So I, of course, feeling the need always to explore new cocktail bars or restaurants in my hometown when visiting home, was pretty excited for the opportunity to check out Hush Hush. As a true millennial Gemini, I celebrate my birthday for the whole month, so I quickly texted my family and friends; this is where I wanted to go. What I love about Hush Hush is how it's encouraging and pushing folks to step out of their comfort zone in their attire and dress more to the vibes of this cocktail house (Think Soho, ABA, Casablanca, and Elephante). You're bound to see more desert tones, muted colors, flowy pants, basically anything resort wear. It's cool to see this cocktail house make you feel like you're not in El Paso. The music is different, more loungey, to where you can hear everyone at your table. Of course, there's still a DJ, but damn, Hush Hush is intentionally geared for those who love to go out but need top-shelf cocktails without the eye rolls or the bartenders staring at us with blank eyes. Hush Hush is a true game changer. The lines might get crazy, but I suggest getting there early so you can snag your photos and a solid table/spot. There are three main bar areas, but my fave was the velvet room. I suggest catching a drink on the second floor if you get there early enough to get an eagle eye's view of the establishment. Attention to detail was on point, and I appreciated the homework and research done before the opening of this spot. It's an elevated experience for the city and one I wish every city in the States had tbh.

Prior to coming I heard nothing but great things from locals who live here recommending it. Went last night and was wowed. Not only was the hookah smooth and flavorful it was prices well. The atmosphere was what I wanted. Great music with nice mix of genre's everything flowed well. The staff was exceptionally nice. The owner went out of his way to make sure I was good. This is the type of service everyone wants wherever they go. The owner talked to us as we smoked very down to earth and was a great host. Also saw him speak to other guest as they walked in. Very nice place. This will definitely be my home while I'm here. Can't get enough of the experience. Because that's what it is when coming here. An experience.

Since I was with folks who grew up in the adjacent neighborhood we all appreciated the house being repurposed with thought and they have done a nice job turning into a quaint bar with a large patio area. Decor/vibe - 5* The overall vibe of this place is great. We visited on a weekend and there was a live jazz band, who were quite good though it is definitely loud inside during that time. If you have an Apple Watch it will complain to you about the dB registering over 85 for sustained periods of time. In this instance it was about 90-100 the entire time we were there. Throughout the inside there are tabletops with seating and standing, the bar is long without overcrowding the seating which is a nice touch for those sitting at the bar vs those simply trying to order a drink at the bar. There is plenty of area to stand or sit out on the patio as well and one can still hear the live band which makes for a great ambiance. I'd recommend the patio area as the vibe out there is great. There is a bar service area outside connected to the interior bar area though it was not actively setup when we visited. Well thought and makes service streamlined without running between patrons. Food & Drink - 4* The drinks we had were good though nothing on the menu is super "craft" cocktail if that's what you're after. The wine and beer selection is decent as well. Service - 5* The bartenders are very attentive and did a great job balancing the number of people without service times being too long. Pricing - 4* Subjective but IMO nothing is over the top and the service was quick. Overall - 4.5* This is a cute and quaint cocktail bar for those who may be in a group or just taking a date after a meal nearby. I'd recommend visiting and we will all certainly be back!

If you're reading any of my El Paso posts, it seems like everything is right down the street from my hotel. But I digress. So I was super excited to go to this amazing little cigar lounge and bar. When you first enter you are greeted with a very warm and inviting interior, big glass case with all of the cigar accoutrement you could want. Go up to the front counter, if you're going to stay and go upstairs to the lounge which has a full bar, you need to drop off a credit card at the front desk and start a tap. You can put cigars and drinks and what not on there. The humidor is really good sized, tons of brands that I had never heard of before... In fact, the only brand that I had heard of that They carried was Fonseca, which is a damn good cigar in its own right, but I wanted to try something different. After going through the selection, I finally found one that looked good based on the owner's recommendation. One cool thing about this place is the owner is not afraid to sit and talk with you about cigars. We probably had a good 25-minute conversation about different brands and how the market has changed over the years. My friends finally arrived and so we headed upstairs to the lounge. It's a really nice and comfortable leather chair vibe with a full bar, so we grabbed a bourbon, and sat down to enjoy our smokes. We ended up being there for over 3 hours, as it was just such a cool laid-back place to hang out. Lot of people came and went while we were there and the staff was very kind and courteous to them. It definitely made for a fun and enjoying environment Bottom line? If you are looking for a good cigar lounge that also incorporates a full bar you could do no better than to check out this place when you are in El Paso!

In the beginning we did stick around for the drag shows but then started leaving because its almost the same performers on Fridays and Sundays which left us scratching our heads. We might give the drag shows a second chance once we start seeing performers we still have not seen perform there. But there is also something else we don't like, the guy who hosts the show like to sometimes make fun of some performers and some people in the audience, this is not funny, it's bullying and not professional for someone with a microphone to be shaming people for a cheap laugh.
