They've got all the neon signs and photo lighting you could imagine and most nights there's a DJ spinning mostly early 2000's and current hip-hop and r&b music with some afrobeats mixed in. In most of my experiences they are generally well staffed to handle the larger weekend crowds and from management to the servers the staff is typically very pleasant and timely in regard to service. This is probably one of the few spots that opens until 3-4am, if you're looking for something on a late night. They also host a variety of discounted events on a given day whether it be extended happy hours from 4-10pm, free hookah Monday's, or various specials for football game nights. I definitely recommend giving them a try if you're looking for something in-between lounge and club vibes with good hookah and high energy.

The service was pretty slow also Friend also noticed, many of the bottles behind the bar were empty and just on display (like college kids using empty bottles for decoration) Maybe by 945 we were told a private party was being held there and we would need to leave. Would have been nice to tell us that when we got there. A friend had just ordered Hookah maybe 25 mins before 10. Not sure if they had food. The hookah pull was very strong and not one I would like to return to. Street parking

Nomad offers no food just liquor and hookah. They also have cigars for sale but you're allowed to bring your own cigars. I had a Mango mint hookah which was considered to be one of their regular flavor options. The hookah was very flavorful and after about an hour - they changed the coals. The menu says that there's a 2 hour limit on the hookah. However my friend kept ordering drinks and therefore they didn't enforce that rule. You are allowed to bring food in and eat it as long as you're drinking. There are TVs inside and outside and there's music playing as well. The servers are attentive and friendly and I would come back.

I've never been wowed with my service here, but I've never been disappointed either. Nomad is pretty much a local neighborhood hookah spot that is just good enough. Would I go back? Sure I've been plenty of times! But don't expect fancy or glamour.

When we entered, one of the staff greeted us and said "welcome home" when we walked by, which was a nice touch. Service was slow throughout our dining experience, but she was friendly and got us what we needed when we were able to wave her down. Service is an area the restaurant should work on. The food is the area where this restaurant shines; everything we had was delicious! I got the catfish and grits, with a side of macaroni and cheese, and my hubby got the oxtails over rice. Our favorite thing was the macaroni and cheese; it was flavorful, cheesy, but not overly so, and it is definitely something we will order again. This is definitely a spot we will go back to, and if service improves, this is definitely a 5-star joint.

The hookah they brought me was something you'd get for your college dorm. Cheap plastic hose and it tasted NOTHING like mango. I've had much better for less even in the US. I will say though that the service was good. They don't serve food but you can bring it in and there's plenty along the street. After about 10 pm on a Saturday night they play the music LOUD and it's a lot of the trap/thotcore stuff i.e. Megan thee Stallion, Cardi B, Nikki Minaj, City Girls, Drake, DaBaby, that kinda stuff.

I ordered the steak & cheese egg rolls and they were very good! NOW- you might ask .. so why is your rating a 2? I was lowkey always a bit paranoid being at Allure because it's so dark & small little holes in the floor/seating ends.

They was the first ones there for HH guess what ran out? A RAT - a big a* one too. They also said the vibe was a bit different. Too much smoke (cigarettes, weed, hookah) all in one. I really hate that a rat ran by them inside because I would've went back. Now I just can't. To know that I had some of the food there makes me nauseous.

I am writing to formally report an incident that occurred at Rose Bar on Saturday, November 1st,…read morearound 11:48 PM on the second-floor bar (where DJ Ratchet was performing). There were two bartenders working at that time. The bartender in question was not the Asian woman, but rather a woman who appeared to be mixed with Black and White. Her behavior toward me and my husband was extremely unprofessional, inappropriate, and disrespectful. From the moment I approached the bar, she was unfriendly, dismissive, and gave me dirty looks. She then made a highly inappropriate comment toward my husband, stating that she was "out of strawberry Hennessy but sweet enough for him," and later propositioned him for sex in exchange for money. I ordered two drinks -- a Jolly Rancher and a Long Island. My drink had no alcohol in it, despite costing nearly $50 for both drinks. When my husband returned the drink to the bar and mentioned that it lacked alcohol, the bartender laughed and called me a "bitch." This experience left me deeply uncomfortable and disrespected, especially as a married woman. It is unacceptable for staff to engage in such inappropriate and sexually suggestive behavior toward customers. The bartender's actions made me feel unsafe and completely unwelcome, and I will not return to Rose Bar as a result. I am requesting that this matter be investigated immediately and that appropriate action be taken against the bartender involved. I also recommend that management review its employee conduct policies and sexual harassment training to ensure all patrons are treated with dignity and respect. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I am available to provide additional details if needed. Date of Incident: Saturday, November 1st Time: Approximately 11:48 PM Location: Second-Floor Bar (where DJ Ratchet was performing)
