    Really solid hookah spot. The vibe is immaculate -- chill lighting, comfy and well-maintained sofas, and great music. Hookah is affordable and hits well, with a nice variety of flavors. Big projector screens on both sides make it a great hangout for game nights. Only downside: bathrooms could be cleaner, but still manageable. Definitely one of the better lounges around.

    One of the top best hookah lounges in the south bay area in San Jose, good vibes and opens late daily even on holidays

    Ill get straight to the point. PARKING: spacious especially because most businesses are closed by the time you want to hookah. Called ahead and asked if they take reservations and the guy said they do but when we arrived everyone looked confused, you can walk in and they will make space for you. (You might have to share a table if your party is small) HOOKAH: tons of flavors and combos ! We got the tropical flavor And my friend got the berry splash! Both are good! SMOOOOTH HOOKAH. STAFF: attentive, constantly changing coals and making sure everything is good. MUSIC: they are 2 large screens and multiple tvs , they play all kinds of music videos, from rap, r&b, and even some cultural music. Its a vibe. Bathrooms: CLEAN AND FUNCTIONAL PRICE: we paid $55 for both hookahs and $5 for a redbull , they serve like 3 food items and they sell water and red bulls . Its a chill vibe . No dance floor. Just chill! (this place does NOT sell alcohol it is against city regulations) or something . If its busy you might have to share a booth with someone. When we arrived there as a party of 4 we had to share the booth with one of the workers and his buddies until a table cleared up they moved and we had the booth to ourselves! Still a good time

    Great place to hangout with friends or even alone ! They offer variety of flavors. The staff is really nice and friendly. They do allow only 2 people per hookah. Always fun to hangout here

    We got the second to last one of the buzz section. Above the striker. I forgot the name but it was a good mixture

    First timer here yesterday and it was pretty cool. My friend and I got there around 830pm, empty at first but after an hour ppl came in. The music playing was a mixture of some R&B and rap. Love the whole ambiance of the room. The staff was nice and really good customer service. I will be coming back soon

    The interior and ambiance is so nice and their hookahs are SO GOOD! Best flavors I love are paan, rose, and big boi (watermelon mint but tastes like jolly ranchers). Service is on point!!! Music is mix of desi, Arabic, Iranian, Afghan, and hip hop, Spanish too. Seriously so good, so happy this place opened!

    Highly recommend the $29 hookah option and tropical mix!

    As someone who has been to many hookah lounges in the East Bay, writing this review for Pan Hookah Lounge was a must-I had an EXCEPTIONAL experience! From the moment I entered, I was blown away by the elegant and captivating decor. The couches were the most comfortable I had ever sat in. The custom lit tables were a great touch and I outright love any sparkle. As I sat down, I was immediately greeted by the owner, Sam, and managers, Hela and Afreen. I know my hookah flavors but wanted to try something new and they all suggested a few flavors based off of what I like. I appreciated their patience as I made a decision and clear expertise. Let me tell you...both mixes (tropical and breeze) were amazing!! The hookah itself ($29 option) was smooth and had thick smoke just like I like it! You could tell from every inhalation that they properly clean their hookahs which is not the case everywhere else. Another plus was that they had already started the hookahs before bringing it to our table so we enjoyed a good smoking session from the first hit. No other lounge has done this before. All competitors should stop here to learn a thing or two. You can tell that management truly cares about their product, service, and customer's experience, which is very refreshing. If you love hookah as much as I do, make sure to add Pan Hookah lounge to the top of your list! Thank you Hela, Afreen, and Sam for an enjoyable time. I can't wait to be back soon and try your other location-Double Apple!

    We went there for lunch to celebrate my nephew's 50th birthday. The lunch menu was very limited so…read morewe all had the chicken sandwich. It was ok. The 4 stars review is for our waitress. She was very attentive. When we got there at 12:30pm we all decided to sit inside since it was a little cold on the patio. After about an hour the sun came out and we decided to move outside on the patio. That was short lived since it got so hot and no shade so we all went back inside. There were 2 other brave customers who stayed outside the entire time. The view from the patio is spectacular. I'm sure it's even nicer during the night when all the high rise buildings are all lit up. I'm sure it's nice to see all the lights during Christmas. I would go back at dinner to experience the night views from the patio. One suggestion I have is for Shelby's to provide some awnings or shades, and I think they would attract more daytime customers. Overall a nice venue, and will definitely be back to try the dinner menu.

    I went here last weekend, and while the views were amazing, unfortunately the service was terrible…read more It was a cold San Francisco night, and we asked FOUR separate times for the heater near us to be turned on. After finally asking a fifth person, we were told, "Oh, I think it's broken." Why wasn't that communicated to us the first time we asked instead of having us sit outside in the cold with little blankets waiting? The service overall was extremely slow. Everything took so long that we eventually had to go inside just to pay our tab. There was also an uncomfortable inconsistency with how guests were treated. I noticed several people were vaping outside, yet only one person was singled out by a host and very rudely told, "DON'T DO THAT." The issue wasn't that they were asked to stop. It was the tone and the fact that multiple other people were doing the exact same thing without being addressed. I've been to several rooftop bars here in San Francisco and in other cities, and unfortunately this was by far one of the worst service experiences I've had. I realize the last time I was here was pre COVID, when this rooftop was Everdene at the Virgin Hotel. I was here for a company event back then, and the experience from then to now is truly night and day. Beautiful views, but the service really took away from the entire experience.
