With spacious sections, affordable bottle packages and the best DJ with the tunes you are sure to have an amazing time! I loved the music selection with a mix of hip hop, reggae, reggaeton and afro beats which kept me dancing all night. Their kitchen is also open all night with a selection of bar bites. I just had dinner so I wasn't all that hungry and only ordered some wings. But the food was good and they have plenty more food to help you soak up the alcohol you've been drinking all night Thanks @blend So be sure to check them out save this post and follow for more NYC recs Things to do nyc, late night things to do, hookah lounge nyc, hookah lounge queens, date night, Late night spots nyc, clubs nyc clubs in nyc, clubs in queens, places to go ny, places to go queens

Blend Lounge offers a pretty good experience overall. One of my best friends decided to celebrate…read moreher birthday @ BlendLounge on Dec 10th. I'm not sure how easy or hard it was to book a table as she did that on her own. We showed upon a little before 11:30pm and got in with no issues. It was about 5 of us and we all RSVP'd using their eventbrite link, which states all ladies free before 11:30pm. The establishment is quite modern - colored lights, a garden wall photo-op, and plush seating. Although its a large room, it was there were tables and section in almost every area, I didn't see the dance floor. We were immediately catered too upon arrival, but we received a terrible section. We were seated by the bar, right next to the bathroom and a speaker, which was behind a short wall/section. It looked like our section was an afterthought to take advantage of the empty space. We didn't complain but I wish they had given us a heads up that the entire section wasn't for us, we were technically only offered half the section. This became inconvenient when they split the section and offered it to another group. The couch seating only allowed 3 people to sit comfortably, if separating the tables. It was 5 people in my group, including me. 4 of us squished up on the couch, while I grabbed a stool/partition to sit on. One of the staff asked me to get up off the small stool so they could partition the tables. I simply responded "Well, where am I going to sit?" and she walked away with no response. Another staff ended up bringing a new partition. The group came over and it was so packed and uncomfortable. I guess the staff realized this and gave the group some options but eventually, they were moved. Another group ended up coming towards the end and it worked better since the party was in full swing and many of us were not sitting anymore. In addition to spacing, location was an issue. We were sitting next to the bathroom. Aside from the constant door opening, there was a line eventually and people would come over and boldly sit in our section, as if we weren't there and paid for our section. Very annoying. They need to work on that. Moving alone, the atmosphere was pretty good. The DJ played a great mix of hip-hop, R&B (including some 90s classics), dancehall, and soca. We were up and moving for most of the night. The crowd is a mix of maybe mid-20s all the way up to late 30s, so a nice variety. Dress code doesn't seem to be enforced, so I would take it lightly. I saw girls in winter boots and body suits, so take that as a guide lol. Staff are nice for the most part. They came over to our table with lights and sparklers to wish my friend a happy birthday; a very great touch for the occasion. We did not order from the bar as we had a bottle package - 2 bottles of alcohol, 1 bottle of champagne, and an appetizer. The 2 bottles of alcohol are specific to options they provide, anything not listed is an upcharge. We ended up paying the upcharge as the option we wanted wasn't available. The appetizers feature basic bar food. We opted for buffalo wings. I don't think they prepare them on the premises. They were kind of cold, but tasted alright. We also ordered hookah but I did not try it. Now, I just wanted to circle back to the layout of this place. Again, its a large room with multiple sections. My friend wanted to get on a dance floor and mingle a bit. When we walked thru the crowd trying to find the dance floor we realized, there was no dance floor. It's just tables and sections all around. People were hugging the wall, some empty space by the bar, and the walkway/area between the entrance and the section area, but there really isn't a place to dance. You're confined to dancing in your section or the empty space by the bar. Now I get that it's a lounge, but it gave more of a club vibe, so I was surprised that there wasn't an actual open dance floor. It seemed that perhaps what is or what has been the dance floor was the space where the free standing bar tables were. I'm guessing that's a way to get people to purchase sections (?) Overall, we had a good time. If I could give 3.5 stars I would. The highlights were the music and lively crowd, but the seating and location issues were unappealing. I'd return but I would not book a section. Not worth it at all.

Took 45 min for appetizers to come out. Server seated us directly behind another table with a…read morehookah despite the entire rest of the place being empty, so we had smoke in our faces for 20+ min until asking to move. It only took 20 min to ask to move bc our waitress was nowhere to be found for that duration. Chef kept walking out of the kitchen for minutes at a time instead of, I don't know, making the meals we ordered. Service was trash! Sucks bc the food was actually fairly good.

