Checked out Pure Lounge and Café for the first time, and it was a good time! It's tucked in a shopping plaza next to Target in North Druid Hills, which made parking super easy (and it's free). There was a security guard checking IDs, but it also made me feel safer parking there, so no complaints. The lounge itself is pretty spacious, with mostly sectional seating that can fit at least 8 people--definitely great for groups. I went on a Friday night around 11 p.m., and the crowd was just right. It wasn't overly packed or rowdy, but people were still having fun, and the music was really good. My friends and I had already eaten, so we just ordered hookah, which was only $25--super reasonable, and it was decent quality. The server came around to check on us every so often, which was nice. I think the lady who checked us out was Meron, and she was cool and efficient. Overall, great place for hookah, music, and a chill vibe. I'd definitely come back to try their drinks and maybe check out the food next time! read more

Pure Cafe & Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place will try to finesse you by adding things to your tab and making you pay for items you didn't order. Please be very careful and check your bill every 10 minutes just to make sure they're not adding anything extra. I was upset, but I'm just going to dispute the entire charge since there are clearly some crooks involved. read more

$20 for a shot of casa is actually fckn crazy like the cocktails not even that much and I didn't even ask for a double or anything never going back that's weird read more

Overpriced. Ivermectin can definitely prepare better hookah in the comfort of my own home. What will say is, I did enjoy my drink but it wasn't good enough that I'd return to this establishment. read more

Service was fine until they started getting busy. Seems like this is the only lounge open past 12 on Sundays. There wasn't a server established as we kept getting a different person that asked us if we were doing ok. We ordered a 2nd round of drinks and literally waited an hour for them while the tables around us kept getting their drinks..unorganized, overhyped. Ambiance is 6/10 read more

Hi! Our initial server Lena was very uninterested in helping out my party of 6. We were sat outside near a cigarette smoke & she did not accommodate our party for better seating. Also when we ordered food , she did not ask us if we wanted chopped or whole salmon in our pasta. On top of that she did not come back to check on us or ask if everything was ok. Milcah was very helpful and was able to take care of us. I think Lena should work on her approach and her attitude , she was not inviting and we did not feel welcome with her service. Millay we thank you and appreciate your time and attention!! read more

They put a serious damper on my birthday and I can't get that day back. It started with calling to inquire about the purchase of a section. The woman on the phone was short and unfriendly. I paid the deposit over the phone for the largest section in the club and it felt like I was inconveniencing her by calling. The night of the party (Saturday night) they would not allow my guests to sit in my section before my arrival and would not explain why, to me or to my guests. I arrive and my server is friendly initially but quickly develops an attitude. Again, I'm not sure why as I already paid a deposit and I informed them of how many people were attending. I designate a person for the server to talk to so that way I can enjoy my guests. She still insists on talking to me for the simplest of things. I was promised a free hookah for ordering the largest section in the club, of course I didn't get it. They close down early (!!!) I pay cash, OVER the 20% gratuity already included and left. My party and I are standing outside as we were not allowed to wait inside for our Ubers. Suddenly, security is demanding that I come back inside because I was "short on the bill." After coming back inside they realize they miscounted. I demand the extra tip I had initially left due to their rudeness. I receive my change & I receive no apology, the bartender just instructed the guard to "show them to the door and lock it behind them." Birthdays happen once a year. Im so sad I spent it here. read more

I LOVE ASHLEY AND KARAOKE TUESDAY!!! You guys have to try the hookah The drinks The DJ The vibe Best place in north Atlanta With the best servers read more

I came here on a Monday night for the crabs and to have drinks with friends the vibe was really nice. The crowd wasn't packed at all which I kinda liked the d.j was okay, but he kept switching songs he would play 1 minute of a song and switch it up,but overall it's a really nice place I would visit it again read more

I like to give honest reviews and don't threaten people with bad yelp reviews. I read reviews before coming to this place. Unfortunately, I don't think things have changed from what people have already said. Bar staff was not wearing masks. For 18% gratitude included automatically in your bill, service was sub par. They brought out our hookah and had us prepare it instead of preparing it themselves. You'll get better service at Olive Garden. Sex on the beach hookah flavor was great and so was the Pure Special cocktail. It won't be enough however to intrigue me to going back. I'm give three stars because the bartenders were really nice. read more

