Intro *Full…read moreDisclosure* We only came to this place for hookah and drinks. After grabbing food and drinks nearby, a few friends and I were looking for a place to keep the party going. Enter #HouseOfHookah Ambiance/Vibe The vibe gives very much "club"/"lounge." If you're looking for a spot with a semi-after hours feel, that's dark with low cool/warm lights (blues, reds, etc.), and chill, you've found yourself in the right place. And, as the name suggests, there is hookah - no shortage of it. I don't, however, recall the cost or options, etc, but I think it was fairly extensive. The music was good, from what I recall. 4/5 Service Service was... fine. Nothing outstanding. Just ok. However, it was a hassle just getting in with the different unknown, unposted rules. Unfortunately, I don't recall the specifics, but I just remember it being more complicated/involved than it should be for this establishment. 3/5 Food We didn't order food, nor do I recall even seeing that there was food available, but according to their Google, there are at least light bites available. N/A Drinks This place does NOT sell nor serve alcohol. You, however, are allowed to bring your own liquor in, but there are some rule(s) surrounding it, soi suggest you swing by and get the full specifics before you show up with your liquor. This played into the issue with service. It felt like the rules were being divulged one at a time. Almost like "here is rule 1", then you do whatever it takes to comply, and then it's like, "Oh, but you can't do that because of rule 2, which is..." It just felt overly complicated and unnecessarily, so, again, for a spot that just serves hookah... N/A Final Verdict 3/5 would not recommend. NOT Lord Wellington Approved. I would only recommend going to this place if you fall into 1 of 2 categories: 1) you are either not a drinker or not drinking at the moment or, 2) you're a college student and shouldn't be drinking. While you can bring your own liquor, you had to buy cups, mixers, ice, etc. It's just a hassle if you're looking to wind down your night with a cocktail and a little hookah, having to go through extra steps (particularly at the time considering you would likely be coming after midnight). Not my cup of tea, so I'd personally never return unless things changed.

The spot in beautifully decorated. It seems to be a great environment for a night out with friends…read more There is both an upstairs and downstairs of the establishment. The restaurant had a great music selection playing and had various sports channels playing while we were there. As soon as we arrived we were greeted and informed that we could sit wherever we liked. Soon after we were greeted by our server who was very friendly. We ordered the lobster bites as a starter and then order the shrimp and salmon over yellow rice and the fettuccine pasta. Each entree came with large portions of food.

I had a nice little solo nightcap here at Vanity. This is a 21+ lounge and you will be carded at…read morethe door. Music is mostly R&B. It's a small venue with a setup that definitely screams Atlanta hookah lounge. There are only a few tables and half the space is booth/club seating (low tables for hookah). There is street parking but it's not free until after 12AM I believe. Luckily I can just walk over LOL. Bonus points for the kitchen being open late for all of us certified night-owls. Kay was my bartender and she was lovely (and beautiful!!!). No issues with service at all. There is a 20% auto-gratuity as is typical of this type of establishment and Kay was transparent about that -- luckily the service was actually great so I wasn't mad about that at all. Food came out fast! My burger was made correctly, but there was no option given to customize how it was cooked. The portion for the brussel sprouts was huge and it was no extra charge to sub in for fries, but they were shockingly sweet -- I couldn't finish them for that reason and I love brussel sprouts. Next time I'll probably go with broccoli instead. I have to take off stars for a few reasons. This spot only serves with plasticware and that undeniably cheapens the vibe, even though you're easily dropping an average of $30 for food (cocktails were averaging $20 alone). I was fortunate enough this trip to have a nice gentleman cover my drink. Additionally, some of the staff were unashamedly glued to their phones WAY too nonchalantly in front of customers (I was really glad I sat at the bar LOL). And water is only offered in a bottle, so it does not come free with patronage which is pretty wild considering people are drinking so heavily. Can't speak on the cleanliness of the bathrooms... sorry ladies! I also can't speak to the quality of the hookah but the folks around me seemed happy with theirs. This Tuesday night vibe was cool. I'd come back.

The burger was well seasoned and delicious. Once happy hour started we all started off with the lemon drops. I had the dragonfruit and blueberry flavor. The 6th man was really good as well. We also got the snapper bites which were delicious . The ceaser salad was fresh and crunchy ( I am a salad lover and it was top tier). My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich. Angel can make a mean cocktail and has amazing customer service. I was bummed when they had to switch shifts at the bar because she took really good care of us. The new bartender was good but we were not a fan of her drinks. The lemon drops she made were not chilled and lacked flavor. The restaurant is decorated nicely and everyone has room to enjoy themselves.

The atmosphere is definitely a bar vibe, complete with hookah, music, and several happy hour options to choose from. I was coming from another event and wasn't very hungry, so I kept it light. I ordered the corn ribs, which were packed with flavor, and also tried the salmon bites, which were tasty. Everyone in our group seemed to enjoy their food and cocktails. I even got in a line dance before leaving! I'm not sure if I would personally return, but it's a cool spot to check out for half off happy hour with friends if you're looking for music, drinks, food, and a lively bar atmosphere.

I'm not into hookah, but the person I was with loved it, so that's a plus if it's your thing. The music stayed on point all night, and if you're 420 friendly, you'll probably feel right at home here too. Definitely a fun spot if you're looking for good food, strong drinks, and a laid back night out.

The DJ was solid, I'll give them that, but the crowd was a totally different vibe -- not in a good way. We had to flag down the bartender for every single drink while she stayed glued to her phone (both of them). And the hookah? $63 with gratuity included minus any service to the coals or repack. This visit just confirmed why I've never been a fan of the Cru brand -- low quality, high prices, and zero reason to come back.

If you're in a large group everyone can get several cups out of it. There's no free parking nearby that I know about but there's a garage walking distance and valet right in front.

The food was and drinks were excellent. The best part was that got to vote for my favorite drink, dessert and food. This event happens once per year. The tickets are sold online and they sell fast. It is well organized. They have plenty of policemen and staff guiding with parking and things. I have been attending this event for a few years now and I always have a good time. My favorite dessert was Keik. They had a combination of something I had not tasted before and I loved it. They also had a beautiful, pink station. The coffee rub burger was good. My second favorite was a birria taco. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it was the only one here with that taco. It was delicious.

Also, parking is not the best so I do recommend car pooling or doing ride share. Happy Slushing!!