The security was cool, but tried to hustle us at the door asking for $20 to speed up our table…read morerequest. The hookah was not made correctly and had my friends and I choking like crazy. The food was not well prepared. It tasted like we were given old cornerstone wings that had been microwaved and resold. The bottle girl/waitress/swindler attempted to sell us a fake bottle of Don Julio that was already opened! We bought two bottles and she kept telling us to wait for the second one. Good thing my bro noticed! It looked like they attempted to use a resealing machine. The place is a beautiful place with a backyard where you can smoke. But it has left a horrible taste in my mouth. Fire the staff, the owner apologized to us and said that is not how he gets down. What's even sadder was my friend hosted for them that night. They showed him how they get down and the owner scolded her. But what if it was someone else who never noticed. Be very careful!

Decided to randomly go here with my friend since we were both off of work based on the ads that was…read morepopping up on ig . When you go to their Instagram page they promote free hookah and happy hour. when we got there most of the drinks included in the video was not on happy hour(false marketing/promo) they also didn't have any food on happy hour which was interesting since they show several food items in multiple videos . The tables are wobbly which caused our drinks to slode off the table and kept spilling. I asked the waitress and manager if they have a piece of cardboard so I can put under the table to keep it steady they both said no with out even looking. Restaurants and lounges usually always have random cardboard due to ordering in bulk. the hookah only lasted about 3 minutes I assumed because it was free, we ordered an additional hookah when happy house was over which was not free and it was horrible. When the bill came the gratuity was listed and included in the bill when my friend asked if it's included the waitress literally looked her in her face and said no lol I work in restaurant management so all I could do was laugh. The Food and music was actually good but we will not be returning

It was a bit empty when we arrived; there was a small group on the window side, which was surprising because it wasn't too early. We were seated right away and had a good spot to watch the game. Looking around, the decor is really nice, and I like the hookah displays, which they had some really fancy ones too! We placed our order for drinks and hookah, which didn't take long; the drinks were good. The hookah was good but a bit too strong, so I didn't really get to enjoy it much. Since it was a Saturday, we mainly came for the belly dancing performance, but after waiting and finally asking about it, was told it would be much later, and we were already there for almost 2 hours. Keep in mind they're pricey too...

If your interested in taking your buddies or going with a large group to a restaurant that can provide Good Flavorful dishes, Cool but tasty drinks and give you ability to enjoy a smooth Flavorful Hookah all at the same time well look no further than one and only The Platinum Hookah The name is very catchy, in my opinion. This kinda name is given to restaurants back in Pakistan where street people would go to for a quick bite but upon entering you are amazed with how upscale this restaurant is and upon ordering food, the presentation makes you feel like your in a fancy place not a typical Hookah spot. I would highly recommend this spot, and don't forget to drink special mocktails by Joseph, he makes amazing mocktails For Hookah, my friends liked the Icy Paan and I liked the Double Apple For Drinks I really liked the Mango Mojito under Mocktail section. I am definitely coming again

There truly aren't any limitations to the type of drink you can receive! I grabbed a handful of mojito's for $5 before the deal was over -- Score! As the drinks were flowing and the night was progressing, the one thing that kept popping through my mind was " WTH is the DJ playing". He not only played the entire song, he mixed reggae to rap to reggaeton in the oddest of ways. One moment, you are in a really great groove with your friend and the next your vibe is entirely gone... This is not the highlight -- They played funny Instagram videos on a screen with a projector, IN THE LOUNGE... What is god holy name is this place doing? You have 90% of the room looking to catch a good vibe from the weird music and 10% laughing over the music to random videos... There is apparently a huge conflict of interest. I want to also mention, there was only one bartender and one waitress. The waitress struggled a lot that night with forgetting orders, or keeping the customers updated in regards to wait time etc.. I don't fault her as there should never only be ONE person working the floor at any establishment. Rough night for her and a lot of respect. I will come back because of the price point, but my expectations are extremely LOW.

Drinks and hookah were good as well. They are not cheap with the liquor. Staff were all polite and attentive. We all had a pleasant time and plan to go again.

My food was good, no complaints there. Though, no one checked up on my party to see if we needed anything at all. THE NERVE of the 20% gratuity for the lack of service rendered. I also had to go back to the register to dispute charges on my bill. Ordered wings and mashed potatoes. Only wings came out. No one said anything about the mash nor was anything else offered. But lo and behold, the mash was still on the bill. When I brought it to the waiters attention, she said "oh yeah, there's no more mash. I'll take it off". But where was the communication when you knew there was no mashed potatoes? The vibes were good.... I believe there is a patio in the back for the SMOKERS.... The bathroom was nasty...
