Visiting from California, my friend and I came here after landing late in Dallas. We arrived around 2 a.m., and that's when the place really started to get lively. This spot is BYOB, which would have been great had we known in advance, but it's a nice perk for an after-hours spot. We paid $20 to get in, which didn't seem too bad. However, if you plan to fully enjoy the experience, you need to get a section. Here's where things went south with ABI. A young man invited us to join his section that he had already paid for, which was cool. But then, the waitress told him he couldn't have any more guests, right in front of us, and said, "If you want to sit here, you have to pay me $20 each." Wait, what? The guy asked why we were being charged when he had already paid for the section. It was literally him and his homeboy. She repeated it, and security came over to back her up. It felt like we were being hustled. To make matters worse, this was after I had already ordered hookah. If we didn't pay, we wouldn't have had a place to smoke it. So, we ended up paying an extra $40 on top of the $50 for the hookah, which just didn't sit right with me. They also had people walking around taking pictures, then harassing you to buy them. Honestly, the whole night felt like the staff was just trying to hustle us. Since we were out of town, we paid the price, but be cautious about the workers trying to make extra money through some questionable tactics. DJ was good. A mix between Hip Hop, Rap, R&B and afro beats. Would I recommend this place? Not because of the experience we had. It just felt unnecessary and shady to me. read more

Primarily an after hours venue but they provide regular hours festivities as well. Regular hours is not packed at all but after hours 2-5 is a more enjoyable experience . Security is strongly enforced here so please don't play around. There is a $20 cover fee just to get in the door. Hookah for two will be $20 minimum. There a dozen of flavors to choose from but there is multiple other fees so please be mindful. This is a BYOB venue so bring Ming your own bottle is highly encouraged . There has been plenty of renovations to the inside and there is many colorful lights. Atmosphere is mainly hip hop, R&b, and afrobeats. There is food available which is below decent bar food. Spacious venue and they also have a pool table and dance floor. Is nice vibe in Richardson . read more

We had a ball but it was a little pricey. $20 cover charge and a $53 bill for hookah, juice, and BYOB charge. Didn't like that we came on an amateur night where rappers came and rapped every 10-15 mins or so. I just wanted the regular music to play. Other than that, it was clean, vibes were good, hookah was good. read more

Abi Hookah Lounge - Hookah - Hookah Bars Near Me - Richardson, Texas

The empty parking lot and place should've been a giveaway. Maybe they just opened and the crowd will come. Trash place. Trash service. Gas station hookah quality. Came in on Wednesday 10:40 put in order. 5 minutes they bring out the bill and the tip screen is already on. Lol thirsty much. Aight have a tip for taking an order. 25 minutes later hookah comes out. 25 minutes !!! There's no one here except me. Alright one couple came in and they left shortly. Lounge? Far from it, I'm sitting in a box with no padding and leaning on a cold wall. They have ceiling fans running, blowing down my coals. I'm sure rats will appreciate this place. Music.... It's some old Lil Kim. 1997 Megamiz read more

Too loud and noisy. $20 dollars entrance for an empty place (Nothing included). Service is slow 10minutes in an empty place (2 customers including me). I can understand charging for juice but charging for ice DAAA. Expensive hookah (not even a great one). The place looks dangerous with people carrying guns and police outside. It's a No No read more

Dangerous Disaster waiting to happen Fight broke out while I was there, flying hot ash. Bouncers did nothing!! read more

Dirty. And terrible bouncers. What else do You need to know? There are better after hours. read more

I don't wanna be mean, but I didn't like it because music so loud And the price for little too expensive but the hooka was OK read more

Best hookah lounge in Dallas area. I really love and enjoy my time there . Very nice customer service and friendly

The place is a after hours and it's cool as a visitor but if you work there it's trash. They talk to you like a child. They attempted to take my phone for a whole shift after someone cash app'd me for their section which I then paid to the establishment. They never told me their cash app. They charge for everything right down to hookah tips. They want their hookah girls to clean and not help each other with anything. Attitude is horrendous. Security is great. They will charge you for tips, $6 for cups, and will try to talk to you like a child and treat you like a slave. Wouldn't work there again and won't visit the establishment again due to their piss poor management. Very unprofessional. They don't want you on your phone.. it's a club. That's how you promote. I would not have this as my only job because you can get fired or want to quit at any moment just based off of how they treat and talk to grown ass adults read more

Do not..I repeat do not waste your time! The happy hour on the menu was not honored. Once we paid to get in after a while every one is put out to pay to get in again. It is byob. Cups of ice were $5!! The DJ and hookah was the only thing good. I won't return!! read more

Abi Hookah Lounge - Happy hour is not honored - Hookah Bars Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Yeah I won't be back. Me and some friends went and they were charging for cups, ice, ok that's cool but $5 for a cup and $5 for ice. I didn't get the hookah because I do not do it but I saw the prices were outrageous. The place really offers nothing but then charges a cover and the nerve to try and charge for seating. read more

