A special shoutout to Emyae, our server and bartender, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout our visit. Courtney DK, the manager, was also amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was running smoothly and that we were having a great experience. You can definitely tell that the team takes pride in providing great customer service. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and genuinely pleasant. I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Bellows Lounge to anyone looking for a great atmosphere, good service, and a fun experience!

I don't usually do the club type of venues however I decided to go with it for girls night. We of course had to get a bottle for a table. Our bottle girl was a sweet heart and took care of us well. It did get a little crowded but we had plenty of room to enjoy ourselves in our section. I did go up stairs to check it out. Not many people were up there but it was nice. We didn't get food but we did get hookah! It is a small space but we did have a good time. I will be sure to come back during brunch hours or happy hour to see what the food is on!

Went here looking for a place to smoke cigars, hang out and watch some March Madness. It had some…read moredecent reviews so we trusted them. Got to Mona's and found a good spot. We had cigars but bought more. The cigar collection was anemic, but we were not bothered by that because we came prepared. It filled up pretty quickly around 8 because a DJ showed up. So it went from a cool and chill place to CLUB RICHMOND pretty quickly. We enjoyed the best of both worlds...cigar bar by day/nightclub by night. The food was above average for bar food. The drinks were solid. The staff was cool but slammed by guests. And the patrons were very friendly. We enjoyed it so much that we went back a week later. If you are near Richmond and want some place to have a cigar and a good time- this place is with the trip.

If you enjoy (or don't mind) cigar smoke, and want a chill vibe that isn't quite the club, but has…read morethe DJ, full bar, and above-bar-level food, then this is the place to be. There's plenty of seating (reservation recommended) and a semi-open dance floor. The service was attentive and efficient. The drinks could use a bit of a heavier pour, but were fine-priced, especially for this area of Richmond. I I ordered chicken pasta (the sauce was flavorful, the chicken was tender) and calamari (wouldn't recommend; it was greasy...).

Full disclosure, I was on the hunt for a "chill" hookah lounge. Given the limited information about…read moreHollywood Hookah online, I decided to give it a try anyway. The vibe: according to google the lounge opened at 10:00, but we were not let in until 10:35. Upon entry, you go downstairs and find a spot to sit. They have really cool murals of various figures on the wall and a cool neon sign. The music being played was good, but it was more of a club vibe than a hookah lounge. I came for the hookah, and the hookah girls were still getting ready. So we didn't get our hookah until 11:15 - and it was weak. The cost: It was $20 entrance free, plus $30 hookah, and $15 per drink. THIS IS NOT A HOOKAH LOUNGE, meaning the "hookah girls" come and sell you hookah, but there is nobody that changes the coals or addresses the poor hookah quality. The hookah's used are cheap $20 hookahs with disposable hoes. The hookah was weak. Granted, I've been to the Middle East and have had some awesome hookah to compare it to. You can find quality hookah in the states though (NYC, LA, PHX, Austin, etc), and it doesn't cost $30. I find that the quality of the hookah is really dependent on the hookah being used, the process of packing the tobacco, quality of tobacco, quality coals, and a quality hoes! With that being said, THIS IS NOT A HOOKAH LOUNGE. This is a club with good music, that happens to sell horrible hookah with gorgeous "hookah girls". I'd say that the place has potential, because the vibe is there. Invest in quality hookahs w/real hoes, train the hookah girls how to properly pack the hookah, figure out how to change the coals.

I failed miserably ( Thanks Richmond/Henrico/Chesterfield). Anyway, I found this event on Eventbrite, and the rest is history. So here goes! What was wrong? Everything!

We rolled up at 11:00 on the dot on a Saturday, and it's good we got there right when they opened because a huge group came right after us and took up almost all the tables in this cozy spot. The 26 year old owner, Tiara, took our orders, served us, and regularly checked in on us throughout the meal. We ordered mimosas, the chicken & waffles, shrimp & grits, and the Bailey's french toast. The food took about a half hour to come out, but you could tell it was made fresh and from scratch, so the wait is worth it. Tiara was constantly refilling our waters, so you didn't feel forgotten at all. The small space was maxed out quickly thanks to a large party of 20 that came in and quickly filled the bistro with laughter. Once the food came the conversation stopped as we all began scarfing down our home-cooked meals. Everything tasted phenomenal, and the five brunch dishes they offer are all quite affordable, costing just $10-12 each. This spot is brand new, so you can tell they are still working out some kinks and figuring out their best practices, so go in with a bit of patience and understanding, and you'll have a fantastic time. Thirst Bistro earned five stars because this was a stellar first showing for a new restaurant. This place could easily go from a hidden gem to a staple of the Northside brunch scene.

The music was blaring through the room, lights were on, but no guests were around. Seemed like they did all that for 2 interviews? No one noticed us and I assumed they were closed because one of the glass windows was wrapped up. Next day, the wrapped up window was removed and guess all fixed. A few guests were munching and drinking. We were also able to walk around the rooftop (nice views). I don't know what season others came, but the menu was extremely limited. So I opted for brussel sprouts (most bang for my buck) and wings. The fries that came with the wings reminds me of McDonald's. Wings were okay and my friend's pizza ($18) wasn't cooked fully and quite small for the price. Staff did make another one and did alot better the second time around.