This place was a very nice and relaxed spot to smoke hookah and have a drink. The chicken tenders were very soft and seasoned well. They were actually some of the best I ever had. The best part was the 5 star service from our main waitress who was attentive and friendly. When our waitress was gone various staff went out of their way to check on our table. This lounge is awesome and I have to mention the music was a mix of reggae and afro beats early in the evening and hip-hop / R&B later through the night. So far this experience in Atlanta is by far the best with the picks I have followed because of Yelp. read more

Food and happy hour is good ! It's freezing cold though so bring a coat! We told the staff several times but they didn't adjust the temperature so we left earlier than expected read more

I'm giving my first visit 4 stars because I think this is a sexy place worth visiting. The DJ was excellent, the patrons were good-looking and polite. My lemon pepper wings were okay - they came quick, were super hot but a bit on the salty side. It definitely feels like a couples or group joint though. I'm dropping a point because the bartender just needs to do better. When security is nicer and cooler than your bartender you need a new bartender. My buddy showed up and I warned him but he said I like to over-tip my bartenders... I said just wait a lil bit and let's see what you think... Well, she didn't earn any more from him and only got the 18% they force on you. The drinks were stiff though so kudos there. read more

I was here out of town with some girlfriends for the weekend. The happy hour was so reasonable, and the hookah was great! We love the blueberry mint flavor! As far ad drinks, we enjoyed our tequila sunrises, and margaritas! They also had really good jerk chicken, and wings!! The ambiance is lovely, and the vibe is relaxing. The staff was chill, and gave us good nightlife ideas for the remainder of our stay. The music was also upbeat! Will be back! read more

Pure Lounge is indeed a hidden treasure in the Brookhaven area. It is small in size but packs a big punch in style, service, and music! I came on a Friday night at around 11:30 PM and it wasn't packed but the music was lively & the customers seemed very satisfied. They were dancing & having a great time, which is always a good sign. I love the decor of this place...it is very trendy and clean. It has about 4 or 5 large booths, along the wall, for groups or for an intimate party of 2 & seating around the bar. It also has a nice patio with seating along the railing. The bar is surrounded by flatscreen tv's & bar stools with back support, which I appreciate! The DJ: Whoever the DJ was, on this night (8/11/17), deserves an award. His transitions were seamless from song to song & his playlist was packed with the latest Hip Hop of today & even the late 90's/early 2000's. He took me back to my old college days while staying current, which is hard to do. And he didn't belabor a song...he played it just long enough for you to get into but not get too bored with it! AND the dj's music is linked to the actual music videos of the song, which was dope because a lot of lounges/clubs will play the song & have a movie playing or videos of other songs, which is extremely annoying! Service: The service is quick...the bartenders could be a little more friendly but they aren't bad. Just an occasional smile when greeting customers would go a long way but again the service isn't bad. I ordered a drink and some hookah & was surprised that I'd spent less than $30, which was a treat for me because hookah, in this city, can be very expensive and not very flavorful. The hookah lasted a long time & the drink was made just right...I don't remember the name of it but it was a fruity drink but it wasn't too sweet & it wasn't overpowered by too much alcohol. Pure Lounge is an excellent place to come and pregame before a night on the town or if you don't want to be bothered with the overcrowded, overpriced, & underwhelming club scene! I am so glad to know that this lounge is in my neighborhood and I will be back again! read more

This place isn't all it's cracked up to be. My first experience was better than my last. My first experience it was good, I had drinks and hookah I would say between my boyfriend I about 6 drinks all together plus hookah, equaled to about $100 but the service was good and drinks were strong which had us coming back again to return. Our last visit which was, July 5th,2019 at about 8:00pm was awful. We had a server, I don't recall her name but she was wearing a short black dress and sneakers and shoulder length natural hair was our server. She first approached us to ask if we wanted hookah or drinks. After the second round of drinks and we received our hookah, she did not return at all to see if we were doing alright... wanted another round.. or nothing. It was awful, In fact she was at the bar smoking hookah with her coworkers and other customers just socializing. I had to get up out my seat and walk over to her, where a lady with dreads stopped me and asked if I was okay.. I asked for the check since we had been sitting there for 30 mins or more without service. Like we were invisible or something. When we got the bill, I see they added 18% gratuity onto the check for TWO PEOPLE. So that's why I see, their overall service and being attentive to every customer doesn't matter because they're getting paid regardless. I never had an experience like that there, and it was sad because I referred others to this spot. But after this experience, I won't be returning and will tell my friends to not do so as well. read more