Was the best after-hour hookah lounge in Dallas. However, this is now a money grab. The lounge now charges $300+ for seats or small tables to start, an entry fee, valet parking for most of the lot and high priced hookah. They have done nothing to upgrade the venue, yet keep changing the prices. If you buy hookah with a wrist band any time before 2 am they will make you re-buy an after hour wrist band or a table. If you refuse they will kick you out for the 2-5 am after hour. read more

This place is a hazard . The owner is unprofessional, the security is unprofessional and rude. This hookah pls e is a rip off . You pay $20 /$30 to get in and at 2am you paid for after hour , and the security tells you your seat has been bought and expect for you to move. But where to move if you charging $150 for everywhere to sit. I was there for hour . And they came and took my hookah and demanded i move without nowhere to seat. How rude and unprofessional this place is . People smoke weed in there . This place is just a business that don't deserve my money nor my presence. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME !!!!!!!!!! DONT WASTE YOuR MoNEY !!!!! read more

I would give this place zero stars of I could. Low class.... old furniture... unprofessional staff.... ugly decor and they have the nerve to charge 10 for parking, 20 to get in, and 300 for a section? This place looks like a basement party. No thank you. read more

Security went smoothly, the DJ was amazing as well as the food. It's definitely a great spot for the younger crowd. There were beautiful women from the time that I walked in from the time that I left. I will definitely return. read more

Honestly i want to like this place but coming from Seattle where people take smoking hookah serious this place is not the go to. Hookah is TRASH, packed and not done right making it hella harsh and hard to smoke. The Place is extremely unorganized and security is hella aggressive and they are not consistent, depends if they know you or not if they will treat you with respect and DISRESPECTFUL. They make you leave your section and stand in line again to get BACK IN?! Like who runs this place. If they were at least organized in the way they ran their business it may be worth the price but there are way better hookah lounges at a better price and waaaay better quality hookah than this place. Expect to pay 300$ for trash hookah and a small section then asked to leave and re-enter and PAY AGAIN to get in. Ridiculous. read more

The staff was accommodating. They delivered the hookah quickly and the music was good. The space is also a decent size so I didn't feel squished while enjoying hookah read more

Great for groups, nice servers! Good music and very clean. New management really cleaned up the place and have great deals. Customers are priority. That's was my original post to get 10% off which they promised. They did not keep their word. Plus their are so many hidden fees. They tell you that it's free entrance but charge you a crap load at the end of the night. Their is also a 4 hookah min. I would not go back due to the shadiness. read more

Security was pretty smooth Made us wait 40+ minutes for two hookahs and one of them had bad flavor and setup. That tall black girl server was apparently new but I don't get it. She ignored us the whole time before we tried to place the order. Pretty expending horrible experience But the vibes are cool and it goes until 5 an read more

Omg those people made our night great the owner and the manager rus they really care about their customers they hook us up even though the place was busy it might look weird from the outside but I promise from a business owner it really worth the try good people and they really care about customers definitely the spot in Dallas just try it and yoh will love it read more

Waste of money... Over priced. Boring and you have to leave and come back in some they can verify you paid to stay after 2...

If i could give this place 0 stars i would. Horrible experience. The security was cool. The ugly that bitch that take the money was rude af . She snatched my phone out my hand twice for no reason when i was tryna pay. The Servers was trash af. Very rude .. taking shit but didn't do shit. I will never in my life go back in the place. I should call the ppl on them for smoking weed n prostitute in the back . Horrible horrible experience. Do not waste your money . Very unprofessional. read more

Not worth sh*t! This place is not air conditioned and it's Texas! What in God's name?! Like it's boiling and they charge you a bunch for tables that other people will try to sit in. I was literally fighting over a fan. It's expensive for some flavored water vapor and music that's stupid. Don't waste your time or money. Wish I could get my 3 hours back (only spent that much time there so I could get my money's worth). Horrible experience. read more

after hours on Saturdays , abi's is the place to be !! love that it's bring your own bottle !!! we have a time every weekend !!!

Money grab for a terrible location. You pay for entry to an empty bar. It's byob but you pay to drink. Haha. Better luck next time. This location has changed from place to place. It's only a matter of time for this to bankrupt. Edit: broken glass in the area from the cheap furniture. (In an area that we paid for) super savage. I surely hope they can grasp the class that the DFW area deems respectable. read more

Abi Hookah Lounge - Super empty - Hookah Bars Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I'm leaving my review on Yelp because they deleted my post on Facebook! Upon arrival I was told to pay a $5 coverage fee for myself as well as a bottle (this establishment is BYOB). Never did they state that I would be charged a $15 fee for half a bottle. So at the time of checkout I asked them what was the $15 fee for, the lady stated it was for the bottle. I told her that's not what the guy told be and she replied "oh he's new" with an attitude I might add. Then proceeded to charge me. Only reason why I'm giving two stars is because the DJ was good. My friends and I will NEVER be back to this establishment. read more

