If you're looking for a spot that perfectly nails the "lounge vibe" without the chaotic energy of a club, Trio Hookah Lounge is exactly where you need to be. It has officially become my go-to destination whenever I visit Jacksonville and want to get out of the house and actually enjoy my night. First off, the service here is top-tier. The staff is attentive, friendly, and they genuinely make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. And the food? It's consistently delicious. I recently had the salmon, and it was cooked to perfection--flaky, flavorful, and better than what you'd find at most dedicated restaurants. It's rare to find a lounge where the kitchen keeps up with the quality of the atmosphere, but Trio pulls it off effortlessly. Now, let's talk about the main event. In my opinion, Trio offers the best hookah in the city. The pulls are smooth, the flavors are bold, and the setup is always clean. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing smoke, you won't find a better experience elsewhere. The Vibe: It's a true kick-back atmosphere. It's sophisticated and lively, making it the perfect middle ground for those who want to socialize without the deafening noise of a nightclub. The Crowd: Be warned--this place is a local favorite for a reason! It gets rather packed on the weekends. Reservations: To ensure you aren't stuck waiting, I highly recommend reserving a table in advance if you're planning a weekend visit. I can't recommend Trio Hookah Lounge enough. Whether you're there for the vibes, the incredible salmon, or the smoothest hookah in town, you're guaranteed a great time. read more

Always a good time here! The vibe is on point, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and the food is always fresh and flavorful. I don't smoke hookah but the music and ambiance is always on point for me! The DJs keep things fun with a nice mix of music, especially Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Shoutout to Karina--she always has great energy and awesome recommendations. The whole team just makes you feel welcome every time you come through the door. read more

Cool place tucked in a little shopping center. Ordered a strawberry mango hookah which was pretty good. And for food ordered the Pasta with mussels. Just had a water to drink. The pasta was okay. A little over cooked. Sauce could've used some salt. Felt like it was lacking in flavor. Maybe some lemon. Idk. The service was good and they do charge 18% gratuity. read more

Went on a double date here. Got there around 7pm and was able to get a table for 4 before it got busy. The DJ plays good rap & R&B so the vibes were vibing. The hookah is pretty good. My husband and I got a white peach/blue mist & our friends got blueberry mint. Both were very smooth. Definitely will come back again. read more

We came here for a "Latino night" for some food and Hookah. Got in around 8 pm, ordered some food and Hookah. We were told that "Latino Night" will start at 9:30pm, however we waited till 10:30pm. It was just the Latino music, and that's all. I know that it was a Wednesday night, but you can do better than that. Overall, the food was average, and the Hookah was average as well. read more

The strawberry and cream hookah was nice and smooth. We got it with the ice base. The watermelon jolly rancher drink was good: very sweet tho. They have TVs playing the basketball game. Also have a mix of music playing. Thursdays they have a belly dancer. read more

I'm a regular at trio and love it. My go-to is always an espresso martini with chicken kebab and either Blue mist or code 69 hookah. The chicken kebab is some of the best in town as it's well seasoned along with flavorful jasmine rice and veggies. Crystal and Lejla are excellent and know how to make us feel at home! read more

This was our first time at Trio and it was so disappointing. Our waitress was very rude. I asked for recommendations for hookah flavors and she said she had a lot of tables to serve...as if she didn't have time to help us. Even though we were at a table she was serving. When asking about menu items, the waitress seemed very annoyed, and agitated with the fact that we had questions. It is dark in there, so it can be hard to read the menus. The music was okay, but our waitress really did make us feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome. Unfortunately a tip was included with the check. She's lucky because she would've not gotten a tip. read more

I came here Sunday 9/20 with a friend who was in town visiting. After checking out other hookah spots on yelp I decided on this one since it had pretty good reviews and it's not far from my house. I've been to a few hookah lounges throughout several cities; DC, MD, NY, Philly, and Miami so I have an idea what to expect. Don't get me wrong, our server Tajra was great and went above and beyond when she could. My first moment of disappointment was when we tried the calamari. It was my friend's first time so he didn't know how to gauge the quality but they tasted old, fishy and didn't look fresh at all. I wish I would have snapped a picture. I even let the server know but nothing occurred. The hummus w/ pita was good but then again how can you mess that up? The Hookah was good. We Had the Miami nights and Havana nights flavors. I personally preferred Havana nights. Reasonably priced $23.99 plus a $15 repack fee. Then we got our drinks (this is where the remaining of our disappointments happen) a mango margarita was ok. We had 2 but since we felt they barely had liquor my friend switched to a Long Island. I've never in my life had a Long Island not taste like a Long Island and not be strong. Apparently the bartender was either not that good or they REALLY count their liquor to a point the drinks don't even taste like what they're supposed to. My friend still drank it because he doesn't like to send stuff back. He asked for a second and asked our waitress if she could make it instead and if it could be stronger. She made us one each and although it was a bit more strong it still didn't taste like a Long Island. But we didn't complain or send back because we hate to be those people. The thing that disturbed me the most I think was that I didn't see anyone wearing a mask. None of the workers and not even the people walking in & out or throughout the place. Thankfully we sat outside but when I went to use the bathroom I noticed I was the only one with a mask on. I didn't catch on until I went to the bathroom but at this point we had been there a while. I'm sad to report Trio hookah lounge did not do it for us and I honestly doubt I would go back or recommend. read more

