A friend and I were looking for a hookah lounge one evening and after hearing good things about Fire N Ice, we decided to check it out! We arrived around 7:30pm on a Wednesday. Lucky for us because Happy Hour is all day on Wednesdays, so the Regular Hookah is ~$12! It wasn’t too crowded yet so we ordered hookah and grabbed an area to sit in. We wanted something a little bit unique so we went with a mix of Blueberry Muffin and Mint flavors. The hookah hit pretty well and lasted a while. The worker did come by to rotate the coals which I appreciate. It is a bit loud in here (like most hookah places), so maybe not the best place for talking or catching up, but if you’re looking for a relaxing spot with good music to smoke hookah that’ll last you around 2 hours, Fire N Ice does the job!

Paradise Hookah – Menu with Prices – 1320 W Blaine St, Riverside

Found this place on yelp, and wanted to try. This is a cute and cozy hookah lounge with a patio outdoor smoking facility.The interior and the lights were dim and soothing while the music in the back was not to loud,just the way i like it. I ordered double apple mint,the order was taken by a sweet lady who i suppose is the owner and super down to earth. Hookah came in a couple mins. I took the first hit and i knew this place is gonna be my fav. The best doubleapple i have smoked in a while. If you are a fan of double apple its a place to try out for sure. The service was provided by Mo, who was super sweet to us. The owner offered us some free popcorn and arabic tea which was pretty sweet of her. I am totally gonna support this business,because of the service and hookah they provided,they were checking on us for coals pretty often,unlike some other hookah lounges. The hookah lasted long and later i got a head change which was pretty remarkable too. Shoutout to Mo,hes the man.

Oliveo Cafe and Hookah Lounge – Menu with Prices – 2620 W Broadway Rd #9, Mesa

I went to this hookah launch for the first time and the place looked beautiful, unfortunately I had the worst experience ever. The service was terrible. My friends and I ordered two hookah’s and it took over 30 minute to get it. I went to this location on a Friday night where many people come out to hookah spot and this place was under staffed. After getting our hookah it tasted AWFUL. After our coals went out we had no one to check in with us if we needed coals or not. I had to go to the cashier and request a coal and he told us he would bring them once he is free. He just ignored me and continue taking orders from guest who arrived after us. My friends and I waited for 30 minute and still the staff did not bring us coals for our hookah. The two staff were no where to be found. We got up again and looked for the staff and told them if we do not get coals for our hookah we would just like to pay for them and just leave he then told us he would bring them. The guy finally came and gave us coals for only one hookah and said he would bring More coals for our second hookah which he never did. I was so disappointed for their services as I was the one responsible for bringing my two out of states friends to this place. It was their first hookah launch in Arizona and they were excited to be out and have fun in AZ, but this place ruined their night out in the city. We ended up paying $46 for two hookahs including one hookah we did not use because it did not have lit coals and two sodas. I will never go to this place and just want to warn everyone for this place unprofessional services! Do not go to Oliveo Cafe and Hookah launch and instead go to other hookah place near by like Memos which we ended up going to.

El Layali Hookah – Menu with Prices – 2531 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh

I found this hookah bar on Yelp because I was getting bored of the ones in the Southside area. Our party of 4 came a bit early on a Sunday so it was pretty empty. However, there were tv’s playing the Steelers game and we were served immediately. In addition to our Watermelon Mint hookah, we got vegetarian stuffed grape leaves, as well as falafel appetizer. Both foods tasted very fresh and flavorful! I loved the vibe here. It is more comfortable than other hookah bars in the city, we had excellent service, great prices, and delicious food! I definitely would choose this place over the ones in Southside if you’re looking for a more comfortable, higher end experience. They also offer fruit hookah bowls which is a premium type of experience to typical hookah. I also could tell the flavors they carry are great quality because our hookah lasted sooo much longer and was so much more flavorful and smooth than in other places. I will be back again! Give this place a try!

Babylon Hookah Lounge and Coffee – Menu with Prices – 59 N Progress Ave, Harrisburg

The Turkish coffee was very good. Unfortunately, the hookah was awful. The pull was weak, the pack was way too tight, and while I do compliment the use of coconut coals, the bricks were too small. If they improved the pack a LOT and used Cocobrix lounge sized coals, they’d be a lot better off. The lack of clouds and flavor leaves a lot to be desired. They also didn’t have any of the Lemon or Melon fruit heads that were on the menu, and apparently haven’t had them since they opened. After my coals were replaced once, my bowl started to burn quite badly – another poor aspect where, at other lounges, I’d get three hours on a well-packed bowl or fruit head of shisha. It was difficult to get the attention of my waitress who made few attempts to check on the status of our hookah. I always feel bad leaving a poor review because a business is someone’s livelihood, but people need to know what they’re getting into before paying for a subpar hookah.

