The downstairs area is small but they do have seating upstairs. The food is pretty good. I had a steak quesadilla and fries. It turned me off a little because the ingredients listed on the menu didn't say cilantro was in the quesadilla i ordered. I don't eat cilantro but didn't think to ask not to add it because it wasn't listed. IYKYK. It took about 10-15m to get the food which put me off because i was sitting at the bar and you can see the cook and they were not busy at all, but other people around the bar had ordered food and theirs took longer as well. Their house tequila is Teremana and is $12 a shot. Just so you know where they are starting at. Hookah starts at $37... BUT they have FREE hookah on Mondays. So it's definitely note worthy. Oh... parking is valet if you can't park on the street. $10 on weekdays $20 on weekends. read more

Went to the new Cru Camp Creek because they were advertising free hookah Monday. I got my check you saw I was charged for a hookah, when I asked my waitress she said the free hookah was a house mix. I looked everywhere to see if it was specified anywhere, and nope. I paid it, because it wasn't worth the back and forth. So if you go for free hookah Monday be mindful. Other then that the food was so good, I had a salmon philly. read more

Came here while out with family for a cousin's night out. We made a reservation for 20ppl and arrived on-time. Despite being on time, our table was given away to another party. Instead of correcting it or providing something for the inconvenience, we were crammed into a 10seater booth so the couples had to sit on each others laps. While there, the music was good and we had a good time. However, when it was time to check out, the waitress got our bill incorrect and charged the wrong amount for our bottles. She gave us a really hard time about correcting it and was hesitant to give us a receipt for the refunded amount. The night lasted longer than needed. Needless to say, I'm not in a rush to go back. If I did go back then I wouldn't come with a large party because reservations don't seem to be honored. read more

When I tell you this place is such a vibe. They definitely helped me celebrate my birthday. The service was amazing and our waitress made sure we had what we wanted. The food was amazing. The drinks will definitely get you there and there is a wide variety. They also have hookah and several flavors to choose from. They have tables, sections, and bar seating. Also, you can book a free 2 hour section to bring your birthday in which comes with a free bottle of champagne. read more

The service was decent overall. The drinks were enjoyable, and the lamb chops were absolutely fantastic! However, it was disappointing that the time limit wasn't communicated until the very end. read more

I've been to many lounges and not naan one of them ever had my eyes burning! I thought it was just me and my party, but I overheard another table mention their eyes were burning. Overall experience was alright. Hookah tasted great despite it taking over an hour to be given. On top of that hour wait, it was initially given to the wrong table. The drinks were good! Atmosphere was dope and chill. I'd recommend trying other locations outside of the Midtown one but Midtown was cool. read more

I like the concept of Cru and I congratulate the brand for the many locations and successes. I just have cemented in my head that I'm not a fan.... In short, I always feel like the venues are small, I have very limited options on the menu, and when I leave my bill is higher than If I went to another establishment with similar vibes. I totally get how they may keep cost low but some of the menu items are just not tasty at all. The burger is steamed to avoid frying and is served with a side of BBQ chips. #GROSS.....It appears they do this with many of their options....Your taste buds won't be too delighted because they can only do so much with the food. No fries for typical food duos.... (Quesadillas, Burgers, Wings)... Seating is uncomfortable and the the whole ambiance of the venue seems like they get you with a "bigger picture" (Hookah/music/alcohol), but when you really look at it, you're paying significantly higher for a much lower quality experience. I literally witnessed them serve Fried Rice to a customer on a flat plastic tray with a sheet of tissue paper under it. Can we not serve a plate or bowl for rice? I've stumbled in a handful of times over the past 5 years when on this side of town but this is my last visit. It's just a very low quality experience with marginal food. The Hookahs are so-so also but again, I think the customer isn't fully aware of how it should be made. read more

This place was cool but, just veryyyyyyy small place considering the pictures I seen on YELP. I was like wow...how pictures are so deceitful. My friend ordered a hookah since it was her birthday but, if we had any more people to join us...we would of really been elbow to elbow. We sat upstairs in the long bench seating which was for groups but, we had to leave cause it was only about 13of us but, we left because there wasn't any DJ and NO DANCING. Cool a e but, just small space. read more

My friend and I were outside when a serious car accident happened and GUNSHOTS were fired. We ran into Cru for safety and I decided to order a shot to take the nerves off of what literally just happened outside. I did have a $1 Fanta from outside that I used for a chaser with my shot. The security guards weren't too worried about the drink, more my safety so nothing was said. But one the bartenders with the worst attitude was willing to kick us out over a $1 drink after explaining the situation outside. I would've been willing to purchase 2 or 3 more $10 shots for my friend and I considering the situation we just went through but this woman really cared more about the $1 Fanta than the safety of the community that she serves. Absolutely disgusting. The owners should really consider hiring people who reflect how they want to represent themselves to the community. It was my last night in Atlanta after 6 years... great way too remember it lol. Honestly don't even know why I tipped... maybe because I've been a server for 7 years but hindsight makes me feel like she didn't deserve my money read more

