly checking in on us to see how we were doing. We did come later on a Saturday...around 1130pm. But there was plenty of seats available. There was a friendly guy next to us that let us try his hookah and we loved it, so decided to get a refill( it was something with mint and it was amazing). The prices here are standard. I've smoked in Sacramento, east Los Angeles, Glendale and Silverlake( if you are familiar with la) and they all normally charge about $25/2 people. There are normally extra charges for more people, but we had a person join us towards the end, we stayed until 145am and we didn't get an extra charge! The refill was $14, which is also normal. The hookah is smooth, great customer service, lots of flavors to choose from and I love how they don't use foil like some other places still do. Whether you are new to hookah, or it's one of your favorite things in the world...the palace is definitely a place to check out! Also...they don't serve alcohol. But who needs alcohol when you've got hookah! read more

This place has the best ambiance that I have ever experienced in a hookah lounge in Sacramento. I will definitely return, not only that the employees are very welcoming and respectful, they always check on your hookah and constantly ask if you are doing ok. The place is always clean and tidy, the hookahs are always clean which is a big deal for anyone that is smoking hookah. Keep up the good work. read more

So we had stopped at Ricks dessert diner and as we were walking to our car we happened to see this place and decided to give it a try . We were say within minutes of arrival . Beautifully decorated place and good service . Price is $25 for 2 which I believe is good . Nice music and clean place . Enjoyed there many options of flavors and we had there house specialty of Exotic. Can't want to come back and bring a few friends. read more

Service was great! Ambiance was perfect very cool calm and relaxing. I loved the belly dancer!!

Rudest people ever. They suspected that someone in my party brought alcohol when he only had a water bottle. Water bottle that we purchased at the place! Instead of asking, the server just assumed and grabbed it immediately and aggressively while also grabbing one of my friend's hair in the process. He then proceeded to cus out our group and immediately took our hookah away. They never bothered to even asked and proceeded to just remove all of us over a suspicion? Not professional at all and lost local support in town. We literally went to the place the night before and the server was already rude to us. But this time the owner said she'll check their CCTV to see the interaction. I asked for my money back and they told me to calm down. Do not support this business. I don't even know how they're still around. I will be pursuing legal charges against them. read more

Omar was the best!! Definitely coming back. Music was great, vibes were good. Service was very attentive.

My go to hookah spot absolutely love the staff && the owners have been nothing but amazing. The service and hookah is always on point. Thank you so much Idris! My bestie Eleni recommended this spot and I have never been disappointed. I've told all my friends and they agree. You all have given me the best service I'd give this spot a 10 if I could. read more

Palace Hookah Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

We went out for a hookah with a few friends who came from another state visiting me. We chose the Palace hookah because of Siddiq (another friend who work there). We were 8 people they sat us on a table that fit only 4 people. As we already paid for 6 hookahs, 2 of us moved to another table because the space was too small; the owner Edris came and very disrespectfully and rudely told us to leave the table because other customers are coming. Edris is a very rude and disrespectful. There are 100s of hookah lounges with the same service plus full respect and hospitality. If Edris offers something extra and we did not pay that is something he should let us know but can't be so stupid and disrespectful. To reiterate we came to hookah place just for a friend Siddiq otherwise there is a lot of these hookah places everywhere. read more

Cool nice chill lounge I found arriving into Sac after a long drive from Portland . Nice decor on the inside and a very spacious lounge with TVs playing music and just overall relaxing atmosphere. The hookah did take a little long to get but it was good when I got it and pretty good customer service they checked up on me a few times and asked if I needed anything. For sure coming back for my next drive down in a few weeks. Their is street parking and neighborhood also which was easy to fine. read more

Best place to grab some fire weed yo. Good selection, decent prices, and definitely off the radar if ya know what I means. I am picky when it come to what I smoke. The bomb swap has that elite shiz. Def recommend to those who are serious. read more

This place was absolutely perfect for date night with my husband. We love to hookah, but we have a newborn so this was the first time we had gone in over a year! Everything was spectacular from the decorations to the music to the perfectly brewed tea. The belly dancer was a really fun addition to the night as well. It seemed like an awesome place to just hang out and my husband I would be regulars if we didn't have a newborn. This was a special treat for us and a great way to spend our anniversary. I couldn't stop staring at the chandeliers, I loved the throwback hip hop they had on (like all my favorite stuff to dance to back in '08 including songs I probably haven't listened to since then) and service was perfectly attentive. I love fragrant tea so we got jasmine green and it was perfectly brewed green tea with actual jasmine flower in it. The hot tea and the ice hose were a great combination. I look forward to trying more hookah and tea flavors here. Although I'll probably wait until I'm done nursing because no nursing mama enjoys having to throw out her breast milk for a few days.. so I'll see ya in about 8 months! So glad we found such an awesome place since this was such a rare treat for us right now. read more

Honestly, Just skip this place... The customer service is terrible as soon as you walk in the door. Felt like we were getting talk down to by the host the whole time. There are no alcoholic beverages here, that's understandable however you have to pay for bottle water that's Kirkland signature? Don't understand why water isn't included with prices they charge for hookah. read more

Came here last night (Sunday, so easy parking on J St) and it was pretty good. I mean it's kinda just like any other basic hookah lounges. They do have good equipment (base, hose etc) and they got the good Fumari tobacco so i like that. Also a lot of space. They also packed their bowl really well, it wasn't harsh and it lasted a while. Now onto the price point which is a big key mention here.. So i dont think it's particularly expensive especially since it's in midtown, but i do think that it would suck if i came with 3 people and then we have to spend some extra money, when basically one hookah would basically be enough to serve all 3 of us. So like, 1-2 person - not super expensive, its reasonable, 3-4 people - now we gotta share one more when it's a bit unnecessary.. which is the sticky point. Also the ice hose - i think the ice hose is extra lol makes it hella expensive so i would just not get it. Ice in the base is $2. Overall i would come back because the hookah is pretty good quality and it's a nice place to hang out and chill with friends. One thing i would like to know is if i could bring my own drinks and food in, probably not. Their selection of bottled drinks and snacks are alright. But like if you smoke A LOT just throw in like $150 to get your own hookah lol. One last note their bathroom is nice! read more

