We were greeted by Shawn, our barista who had friendly, chill vibes. We asked for his suggestions and ended up choosing the pistachio latte and the espresso drink. Shawn told us to find a seat, I was delighted to see there were tons of spots to choose from. We ended up sitting on the main floor at a very large wooden table that would be perfect for playing games with a large group of friends or family. Shawn promptly delivered our drinks and they were delicious. Besides the drinks, the music and ambience were great and we especially liked the gift area with art, t-shirts, books and more. The sign saying "you are f#ucking magick" resonated as we left in great moods ready to take on the day. We will be back soon!

We've enjoyed "sip and paints" here, New Year's Eve, when they offered brunch with crepes, and frequented when they had their vegetarian lunch buffet. Unfortunately, things have changed. 1. Atmosphere The décor hasn't changed. Still sleek, dimly lit, and romantic. The bathroom water wasn't working, and staff seemed aware of it when we mentioned it. How is that sanitary or up to code? Several of the chairs brought to our table were also broken, with bent legs a clear safety issue. It's typically packed on a Saturday like a dance club but it was nearly empty on a Saturday night which may be a reflection of our experience. 2. Service Our waitress was kind and attentive despite handling a large group, but the busboy was unprofessional. He started clearing plates while people were still eating and even asked my husband to reach across the table to hand over other guests' dishes. It made us feel rushed, even though the place wasn't busy. 3. Food My chicken shawarma was greasy, hard, sour, and unseasoned, almost as if the meat had gone bad. The potato balls were cut open which I've never seen and underwhelming. My husband and son's wings were over fried and tough, the spinach artichoke dip was clumpy and poorly blended, and others said the lamb chops were "okay." Honestly, the best thing I ate that night was the pita bread. 4. Overall Experience This used to be our go to for birthdays, Brady Street drag show viewing, and happy hour, but it's gone downhill. Between the sanitation issues, broken furniture, food quality, and rushed service, it no longer feels like "our spot". SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.... This was hard to write because I have so many great memories here and I wanted the experience to be better. Sadly, I won't be returning.

One of my favorite places to catch hookah and a tasty dish in Milwaukee area…read more It's tucked away quite snug right off the interstate, resting nicely between the bustling stop and go automobiles at the intersection of Howard and 76th. If you don't look, you might miss Arabian Nights Hookah Lounge. Especially during the daytime. But at night, they have neon lights that draw you in like a bug to a zapper under summer's stars. If you are drawn in, you won't be let down. Let's get something straight here -- this is a Hookah Bar. There isn't alcohol and there doesn't need to be. If you want to go somewhere for that, try using your Yelp app for "bars" with the little martini glass next to it. The interior of the place is much like a hookah bar in Cairo -- it's dimly light with a great ventilation system. There's an actual bar counter you can sit at and smoke. Ample amount of tables for seating and some rooms with couches and televisions if you'd like. For the TV's, they have Netflix, Spotify, Hulu and all the fixings like you're right at home. For the hookah, it's pretty unique if you want it to be. For the bowl (where the tobacco goes), you can get a hollowed out fruit -- apple, pineapple, watermelon, lemon and so on. Trust me, this makes it taste so much better. For tobacco, they have Starbuzz, Al-Fahker, Fumari and more (which are the traditional suppliers). You can mix flavors together if you wish. The smoke is smooth and quite flavorful, which creates the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing night with friends. For food, I've had the shawarma wrap before and their smoothie. It's good! The Turkish coffee is really good as well, and you can get it without sugar if that's your thing. It's really caffeinated and quite good. I'd recommend trying some coffee which sips great in between puffs of hookah.

Revel was evidently popular with Milwaukee's African-American population. The bar brought back memories of my high school days in NYC, and I loved the music. While he asked for my identification, the bouncer joked with me, saw I was more than five decades over the drinking age, and told me to put the ID away, and he helped me order a drink. Everyone was warm, and several people even complimented me on my fedora. I only had one drink because my friends were afraid to come in. That's Milwaukee's problem. Fear prevents us from getting along. I accept and appreciate diversity, color, and ethnic heritage. That's America, people. We are all different. Enjoy the mosaic.

I really had to debate between 3 and 4 stars for this one. I have to go with 4 because it is my…read morefavorite hookah place in town. "If it is your favorite hookah bar, why not 5 stars?" you may ask. Well, kind reader, I have been here dozens of times in the last six years or so since I started hitting up the Milwaukee hookah scene and I just have to say I have had my share of terrible experiences here - enough that on any given night, it is the difference between a 5 star and a 2 star experience. First, why I love it: Great flavors, prices are decent and comparable to similar hookah bars in the area, the ambiance is very cool and not to "feminine" as sometimes hookah places can be with frilly pillows and whatnot, the noise level is reasonable, I enjoy the Turkish music videos on the tvs, and service can be awesome. One time about two years ago, a waiter gave us a $25 gift card to our table for no reason. We must have just been great customers or he had so many to hand out for the night. Either way, awesome! Why I could really go for being about anywhere else on earth sometimes: sometimes there are not too many videos in the loop sequence and if you sit there for more than an hour, which you probably are doing, you will hear the same songs several times. Worse than that is the service. Last time I was in, we had a waitress who didn't seem to have the faintest idea for how to wait tables. First of all, waitressing at a hookah bar should be the easiest kind of waitressing in my humble opinion. You just keep coals going, after 30-45 min see if they want another flavor. Maybe once or twice between as you fix coals, ask if they need any drinks or appetizers. It took about 15 min for her to even bring the hookah out. She didn't come back to our table for an hour and 15 min. We were prepared to order another flavor quite some time before then and would have had she allowed us the chance and also would have liked their amazingly cheap and delicious tea and pita bread. Instead we wasted an hour and a half with one flavor that was old before we just gave up and left. She didn't even ask if we wanted anything else when she came back - she just handed us a bill wordlessly. Now I know waitresses can get busy bussing many tables, but I think we were literally the only table she had and there was only one other table that night that was being waited on by a young man who stopped by their table several times during our night there. Please don't make me feel like maybe I should ask another waiter/waitress to take our order. She literally stood by the bar talking to the bartender and didn't even glance at our table so we could wave her down. We left very disappointed. My husband and I have a hookah we use at home and a good number of shisha flavors on hand, but sometimes we want to go out just to go out. I'd rather not feel like I would have been better off just staying home. Especially after being excited about going to a place I typically love. Customer beware of a hit or miss experience! Hopefully, you get the 85% chance it will be a great time.

They offer you a menu for the shisa (hookah) flavors. I felt like i was a kid in a candy store with all of the possibilities. I will say that it is more expensive then some of the other hookah spots in Milwaukee but a extra couple of bucks hasn't hurt my pockets so i can live with it. There isn't a bar or a huge food menu so don't expect that when you enter. The crowd is usually 20 to 30 something hipsters or college students from the river west area. So no dressing up or over dressing its not that type of place. The pro for this place is that it is diverse and i appreciate that.