SX Hookah Lounge – Menu with Prices – 1441 Milton Ave, Syracuse

Found this hookah lounge to be a night of fun and good service. They were having a special this night, 2 hookahs for $40 and 2 flavors. We picked Irish peach with mint and gummy bears. Irish peach with mint is generally my go to flavor but this night, it wasn’t producing enough smoke. We asked to switch to gummy bears and were charged $10. We hadn’t even had the original hookah for 5min. The DJ was awesome. The crowd was pleasant. It’s a great place if you want to enjoy hookah and a live DJ. We went on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy. They also have a ton of flavors to choose from. I will definitely return.

Fusion Hookah Lounge & Smoke Shop – Menu with Prices – 2205 W Berry St, Fort Worth

Oh man… Where to begin. I am a bit of a hookah Connoisseur. I’ve smoked Hookah in Europe and America. I’ve smoked everything from Al fakher to Tangiers. So when I say this was hands down THE WORST HOOKAH BAR I have ever been to, know that this is not an exaggeration. This had over 4 stars when I saw it on Yelp. Thought to myself “Cool! Fort Worth has some decent hookah bars!” Boy was I wrong… Get in. The cashier was chill. Asked him what hookah flavors and listed different brands. Dude had no idea what I was talking about… Finally settled on Social Smoke “absolute zero.” So I sit down. Took them 20 minutes to get us our hookah. It was quick light coals. And then. It wouldn’t smoke. I could pull a little bit out cuz I have been smoking for over a decade. However my friends couldn’t pull anything out. I popped out the hose. Turned it down towards an ash tray. And then WATER. WATER STRAIGHT POURED OUT INTO THE TRAY. This happened 6 more times because they filled it too full!? And it took them aolmost 30 minutes to bring out new coals!!! I have been to a lot of crappy hookah establishments in the 11 years that I have been smoking hookah. This is the first place I’ve ever been where they actually filled it too full with water. Like what the actual heck?? How can you even be in business as a hookah lounge if you don’t even know how the damn thing works?? Like it’s not hard to fill it decently!!! How do you screw that up?!? The owners should sell the place to people who know what they are doing and understand their customer base. The fact that these people are still in business is proof that there is a higher power in the universe. Truly disappointing.

Hookah Bazaar – Menu with Prices – 958 Patterson Rd, Dayton

I started going to hookah bazaar in 2011 and still come back from time to time. Its a nice enviorment. The owner mario will usually greet you and ask if you want tea, water, or a soda. He will then ask you what flavor hookah youd like then you can sit down and wait for it, maybe play some pool in the back. Theres a tv and theres also a chord for you to blast ylur music on the speakers. If youre hungry, theres an italian resturant that allows you to order and they bring it over so you can eat at hookah bazaar. A lot of times, hookah bazaar is opened after the bars close for an hour or two (depending on when they want to leave.) If you like hookah, then check it out.

Aficionados of Augusta Menu with Prices 307 8th St, Augusta

Seriously, don’t waste your time. The booze is all stupidly overpriced and you will be hit up by the hobos who sit on the bench outside. They now run a hookah bar in the back which is an absolute joke. The “attendants” are really lousy at their jobs. AKA you literally had to ask for everything, from getting more coals because the hookah wouldn’t start to begging for your coals to be ashed when it did get going. Plus, they have this really stupid system of trying to generate tips whereby only the attendant can ash the coals. This would work if they paid attention/remotely cared about their jobs, but this isn’t the case. They also don’t really have a permit to serve beer/wine so, while they “allow” you to drink in the back, you have to keep your booze in a brown paper bag the whole time…SUPER ghetto. Add to the nickel-and-diming, they make you buy a bottle opener to open your beer bottles. Honestly, just wait until Thursday and go to Tribeca. Believe me, you will regret wasting your time here.

Saylis Smoke Shop – Menu with Prices – 4316 S Cedar St, Lansing

I returned to Saylis recently. Usually, I go to Blue Midnight in E. Lansing but football season always puts unexpected kinks in my trips to E. Lansing so instead we headed out to Frandor for Saylis. I had a great time at Saylis last time so it was a no brainer. Saylis has plenty of seating and a couple private room areas for groups. Saylis offers great “happy hour” specials on Mon-Thursday where you essentially save $4 on each hookah. Which makes a hookah and a drink a total of $9. Which is awesome. The staff is extremely friendly. We ordered a Turkish coffee (which they apologized for having run out of) and instead, enthusiastically offered us Arabic tea, which was delicious. The coals burnt significantly cleaner than those used a blue midnight. And as a result our hookah lasted approximately 20% longer. We’ve decided to go to Saylis regularly now.

Aladdin Hookah & cafe – Menu with Prices – 2050 N Alma School Rd ste 35, Chandler

This hookah lounge truly is a hidden gem. I’m lucky to have found it after being to several other lounges in the area. Unfortunately they cannot serve food due to laws in the Chandler area, but they make up for it ten times over in service and kindness. The bowls are packed expertly and they will custom blend your flavors for you and keep your coals fresh. Its a relaxing atmosphere to head into after a long day at work or if you simply want an excuse to work, read, or lounge outside of home. I cannot reccomend the house tea enough. Black tea with notes of cardamom and mint and is truly exquisite. You won’t be dissapointed in the wonderful atmosphere Aladdin offers.

