Came for the hookah & enjoyed the experience. Great place to relax and vibe out to music, hookah & drinks. Would definitely come back again. read more

Central 111 - Hookah Bars Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Went here tonight with my friends and watched a dude walk straight in without showing his I.d or paying. When we walked up they carded us and told the males $20 was the charge and ladies were free. One of my friends is 20 and we used to be regulars here until today. Because we literally saw a group of other people walk up show their i.ds because we had but none of the guys paid. What kind of establishment are y'all running? If it's 21 and up y'all need to advertise it! Also they were closed til 9 for a private party we showed up and left and came back at 9 and they told us to come back at 10 to get turned away. Your security tonight were trash and I am so disappointed after how much time we have spent faithfully coming there. Like this was a hella trash experience. read more

After a night out at the movies my husband Bobby and I went to a restaurant I had a Groupon for called Central 111.... A Tapas Cafe... a Hookah bar. I am highly allergic to smoke but since we did not detect any smoke smell we stayed. Eddie, the manager/barkeep person who waited on us was absolutely the nicest guy... very sweet and helpful. Problem was their chef had not shown up!?!? They accommodated us anyway.... We each had a glass of merlot and they made us a caprese salad, a small marguerita pizza & fried shrimp!! Delicious! Eddie is definitely an asset to Central 111!!! read more

Horrible experience before... I made this post I gave the bartender & the owner a chance to correct their wrongs.The greedy money hungry owner decided that money was worth more than this post ...when I first got there they served me out of a dirty glass that look like someone had drank out of it already ...the bartender switched it out and brought me a new drink ..I order my hookah and it was very harsh the hookah person tried to fix it to no avail.. when I turned the hookah around I realized.. that it was filthy it was a disposable hose that already been used... please see attached pictures ...this place is dirty ..serves dirty drinks and dirty hookahs ...don't waste your time... this is a total pass by/rip off spot read more

Central 111 - Worst Tapas Bar experience Ever. - Hookah Bars Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

They were out of everything!! No one was there to seat us. I ordered dip and that took forever to come. We were going to get hookah but apparently they were out of things and waiting for the owner to bring more stuff for the hookah. It was just terrible! read more

Went here a week or so ago and had a great time with friends. DJ was great, service was great and so was the food. The Two stars is for everything that happened after. I am in the military and due to operational commitments and life in general I have been to busy to celebrate my birthday for the past 5 years. This year was different and I wanted to have my party here. After a cat and mouse game of trying to contact this establishment on every media at which they exist on and recieving no response I decided to have my white friend contact them a few hours after I did via fb and asked the exact same question I have been asking in every message that I have sent and wouldn't you know it. BOOM. They respond in 10 minutes. 10 freaking minutes, after ignoring all my request and having my facebook request on read. Not saying they racist just saying if your African American you may want to have a non African American friend speak on your behalf if you want results. The 3 star deduction is for having to change the location on my party. read more

This is a wonderful bar/ hookah lounge. It's the only place in town where I can get a delicious steak, a bottle of wine and a hookah all in one go! Plus there tapas menu is great as well! read more

This food is heavily salted and covered in a variety of decorative herbs and spices in the most annoying way. But I wasn't upset because, as much as they fashion themselves as a tapas bar, they're just an empty club that tries to serve good food. As in, the menu looks good. I wanted to try several things. But in my heart, I knew better. The best thing was the lemon pepper chicken pasta, even with the chicken being super dry. My steak bites were unnecessarily well done and I would've said something had I ever seen my server again. The servers were always nowhere to be found. No one was behind the bar until after 10pm...and THAT guy literally opened a bottle of liquor by ripping the seal with his teeth. Lucky for him it was pretty empty on a Saturday night. Upon leaving, there were probably 25 people there. Half was the lackadaisical staff. The music was 80's pop and rock and then some of the "hits" from this decade. All of which were playing in videos on the dozen TVs everywhere. I don't know what kinda place this is, and I'm perfectly OK with that. Never returning. read more

