Great food, I could probably just go back for the food alone. The decor was really chill and elegant. the staff were friendly and made sure everything was going well for us. Pretty much one of the best hookah lounges I've been to. also their drink menu is awesomeee. they always have a new beer or two everytime i come back and the staff are very informed on all the drinks they serve. as a hookah lounge, they always keep the coals fresh, the concoctions are very different in flavor and if you dont like what your smoking, they change it out for free. read more

My favorite hookah bar around! They have great hookahs for average prices but a wide variety to pick from. The service is always excellent from the host to the man coming around to switch coals. I like that their is a range of different seatings depending on if you want to sit at the bar, a regular table or are with a large group. The place is always clean. The mixed drinks are alright but not my favorite. The hummus plate, buffalo chicken dip, and calamari are all great. read more

My first time here.... Date night with the hubby and it was great! When we told the waitress we had never been there before she was so excited. She took the time to explain the food menu, drink menu, and hookah menu. Let us know what was most popular and least popular. She asked us what we liked for taste wise and recommend the hookah flavor based on that. The food was amazing! The hookah flavor was so good. We had the black peach mist. They were diligent in walking around and changing the coals out on the hookah. The music could be a little better but it wasn't bad. We will definitely be going back. Great chill spot. #greatfind read more

Hubble Hookah has been my hookah place of choice for the past few years because it is the closest one to my house. It is definitely one of the more trendy looking hookah places than a traditional one. But they still serve falafels and hummus along with american food. Hubble offers a good selection of shishas all of which are starbuzz brand (my favorite). From the many times I've been there the hookah has been pretty weak. I really like nice thick smoke but instead I get what looks like steam being emitted by boiling water. Even though they put two coals on it takes a bit of time to get it started and once it gets started it gets too strong because of the two coals. My favorite flavors by far are wild berry, raspberry margarita, and blue mist. I would stay away from the coffee flavors and coconut because they have weird aftertastes. The spinach artichoke dip with pita chips are awesome and so is the Big O dessert. They also serve flowering teas which taste great and are pretty to look at. As for the service, it has been getting better since now they have more waitresses instead of just one that manned all of the tables. I would recommend getting a reservation if you were to go there on a weekend evening because it can get pretty packed. But even if you are just a walk in the manager takes your number so you can roam around the neighborhood until he calls your phone instead of just standing around at the entrance. Even though the hookahs can be weak and the service a bit slow I continue to go here because it is the only good hookah place in the area which makes me a fan. read more

Went there with friends and had a nice big booth. The decor is definitely more modern than a lot of other hookah places I've seen. More restaurant that has hookah in so far as the look of the place. I really like that they have a full bar, since a lot of the hookah places I've been to have not. Ordered a shwarma sandwich as well, it was pretty good. My biggest complaint would be that while they have a ton of hookah flavors, they don't have any of the good blends that I've come to know and love. Other than that, the staff was nice, pretty on top of things. Could have been a little quicker with new coals, but the service was still fine. I'd go back, for sure. read more

Love this place! The decor, the ambiance, the servers, the deserts. I loved it all! It was my first time here a few weeks ago. We didn't make reservations, but it worked out. We ended up going to dinner elsewhere and came back later that night. The staff was very nice and friendly. Since we had already had dinner elsewhere, we decided to order a dessert. It was delicious! I can't wait to come back and taste the food. One funny thing that happened was that, as a staff member was changing the coal on one of our hookahs, we accidentally dropped it on my Bf, lol. Nothing happened, but the guy was so embarrassed and apologetic. No harm done we said. Well, when we ordered another round of a Hookah, the manager informed us that it was on the house and again apologized for the earlier incident. I plan on going back in a few weeks to try the whole experience. read more

Hubble is awesome. Watching Blackhawks hockey at Hubble is always a treat. Where else in this city can you drink Knob Creek, watch the game, get goods eats, and smoke some Starbuzz? read more