Osiris Lounge Menu with Prices 809 W Park Row Dr, Arlington

I travel for work and so I always find local hookah lounges wherever I go just to unwind, so I’ve experienced different lounges across the states. I stumbled upon this lounge on Yelp. I hardly go out when home because everything is overpriced here, compared to other cities I’ve traveled to. When I first came to this spot, it was very chill, the staff was very attentive and checked on me often. DJ was bomb!. Because of this, I frequented a few more times and brought friends. I came this year on my bday by myself as it fell on a Wednesday and I just wanted to chill. I looked on Yelp and it stated they closed at midnight. Cool! Two hours was plenty of time. I get there and the dude tells me he’s closing at 11pm. I’m like I just drove 30mins and your closing in an hour because YOU have stuff to do?!?! Dude stated he’d keep it open to 1130pm. I was cool and appreciative of that. I paid for my hookah upon leaving and he have me a coupon for free hookah due to him having to close early! Very nice gesture! Then here comes this past Friday Sept 7 2018! I get there at 930pm. There was a couple in front of me walking in and as they opened the door, they peeped in and turned around to leave. As I walked up I asked them was it crowded, they stated “no, there’s only like 4ppl in there.” I told them to come on in, it’s a cool spot and the crowd would come in about an hour. They came on in. Upon entering I was charged a $5 entrance fee which I’d never done before..buy cool! O told the chick what flavors I wanted and was advised to pay right then. Oh..something else new..cool, no problem. But wait, I have a coupon for a free hookah! I’m told it can’t be used on the weekend. I looked at the card and said it does not state that anywhere on here and neither was I told that or I qoukdnt7habe brought it out! Dude was like I’m pretty sure I said that. I responded and said I’m 100% sure you didn’t. He said it couldn’t be used on the wkends because that’s when they’re busy ok! Whatever! I ordered my hookah and took my seat…I get my hookah, I’m jamming to the DJ, who is always jamming no matter who they being in for the night. It got time for a coal change. I watched as the workers walked by me helping others for about 20mins without acknowledging me. Grant it, about 10 more ppl had walked in…still not “busy”. I’m just looking at them walk by, not even looking my way to ask if I needed anything. Definitely not the service I was used to there. When I finally got someone’s attention to ask for a change of coals I was advised they don’t replace coals but THE WHOLE BOWL FOR $10 refill charge! WHAT?!?! Never EVER in all of my hookah experiences have coals NOT been replaced. So even though hash is still there and still good with flavor, I have to get a whole new bowl for fresh coals?!?!? At that point, I left. The whole night was a very disappointing experience compared to previous visits. I didn’t see Ace the last few times I was there, who was always top notch from a customers entrance to exit. Needless to say, I won’t return to what was once a spot that I enjoyed driving from Lancaster, TX (30min drive) to chill. Definitely not the spot I came to admire.

Fume Bar & Lounge – Menu with Prices – 7195 Torbram Rd, Mississauga

My husband and I aren’t from Canada, but we were on vacation. We decided to visit this one lounge that was nearby our hotel since our original plan failed due to the place being super packed. It was Thursday night, pretty quiet and chill. No one was really there which was nice. Kind of got to enjoy ourselves in a more quiet setting. We got greeted right away and was seated in a “VIP” area which it seemed to be. The lounge is pretty spacious. We got seated next to the bar, and our server was nice. He made sure we were good our whole time there. We ordered one hookah, a mojito, a beer and some poutine fries. (Note: we’re not from Canada so we had to try some poutine lol) When we got our drinks, they were alright. My mojito seemed like it was either watered down or there just wasn’t enough alcohol in it, husbands beer was your average beer. When we got the hookah, it looked nice and there were extra coals which were nice. I was kind of blown with the hookah, didn’t like the hose they used and the smoke was weak – it needs bigger coals or more than 2 small coals for the smoke to be “milky”/ good. We managed to use the other two coals along w the other two that were already on there for a good smoke. But the flavor was spot on, very fruity and slightly minty. I can’t remember what it was called but it was def one of the mixes. The poutine fries were pretty darn good, considering they were pretty basic and we never tried them before. The reason why I gave this place a 4 star review instead of a 3, was because of the bartender that brought over our stuff, Serena. She was super nice and friendly from the start. We’re from out of town as I mentioned before. And we asked her what are some things to do in the area, places to go to, etc. She gave us many good pointers and advice and we truly appreciate that considering it was our first time in Canada. If you go to this lounge – get served by Serena. She will make sure you are taken care of and she is a very sweet person just in the 5-10 minutes we were talking to her.