I visited this establishment on a Sunday around 9 pm. It has a pretty chill vibe which I like. Not many people were there. No one was inside, but there were a few people on the patio. This was fine with me seeing as how I didn't feel like being around a major crowd anyway and the weather was nice. They had a pretty good mix of music playing on the inside. It's loud, so it would be hard to hear the person next to you. The patio is much quieter, but it doesn't have a good view though...just Taco Bell, Target, and the parking lot :( There was only one young lady working, but she provided decent service. The bad part about being here is that they were not serving alcohol...I don't know the reason behind this, but I like to drink while smoking my hookah, so this was very very disappointing. I'm unsure if it was BYOB, but it would have definitely brightened my night if it were. Hopefully, the owner can implement this when they are not able to serve alcohol. I'm guessing if would have been difficult since she was the only server available. We didn't order a food, nor did we get a menu. I didn't see anyone else eating or smell any food, so I assumed they were not cooking. I did see 2 other workers (not servers) taking a break in the back, so maybe food was available. The hookah was great! It cost us $25 (Strawberry Mint). At one point, it did not pull correctly and the server fixed it right away and she gave us more coal later on. She also informed us that ladies night is on Wednesday. $15 hookahs and $5 drinks. As others mentioned, there was a service fee of 18% which honestly wasn't too bad, seeing as how we only got a hookah. She was able to split our bill which was a plus. I do plan to check this place out on a Wednesday. I love low key spots like this. Hopefully, we can get some drinks next time. I'll update my review after I give it another try. I will say it's work checking out if you're looking for a chill spot. Just don't go on Sunday if you're expecting alcohol. read more

ATMOSPHERE: The vibe in this place is cool...somewhat upscale, cute and relaxed. The venue is definitely not as upscale looking as the picture but nonetheless it was cute. The environment has limited seating so definitely be prepared to stand up. We went on a Friday around 8p so the booths were still available. The music was good. "Lounge style" so yes it is loud. FOOD/DRINKS: I did notice a full bar, although seemingly limited in choice options. The price points were average for a club. I asked for a whiskey martini and whatever the bartender made was delish! I ordered the chicken fingers and was completely disappointed. I'd called weeks before coming and was told that the kitchen was under renovation so they were only selling wings and panini's. I was surprised that there were more options when I came...and with a newly renovated kitchen, I expected much better. The chicken was dry and lacking in flavor. The tasted like they were simply "warmed" up....like they were old. We asked the server about it and sure enough when she went to talk to the kitchen staff, they told her that those were leftover from the day before! Who does that?! They offered to make fresh fingers but after about 30 min and not chicken, we cancelled. SMH. HOOKAH: Decent flavor options. Not overly expensive like some places in ATL. It was good. SERVICE: SLOW.....yes at 8pm.....SLOW. The bartender was also the server and she just couldn't handle it all. They definitely seem understaffed. We needed our checks separated and we were asked to mark on the check who had what. After doing so, she STILL couldn't get the checks separated correctly. That was another 20 minute ordeal. PARKING: No valet but this place is located in a small parking lot. TIP: Go for Happy hour and plan to stay. That way you can have a seat. Don't expect much on the food or service. Tell your server at the beginning if you have separate checks. read more

Nice lil spot...will be coming back Fgood was great. I had the tenders with fries Inside was clean and pleasant read more

Overall good low key spot to enjoy the game,music,and friends. I went during happy hour with a friend. We tired the lemon pepper wings, salmon,and lamb. All of which was good. My only complaint is that they lamb was a tad too salty, but when eaten with the basmati rice the flavored balanced out. Great prices on hookah. Dj played all the hits. I will definitely be back. read more

I came here on a Sunday night with a girlfriend. I don't typically go out late on Sundays and I noticed that many of the places I do frequent close at midnight on Sunday. My friend helped me do a quick google search and we seen that this place didn't close until 2 AM. We were greeted immediately and it was open seating. A server came to us immediately to get our drink orders. Service was the best I've ever had in Atlanta ! 3 ladies checked on us throughout the night and made sure our cups were filled. We didn't eat, but the food they brought to the table beside us looked really good! Overall it was a nice ambiance, the music was a mix of trap trap, and early 2000s. I would definitely return here for a chill vibe. Oh and the hookahs are $20 which is definitely a plus ! read more

Spot is ok dj is the bomb but, I think the crowd is a little young for me. Looks like they are still trying to get a good vibe in this spot so hopefully this will be a very nice spot.. read more

I came here to watch the NBA finals game and it is a nice quaint, and intimate bar. I got the queen of sex hookah, which is really good! We were able to get a booth seat pretty easily (coming in at 9:30pm). Great for a date, or outing with friends. Plenty of planking in the lot as well. read more

Overpriced. I got two drinks, a bottled water, & a hookah. My bill total was $73...unacceptable.

