This place is a really chill vibe underground spot in Northridge. Price - got a watermelon/mint traditional hookah and it was $18. Got it on a thursday midday. They have other snacks and drinks shown in photo. Hours- super convenient that they open at 12pm. The hours posted on their site is accurate which is refreshing. Atmosphere- rap music at a good volume. There's also 3 big TVs and a pool table. Huge open space with huge couches for friends to sit. Service- Anthony was the dude working. Super nice and gave me a free water. He pays attention to the coals and is proactive at changing them out. Overall one of the best hookah lounges you could ask for. No alcohol but they have a custom mix of flavors along with the traditional ones. Alot of outlets to plug your phone in and charge around every couch. Will definitely be visiting again when I'm back in town. 5 stars for this spot. @sirjake.official on insta. Enjoy. read more

Great place, amazing service, amazing hooker, great ambiance, they have enough parking .

I was charged $39.67 for 1 regular hookah and a bottle of water. That's a $10 tip the guy gave himself. It was a chill spot until this happen & I won't be going back. There's 2 or 3 hookah spots within a walking distance. read more

It's a pretty cozy place. If you're claustrophobic, you might have a hard time enjoying this place since it's underground. They have movies and music playing all night. They also have a pool table and board/card games for the fun groups. They have a wide selection of flavors and glass hookahs available too. They also sell snacks and drinks. I've been here once before years ago and never came back. But now they've revamped it and the atmosphere is great! read more

Here on a wednesday night and the music selection is amazing. This ace has definitely changed since I remember coming here 4 years ago. I love the customer service here and we are being taken care of very well. I wish this place sold alcohol but most hookah places don't so its all good. I am trying out the mint that my cousin suggested and it tastes very good since I always stick to Tangerine + Honey Dew. I love lighter tasting hookah. Overall great experience. read more

I'm not from the area and we adventured out to try this spot at like 1am on a Saturday. Great service and the vibe was great. They were getting ready to close and people started to leave and staff came up to us and said we were good if we still wanted to finish smoking. Made us feel welcomed! Will definitely be back! read more

Coto has to be one of the best at his job I have ever seen. He is always smiling and working hard. He treats me like a king every time. Flavors are always on point and the place has a nice relaxing vibe to it. Also this place is great to start or end your night. Early afternoon is a good time to come too! Usually I believe T is working. He makes the best bowls. I think he calls one bowl the legend... I don't know what's in it but damn it's good. I would recommend that for sure. He calls himself a hookah mixologist. I just call him T. Look for him to make you a bowl though and you won't be disappointed. read more

Legit "broke college student" hangout for hookah with the noted accents that it is (a) close by CSUN, much closer than Cloud 9, and (b) in a cellar so you feel hipster and undergroundish that you totes know about this place. Good flavor selection for the hookah. Fair price. Cool place. I recommend it and will be back. read more

it's my favorite spot 2 go 2 plus it's cheap, And also u can play pool n listen 2 some good music n talk 2 nice people

As many of the other reviews stated this is a college hangout and does not serve alcohol. Despite those above stated terms I would still go back because their prices were reasonable and as long as you're with good company, who cares who's around and if you're drunk or not. They earned my 3 stars from the following: They had many flavors to choose from, (which I will be exploring when I go back) but I had the pleasure of tasting the sour apple gummy bear. It was just as good as candy. They had large television screens, games to play, and a pool table. They had a DJ who made sure we were bobbing our heads. Definitely not the most luxurious hookah bar I've been to, but it was a chill spot that I will be returning to. read more

This place is awesome! They really stepped it up!!! John has been so awesome to me and the setup seems to be updating! Finallllyyyyy haha see y'all again soon!!! read more

Came for the first time the day before and really liked the environment as well as the excellent service from the older asian woman who worked the previous night, the 1st. Add in the reasonable price for a group hookah, my friends and I decided this was the new spot! However, after tonight, now we will be hesitant to come in. The man working tonight the 2nd's service was not comparable to the previous night, and after a miscommunication regarding the drink policy which he responded to with such a rude and disrespectful tone/demeanor, he continued to give us satisfactory service. Flavors are good however and as stated before prices are reasonable...hopefully this was a one time experience, and the young man's service improves because this customer was discouraging if the establishment. Next time I'll come is when the older woman from the first time I visited was working read more