I wanted to taste the flavor but it just gave me a headache NOW the food was DELICIOUS I wanted to order another plate of the lamb because I was sucking the flavor off the bone! Will be back for food only, and the calamari was perfectly breaded, it was not too much just enough to taste the meat and have a little crunch! read more

This is not my first time in a hookah lounge, but I still consider myself a newbie when it comes to hookahs. Decided to come here for a date night with the boy since we wanted to try something new. It is VERY easy to miss as it is in a strip that is behind the main front. The setup is like a restaurant with a bar in the back, but the atmosphere is very relaxed. We didn't have any food; just spent a few hours there relaxing. We tried the blueberry flavor hookah and really enjoyed it. It was weird at first since we were the only ones in the whole pace, but eventually it started to fill up partially. The only thing was the music was wayyyyy toooooo loud. We could barely hear ourselves talk. Our server though was really nice and checked on us often. I'd come back again. Nice place to relax with a couple of friends. read more

This will be an odd review, coming from a non-smoker. Trio Lounge is a bit more modernized than other hookah locations. The interior is nice- there are changing LED lights all around you, which adds to this modern look. It looks spacious with plenty of seating options, though I visited during its first weeks of opening and don't know how it would seem at full-capacity. In the upstairs area where I was sitting, it was hard for the waitresses to get by because of the little space between our chairs and the separating wall. That's really my only critique. There is also a DJ booth in the corner that provides you with upbeat pop/Eastern European/Arabic music. My group ordered bubblegum flavored hookahs, and they really loved them! I assume that their other hookahs are just as good. Their menu has a variety of food options, and they also have a good selection of drinks to choose from in their separate drink menu. In general, the service is okay. I could see Trio Lounge as the next big thing- it only needs more customers! The location isn't too easy to find, but that's not problem. The owner does a great job publicizing the lounge with ample social media posts. I had a great time overall! read more

The lounge is very nice with a great ambience. However my experience was subpar. When we arrived we were greeted and sat down immediately. We were given a menu, and we ordered two drinks a hookah. After the waitress gave us our drinks and hookah, only then did she say the chef was not there and no food could be served. It was unprofessional of her to not state that earlier, as we probably would not have stayed. I will probably return, but I will make sure I eat before I do! Alcohol on an empty stomach could make for a bad evening! read more

Cataluna brings a little Miami energy to Jacksonville, and it's such a fun change of pace…read more The vibe is definitely the main draw here. It feels lively, a little upscale, and perfect when you want something more than just a regular night out. The cocktail menu alone is an experience. It's basically a whole book, with tons of craft options depending on your mood or vibe for the night. The small bites are great for sharing and make it easy to snack while you work your way through the drinks. They also host really fun entertainment nights, which adds to the whole experience and keeps the energy up. This is a great spot for a date night or a night out when you want something that feels a little more exciting. If you're looking for a Miami-style night without leaving Jax, this is the place.

My friends and I danced nearly the entire time we were there in addition to sharing some cocktails. There were two VIP sections on stage near the DJ booth. It isn't that big, but size doesn't always matter lol! We found out they also have karaoke as well as live bands and a small menu of food. The bartenders were friendly and efficient! There were a few cocktail waitresses walking around taking orders at the stand-up tables. We started at a stand up table in front of the DJ booth. I liked the view!

What a fun and unique experience this is!…read more The theme is a Tiki Hawaiian speakeasy and is very inviting with all the island decor. They even have hula dancers! I lived in Hawaii, so I didn't expect much, but I was actually impressed with the two dancers. Moreover, they were very accommodating when it came to letting a few of the girls dance with them on stage for their birthday (lol). This is basically a bar, so there is a bar menu with plenty of fun specialty drinks to go along with the theme. There is food available as well. It is a bar, so don't expect to get a full meal, but rather small shareable bites. We ordered a variety and shared. Everything was so good. The staff that waited on us was super friendly and fun...and put up with the crazy girls I was with...awesome! Be advised, the food and drinks are a little on the pricey side, but you are also paying for the atmosphere, etc. The Lounge is located inside the Wyndham Garden Hotel; therefore, there is plenty of parking attached to the hotel, and it is free. You do not have to stay at the hotel to go to the Lounge; it is open to the public. Restrooms are available as well. No discounts that I am aware of.

