    For the past 6 years, The Peace Pipe has held a special place in my heart. If you are looking for an amazing Hookah spot in the Queen City with the BEST prices, you can look no further than this review. Just forget about all of the other places. The Peace Pipe is the best of the best. They are LGBTQ+ friendly and treat everyone that walks through their doors as family. The lounge is very large and accommodating, and the vibe is simply immaculate! Check their page or website for events they are hosting and awesome specials! I'm not a person who enjoys alcohol, so I opt for Hookah on my days off, but if that's your thing, they have a full bar too! Sit back, relax on one of the many super comfy sofas, and play some board games and listen to some awesome music. The wonderful and knowledgeable staff here will always take care of you! I've been going here for those past 6 years and I have never had a negative experience. My friends and family can agree with me, we always have a great time here and I'm sure you will too!

    Service was good but the music was a little loud for my taste. And the hookah and drinks are a little expensive. But I would recommend.

    This place had a solid vibe. Everyone was super friendly and the music was good. They have an ATM, and the hookah was reasonably priced. They swap coals often.

    Finish the night off.

    I had high expectations as this spot came highly recommended from several friends. Not saying this was a bad spot but I probably wouldn't recommend it as the hookah lounge to go to. We went with the peach/mango hookah and it was pretty good! It was a little harder to pull than I was used to but that could have been on me. The hookah was good overall. Ordered 2 drinks and my wife liked her Moscow mule, I had top shelf long island and it was definitely not a top shelf. It was weak at best. The experience was cool, okay, straight. I would definitely dress down more if I went back to match the crowd more. I guess the best way to sum this one up is a laid back chill spot with great employee customer service, weak drinks, good hookahs, with music playing on TVs along with sports on. More like a chill sports bar with couches and hookahs.

    This place was pretty cool. I went during the afternoon and it was really chill. There was a group of ladies celebrating a birthday and I loved that they were just having fun and they invited everyone in the building to party with them. The service was great and attentive. I'll add this spot to my list of hookah joints.

They have a Christmas drink menu, mostly sweet, but they also offered to make some minor modifications. I had the Koala LaLaLa, which was more tart with some apple and bitters. Probably not everyone's jam, but I loved it. All the bartenders were great-Star kept us laughing, and they moved quickly considering how busy the place got.

My friends only were in line for 5 mins but unfortunately I was the late one and waited in line for 30 mins. Luckily the line does move fairly quickly. If I'm being honest, aesthetically the drinks look good but not worth the price. My friends and I got the koala lalala and were bummed that after paying so much, it was mostly soda water and barely any alcohol for almost $19. Not worth it imo. I did however love the music selection. It was very nostalgic. Despite the technically difficulties they were having, my friends and I had a great time dancing the night away to our favorite middle and high school jams. My only suggestion would be next time for the dj to put his device on do not disturb. Every time a notification came through, the music would lower and was very noticeable. My friends and I laughed it off thinking we were just hearing things at first only for it to continue followed by the speakers completely going out. Overall it was nice to dance and be around holiday cheer but I don't think it would be worth a repeat experience.

It's tucked away in a strip mall off South Boulevard next to Goldie's (a spot I know well), but Dom's definitely flies under the radar.

The drink selection was decent, and with it being the holidays, they even had some festive cocktails. The one I ordered was actually really good. We didn't stay long since this was more of a pre-dinner pit stop, but it left a good impression.

They would have to ban me because I would be in there so much! We ordered the duck fat pretzel bites with the queso and they were drool worthy. Not pictured we also got a flatbread as well. Great experience and we will definitely be back!!

We were immediately turned away because we had on sweatpants. The attire rules are posted at the door in a very abrupt and abrasive way and we were quickly approached.

She didn't say anything to us but the black server immediately came out and told us we needed to leave because of our attire. We were kempt and professional, yet casual. The servers had on uggs, leggings, half zip nylon pullovers, and had the audacity to approach us about attire. I will never, ever, spend my dollars, nor recommend this place to anyone...for ANYTHING.

We started with a few drinks and the dip trio (love the plantain chips!) But what set us off right was the mojito! Asia, our bartender, made an outstanding drink.

The excellent service continued with our server Tony. He made great suggestions and helped us make sure to guide us through the menu as we aren't familiar with Peruvian cuisine.
