    Replenishing Hookah Charcoals. Extremely Attentive.
    will r.

    Awesome ownership. Extremely attentive. If you want to just go and reflect with awesome hookah in a low key environment this is the place to do it. Highly recommended.

    Good hookah and nice staff. The hookah has really good flavor and they refill charcoal frequently.

    Hookah Castle has been much better after the new owner took ownership. They make sure your hookah is good and you're always getting the service you need. Charcoals are always replaced when needed. Very good environment to be in with friends, family, or solo. The hookah is really good with their authentic tea.

    The best hookah bar in all of San Jose! The owner is so kind and welcoming! Amazing customer service, great Covid friendly patio and best hookahs! You definitely want to check this place out!

    The atmosphere is feeling the owners know what hookah should be like. Definitely the Arab feeling here and the shisha flavor are diverse. Probably the best hookah lounge around here with great service. Try the Babylon hookah since it's rare to find that kind of hookah.

    Oh man complete overhaul of this place. Under the new management this place became my favorite hookah place. Clean and friendly staff

    It is completely changed under the new management. Clean and friendly staff. Perfect location to chill with friends. Excellent music. The best part is the music is not super loud to bother.

    I was surprisingly underwhelmed :( based off of their 4.5 star review I was expecting much more. I went in on a Sunday at around 6:30 it was dead... When I say dead in talking myself and my boyfriend were the ONLY ones in there. We walked in and after a couple min were sitting in a round booth, directly behind the owner/employee that was working. The booth was clean but not very comfortable. The employee brought us a menu and we decided to get the "kings flavor" we splurged A bit since I used the Yelp voucher (spend $12 and get $15 voucher). The Kings flavor was $20. The flavor started off great but quickly died out and we were left without tongs to turn our coals and an employee too wrapped up in the Warriors game to come over and check on us :/ We finally went and asked him and he came right over. He suggested we blow out the smoke and it will help it be less harsh. *awesome tip by the way* :) The whole time we were there the basketball game was playing on the TV and there was no music..., not the end of the world, but then I used the restroom, probably one of the most disgusting bathrooms I've ever been in. That is disappointing to see in any business. smh take care of your place. When the check came I explained I had a yelp voucher and showed him he said I couldn't use it because we had a mixed flavor of tobacco, he insisted this was the case, but said I can use it next time. I double checked my yelp voucher and no where did it say that as a specification, so I showed him and he agreed to refund me the voucher money and only charge me the difference. Would I come back... Probably not and to be honest I probably wouldn't suggest this place to friends either, there's just better hookah lounges in San Jose I'd rather just go there.

    My buddy Opie and I have been coming here for the past few months. Best lounge around. The owner is super friendly and makes you feel at home. What really sold me was that they serve fumari shisha and coconut coals. The other lounges use wood coals which makes the shisha burn faster. These coals are better for you and the tabacco. This place is a must try!

    Good music! They have dominos and cards if you'd like to play. Try the Paan Flavor in an Orange(real orange fruit), it's the best.

    Long story short, Second Story was one of the best cocktail bar's I've ever been to. We went there…read morelast night for our friend's birthday party, and we were just ordering drinks from the bar. The bartender (manager?), Filippos, recognized we had a lot of people, and proactively got us a comfortable seating area for all of us. Thank you Filippos for being so thoughtful and hospitable! And once we got seated, we had a server named Tikka, who was amazing. She made our whole night smooth and memorable. The service was above and beyond. Also, shout out to Dakota, one of the best bartenders. He was super friendly (even though it was very busy) and wanted to make sure everyone was taken care of. In terms of drinks, I recommend the Vesper and So Fresh So Clean. All their drinks are exceptional. The ambiance was the most impressive part. It's very spacious and you don't feel cramped like other cocktail bars. And they have two bars that are both well-staffed, so no one is annoyed trying to order a drink. Even when it's crowded, you don't have to wait. Thank you, for all the hard work behind the scenes to create best-in-class customer service and cocktails.

    What a wonderful night it was! A huge Thank you to Melissa…read moreand her team who executed the perfect Happily ever after party for my son and daughter in law.
