We randomly decided to walk here one night and have Hookah. It's a very unsuspecting spot and when…read morewe walked up the owner was outside and the door was locked. He does this for safety as the surrounding area is rambunctious. You must bring your own drink if you are drinking alcohol. He has a set up for a small fee. The spot had a lot of seating upstairs and down. The music that night was hip hop. It was a cool vibe and the owner was nice. He sells good quality Shisha.

Lowkey in the cut. Anytime I come back in town to see my favorite hookah spot! Love yall!read more

This is one of the more lively and vibrant lounges on the 9th street corridor. It's a spacious…read morevenue with 2 floors each having a large bar surrounded by some small tables and larger spaces with couches and larger tables to support VIP and bottle service purchases. They've got all the neon signs and photo lighting you could imagine and most nights there's a DJ spinning mostly early 2000's and current hip-hop and r&b music with some afrobeats mixed in. In most of my experiences they are generally well staffed to handle the larger weekend crowds and from management to the servers the staff is typically very pleasant and timely in regard to service. This is probably one of the few spots that opens until 3-4am, if you're looking for something on a late night. They also host a variety of discounted events on a given day whether it be extended happy hours from 4-10pm, free hookah Monday's, or various specials for football game nights. I definitely recommend giving them a try if you're looking for something in-between lounge and club vibes with good hookah and high energy.

Nomad offers no food just liquor and hookah. They also have cigars for sale but you're allowed to bring your own cigars. I had a Mango mint hookah which was considered to be one of their regular flavor options. The hookah was very flavorful and after about an hour - they changed the coals. The menu says that there's a 2 hour limit on the hookah. However my friend kept ordering drinks and therefore they didn't enforce that rule. You are allowed to bring food in and eat it as long as you're drinking. There are TVs inside and outside and there's music playing as well. The servers are attentive and friendly and I would come back.

They offer a nicely priced happy hour, if I remember correctly. They don't serve food. The drinks are pretty standard. I've never been wowed with my service here, but I've never been disappointed either. Nomad is pretty much a local neighborhood hookah spot that is just good enough. Would I go back? Sure I've been plenty of times! But don't expect fancy or glamour.

And guess what they were NOT even coconara. We were not even there for like 1.5 hours and I ask the lady to get more coals she tells me the head is burned and it will ruin the hookah!!! Wait whatttt?? It WAS NOT burned at allll we were hardly there for that long and how the heck will it ruin the hookah if I ask for more coals. Which by the way were NOT coconara! She gave us crazy attitude after we asked in a very nice way that we want coals. She was extremely unprofessional rude and absolutely condescending and at a hookah bar...really?!!Omgggg what horrible service!! If you want good hookah wirh good service go elsewhere!

We ordered shawarma and fries, and the shawarma didn't arrive until about 40 minutes later. The fries took nearly an hour, which is completely unacceptable for such a simple order. The food was disappointing. The shawarma lacked flavor, the fries weren't worth the wait, and the hookah was just as bad--it smoked poorly, had very little flavor, and was miserable. What made the experience even worse was the customer service. When I politely told the employee, Shady, that the service had been horrible, his response was simply, "Whatever." That level of disrespect and complete lack of concern for customers is unacceptable. I won't be coming back, and I definitely can't recommend this place. Save your time and money and go somewhere that actually values its customers.

The last dj could use work his mixes were off..not a good flow. I don't smoke but the ventilation there didn't carry the surrounding hookah so I was okay in there. We went on a Friday night via eventbrite and it was free. The table along the wall we sat at was free as long as we ordered anything off the menu. Mocktail was good and I had a great time here.