This place is so classy! Amazing atmosphere! The tables are spacious giving room for more hookahs than you need and more food than you can eat. They have a bar, a full menu, and a wide assortment of hookah flavors to smoke. Perfect place for date night and is just extremely well done. Loved every bit of it! Brownie Parfait is highly recommended. read more

Hubble gets 4 stars from me because of a few things. GREAT atmosphere, decor, MUSIC, and pretty tasty food and of course great flavored tobacco. Only downfall to this place is the service, which a couple years ago was horribly slow and just bad. It has improved because it looks like they have more help. The host was a nice man who was down to earth and a bit sarcastic but funny. Our waiter was decent except he forgot twice to bring water my friend had asked for, the second time she asked for it his response was "I guess!" and still took forever. I understand he was jokingly saying that, but an apology for the delay when he came back would have been appreciated. Overall I really like this place. Especially with the improved service, but it could be better. read more

Nice place to talk, to get relax very nice place, the staff were friendly and very good customer service

So my first time experience was bad but that was 2 years ago. I gave this place a second chance because the food was very tasty. I'm glad I have gone back. The service has been on point just like the food is. Very comfortable vibe with booths and tables. The diversity of customers in there is refreshing. Music is perfect and goes with the look. Many different kinds of flavors to choose from. I'm so glad this place is in my neighborhood. read more

The food is awesome here! I had the chicken sandwich and my hubby had the beef kabob. Both were amazing! The alcoholic drinks and coffees/teas were really good too! For hookah we had 2 really great flavors - Queen of Sex (think Fruity Pebbles) and Chocolate Mint. Both were SO good!! The staff was amazing. We asked for recommendations and were never lead astray nor made to feel silly for asking. HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

Pretty good hookah, helpful staff, good tables. The waiting staff doesn't come around that often, but they bring the hookah out quick. The drinks are a bit inconsistent with alcohol content. Overall good ambiance and music. read more

Ordered the chai tea latté and the blue mist flavored hookah and was very pleased with the flavor and the ambience of the place very chill and the host and bartenders are very accommodating first time in the Chicago area and it's a very chill place to go and blow off some steam or just hang out and chat. read more

Place says it closes at 12, but they didn't let me in at 11:01. If you don't let people in an hour before you close then maybe you should make your hours till 11. Really pissed me off. read more

Lovely place, the staff is nice but the coal guy is not very friendly he is literally the single reason I won't give a 5 star review, the hookah is great and the food is amazing!! I love the on the ambience of the place! Very clean! I been there many times. And for those that drink they also have a bar! read more

Really good food. Firecracker shrimp are MATHEMATICAL. Really really lovely, chill, clean atmosphere. However, the hookah is so so so so terrible. I think there's like one guy who can do the packing right but everyone else must be terrible because a hookah between two people smoking leisurely lasted a grand total of 15 minutes. They need to hire people who know how to handle their hookah; I've given Hubble chance after chance to see if maybe it was a one time thing but every single time the hookah just does not last. To sum up, Hubble is really good as a cafe and terrible at being a hookah bar. read more

I've been here twice and both times I have enjoyed the hookah and drinks, I haven't tried their food yet. The service is good and the atmosphere is great too. I would definitely go back. read more

Hubble Hookah - Peach flavored hookah - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am not sure if the people that work here can be any nicer. Started going here in high school to smoke a hookah, but 10 years later we regularly dine here for the food. The food is amazing, never disappointed. Drink prices are fantastic. Keep up the good work. read more

I am giving Hubble Hookah two stars not because I think it's a bad place. The place is actually great. It has a nice atmosphere and is very clean. It was my favorite hookah bar. I've been going there for years. The reason why I am giving it two stars is because I had a cousin come visit from Puerto Rico. I wanted to show him my favorite hookah bar. We had even made reservations to ensure that we would get a table. Once we got there the man asked for our I.Ds and once he got to my cousins I.D he rejected him because the I.D was in Spanish. I was appalled because we have gone there many times before with a friend who had shown a Mexico I.D and he was able to enter everytime. I have never had this happen to me before and it makes me want to rethink my decision of making Hubble Hookah my favorite hookah bar. Puerto Rico is a common wealth of the U.S and if a Mexican I.D. can get in multiple times, then I dont understand why a Puerto Rican I.D cannot. Definitely a bad experience. read more