Final got a chance to check out this spot. It is definitely a hidden gem. It's a real chill, laid back atmosphere with a great DJ playing great music. The drinks are ok and the hookah is good. The wait staff was very attentive with great customer service. We sat inside( they have a nice size outside patio). They have food if you want to eat( we already ate before we got there) but the food looked delicious. I'll go back again. read more

I very rarely write bad reviews about places. But this was the worst experience I've had in a long time.... everything wasn't all bad but let me start out with the worst. THE FOOD there is a very small menu , which is fine makes it easier to choose. However , we ordered the wings. These wings were so fatty I felt like I was tearing apart slime. They didn't taste like anything but grease. We ordered fries with it assuming it came with it and it was 5.99 for FRIES! that is ridiculous! The wings were only 6.99..... not only that but the hookah was gross! I'm pretty sure none of the waitresses knew what they were doing. It was all bad. Just , if you have a choice pick another place please.... read more

Amy Amy Amy/ Jasmine Jasmine Jasmine/ Milcah Milcah Milcah/ Shalom Shalom Shalom. They made my night worthwhile. Would recommend anyone!

The atmosphere was top notch , celebrated my birthday here! It's a vibe! Nice drinks the dj was awesome

Will never go back to this spot! Went in on a Tuesday while I was in the area and I was the only customer in the whole place. The bartender acted as though I was bothering her ordering a drink and food but she took my order then left the establishment completely. The hookah lady brought my food to the table and told me the bartender would be back. My already overpriced $13 crown and coke came with an additional $3.49 charge for the coke in my drink. It wasn't bad enough that I go charged for the coke, but the bartender turned my bill into $35 when she added a 18% gratuity. I could understand if you have a group of eight or more, but I was alone, the place was empty, and she gave lousy service. WILL NOT BE BACK!!! read more

Connie is the best!!!! She keeps us LIT every time we walk in !! Good be hitting everytime, hookah is never a miss. You can't go wrong coming to PURE!! read more

Cool spot. Chill, relaxed, okay hookah and environment. Sat outside on the patio, the couches were uncomfortable but convenient I guess. I ordered some wings and fries and it was just okay. They were the big wings not small so just keep that in mind. The servers kept coming out of no where to check on us. I'm not sure who are server was since it was like 3 different ladies throughout our time there. Overall, it was chill, low key, not high maintenance for a Saturday. There was hardly anyone in there. Go if you just are bored and want to get out the house. read more

This location have a nice Vibe and a friendly atmosphere. The food was okay but definitely not worth the cost. The drinks were watered down and definitely not worth the cost. The service was okay, they were very attentive and visited our booth frequently to check to see if we required anything. Parking was definitely available. The music was up-to-date and the DJ was decent. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed myself for this nice outing on a Friday evening. read more

Pure Cafe & Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The atmosphere is great! I recently accepted a new job position so me and my friends wanted to celebrate in a chill and fun environment, this was definitely it! Great music, nice comfy couches, and the food was absolutely delicious! My only cons would be the customer service, our waitress was not very personable and looked like she hated her job. It was very awkward when we would say "thank you" and she would just walk away. As a matter of fact, most of the waitresses looked like they hated being there and it totally ruined the vibe. All of the customers were having a great time and the waitresses would just look at us like "please go home" lol. All in all, I'll definitely be back! read more

So after my favorite lounge in Atlanta closed, I decided to go on a mission to find something equivalent. I discovered pure lounge and find it to be decent. I frequent pure lunch twice a month because I love their hookah. The hookah is by far, the best I've had and lasts a long time. I don't care for the drinks, so whenever I go I keep it simple by ordering my go to drink crown and coke. Every time I go they seem to expand their menu and change food prices. My first time frequenting the lunch I ordered wings for $10 not including the fries. So I paid $5 extra for the fries. The wings were baked and pretty good but definitely not worth $10 for 6. Since then, they've added quesadilla and sandwiches to their menu but I had yet to try any of their other foods. From what I've heard it can get pretty crowded on weekends around 10:00. I always make it a point to go during the week after a long day of school or work just to relax and be in a calm atmosphere. It is often not crowded on weeknights between 9:00-10:00 so if you're a person that wants to avoid crowds this is the best time to do. On the flip side if you're a person that likes crowds your best bet is to go on the weekend. I don't know if they charge cover fees on weekends or for males. But I do know there is no entry fee during the week. Parking is great and their are plenty of spaces to go around. read more