The bartender was nice. Wings were good. Mixed musu Old school and new school, mixed crowd. But don't start a tab, the bartender will over charge you and avoid you when you ask for a price breakdown. Also, Nice ambiance, sanitation needs improvement, weird smell. But it was a great time. read more

They were very rude they over charge and the drinks were watered down the server continuously used fowl language while speaking to me I bought 4 drinks all together and my told was over 80 dollars will never return when I confronted him about my total he got irate and started cussing at me and my party was charged gratuity (20%) when the service nor the order was worth any tip at all also was never told there was a gratuity fee no sign or anything. read more

The place was ratchet and they ran out of hookah. How do you run out of hookah at a hookah lounge?? Also I know bartenders were busy but it took us 20 mins for them to acknowledge us for a drink. read more

Came in here on Sunday night ! Very pleasant and very cool in here ! Love the vibe ! Food is very very tasty ! The bartender Eddie is awesome! The cook showed up late ! He made my friend and I some very good fresh cut fries that just the perfect seasoning! It's tapas food we ordered several things to share ! Worth to come in early ! read more

I'm writing this as on old lady who really has no business in a bar at midnight......my days of shaking my booty on a dance floor are neatly tucked away in my 20s. Central 111 is sooooo not my stee-lo. I should have stayed home and watched Game of Thrones as originally planned. Now that's my idea of a great night. read more

I really couldn't make up my mind on what would be an appropriate rating because I came here for dinner on a Sunday afternoon with my Mom (yes, my Mom! She's been here twice before already and loved the food!) so my rating is for it as a dinner venue, not a club. I didn't get a chance to check it for a night out but I suspect the rating would be higher and I plan to come back another time to confirm, maybe next time I'm in town. Upon first entry I thought two things: 1) This place is not meant to be seen with the lights on, 2) I forgot you can smoke indoors in Virginia and I'm totally grossed out by the smoke smell. Hasn't it been over 12 hours? Why does it still smell??? Decor (2/5): It's like when you're out at a dark club and you can't believe how beautiful everyone is and then at the end of the night you go outside and you see everyone in brighter lights and........... YIKES! Some of the decorations were really interesting, like the wall painting and stuff but I didn't understand the random skinny glitter streamers here and there in the ceiling, the odd rectangle cushions attached to the walls, the cheap and poorly painted over tables that you'd find in a dive bar, etc. I think it probably works at night when it's dark and it's strictly a bar but when the lights are on and you're having dinner, it's not quite the same effect. But in the end, unless you're bringing a date or something, who cares? Service (5/5): Who can complain about a super cute waitress with a super cute accent? Angelina was her name? I don't know but she was super nice. Food (4/5): Cool Tuna - Very spicy. I think tuna is one of my least favorite for sashimi but this was pretty good. Sea Scallops - The best of what we had. Large and sweet. Spicy Oysters - 2nd best. The batter was a little thick but still very nice. Baby Buffalo Burgers - Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to a perfect temperature. Drinks (3.5/5): My Favorite Martini - was pretty much the same as a good margarita w/the ice strained out and served in a martini glass. I like margaritas tho. Upside Down Pineapple Cake - Very sweet but interesting. My Mom loved it. When we went, they were having the martinis and wine at 1/2 off from 5-9pm. Although the website says that Sundays there's bogo free tapas, they don't. But the prices are reasonable and we were pleasantly surprised about the 1/2 drinks so we didn't mind. Overall, the food was good and if I was planning a night out, I'd definitely go here. I mean, tapas til 3am??? read more

Many words spring to mind when describing Central 111; disappointing, dark, disturbing and possibly dangerous. Given the Great Neck neighborhood, I was expecting an upscale tapas bistro but instead found a poorly designed lounge. Immediately after entering I thought perhaps it was a strip club given there is an elevated dance platform. One wonders if the place meets safety code given the amateur construction of the interior and the fabric wrapped around the halogen pendant lamps. Fire hazard? One wonders about that, as well as the gender of the baby-doll attired server. She (?) was actually very nice and helpful, if a bit slow in checking back with our party. The tapas were OK but not exciting and certainly more expensive than they should be. The tuna on cucumber was tasty but messy to eat and was overwhelmed by the spicy sauce in which it was covered. I had looked forward to trying Central 111 but found it failed to meet expectations. This is one dive that I won't be visiting again. read more