I'm an out of town visitor from Arizona and I wasn't sure what to expect. The place is very nice looking and has a good atmosphere. The brand of sheesh they carry, starbuzz, is one I'm familiar with and it's pretty decent. The coals however are not the greatest. They use quick lights and I personally don't enjoy them. The hookah comes out ready to smoke but does not come out with tongs. The servers don't come around often enough to move the coals but will do so upon request. Overall the smoke was decent once I got the server to rotate the coals for me. Overall it was Okay. read more

Hubble Hookah - The hookah probably about 24in - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The best hookah bar in Chicago. The best part is not the hookah, its the food and drinks. Because of this, it makes it a fun place to hang out with friends. Parking is not hard to find either. read more

02/02/2018 Don't waste your time at this place we were sitting and waiting for 50 minuets and we got only water and the drink after 40 minuets no hookah which it take less than few minuets to get it ready. No food and ppl came after us that been served and we were still waiting there. Just don't waste time and your night at this place. Been here a lot but this time it's the last time ever read more

Classy atmosphere. Good pricing. The hookah was good though the coals weren't checked as often as they could have been. Flavors were explained well by the waitress. Negative star because my friend was overcharged. It's a rookie mistake but still not cool and shouldn't happen. I would visit again. read more

Hubble Hookah - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Definitely one of the nicest hookah bars around. Always clean and well kept. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The food is pretty good, they have a full bar, and don't allow cigarette smoke. I highly recommend. read more

The atmosphere was great. We ordered the hummus. The actual hummus was great but too much tomato to garnish. The coffee was excellent. They have a wide variety of hookah flavors but I wish they had more "natural flavors" or even coffee flavors. The selections all revolved around fruit, desserts, and adult beverages; I wish they had lavender or maybe chai tea. The service was great in the beginning. At one point the server came to us and said that she was leaving and the other server would continue to serve us. Once she left, none of the servers came to check on us until we mentioned it loudly. Even then I had to get up to go to the bar and ask for the bill. Overall, great place. Even though the service lacked towards the end, I feel that it was an oversight and not done intentionally. read more

Been visiting here for a while now, loved it since the first time I went. It has an awesome atmosphere, good food, great hookahs and a considerable drink selection. I've been to a few Hookah bars and not many even come close. The whole staff is great too.. especially Matt K. He remembered what we drink after the second visit! Always doing a great job of taking care of everyone there. read more

I love it here!!! Very piece full place... the staff are really nice..the food n the drinks are really good..love how they have different flavor hookah read more

