I was in town visiting family and wanted to get out the house....actually, I wanted to go smoke hookah. Because this place was so close to where I was visiting and looked cool AND was rated highly on here, I was on my way. Right away I was greeted and seated by a hostess named Rosy (she was seriously fun and amazing the whole time). The layout and vibe of the place is so awesome. The DJ played good music, the crowd was chill, and best of all this place serves wine and beer (and food). However, this place gets 5 stars for the customer service. I ordered a brand/flavor I smoke at home on the regular so when I got my hookah, I was certain it didn't taste like what ordered. I let Rosy know and the owner came out to try it. Rosy agreed it didn't taste like gum mint and the owner graciously changed it out. From my experience at hookah bars, flavors can come out differently if the head isn't cleaned well, but the owner insisted they all are. He even brought out the box of shisha so I could see what they're using and yes, it was the exact one I have. After changing it out, it still wasn't right. He came back to check on me and I was honest in that it still didn't taste like gum mint, but I told him it was fine. He offered to swap it out yet again, but at this point I wasn't trying to be difficult. His whole staff and himself had been so nice and I didn't want to be "that customer." The next night I came back with my brother and the owner along with another waitress from the previous night remembered me and once again received excellent service. I have to add that prices are very reasonable for both hookah (if you like Al Fahkar) and drinks, but it's such an awesome place that the bill WILL add up. I can see why this place has such good reviews and I will be back when I visit again. read more

Whether you're looking for a chill lunch with friends or romantic date night, this is the spot for you! This was by far the best experience I've ever had at a hookah lounge, and that says a lot for someone who doesn't smoke! The food here caught me by surprise in the best way possible! Not only was I super satisfied with the selection on the menu, but everyone ordered something different and we basically got to see a showcase of menu items. The lowest scoring menu item to us was still a 5.5 which is solid. I would highly recommend coming here, especially with friends. They have good music playing and service for us was a 10 out of 10. I was helped by Brodie and Korey and when I tell you guys they took such good care of us I mean it! Brodie was our bartender, he took the time to perfect each drink & always made sure we were topped off with refills! Korey took care of absolutely everything we could have asked for! From napkins to photos she was willing to do it all! I can't wait to come back here!!! Especially for those egg rolls!! read more

We made an impromptu stop in around 7:30. Initially, our service was great. She was attentive and accommodating. We ordered drinks and hookah. Then as it started to get busier the service suffered. It seemed like she was the only server for the entire place. We had to ask for our coals to be changed 3x while watch her replace others who were there hours after us, she spilled a drink on one of us and attempted to charge us for a drink we did not order. Overall the vibes were cool but I don't think I would go back to spend my money there. Side note: the music and the Dj were great. Seems like a great place for late night read more

Food was FIRE!! Harley and Korey were super attentive and kind! We're very knowledgeable about the menu and helpful! Would HIGHLY reccommend. I hope they are working next time I come in! read more

Update!!! Compared to the last time my service was absolutely terrible. It was a little after 12 midnight. Untrained bartender, struggled throughout I was solo, no group, just myself and I found a seat at the bar Waiting to be seated is pointless when they don't even come back to take your order They ran out of hookah (unequipped with enough supplies) I noticed that they could've sanitized ones were costumers have left. Bartender ignored the fact that a customer was in front of him, would not serve me. (Temporary fill-in bartender/management) Instead tried to get a waiter but she continued to carry a conversation with others for over 30 mins. Poor management skills, and communication. A hour has passed, at this point. The reason for my 2 stars is the bartender did not serve me. Actually had no problem serving a women who walked up to the bar and asked for two shots. This is not okay... At one point he stopped and walked off and came back with a drink for himself The owner was only serving friends and not his costumer's. While his waitress are having miscommunication and not making sure everyone is taken care of. read more

Our card information was used to make an additional charge on a separate day when we were not present. The business has been giving us the runaround and claiming the owner is too busy to reverse the charges. It's incredibly frustrating to witness a business resorting to blatant theft. Be wise not to visit this establish if you don't want your money stolen. read more