Everytime I come here, it says open online and the establishment is closed. I've checked on their website and also on Instagram. This is my 5th time having this experience. If I could give them no stars, I would. I've even called 7 times no answer. read more

CRU Urban Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Cru lounge is located right on the side of Ponce City Market on the lower level of a residential building. Upon arrival parking can be tricky as there are limited spots and you will have to use valet for a fee. I recommend parking on the street if possible. When you enter it is a small bar and a staircase to an upper level which is loft style. The space is small and usually a nice vibe when not over packed with people. They have good hookah specials on slower days. Bathrooms are located on the main level and the dj is set up on the upper level. The aesthetic is green grassy walls and neon signs. Hookah flavors are your standard flavors and food is your regular bar style tapas. For payment I recommend using a CashApp card to transfer funds on ton once you receive your bill. I had an experience where a waitress ran a debit card of mine and a friends that she claim declined although we both had over 10 times the bill in the account. I finally used a credit card and it went through. Not sure what or how she was performing the transaction but it is better to be careful in these scamming times. read more

The best hookah spot in the city hands down!!!! Not only is this place fun but on a Sunday night there's happy hour with 2/3/4$ shot options and half off hookah! Oh- And by checking in on Yelp you get a percentage off of your first cocktail! This is located in a building area across from an apartment complex so parking gets funny. You can either pay $10 to park on the side of the lounge, or park in the garage across the street and pay, or find a spot on the street where each hour is about $2 which i think is the best deal. The lounge isn't very big, but there is a downstairs with bar stool seating and a couple of high top tables, and then upstairs are the couches, booths and DJ set up. I went on a Sunday and the DJ was amazing. My friends and I had wayyyyyy too much fun. The drinks were flowing, everyone at all tables and couches had a great time and danced the night away. From what I understand the couch and booth seating is first come first served, there aren't any prices that need to be paid to sit either, and whatever you buy us just brought to where you are located. The waitresses and waiters are really attentive and get your food, drinks, and hookah as fast as possible! Sometimes with a crowd it can get backed up but they will let you know. Also, football will be on the big screens on Sundays so you can turn up and stay up to date on the games! Finally, this place also has options to have CBD oil in your hookah for onky about $10 more! This place is amazing!!! Best night in Atlanta for sure!!!! read more

A little bit of a late review but I've been busy. This was my second time visiting this place while in Atlanta. Came by here as one of the spots my brother wanted to chill at for his bday. It's an upstairs and downstairs lounge with hookah, food, drinks and music. This is a place where you need a reservation in order to get a table. It's okay on the inside, nothing special. I didn't have a drink but my brother and his friend did and he said they were good. The hookah was good, they have a lot of flavors and mixes to choose from. They have different levels of flavors and the prices go up depending on what type of hookah you want. They have a small menu with bar foods and plates. The food is okay, we kept it simple and got wings, fries, Mac n cheese and something else but I honestly forgot. The wings were decent, they loved the fries and the Mac was okay but for the price that the side cost it wasn't worth it. Our waitress was nice and answered our questions, the service was a little slow and they weren't even that busy yet. Prices are what they are, I don't really see what the hype is but it's a cool little spot but I have been to better spaces/hookah lounges. The first time I came was a few years back and I feel like they need to do some updates to the space and decor because it looks the same. read more

Paid over $120 for food and still not full. Service wasn't great. Food was trash. The music is so loud you can't order or speak to your company. They wouldn't give me a cup of water but offered a $9 bottle of water (in a plastic bottle) . Wouldn't come back, a waste of time and money and leaving with a headache due to the music (they started the loud music after we order food but woulda left if we walked in with this crazy ness going on ... and all of our parties food came a Out at separate times so didn't even get to eat together. read more

Waited and waited and waited for no one to come. Even had the DJ call someone up...very disappointed in my experience here, or lack there of

I went a couple weeks ago &nd didnt think it was so small but it was ok because we got there early so we had a comfortable place to sit Its not a cheap place so be ready to spend a lil money haha The henny hulk was amazin &nd they add a punch to it which was good, I tried henny margarita after that The plates are small but I got salmon plate &nd my friend got nachos The salmon was amazin &nd so was the presentation I didn't get pic because I was so hungry, the kitchen opened later than their opening &nd our server leontae was very attentive and nice, she suggested the drinks and chatted with us &nd made us feel comfortable &nd welcomed. We tipped on top of gratuity The white gummy hookah was the perfect flavor. We will definitely come back! read more

A very cute hookah spot on Edgewood that plays good music! We went around 9pm on a Friday and were the only party there until we left (we didn't mind).

Drinks are good. Will have to try the hookah. Food is decent for the type of lounge CRU is. I would go back after a night out.

