Went here for the first time last night and thoroughly enjoyed my time. It was a weekday night, so…read moreit was nice and pretty empty when my girlfriends and I were there from about 6PM to around 9. More people do seem to come in later in the night and its an eclectic crowd. My girlfriends told me they come here a lot to study and to do their work, so its a super chill spot where you happen to be able to smoke hookah. Their bowls are really long lasting, and the coals are changed out right on time. They do serve a couple of snacks and a couple cold beverages as well, but if you're really hungry, I've heard the Mediterranean spot next door is good and the bakery on the other side also has delicious desserts that you can bring in as well. Will definitely become a repeat spot when I want to just have a chill night with girlfriends and chit chat.

I've tried hookah at a couple of places and really didn't like the taste in my mouth and throat. This by far is my fav hookah lounge now. They have beer as well and good music. Thank you.

Another friend came to join us and shared the bowl. I purchased a water and relaxed by watching the movie the mummy. There were multiple screens with a game and then the movie on them.

The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us pick the perfect flavor mix -- it was smooth, flavorful, and lasted a long time without getting harsh. Drinks were great, music was on point, and everything felt clean and well-organized. You can tell they really care about quality and customer experience here. Definitely one of the best hookah spots I've been to -- will 100% come back and recommend to friends!

Great Caesar's ghost, Tabac Hookah Lounge is a revelation…read more I entered Tabac seeking a place to relax... and I emerged in a state of bliss normally reserved for people floating on clouds or winning Emmys. The hookah flavors were smooth, rich, and dangerously delicious--the kind of clouds that make you pause, nod approvingly, and say, "Yes. This was the correct life choice." Each pull was flavorful perfection, balanced and aromatic like a well-delivered evening news sign-off. And then--the gyro. Oh my. Thinly sliced, juicy, expertly seasoned, wrapped with the confidence of a dish that knows exactly who it is. One bite and I knew: this gyro did not come to play games. It came to dominate. Tabac somehow manages to be both laid-back and impressive, the rare lounge where you can unwind and eat like royalty. I reclined, I exhaled, I contemplated ordering another gyro simply to see if joy had a limit. Tabac, you've won my heart, my taste buds, and a solid chunk of my evening. Stay smoky, my friends.

I returned calmly to ask why I was being denied entry. I did not raise my voice or cause a…read moredisturbance. I simply requested clarification. No issue was raised the night of my visit. There was no warning and no request to leave at the time. The explanation given afterward was inconsistent. During my visit, a family member asked whether meat being served outside was pork due to dietary restrictions. After a brief religious disclosure, the tone of the interaction shifted noticeably. Shortly thereafter, I was denied entry without clear explanation. I also raised a concern regarding unwanted physical contact from a man associated with ownership. That concern was dismissed rather than addressed. Another guest's bill was comped to resolve a situation, while mine was not. The handling of concerns appeared inconsistent. After posting my original review, I was informed that I had "24 hours" to remove it or I would face criminal allegations. I categorically deny any such accusation. If anyone genuinely believed unlawful conduct occurred, the appropriate course would be to contact law enforcement -- not pressure a customer to remove a review. I was also warned about the potential misuse of prior card information. Any handling of customer financial data should comply with applicable laws and standards. On Super Bowl Sunday, I attempted to return in good faith to clarify concerns and was told I was banned without explanation. I am sharing my experience as it occurred.

Giving it 3 stars because the bathrooms are DISGUSTING. There's only 2 unisex bathrooms and they are often clogged up. If it isn't clogged up, there's no toilet paper or it's just trashed. Sometimes the door lock is broken too and won't lock properly. They have been doing some renovations to their furniture but not the bathroom. It's so gross. The specialty drinks are really good. Especially when the bartender Chase is there. My favorite is the Pink Lagoon. It'll sneak up on you because it is made with tequila. It's like an alcoholic pink drink with the coconut cream, guava and pineapple. Pricy with drinks averaging $15-20 and they have an automatic 18% surcharge on weekends (that is not tip). Food is great. Some of the best wings downtown. The lamb chops are really good too. I wouldn't get the wagyu sliders. It wasn't good. It tasted like an average slider advertised to be fancier since it's "Wagyu". I've had better sliders elsewhere for much cheaper. Save your $30. Parking here is horrible because it's in the heart of gaslamp. Horton plaza parking is probably your best bet if you can't find street parking.
