It is an older crowd and everyone is respectful. No drama or negative energy. I would say 40 and up. Good luck with street parking (garages are near by if you don't mind a short walk). Small place, but it was not overly crowded. Several tvs and a good amount of seats. I will return. One negative thing... lack of A/C. I found a small area that has a good blower, but could only get to it after some people left... I also had my own handheld fan. Still hot...

He does this for safety as the surrounding area is rambunctious. You must bring your own drink if you are drinking alcohol. He has a set up for a small fee. The spot had a lot of seating upstairs and down. The music that night was hip hop. It was a cool vibe and the owner was nice. He sells good quality Shisha.

The vibes are right and the bartenders were nice and chatty, the only reason this place isnt "my" place and doesn't get 5 stars is because they dont make a very good dirty martini and thats like base level. I asked for it extra dirty and I could barely taste the olive brine, I actually had to have him pour more in front of me lol. Also service was a little slow. So for grabbing a quick drink with the girls sure, but staying as a regular nah.

The interior is absolutely beautiful, cozy, intimate and welcoming, with a wide variety of drinks to choose from.

That's the main reason we decided to go. The two other people I was with smoke cigars. I don't do neither one (hookah or cigars) but was willing to check it out with them. The owner was super nice and answered all of our questions. So, I would say the service was fine. However, he quickly explained how it was not a cigar lounge because the furniture would not be able to withstand the cigar smell, only the hookah one. There were approximately 10 people in the lounge, which made it "crowded". One thing I noticed was the decor. Nice furnishings and absolutely STUNNING photographs hanging on the wall. It gave a sultry vibe. They don't serve real food there, just bites. However, we didn't really inquire or stay longer than 5 minutes to eat. We had eaten at another location. Overall, if you're into hookah and a lot of smoke everywhere (in a SUPER TINY) local spot, this is your place. I don't see myself returning. There's nothing there for me.

I visited Myste for a private event, and while the space itself is very aesthetically pleasing, the…read moreoverall experience was disappointing, mainly due to the food and service. The lounge is on the smaller side, which actually worked well for the event and gave it an intimate vibe. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The menu is extremely limited, and you pretty much have to piece together a meal from a few items. I ordered the jollof rice and six-piece chicken wings. The wings were overpriced, overcooked, and had no flavor at all. The only options were sauces on the side (honey, ranch, or blue cheese), and when I specifically asked for honey drizzled on top with blue cheese on the side, that request wasn't followed. Even more frustrating, our server never came back to check on us or make sure everything was okay. The jollof rice was honestly the worst part. Instead of that rich, smoky flavor you'd expect, it tasted burnt with a harsh charcoal aftertaste. I've had jollof rice many times before, and this was nowhere close. I ended up sending it back. Because I was hungry, I forced myself to eat the wings, even though they were dry and lacked flavor. Overall, Myste Lounge has a nice look and potential, but the food and service really need improvement. A revamped menu and better attention to guests would make a huge difference.

This essentially is an open space that provides the vibes and hookah. There is a $30/pp cover and…read moreyou have to spend $25/pp in hookah or food. You bring the party - BYOB (you have to purchase their chasers) and either a shared table or if you're lucky enough, you get your own spot. Went for the first time on a Saturday night and it was ok. Every table was occupied and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Security took care of us and made sure we had somewhere to sit. The hookah was really strong so expect a buzz and the wings were really good. The service could be better - it's not like they had much to do outside of replacing coals and bringing chasers. The DJ was actually pretty good - atleast I was dancing. Might not be the greatest business model but roughly $100+ to bring your own bottles and smoke their hookah isn't bad compared to regular table service prices of $300+ min for a bottle you can get out the liquor store.

They understood our attitudes…read morewhen we were told their fees. $30 to enter, plus each person must spend $25 on food or hookah. As we stood in the non-existent line we got a peek into the lounge and it was completely empty. My sister and I were only in Baltimore for the night, we had come from a concert. It was around 9:45/10 pm. If we were in DC or southern Maryland at any place that offered good hookah it would have been packed. So this leads me to believe they are taxing customers at this establishment because they don't get many. I looked dark, empty and dingy inside. Not so appealing especially with their price demands. So we decided to call an uber and find somewhere else to go. The security did let us know it was BYOB so if you decide to go her bring your drink and chase of choice.

I also had fun talking to the bartender, who was knowledgeable about literally ALL things Baltimore (and made a mean drink as well). Highly recommend not skipping this place if you're staying at (or near) Hotel Ulysses.

I hear the wings are really good as well! The crowd had real local energy in the best way. No pretentious vibes, just friendly people and a laid back atmosphere. It feels like one of those "if you know, you know" spots. If you plan on stopping by, come early. Parking fills fast and once the bar gets moving seats disappear

They checked in us several times to pickup glasses or dishes and see if we needed anything else. The only bad thing I felt was a man sitting opposite of us who kept glaring at us. I noticed him soon as we walked in through the door. He had a look of disgust seeing us. As if we owed him a lot of money!! So as he glared we enjoyed our night!