I've went here a handful of time to give this place a honest review and I won't be going back anymore. The drinks are very expensive, the music is terrible and there's not really anywhere to dance. I'm not much of a hookah person so i can't really give you an opinion on that. The hookah smoke didn't bother me though. It's not too overwhelming. Overall I'm just not a fan of this place read more

I call this place Cheers of Virginia Beach ("Where everyone knows your name"). It's definitely a spot that has a lot of regulars (and constant new comers). I may be biased since I come here all the time but everyone is super friendly and the food is top notch. As far as it being a hookah bar with full bar selection I'd say this is the place to go. Drinks are always good and everything is reasonably priced. If you're a shot taker you can't come here and not ask for a Vegas Bomb it's a must (kind of a tradition these days lol) One thing to note they love throwing napkins in the air on the weekends so you'll walk with tissue on your shoes all night. The one downside I'll admit is there is only two bathrooms one for the men the other for women. On the hookah side there is one unisex bathroom. So wait times can be lengthy on packed nights but with the layout of the bar nothing they can do about it. Just something to be aware of. Central is one of those place you can sit and relax or get up on tables and dance (you won't be judged lol although I'll never do it). The music can vary depending on the night but typically top 40 mixed with some throwback jams is what you'll hear most. It's a fun place for guys/girls or group night out. Weekends it can get pretty packed. So just be ready to be shoulder to shoulder with other patrons on those nights. This is one of those type of places everyone just fits in and have a good time. read more

Central 111 has a cool vibe to it, music is different but still pumpin and their are some fine white slices in this cut!!! Bad thing is most of the cuties in here come with a tough guy waiting somewhere to put the hands on you when you make your approach! Drinks are good but drink as fast as possible due to the high probability of you wearing it, due to the usually large crowd and small club size. read more

We went here for girls night out. The doorman told us all their tables were reserved, we decided to go n anyway. THERE WERE PLENTY OPEN TABLES!! I don't understand. We ordered chicken wraps to start served w salsa. Delicious! Of course portions are small. My friend drink was weak, so I just ordered a shot. Then we went to the hookah lounge, hookah come w a lil plate of food. Which was also delicious. The lounge was really cool. Laid back. We chilled in a booth and had a gd time. Eventually we went back to the other side. And it was still TABLES OPEN!! Even though it was more ppl now. Music had its own feel. Women were dancing on 2 tables. Overall gd time because of my friends. And I may return happy hour some day for the food read more

This used to be one of my hangouts. Those late nights are long over but I still like to venture off for a fun night here and there. My group decided to check this place out after dinner Saturday night. The bartender I know from the Onelife Fitness happened to be working and he was chatting up the hookah lounge/bar next door. On a whim we decided to trek over next door to smoke up some hookah. Shortly after the place got really packed and before we knew it bedtime had arrived. I definitely miss hanging out at this place like I used to. This is where all the beautiful people go. The place isn't big enough to be a dance club. My preference is to roll in there to drink a few beers and people watch...you can add smoking a hookah to that list now. Next time I see one of their wild parties advertised I'll be sure to return! read more

Food very bad. Happy hour not worth it. Spent $50.00 on 1/2 price drinks? Appetizers are not good. Will not go back.

Very diverse crowd. They played great music including hip hop, R&B and rap, and the hookah was amazing.

As someone who works at a hookah lounge it was definitely an enjoyable time the food was alright but that's what you expect at most hookah lounges, the DJ is decent idk why some people are upset that the dj didn't play what they wanted to hear, it's not their job to cater to every single persons music taste it's to please the overall customers and to appear to a younger audience, decent Shisha flavors, if you want a good hookah get a milk base, it's more smooth and you can't taste the milk, if you want to taste liquor with your hookah get it but it's a waste of money tbh and super overrated. The hookah smoke was pretty good and I'll probably go again read more

