    Yeah baby wet dream flavor hookah
    Kathia V.

    I loved this place, we got there and the bartender immediately came to us, she was super helpful and friendly and checked on us often throughout the night. The hookah variety is great, the flavor menu so much fun, I had an amazing time in the chilled atmosphere that this place offers. I wish the wine selection was a bit better but never less I'm definitively coming back here when we are in Charlotte again,

    Hookah Hotspot is a nice surprise right off Central Ave! I met a few friends here for drinks and a Hookah and the place was really packed! There was a big boxing match that night and even with the crowd the service was great! They had a live DJ and he did an awesome job

    Alison, Armani, Tracy did a wonderful job I love this place. Please ask for them they will show you a great time

    This is prob the best Hookah Lounge in the Queen City I've been to since it's been under new management!

    I haven't been to this place in YEARS, due to several bad experiences that felt very much like…read moreblatant discrimination in the past. Truly. But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.

    Came into Crave about 20 minutes before closing on the end of a first date, we needed a sweet treat…read moreto end the night. Basically everything was cleaned up for the night, but the staff absolutely came through for me. They had already put away most of the desserts and the chocolate dipped strawberries, but when my date went to the bathroom I asked if there was any way they could help me out, and they were incredibly kind about it. They managed to put together a slice of cheesecake for us and honestly made the whole night feel special. You can tell when people genuinely care about hospitality, and the team tonight really did. Super appreciative of the kindness and effort, especially that close to closing time. Y'all helped make a great memory.

    I went because I'm at Hookah Fan and it was close by. Displays really knows their Hookah and they…read morecater to that. The environment was more college like but the best part was the hookah. Overall, I will only go for Hookah if I was in the area it's not really my scene but if you're looking for a really good hookah this place has it.

    If you know your way around Charlotte nightlife, then you know Babylon is the go-to place at 2 am…read morewhen everything closes. I'll explain. Babylon is a hookah lounge and does not serve any alcohol. It is however, open until 4 am. So everyone comes to Babylon when clubs/bars close. For this reason, it gets PACKED after 1 am or so. Dont get me wrong, the venue in itself is pretty large. The hookahs are actually pretty good and there is usually plenty of parking here. The DJ is for the most part always good, playing top 40 hits, Hip Hop, Trap, Dembow, Bachata, Reggae, Reggaeton. People will absolutely be dancing here. Now, things to keep in mind: 1. This is not a classy venue. You are sure to run into drunken folks every weekend. It gets VERY crowded. This place is not for the "bougie" or "fancy" folks. If you're not into rowdiness, this isn't the place for you. 2. NO ALCOHOL is sold here. Just water/cold beverages. 3. Keep an open mind, this place is perfect for the group of friends who isn't ready to call it a night at 2 am. So drink the last of your drinks at whatever bar or club you're at and head to Babylon to dance all the drinks out of your system. Dress code isn't a big deal, whether you're in your sexiest club dress or jeans and a top, what matters is the vibes you bring in here.

    We pop in for bingo (second Tuesday of the month) and always have a great time!…read more Parking can be a bit of a challenge, so I often find myself parking across the street, though I'm usually going at a busier time. The bar is divey, and you can find very cheap drinks, especially if you go for the daily specials. The bartenders are nice - beware that they do keep your card if you keep your tab open - and seem to know the regulars. In addition to monthly bingo, they seem to host drag events, have video games and board games available to play, as well as several TVs. Plus, dogs can go inside and out. The bar does not serve food, though usually there is a vendor there. Looking forward to next month!

    Part neighborhood pub, part dive bar, Hattie's has a reputation as a hipster hang out (I don't mean…read morethat in a bad way but I know some may take it that way). There is no food but they have cheap drinks, old school games, a spacious patio, and they host cool events like bingo night. Their motto is "Mind your P's and Q's" which I found amusing. I have only been in a few times so I can comment on if their patrons typically adhere to this code of conduct! Overall I think it is worth checking out if you've never been and maybe it will grab you and you will want to become a regular. Me personally it's a little out of the way to become a regular haunt located in between Plaza and NoDa but not walking distance from either. Also it's not that the service was ever unfriendly but I just didn't feel like it was my vibe. Still a cool bar though and I can see why other enjoy it.