This hookah lounge great, they are open super late and have a low key spot downstairs. The hookah is super affordable and typically cost less than $25, which is great compared to paying 40 dollars for a hookah at a restaurant. The employees are nice as well, only thing is they only take card and not cash. read more

I was in the area today and dropped in and I'm glad I did. The service was excellent. The staff was welcoming and friendly and the hookah was on point! Loved the vibe in there. It felt like I was hanging out at home. I will definitely be back. read more

My friends and I got here around 1am they seated us quick, but their seating options are uncomfortable unless of course you get the sofa but it's always taken, the restrooms are dirty and the music is alright. Their hookah is okay not too bad only good thing about this place is that they let you bring outside food in read more

A little pricey for hookah in a run down lounge but the staff are attentive and friendly. They are innovative with the space and snacks.

chill place to hang out with friends !! 100% recommend it to everyone in the LA area !! read more

No alcohol served here, just soda, water and hookah. This place is underground, yes, you walk down a bunch of stairs that lead to the hookah cave with lounge-like setup; couches & coffee tables scattered about, the walls lined with flat screens. This kinda of set up is perfect in the summer for Northridge because it gets hot and toasty. Great place to cool down and relax with friends and smoke on hookah. Theres plenty of flavors to choose from, Gummi bear my favorite. Check for happy hour specials! read more

I'd like to start off by saying: people who give this sh*thole a 5 star review have not been to a real hookah bar/lounge... I haven't been here in years, and today's experience reminded me why. So I came here with a friend because we needed somewhere near CSUN to chill... We sat down and ordered a hookah... were told that it's happy hour so the hookah is half off... We smoked the hookah for about 40 minutes... the staff came by ONCE to change the charcoal and blow out the hookah... when we were ready to leave, I asked for the check and they told me I had to go to the counter to pay... w/e... went up... was told that the total for one $10 hookah is $12.62... I inquired why that was the total and I was told that they charge tax (understandable) and that they charge a %15 gratuity... which is NOT understandable... GRATUITY IS EARNED!! I didn't feel like they earned %15... but w/e... was in a hurry so decided not to argue... gave the girl $13.11... and she actually gave me 49 cents back... like... REALLY... not 2 quarters to make everyones' lives simpler?? w/e... I don't care about the penny... it's just a matter of principal... simple rundown: the place looks like crap... the hookah is w/e... (the bowls are way smaller than the usual bowls you get anywhere else) there is absolutely not ambiance... unless u consider a dirty old room good ambiance... and because it's in a damn dungeon, there's NO oxygen... I was nauseous in no time... also they don't have food and their drinks are sold in a can... NOT WORTH WASTING YOUR MONEY! I can't wait for this craphole to get shut down so that something better can open up near CSUN... read more

I wish this place had a better ambiance. I liked that it was under ground and everything. I liked that there were couchces as seating and billiards. What I didn't like was that the music was very low and the TV was on blast as if we came to watch TV. I would've stayed home and smoked a blunt if that was the mood I was in. It being my first time here, I thought it'd be a good idea to bring it to the employee's attention so he'd suggest something in particular. Uhm, FAIL. He just wanted us to make our order and that's it. He was like a zomby watching over us and breathing in our ears. Like, dude relax! We made our order and off he went. Wasn't that great. Our refills would lag for a century and a day. The dude was way off point. Will I come back here again ? Probably not. read more

This place was not bad for hookah place just for one time. that ambience was messy and shabby and about the hookah, it was completely ordinary! One thing that it was bothered me alot about that day I forgot bring my Id with myself so they hold my debit card till I went out this place, I think It's a kind of disgusting act that I have been faced ever!!!!!!!! read more

