This place is located in a plaza, with a billboard that just says Hookah Lounge so might be easy to miss by first timers in the area. Parking is in the plaza, sometimes it might be full, but when we arrived, there were many spots in the front. Just make sure not to park in 30 minute marks, because there's a few of those! Walking in, I wasn't sure what to expect. There's black curtains covering the door, which makes it seem a little bit sketchy, but its super intimate! Its both indoors, and outdoors they also have a couple tables. There is no hostess, so just take a seat wherever you'd like and you will be approached by a worker or owner. Comfortable couches, that are great for group seating! The whole vibe of the place is very club like with the black and red, and chandelier like lighting. I love love love the music! For once a hookah lounge is playing loud enough music, with all good vibes. The best part about the lounge is the air ventilation! I can't do indoor hookah lounges, but this one was really comfortable, even though we were indoors, it felt like we were outside. There was constant air flow. Facilities are clean, hookah hits really good! Big ups to you guys! My hookah lasted for 3 hours with 3 rounds of charcoal and I didn't even need to get a refill. It never burned or went bad either. Btw: There is no food here, but there is a FatBurger in the plaza and is open late! You are allowed to get food from outside and bring it in and eat it at the lounge. There is also a Chinese place across the street. That's a big plus! - Overall great place and I'm sure it'll grow into something greater!

Would definitely come back!

I wanted to show this to the other couple we were with, but it was already full. (Around 8pm) We sat outside and while not as luxurious, I have no complaints. There are heaters and they regularly check on you to the point where they don't even leave a pair of tongs for you to adjust your coals. There's a large list of flavors and the guys seem to be very knowledgeable. We should've gone with what they recommended because my gf and I didn't really like the combination we made, but there's always next time! Our hookah still had plenty of flavor 2 hours into the night, so you know they're not skimping out on you. I wish all hookah spots were like this. Good atmosphere, great service, and reasonable prices.

The…read morevibes are immaculate, super comfortable, welcoming, and the layout is honestly one of my favorites. Every time I walk in, the employees make me feel right at home. Their shisha selection is huge. They've got all the top Russian brands like Bonche, Darkside, Kraken, Blackburn, and Musthave, plus all the American classics like Tangiers and Fumari. No matter what you're into, they have something for everyone. And the pipe selection? Crazy. Wookahs, CWPs, any cool setup you're looking for, you'll find it here. Sometimes I come here to get work done on my laptop, and other times I'm here hanging out with friends playing cards or backgammon. It fits every vibe. Highly recommend Hookah Time, one of the best lounges around!

Definitely make a reservation, weekdays are chill, but weekends get busy in the best way. The ambience is what really makes it stand out. It genuinely feels like you've stepped into Tulum the dim lighting, earthy tones, and that effortlessly elevated vibe that makes you want to stay all night. The food is solid (seriously, order the pasta), and getting there isn't a hassle with both valet and street parking options. I do wish they had something going on earlier in the week though, because a Monday night here is underrated and deserves more hype. Drinks are a highlight too. My go-to is the "Divorce Papers"--just trust me on that one. And the service? That's where they really separate themselves. Narek runs the place in a way you don't see often always present, always aware, making sure everything flows smoothly without missing a beat. It creates an experience that feels taken care of without being over the top. Overall, it's a true go-to right now. Great crowd, great music, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back. Easily one of the best spots on Ventura right now !

It's a great spot to hang out, grab a bite, and enjoy a full night of entertainment. The standout highlights: Delicious Food & Craft Cocktails: The food quality was fantastic, featuring perfectly grilled skewers alongside impressive specialty cocktails (including vibrant matcha/green concoctions and lychee-garnished drinks) that taste as good as they look. Unbeatable Entertainment: The live music set a great tone for the night, but the real highlight was the live performances--the dancers and fire acts brought so much energy to the venue! Distinct Hookah Lounge Vibe: Having hookah service throughout gives the space a social vibe with lots of guys enjoying hookah alongside their drinks. Between the vibrant music, tasty food, great drinks, and captivating live show, Rouge makes for an awesome, lively night out.

The DJ on the main floor, however, didn't seem to be mixing much and mostly replayed the same songs after about 30 minutes. The service was spectacular. We ordered three bottles, which came with a pitcher of juice and four hookahs. You could choose to add mint flavor to the hookah or leave it out, though it still had a slight hint of mint even without it. Everyone also ordered individual drinks, which were about $25 each, and the wine bottle was $85. Anything we needed was brought to us quickly. We didn't get the private belly dancers, I guess they didn't come to work. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back again for a special event.

HAHAHAHAHAH Waitress…read morethought I was an idiot! We ordered 1 hookah and 2 drinks. The machine showed $180. I am like that is kinda high. I asked her if that included gratuity. She said no, I asked again are you sure she says NO. I couldn't check the machine because before she handed to me she went all the way to the tip scree that said additional tip. I was like this SHADY af. I asked for a receipt and she said printer broken. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. So I grabbed the machine back and put my number in to get the receipt texted to me. Low and behold 22% tip and she charged us for water when I asked for tap water. I go back to her and show her the receipt and she is like oh I don't know what that is. I have never seen that before. Pleassseeeeee What a scam artist, she probably has done that to everyone there but everyone there is on a date and no one wants to be embarassed. Well IDGAF. She offered to give cash back and not tell her boss. Honestly he probably knows. Never going back. Ive been here 8 times. EVERYONE CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS!!!

The prices for the hookah are reasonable, and there is a variety of quality tobacco to choose from. It's also always been smooth throughout. I love pairing the hookah with some black tea that's served in a kettle. I haven't tried the food or other items, and haven't sat in the front of the cafe before, I just go to have hookah and tea sometimes. The owners are also very friendly. I'll definitely return back soon.