I'd been here a couple of times within the last year and wasn't really feeling it. It was totally empty, the music was a cross between an elevator and a circa 1995 rave and the crowd was less than hype. The staff was expectedly made up of the beautiful people, but for me that wasn't nearly enough to salvage what could have been a nice hip cosmopolitan club. But I went back last week and this place banged. We rolled up around midnight and there was a nice crowd inside but not overly crowded. The crowd was a nice mix of smiling but not rowdy people. The DJ was spinning the hits but managed to keep it from feeling like you were listening to your car radio. Hired strippers shook their junk on a pillowy stage and even some normal girls let loose. Best news: Full tapas bar sold until 3am! Fun night, might have to go again. read more

A customer at work recommended this place the other day so I thought I would drop in. Showed up just before the night started swinging on a Friday. Dee took care of me this evening. She is such a doll and made sure my visit was a welcomed one. I got a pina colada hookah and a gin & tonic. The drinks were well poured. The hookah hung tough for the 2 hours I was there and tasted great. Dee made sure my coals were tended to. I sampled the lamb, falafel and pita with humus. The snacks were very, very tasty. Great spices. I've never had lamb so good. The atmosphere was spacey with a super 90's feel. For a woman going to a club stag (all by herself) I had so much fun and felt so welcomed & comfortable. Central 111 will be a venue I will certainly return to. read more

we were in there for 30 minutes. the hookah didn't last. it was to tall in the table to rotate the coals. the martinis didn't take like there were anything but sugar in them. the service felt as though we weren't welcome. read more

Great staff, drinks & food. Server fully explained hookah and tapas to us. She kept food & drink flowing. Great bites. First ordered calamari and a spinach/artichoke/crab dip.

Central 111 - Hookah Bars Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I have been there often and I really have never had a bad time. I give it 4 stars, because I wish it were a little bigger! The food (tapas) is great. And the drink list is extensive. The decor is awesome..love it. Definitely a trendy place to take your girly-girl friend from out of town. The crowd is definitely random...you have the clubbish-type, the euro-mod type and then just the regular shmoe's. Definitely reccomend checking this place out! Gets PACKED around 11-1130. read more

Excellent food, drinks and service. Also a fun party spot in the evenings if you're bored.

Even before I DJ'd at this place I loved it. Its definitely a locals favorite. They book all the top DJs and even when we are not working there its a stop off for us partying! The food is incredible. Try the Steak Oscar or Chicken 111! Great staff, great people chilling, and great music (Im biased on that last part)! read more

I had a blast here! Dj. Joe Fu was there and the music was good! There were alot of people there. Drinks are a little pricey... But its great neck. So it's understandable. I like that it's right next to venue 112. So you can go back and forth. We had a huge table reserved. So, needless to say it was sweettt!! I liked it here and would suggest coming here on a saturday. Not a whole lot of room to dance. But cool place to people watch and just have a good time with friends. read more

Went their before a concert. We were the only ones their. staff was nice. Ordered two of their slider trays and calamari. The burgers were ok at best with a ham slice and pineapple on it called a Hawaiian. But the worst thing by far is the calamari. It really was inedible. It was chewy with a strange fish flavor. Had no calamari texture and was quite possibly the worse calamari I have ever had. But it looks to be a nice trendy bar scene at night. read more

Went this establishment last Friday night. Had a good time there. I close my bar tab out for 47 sum odd dollars and head home. The next day I wake up and check my account and there's an additional charge on my bank statement for 175 dollars. I have contacted my bank to settle the issue. If you go here make sure you hold on to your receipts and always close out your tab with every drink and don't let the bartenders get a chance to rip you off lie I was. The sad part is the night was great until then. Hopefully this doesn't happen to you. Be warned... read more

The waitress and Security was Awesome however the DJ sucked. He played everything HE wanted to hear. Please hire a new DJ. HE didn't know when to cut a song off! read more

I was a little worried about coming here with my friends at first, but when I came in everything looked great, the customer service was fantastic... my bartender was Angie, and then another guy came in named Devin I believe. they both made awesome drinks and talked to me the whole time while I felt like the 3rd wheel with my buddies yet they were amazingly efficient and just made me feel at home. I definitely recommend coming here and definitely seeing these two! read more