I'm not HUGE into hookah, but my best friend really is. When I moved to Northridge and saw this place within walking distance I had to check it out for him. I instantly dug it. I like the underground feeling. I like the couches. The addition of the artwork is cool. The TVs are big and great. I love going in there for movie nights on Tuesdays. Nice relaxing way to smoke hookah and enjoy a movie. Their selections are very wide. I've seen Due Date, Tron and The King's Speech while in here just to demonstrate some of the variety they pick out. The flavors there are pretty legit. I usually ask for recommendations from the staff in places like that or have my friend order when he's with me. Being a hookah master, he's been to every different kind of place like this in existence, and even he admits the place has a total charm to it. I think he also likes that even though he lives 2.5 hours away and has been there only a handful of times the staff always remembers him. That's another reason this place rocks for me. The staff pays attention to their clientele. Sure there's no liquor allowed inside. But that doesn't mean you can't show up drunk. The people in there tend to be on the younger side, but it is an 18+ establishment, so what can you do? I prefer the nights when it's quieter over the nights when the music is so loud you can't think. Probably why I like movie night so much. The 10 o'clock movie is usually pretty unwatchable due to the large crowds and all the talking. The 12 o'clock show is always a lot more chill and you can actually watch it which is nice. If you're in the area looking for a chill spot, check it out. read more

Let me start out by saying i used to come to this place on a regular basis with my friend Elias, and i loved it. but after last night - i have a whole new respect for hookah source. upon my first visit, after the door opened i looked at my friend with fearful and uncertain eyes - the stairwell has a very creepy "theres something waiting at the bottom to rape you" kind of feel. but Elias assured me we would be fine, so i proceeded. upon reaching the bottom i was delightfully surprised to find a really chill hookah joint. couches, tables, good music, AWESOME staff... the works. i have been going here for over a year now, and it is still one of my favorite places, not favorite hookah places, one of my favorite places period. remember when i said i had a new respect for this place after last night? well... here goes. i came here with my friend Geoffrey and we got a bowel of Mojito flavored hookah [not a fan of mint usually, but i had a cough and the mint soothes it, Chris recommended Mojito - smart man. it was delicious. moving on, we stayed and smoked for about an hour and a half, talking, enjoying the atmosphere. i have never seen this place so busy, but then again it was Friday night. after we were done smoking, we got up to go pay for tab and go. i felt really light headed, like i was drunk, which was weird because one: i had not had a single drop of alcohol, and two: i was perfectly fine 2 seconds ago. when i reached the counter though, i fainted and threw up. i came to sitting in a chair a few feet away from the counter with Emad looking at me telling me i was going to be alright and the i had stood up too fast. he helped me take a few sips of a Pepsi and had another employee [who's name i do not know] fan my face for a good 15 minutes. the staff took VERY good care of me. they checked on me often and a few of them stayed there to make sure i was alright. they even waived our bill - including the Pepsi Emad handed me =]. Nick told me to stay there as long as i needed, after i had tried to stand up and realized i was still very dizzy. after i was okay enough to make it up hte stairs without passing out, Nick had the guy who had been fanning my face walk us up the stairs and out the door to make sure we got to the car alright, and to make sure i was not driving. I was SO very thankful for the guys that work there last night. I mean i have grown to love them anyway, but i now have a very deep appreciation for them as well. they never once made me feel embarrassed or like i had inconvenienced them in anyway. In conclusion, this place has everything a really awesome hang out needs: great atmosphere, awesome music, fantastic and caring people, etc. I would highly recommend coming here. once you get past the rough outside, this place is fantastic. read more

This place became a regular hangout for me and a couple of friends during the winter and summer breaks from college. Great atmosphere, great service, and of course, great hookah. They have a great combination of flavors that I've never heard of before, and almost got through trying them all, but resorted to old favorites towards the end of my break. Candy apple white peach will always be my favorite when looking for something sweet. When it comes to the hoses (I noticed some people complaining about that before), you can just ask the staff for the different one, and they'll grab one for you no problem. My friend Kyle always wanted the clear hose, and after a while, they remembered his preference. Usually they ask you if you want milk instead of water, instead of just giving it to you. Staff is really attentive and I've NEVER had to ask for new coals (a rarity with hookah spots), and they're really good about getting any ash out of the hookah. They have college nights! Free refills with college IDs!!!! Love stuff like that. (It may have changed since I've been there, but we always went out on Wednesday night just for that. My only complaint is DJ night. The music is WAY too loud and consists of really bad pop and hip hop music. I may just hate it because I don't like those genres, but it would be more tolerable if the volume was turned down so I could hear my friends speak. I end up missing this place when I'm away at college, but I definitely recommend it to anyone. read more