This food is horrible. Most things that they have in the restaurant is spoiled. They do not properly store food. Most of the refrigerators are broken or leaking water. The other day they have food sitting in the warmer and water was leaking all over their plates. They do not properly temp food, and I do not believe that the chefs know what they are doing. They really need to have an inspector come out and shut the place down. Their food is horrible the owners cheap he makes you pay $25 for a handful of fries and a handful of wings is absolutely not worth it. I do not recommend anybody come here and spend money especially on if anything just go there to smoke hookah.... The bartenders, suck and all have attitudes. This environment is super toxic and just a horrible place to support. read more

Cute spot. Horrible service. I have only been to cru only three times but ALL times - horrible experiences. Gave it another chance when my friend told me to meet her there... just came and sat down in an empty seat at the bar and the bartender told me to get up she's saving that seat for someone (within 5 minutes of me sitting down) and she said sorry she needs money tonight, as if I wasn't going to purchase anything? Listen, I'm a Business Owner and Manager, so I understand the importance of customer service and hospitality. IF she would've been nicer, I would've given her a $20 tip or more just for one drink, but she'd never know that. I expect at bare minimum kindness and attentiveness when going out. I'll never go back here. read more

Do NOT book reservation for a party here. I booked a reservation for 20 people here at least 2weeks prior to the event. It was my 30th birthday party. I called, texted , and dmed Cru lounge and received my confirmation. I even told them I'd like to buy a few bottles (that which they would not disclose the accurate price for till the day of). I've been to Cru lounge at Peters St before and I had such a great time so I figured this would be a safe bet....Come to find out once I was at the lounge that the reservation was only for TWO HOURS. I had friends who drove an hour to get there and we were beyond upset. We spent $700 on 3 bottles (2 house drinks, and Don Julio ..if you want name brand it's $250 ^) we were also buying beers, food, and drinks on the side. PLUS 3 of my friends bought 3 hookahs close to the reservation ending and they kicked us out from our section that had 18 people in it to pass it off to 4 gentleman. What is the point of getting a section with bottles if there is a time cap...that was most certainly NOT communicated???! I was heartbroken to have to end my birthday at 12am. Nowhere in the reservation did they communicate a time window which makes no sense to me because I clearly stated I was having a party of 20 people for a bday celebration. A 2hr event?? Not to mention, we were going to keep ordering drinks, and food , not to take up space. Honestly I was mortified by my experience and had to apologize to my friends who drove more than a hour and arrive at 10:30-11pm for the never receiving communication or accommodation for this event. I love Cru but this truly put a terrible taste in my mouth. read more

This place has horrible service. The waitresses had poor time management. The kitchen takes unnecessarily long to make basic bar food. God forbid you order hookah, don't expect a change of coals. There's also a 2 hour limit, despite the wait for service. I would not recommend this location read more

All of the staff was friendly. Bathrooms clean and stocked. read more

CRU Urban Lounge - Panorama of first level - Lounges Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Went here to watch an NBA finals game. The place is really small, like someone's loft apartment. I was really confused on how the reservations work but it sounded like you can only reserve an area for 2 hours and then they have to give it to another reservation? Thankfully, we didn't have to move. If you have a big group and will be drinking, it's cheaper and better to buy a bottle and split the cost. The mixed drinks were $13 a piece. I ordered the strongest white drink (per my waitress) but...I really couldn't tell. I also ordered food. I had the chicken nachos which weren't that great and they were $12. I wouldn't suggest ordering food. I didn't get hookah but the prices seemed a bit steep from other places I've been to. The location is dope though. I'd suggest this place for small groups looking to chill, sip and enjoy each other's company. read more

Nice gem, tucked away in a loft complex in Old Fourth Ward. My friend and I visited on a slow night, Thursday, which had its' perks. This two-level lounge-like hookah haven had a chill vibe and cool ambience. The decor was nice-urban art with a modern touch. Music played and a couple of large screen TVs were on. The hookah was fine; we tried a watermelon, peach, mango blend. Didn't produce a lot of smoke like I wanted for it to, but it was smooth. The hookahs are $20 or $25, coals were replaced for free. Drinks were good too. This establishment does not serve food. I'm certain this place can attract a crowd. When we asked, we were told the busiest nights were Wednesday, which they offer half off hookahs, and Friday and Saturday. read more

Not a very classy place and they have the nerve to have bad drinks that are not worth the price. Very disappointed.

Perfect midtown low-key spot for good drinks, good music, tasty bites and hookah. My advice would be to arrive early or make a reservation. This place is pretty tiny and standing room only doesn't look like it would be much fun. I showed up on a Friday around 8pm and the timing couldn't have been better. My host was Kara and she was the sweetest. She sat me on the main level at a high top where I could see the door and full view of the bar. Since I enjoy people watching this was perfect. The music was on point! A nice mix of new and old. Although I love 90s R&B the early 00s hip-hop hit the stop as well. As the night progressed the music did as well. By the time I left they were well into the top 20 hip hop hits of 2017. At the time of my visit I was a cheese eater and I ordered the mac and cheese and felt like i was in cheese heaven! TRY IT! Soooo Good. My server was Maria. During my visit she was in training and did an amazing job. She was extremely humble and not afraid to stop, ask questions or confirm menu items. She made sure my experience was great and in return her service was spectacular. She was attentive and very informative. This seems to have been the theme of everyone working at Cru. Great service in a small lounge vibe. Oh and they have valet. Pull right up to the front door. I definitely recommend this place and will go back for a visit. read more
