Wow... where to begin... this was disappointing to say the least. We stood at the door and the…read morehostess came from behind us in the door and then told to sit anywhere we'd like and i'd understand if they were just opening but at this point when we visited they had already been open for hours so not quite sure why she walked in behind us. The actual hookah was mid at best for D.C I was expecting a lot better. Then when it came to the bill we were charged $4 for each bottle (of which we were not even told there was a charge at all for water, and no we did not specifically ask for a sealed bottle all we asked for was water the sever never said tap or bottled, she just automatically brought us sealed) when on the menu they were priced at $3.50 sure it's .50 but when there was five that .50 extra could have almost bought another bottle. Also when she brought the bill she did not even show the itemized bill at first all she showed was the tip screen which upon doing the math from what we ordered vs paid we realized the amount was way higher than what we got and so we asked for the copy of the receipt only to find out there was ALREADY a service charge on there of which was NOT a credit card charge because we paid in cash and when asked what the cash total was she told us $60.31 yet the copy showed the cash price was $57.91 also they charge for charcoal, what am i suppose to do bring my own charcoal? i've never had to pay extra for charcoal they just include it with hookah price, absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention the vibes in this place is like an absolute funeral, all the pictures made this place look so fun and great, but no it was worse than funeral. I felt even more so like i was at a funeral after I realized how badly my wallet was robbed. I will never come back here.

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.

Parkmobile payment until 10p on a Wednesday night. Happy Hour was until 9pm and then there were also specials until closing. $5 shots. I actually had a Blue Margarita, $10 I think. Sipped that the entire time we were there. Oversized games to play (Jenga/Connect 4). TVs along the walls. Music was playing. It turned up real loud around 930pm. You can also order food. Nice little "hole in the wall". Pull our your ID to enter. Hook is available, during HH is was like $23, and after 9pm, just $33 but very reasonably priced I would def. like to come back!

The hookah they brought me was something you'd get for your college dorm. Cheap plastic hose and it tasted NOTHING like mango. I've had much better for less even in the US. I will say though that the service was good. They don't serve food but you can bring it in and there's plenty along the street. After about 10 pm on a Saturday night they play the music LOUD and it's a lot of the trap/thotcore stuff i.e. Megan thee Stallion, Cardi B, Nikki Minaj, City Girls, Drake, DaBaby, that kinda stuff. If you want a cheap-ish place to chill and listen to some hotunes while you watch the game then it's the spot.

The drinks took about 25 minutes to arrive. We were not checked on for another 40 minutes and had to wave down the waitress who was sitting with her back to us while charging/playing on her cell phone. She seemed amused when we complained about the wait. The food had not yet come out and it had been over an hour since we ordered. We were the first people there (about 30 minutes after they opened) so it was empty; therefore no reason for the spotty service. They finally brought out our food 10 minutes after we asked for our checks to leave (the third time we had to flag her down). Pros: drinks, hookah Cons: service time, parking, the smell of vomit on the floors, wait staff I'd come solely for hookah in the future. Do better, please!
