    I have been coming to this lounge regularly for about a year. Service is always fast and bowls are packed really well, the hookah always last a long time. They also play all sport games and fights. Must try for

    Absolutely horrible service. The food and hookah was indigestible. One of the worst hookah bars I've been to.

    Our favorite hookah lounge in SD. Super close to SDSU. Really chill staff and the quality of shisha…read moreis top notch. They always have a go to flavors lemon mint and blue mist. They also offer coconut coals which is not readily available at other locations. It's always clean inside and the staff is good about getting fresh coals. They allow outside food and drink. But they do offer drinks and some snacks.

    Super chill spot to come hang out and get your hookah on. Not the flashiest. Not a ton of artwork…read more Not instagram worthy but this place is as solid as it gets. Staff are chill. Came here twice. Once on a Saturday night and another time on a Sunday night. People are just smoking and vibing out. There's two restaurants next door. One is a Mediterranean restaurant and I think has the same owner or they work closely together. The other is Dirty Birds. You can bring food over as you smoke. They sell beer and seltzers there. Parking can be tight. There's not a ton of spots in the lot but there is street parking. Staff are friendly and leave you be. They come around every 20 minutes to change the coals and check in on you. Both times I came there was about 7 people here. So never too overcrowded. There's an outside patio which is the prime location. Great for groups. Prices are competitive. Just about average that I've seen in other locations. Only thing that could be improved here is the music. I'm used to places that's a bit more of a vibe. Both times I came there wasn't music playing.

Giving it 3 stars because the bathrooms are DISGUSTING. There's only 2 unisex bathrooms and they are often clogged up. If it isn't clogged up, there's no toilet paper or it's just trashed. Sometimes the door lock is broken too and won't lock properly. They have been doing some renovations to their furniture but not the bathroom. It's so gross. The specialty drinks are really good. Especially when the bartender Chase is there. My favorite is the Pink Lagoon. It'll sneak up on you because it is made with tequila. It's like an alcoholic pink drink with the coconut cream, guava and pineapple. Pricy with drinks averaging $15-20 and they have an automatic 18% surcharge on weekends (that is not tip). Food is great. Some of the best wings downtown. The lamb chops are really good too. I wouldn't get the wagyu sliders. It wasn't good. It tasted like an average slider advertised to be fancier since it's "Wagyu". I've had better sliders elsewhere for much cheaper. Save your $30. Parking here is horrible because it's in the heart of gaslamp. Horton plaza parking is probably your best bet if you can't find street parking.