Amazing quality hookah. Khalil Mamoon hookahs are clean so you can really taste the flavor. The bowls are packed perfectly so you get a smooth hit everytime with no harsh taste. The service is amazing as well. Server brings charcoal constantly and you dont need to touch it or adjust it yourself whatsoever. Owner was very friendly and inviting. Great hospitality. Would definitely recommend. read more

Came here with friends because they recommended it. First of all, it's $25/2 ppl which is way overpriced, we had 5 people and we were willing to pay $50 for two hookah bowls but he insisted we paid $25 more for the one more person even though they weren't smoking. I've never been treated this bad at an establishment before, let alone a place this expensive for hookah. I will not be returning and will let my friends know that it is overpriced as well. read more

Parking was a breeze right on J street there us no cover charge. They have immaculate bathrooms and smelld good and very cute decor. There are a lot of comfortable seating and A VIP section where you can reserve for private events. There is drinks available for purchase. There will eventually be food and a outdoor area. They had baklava for sale. Two people can smoke off one hookah. Using different tips. I'm super sensitive and it doesn't hurt my lungs. The flavors are so yummy ours was mint and citrus. They have so many flavors that are yummy there's too many to list. The owners are the most amazing family and and really work together very well they also own one on Howe avenue named Darna hookah lounge fun and safe. They really make you feel like your apart of the family. Very humble hard working family support small business owners and shop local. read more

I would give it 0 star but yelp won't let me so I'll stick to one. After having a "shitty" experience here, I gave the place a honest review. Rather than owning up to it, the owner's suggested me to "open my own lounge and hire customer service". If you can't take an honest review than what's the point of review section on Yelp. If you can take pride in good service and good reviews, then be open to receive criticism as well. And using a decent language to customers would be a good starting point! Good luck! read more

Came here on a Tuesday night around 7 walk in it was nice, good vibes and open view and floor... it was self serve for beverage. The worker was okay...now why I gave it a 2 star, first the price was fair but hookah was 2 per person wat a rip off, second the hookah I always get is lemon mint and watermelon and it tasted like straight trash, last it wasn't getting enough smoke so it was week.. read more

This place was the worst hookah establishment I've ever been to. My group purchased water bottles from them and after 1 hour of being there and enjoying our time, the host aggressively grabbed the water bottle from my friend who was sitting next to me. He claimed there was alcohol in the bottle that we purchased from THEM! During the process of the host snatching the water bottle while he was drinking from it he also pulled my HAIR and spilled the water all in my hair. He did not apologize but then tried to fight my friend in front of all the customers and someone else had to grab the host and hold him back! So ghetto and unprofessional. Instead of pulling one person to the side the host tried to fight. The host then threw the water bottle in the trash and when I asked why did he assume there was alcohol, the hosts friend then tried to prove his case by digging in the recycling bin/ trash and sniffing all the water bottles. Wtf...he couldn't find the water botttle and just said "I know it wasn't water". So because of his assumptions I was assaulted and my group of 15 were in shock! They then took our hookahs away even though we had no idea what was happening. When we tried to get a refund the owner was very passive and ignored us. We were loyal customers to this place and then this happened. We should have called the cops but instead left because of how rude and discriminative they were being. BEWARE! read more

I dont like this place been there few times every time the service was late we were just sitting there for long time nobody asked for service .when your orderd and your hookah is not finished the boss looks at you like it is time to go which very rude and shouldnt forget the toilets even didnt had paper n was dirty make hookah at your home dont waste your time n money there read more

I have been coming here when always in town. Great customer service with great hookah. Good menu to choose from. Keep up the great work.

What a set up!! Great place . The hookah is amazing , the staff is even better . Great location. Hookah is smooth, tea is fantastic . Oh and the baklava ?????? Jesus probably one of the best I've ever had. The owner is friendly , listened to every music request . Highly recommended . read more

The vibe here is really chill. They have comfortable seating both inside out outside on the patio. I really liked the music selections - a mix between house and dance music but not too aggressive. They have light refreshments including chips and drink and the staff are really nice. They cater to you. I went on a weekday between about 7 and 8 and when I arrived there was no one there and I pretty much had the entire place to myself. (That was awesome). Then just a few other ppl came in and we social distanced. Everyone that came in was very chill and pretty much kept to themselves. No one was loud/ rude/ inconsiderate of the space. I got the exotic blend and I must say it had a great taste. If you are a fan of not only Hookah lounges but places with great vibes and atmosphere, this is the place for you. read more

I tried this spot out pre-pandemic, and have visited since it opened back up. I love the ambiance they created with the beautiful Moroccan lights and bright fabric on the ceiling. They play chill music and the crowd is pretty mellow as well. The couches are comfy too. The taller guy that works the register and helps with the coal/hookah's is really nice and fixes your hookah for you when it tastes harsh. The only thing I wish is that they served cocktails! One suggestion I had that might bring in a fun crowd is for them to do Friday/Saturday kick back events with a DJ. I think that would be really fun to attend! read more

The only hookah Lounge I'll go to! The staff is amazing and very helpful! Great flavors, great vibes

Hookah was ok not as strong which is ok cus i jus like to chill but the need to work on their music! They were playing music off of Youtube and kept playing old school hip hop.