Honestly, I find this place almost creepy. Hidden down in the basement of a strip mall off Reseda, is this dingy little hookah spot. I don't think I would have ever visited it, had it not been for my affiliation with the Greek System @ CSUN -- since plenty of Frat events were held here. The hookah is fine and there is a good selection of flavors. The prices are good too...it's just the ambiance...it's not somewhere I really want to hang out. Now that I'm a grown up, I'll probably never set foot back in here again. But, have fun collegiates. read more

I like coming here with my friends. The atmosphere is good and they are open late. They don't have drinks but allow outside food while you chill. Overall a good spot. Check out happy hour or ask the staff about a free refill if they have it atm read more

Man I've been coming here since high school. What I can tell you is that is place has gotten better from where it started. The customer service here is great. Right when you come in they sit you down they give you a few mins for you to pick what you want and they bring out the hookah quick. They let you bring outside foor just no drinks. You have to pay for a drink inside but that is not a problem. On Tuesday that have movie night which is chill. Everytime i come here with my friends we always have a great time. If your looking for a hookah spot this is your place. Great Hookah, great customer service, and chill spot. What more can you ask for. read more

I like this place been going here on the weekends for about half a year. Here's what id say. Pros *free pool table and very fun *great music depending on the mood and hype usually electro house. *great amount of flavors to choose from *active employees (always changing coals and helping around) *fast service *outside food is allowed to bring Cons *only 4 people per hookah (more than 4 will make u pay 15 dollars for a new) *taxation for your visit and hookah *no outside drinks allowed *you can only use a credit/debit card paying 10 dollars or more (any less amount they won't let, so this sucks a lot when having to pay between 4 people or more. read more

Pretty chill place. Very relaxed atmosphere. Underground which is cool. the Good its cheap, only $15 or $20 bucks which you can split with your friends. You can bring in your own food so save money there too. they have good music playing and flat screen t.v.s. A good mix crowd of people so it helped me blend in. Most sodas and waters are only $1 The bad Well not one of those hookah places where people are partying or clubbing at. They don't serve food so its not one of those places where you can eat by ordering. Overall I liked this place. Alot of CSUN students here. read more

The outside of this place does not hint at all that their is a hookah establishment there. Once you open the door you walk down a flight of stairs. The walls walking down are full of unpatched hole in the walls, real classy. Anyway inside its like many Hookah lounges with the couches (with holes) along the wall and some in the mid of the room. They have a pool table (which the white balls get stuck sometime) and TVs, which play the Laker games. From my experience Hookah lounges are usually dim but this place seemed a bit brighter than other places and my friend and I had to move because the light was glaring down on us. Anyway after the Laker game ended they started to play hip hop music. The Hookah we had was good. Now about the crowd it was mixed and young . More on the crowd of this place, while my friend and I were playing pool a guy literally passed out on the table and hit the floor. Man that guy was out of it. Anyway I've gone to better and my experience did not turn me into a client. read more

This place is average. I've been here before many times but it has been a while since my last visit. I just recently came over the weekend with some friends right after Fright Fest. I forgot this place remains open late til 4am over the weekend. It was 5 of us, including myself. I met with 4 of my friends who had just got there before I did. We wanted to all hang out for a bit more before we called it a night. They chose to smoke hookah, which I wasn't in the mood for, but I still came to hang out. Once I arrived, we were approached by a staff member who made us purchase another hookah since it was 4 people per hookah, which was understandable. I didn't want to smoke hookah but I offered to make a drink purchase so that I wouldn't sit in the group for free. I was declined the request and were told to purchase a hookah for me to remain seated with my group. Long story short, we bought the "Hawaiian punch" flavored hookah which was pretty good at first but after a few minutes, it became real harsh. We were unable to locate our server and left shortly after that. Like I said, this place is average. Only positive thing about this place is that they are opened late over the weekend which comes through if you're looking for a late night spot. read more

Not the greatest hookah spot but close to home & great for late night hang outs. They let you bring food in but dont bring any drinks in ! Since they have their own sodas & stuff they'll either make you throw yours away or they'll put it in their fridge for you. Service is meh depending on who's working there that night , ambience is casual. There's a pool table & plenty of TVs to catch the game on & sometimes there's a DJ ! read more