I love Abi. Saaed is very helpful and will accommodate you if anything goes wrong. Best after hours in north Dallas. Great music good hookah and I feel safe when I'm there. read more

I enjoyed myself here and the area is nice also. Will be coming back for sure . Great place to come and hang out with your friends even if you don't smoke hookah. read more

This place was terrible. I only give it 1 star because I can't rate it lower than that. My and my friends came here because our friend was doing a show. ALL the staff had bad ass attitudes. No one greeted us when we came in the door, but they were quick to charge the $10 cover charge though. We waited 45 minutes for hookah and their was only TEN people in there. Our "server" had a funky ass attitude & then charged us REGULAR price for hookah that was TERRIBLE. We were there during happy hour and our server came to us with the bill to say "there is no happy hour" she didn't explain anything to us, and everyone was acting like we were bothering them like some pests. Terrible service, terrible hookah, just an overall terrible experience. DO NOT COME HERE. Side note, one of those bitches was washing their panties in the sink. Shut shit the shit down, it's a biohazard. AND it was ROACHES!!!! read more

Very nice csr , very interesting and inviting.. crew very nice and welcoming .$ well spent. Specially on Friday night. read more

Never go to this place waste of your time . The Arabs do not care . Will changer you whatever they want . They shut down the place early and you will not get a refund even if you been there for 10 min . They should close this down . Piece of shit !!!!!!!!! 11/25:2018 read more

Had the pleasure of going to abi last night to celebrate a birthday. We booked a vip reservation for 7pm but it opened at 7 and our area was not ready but the manager there was verry accomodating. We finally got in at 720 and had hookah by 740. They provided us with ice, cups our 3 hookah pipes and gave us an additional pipe for not being ready when we arrived. They even held our section when we left to go on our party bus ride. Overall good experience. read more

As soon as I walked in I was immediately greeted by Willy! He was quick to take my order and had my hookah to me before I knew it! By far the greatest service I've gotten from any hookah lounge here in Dallas! The hookah was also the one of the best I've had here in Dallas. They also have a great night life with a great Dj , Dj Backspin who has great song selection and always has the place on their feet! I highly recommend you visit Abi Hookah Lounge for great service and great hookah!!!!! read more

Worst experience ever. I tried getting a buzz but the music that was being played kept sobering me up. Over price. Not worth it. Music was boring af. Don't recommend this place, one of the worst hookah bars ever!!.. all my Latino people stay AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!‍ read more

Came for the afterhours music was trash, charge you to get in, to bring in your alcohol, for ice, for a cup... Wanted to charge us 90.00 for two hookahs.. This is the place we came because Cloud 9 was filled to capacity at 2:30 AM! The music was all spanish, and I took that as a direct sign they had no interest in black people being there. Since the majority of the crowd was black why was there no hip hop? The entire vibe of the night was off. The door guy was an asshole and couldn't even assure us if we would be able to get hookah once we paid to get inside. I mean why are we even paying to get into a hookah lounge if we can't even smoke hookah? We just paying to get inside stand around with a bottle and listen to trash music?? NO!!!! I would have rather paid all that for Cloud 9 at least although they play afro beats they switch it up, they know their crowd and they cater to that crowd! read more

I've been to a lot hookah places and have to say even though this place is new is def top notch. Orange mint always hit and it's a fun place no matter what day. Our server Willy takes care of us like family! read more

Waste of time! My friends and I came in around 12:40 and paid 10 to get in. We then was place in a section of seats, their was only 3 of us at the time! A bigger group had came in and a guy seating people asked us to move and I told him there is more of us on the way, because where he was trying to put us where it would not be enough room for the remainder of our friends. I stated I'm ok with moving as long as we can all seat together once they arrive and he said ok! So we moved. Then our friends arrived 20 minutes later and I spot him walking and asked him is there anywhere for all of us to sit snd he said right now no.....that pissed me off because we already had a spot for everyone to seat but he made us move and my friends had to STAND UP!! so that was a NO FOR ME! Then at 1:48 they turned the light on and the Dj told everyone to stop what you are doing put your hookah down get off your phone and get out! Straight like that! RUDE ASFFF!!! We did not get to finish our hookah! So apparently it was after hours time! We all had green wristbands but if you had white you can get back in! NOBODY TOLD US THAT WE CAN PAY 15 for the after hours too or just pay 10 and leave at 2... so if you had a green wristband since you already paid 10 you can pay another 10 to get in so basically they scamming an extra 5 if you don't pay that 15 the first time! I WILL NEVER BE BACK HERE THEY ARE A BIG SCAM DO NOT COME HERE!!! And THEY CLOSE AT 4:30 not 5 read more