I like what they are doing here. Hookah bars have evolved into a night club and it is fun. The vibe and energy is good and folks will likely enjoy this place. Also clean!! That said, I'd like to see an improvement in bottle service - this is the first place I've been to where they don't pour/make your drink. Please do this, at least the for the first drink. You do this for someone who orders a $10 cocktail, so let's do it for bottle service. Make the first drink at the table, go about your business, anf check-in here and there! read more

This really spot really surprised me and my husband with how nice and clean it is especially for a hookah spot. We love that they have a full bar for our friends that aren't really hookah smokers but can still have a drink and enjoy. Love the ambiance and music was so good! Good music played all night and kept us wanting to dance lol. The service was great the servers were attentive . Will definitely be back as it such a nice spot to just chill and listen to some great music . A VIBE! read more

Loner here, best hookah lounge with people who live loud music and great food and the service is at it's best. read more

Ok so this was my first hookah experience, so I can only compare this to other late night bar experiences, not hookah itself. Visited the spot with a group of girls last sat night around 9 or 10pm (and stayed past midnight). When we walked it is was SO quiet. There technically was a dj, but it was soft chill music, where we were looking to party. Thankfully the dj honored our requests and put on some more booty shaking music (although the music def could have been louder.) Walking in at first there are a bunch of banquet style tables with table cloths (kinda weird- again not the vibe I was expecting), but there were couches in the back. The first L shaped couch we were seated at was super uncomfortable and awkward to sit and chat with everyone, but we were moved to a pair of leather couches which was way better. Our waitress was new and seemed a bit overwhelmed but overall she did a good job. She just didn't have any knowledge of the different hookah flavors- she really needs a cheat sheet on that. We ordered drinks and a hookah, but we were required to order multiple hookahs for our size table. Not really a fan of that policy- we wasted a lot of hookah, and we ordered plenty of drinks. At the end when it came to our bill our waitress asked us what we each ordered, which was a bit of a nightmare, and she had to put all the hookahs on one tab instead of divide it eventually between each of us. Overall I did have fun with my gal pals, and out of the 3 hookah flavors I tried one was delicious. The music playing better music at the end of the night saved the party. Drinks & hookah were decently priced. Only 1 female bathroom was a PIA. read more

Best hookah bar I've ever been to! As a hookah enthusiast I was impressed with the all glass hookahs for their looks, cleanliness, and the all around smoothness of the smoking experience. The food was great and the drinks were tasty! The waitresses were great and constantly checked on us. Just need better beer prices and this would be a weekly place for me. read more

Don't come on a busy night! you'll be waiting for a long time for drinks and hookah. Music was great and it was fairly packed but they sat more people than they could handle. Drinks are a bit pricey. All together it's not something to waste your time on try to find another "spot". read more

I went early and read my book a little bit- played phone games- got some light food and enjoyed my hookah- Cool place to chill-- went back several times no complaints read more

Came on a Friday evening. There were about 6 tables of guests. Tools a few minutes for someone to take our drink order but once ordered they came right out. The DJ this evening was decent, it was early in the evening so we didn't stay past 11. May go again. Decent hookah but if your looking for a more lit experience there are better options. Definitely avoid the drink "lust" it's gross and taste like medicine. read more

The Spot is easily the best hookah lounge I've been to. Great atmosphere, great food, great service. The servers are very accommodating and have helped me to discover flavor combinations for my hookah that leave me wanting to come back for more. The name of this place tells you all you need to know, it really is THE spot. read more

I love this place. Wonderful ambiance, chill and relaxing spot. Very good music and excellent service. The drinks are always strong and awesome selections. Drama free place to come and just enjoy yourself. It's a must visit. A+ in my book. The owner is friendly and always takes suggestions to make the place more personable. read more