Just some information to know it is primarily a bar, they only have about 6 appetizers to order from. The appetizers were good and came out very quickly. The first thing that caught my attention was the amount of times they put food down at our table we did not order after about the 3rd or 4th time of this happening it seemed to be something they do to up the bill in hopes you don't notice. The second thing that thoroughly surprised and bothered me was after ordering another round of drinks, the second the drink was put at our table the waitress came over to check us out. No one had asked for the bill so we were all confused as to why we were being told we needed to close out, especially since we had just ordered more drinks. The waitress tells our party they have another reservation coming and they need our table... We all scramble quickly to leave so there's no issue and once we were outside that's when we realized there was no time limit on our table nor did anyone ask to close out the tab. Thankfully the hula dancers and our own group made the experience great however this place is very clearly a money grab and should not be accepting more reservations than can be handled as it completely ruined the end of our experience.

I recently decided to check out Trio Hookah Lounge with a visiting friend, and our experience was a bit of a mixed bag. Arriving around 10pm on a Friday night, we were informed that there would be a wait, but without any estimate provided. After about 20 minutes in the car, we finally received a text notifying us that a table was ready. Once seated, we were greeted by a diverse and inviting ambiance, accompanied by great music. We opted for one of the standard hookahs with a premium flavor, priced around $35. However, we found that the hookah didn't produce as much smoke as we had hoped, possibly due to the coal or other factors. This seemed to be a common observation among other patrons as well. On the bright side, the food exceeded our expectations with generous portions and tasty offerings. While the drinks were on the pricier side, they were well-made and appropriately strong, in line with what one would expect from this type of establishment. Overall, my friend and I enjoyed ourselves despite the minor hiccups. I would consider returning, perhaps during the day to see if the environment differs. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with good food and music, Trio Hookah Lounge might be worth a visit. read more

This was a very chill and laid back lounge. I went with a friend on a random Saturday night and it was the perfect scene for us . We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer and they were the best I've had yet. The waiter was pretty attentive and didn't miss a beat . My first Hookah experience was great ! All because of Trio ! Thank you ! read more

The atmosphere was warm and inviting from the time we walked in until we were seated at our booth. The waiters, even the manager and the rest of the staff were all very friendly, very helpful and down to earth. They were knowledgeable about the items on the menu, but they were also energetic and a fun time to be around. The staff alone made me want to come back again. While I love a good vibe, the food has to match, and thankfully for my Bestie and I the food did just that. We started with a glass of Prosecco and then ordered the hummus with the puffy bread. Both were amazing. For our entrées We ordered the meat platter for one which came with a variety of meat, including lamb, chicken, and beef, a salad and rice on the side. We also ordered the Branzino, which was perfectly cooked that also came with salad and rice on the side. Each entrée also came with either puffy bread, one we subbed for their pita bread (amazing). The waitress said that the Branzino was her top menu item and I must admit the Branzino and the hummus will keep me coming back over and over again. Excited to see what this spot becomes after their grand opening. It's definitely off to a good start.

Lets start with the good, the interior is very pretty and the food was delicious and seasoned well. Unfortunately the service was some of the worst Ive had and it doesn't make up for the good food. We arrived for our 6pm reservation and was seated at a very small table. The restaurant was not busy at all at this time. One of the chairs had a large stain so we asked if they could switch it out, the next chair was wobbly. At this point I requested to move to the bench seating or to the half moon booths which the waitress immediately said no since all of those are reserved for parties larger than two. Mind you, everyone that was in them were only parties of two so I pointed that out. She talked to the manager several times all while I'm standing because they still haven't replaced the wobbly chair. She came and told us we could not move because they would lose money if larger parties came in. We probably should have left then but I really wanted to try the food. Unfortunately it didn't get better, no one kept the coals hot in the hookah and we had to sit in on the floor cause our table was so small. The waitress was non existent and we had to ask for things repeatedly. Several parties of two came in and were seated in the booths we had requested as well. We were charged a fee for paying with a credit card. Overall good food, maybe they are so new they haven't worked out all the kinks but for the price there are better restaurants with great customer service which goes a long way.