The lounge is visually appealing. It's spacious, clean, and the music and tv's are solid. The actual hookah is decent; I've had better and worse.I didn't love that some flavors require you to upgrade to a premium hookah but I can look past that. The service was my least favorite part. I went early evening on a Wednesday when the place was rather empty. My server had no desire to help me. I walked to the bar 3 times to get my own drinks and even had to walk over to close my tab. read more

I first came to The Spot on a Saturday Night 25 Jan 2020. I went with a date, we were just looking for a casual laid back place listen to music, vibe, and enjoy hookah. That's exactly what we found at the Spot and more. Narek who I believe must be the owner, took care of us and really made us feel at home. He explained the different hookah flavors and types of hookahs and he was constantly checking on everyone and bringing out new coals and drinks and food. The falafel and hummus was excellent! Taste home made. Another great thing is they do not have an up charge for mixing flavors so mix away! I will be back soon to smoke hookah and chill at the spot. read more

I was there last night with my friends smoking and buying several rounds of drinks will at least attempting to. The waitress was terrible at one point she didn't come around for an hour. And when she came it was to cash us out. And then she went on to try and be sneaky and tip herself not allowing us to give the tip that we wanted to. I would not recommend to come here. Slow service and waitress should seek another career read more

First time trying hookah and the employees are genial and professional. Impressed not only because it's relaxing and well-maintained, but also aesthetic and fabulous compared to most other lounges. Visuals like sports TV and fluorescent lighting enhance the smoking experience. I tried the flavor double apple (I handled it great somehow) with a traditional pipe. But they have a variety of flavors and quality pipes to choose from as well as foods and a wine bar. Thanks for the middle eastern culture and helping Jax become vibrant! read more

First time I came here. It looks nice inside and didn't seem too packed for a Saturday night. I was excited to get a hookah and a drink and we were told to wait for a server to come. We patiently waited for 30 minutes before questioning when anyone would approach us. Another 20 minutes and still no service. Saw another group who came in not too later after us leave as well.. read more

The place has been upgraded with high top tables and a DJ pit! Buddy also got a liquor license! The music is still a vibe. The owner is still extremely cool and personable. The best chill vibe in Jax for sure. read more

It was so bad I would give it a zero, but I can't so I'm going to give it a one. Upon arrival it took them several minutes to seat us, then after waiting several more minutes we had to flag out own waiter to get out orders in. We went with the recommended hookah "the spot" which was A MESS. It was very harsh so we again got another waiter's attention she "fixed" it but it soon fizzled out. Asked for more coals, they told us they were coming. They never showed. In the mean time the drinks we ordered were mediocre. The supervisor was acting bothered whenever my friend asked him for something like we were supposed to know he was in charge, I just feel like why walk around if you don't want to help. Anywho my friends & I won't be back. We came last night 2/11/22 read more

Nice place, I'd come back again. Staff is friendly but they definitely follow the rules. They were rejecting people who didn't have their ID cards. read more

It's close to my new place so I figured I'd stop in for drinks. The first time, the hostess' attitude was bland, and that's putting it nicely. No smile, no welcome, no customer service. I didn't think much of it. I tried it again on the weekend and upon entry was met by the same hostess. No welcome in, no hello, just looked at us and immediately asked for ID. I was blown away. I'm obviously older than 21, by the way. I Really wanted to go here regularly being so close to home but I gave them 2 tries and I won't be going back because of the hostess. The bartender was great, by the way. read more

1st time visiting, the vibe was nice but the couches were old. The staff was helpful in selecting hookahs. Overall good experience

Easily the best hookah lounge in all of Jacksonville. Ive been to a couple in the city and usually still haven't smoked a good hookah until this place opened up. I mean you get an expensive glass hookah for the price of regular hookahs at other places. Everything is brand new and classy inside. You can order food and small bites, Wine, etc. The owner and staff is also super friendly and accommodating. Hard to beat this place. Very solid. Tons of seating and DJ's coming every week. Just give it a try. I will be back! read more