I am giving them 2 stars instead of 1 because I will admit my party partly contributed to the issue . We get to Hubble Hooka and our food, when one of my party's pita arrives she notice onions and she's allergic .(so this is the part where I agree my party played a factor in the issues) So I say to her, well the menu did say there was onion so they may not take it back but you can see. She calls the waitress over and tells him she didn't realize there were onion on the pita and she's allergic and ask to order something different if that is fine and he simply responds "okay". Now I am surprised that he took it back that easily since it was her own fault. Later the bill comes and to my surprise the pita wrap is on there. Now why am I surprised ? Well you would have thought that the waitress would have had sense enough to say "yes we can take this back and you can order something else but just know we are still going to charge you for the pita since the menu does say onions are on it". If we were aware we would still be charged do you think we would have just sent back an ENTIRE meal to be disposed of and still pay for it? NO we would have kept that pita, someone would have ate it since we are paying for it. Anyways, we ask for a manager. The manager comes out and basically says , well its your own fault the menu says it has onions on it, When we tell her that if we would have known we would be charged we would have just kept the pita to be eaten by someone else at the table, vs throwing it out and she states, "oh well it is not thrown out it is wrapped up in the back" So I said okay well then there is no issue go and get it, we will take it with us since we are paying for it. Now at this point we all know that the pita is not sitting in the back wrapped up. When the waitress handed us our to go boxes and our check he would have said "oh and here is your pita"..The manager leaves and never returns, 15mins later the waitress comes back with a fresh new pita and says "she just made the pita over for you" OMG are you serious !!!! so instead of just refunding us the lousy 8 bucks she decided to go in the back and remake the entire pita over (and http://www.yelp.com/writeareview/biz/zyXB9Lf1lTGj0uLPTyp8wQ?return_url=%2Fbiz%2Fhubble-hookah-chicago%23hrid%3AqEwoWMcg-eVcplceSKbp7A&review_id=qEwoWMcg-eVcplceSKbp7A#yes it was re-made because it was hot and the original had one bite taken out of it) How inefficient is that?? Before you refund a customer 8 bucks you rather just remake the food and give it to them. And no by the way we did not eat it, Im sure she wiped it across the floor before she made it. read more

Hubble Hookah is a great place to hang... But I feel the Owner Ralph need to take a class in Business Etiquette... I had a birthday party there. My guess count was 35 people... The waitress suggested we should have separate checks for the tab... The idea sounded good until the end of the night when I got stuck with a $200 tab that was suppose to be split 35 ways. The waitress didn't properly separate the bill... I was pissed... When I brought my concern to Ralph, he didn't seem to care. He offered me a free Hookah... WHAT??? Your establishment makes a $200 mistake, and all you can offer me in return is a $17 Hookah... Get a Clue Ralph... Over the course of December Me and My guess spent over $1500 at Hubble Hookah.... Hope it was worth it Ralph... read more

My boyfriend and I have never had a bad experience here. The staff is attentive even when the place is packed. Great food and drinks. We highly recommend the Blue Mist Hookah. It's a combination on Mint and Blueberry flavor. We always have a great time here. read more

I bought my own hookah, don't need to go to this unpleasant, expensive place with rude staff.

Great place and hookah was amazing. Staff was friendly and me and my party had a good time!

Mint Apple Hookah and banana foster is AMAZING! Great ambience and chill people, 10/10 would come again

Love love love this place! Haven't been able to visit since the tobacco rule in Chicago changed to 21+ but I know in May (when I make the 21+ mark) it'll be new and improved upon our new arrival! Everyone is so sweet and wonderful here! The dishes are marvelous, energy is chill yet vibrant, such a fantastic place to study, meet friends, and even meet a date. You'll love it here! read more

In my experience, hookah places tend to be at one of two ends of the spectrum; places that are "authentic" and thus are incredibly smoky and somewhat lacking in ambience, and places that are trendy and thus perhaps have ambiance but look at you strange when you order double apple or ask if they have have hummus. The latter generally come with some of the worst service on the planet, often a high-flying high schooler you have to interrupt to get any service (not interrupt them with another customer - interrupt their smoking with their friends). I'm getting off the the point. The point is that Hubble is a nice balance of the two. No non-hookah smoking and a nice ambiance, as well as a diverse selection of good food. I am one of the friends Nicole W. referred to, so my experience was from the same evening and I ditto everything she said. And also I'm leaving those points out of my review. I also concur with others here mentioning the fantastic servicing of the hookah's. I have never had better hookah servicing state-side than at Hubble. If lived in the area this would be our place for hookah for sure. My rating system (for the curious): Five Stars - Fantastic. I'd go often if I could. Four Stars - Really good. It's likely I'll return. Three Stars - Good, but I won't seek it out for a return visit. Two Stars - I won't go again. This could be due to food, price, atmosphere, whatever. One Star - I won't go again and I suggest everyone follow suit. read more

Great food! Highly recommended either for a med craving or any craving! Staff and owners are also great and accommodating. Try it out!

This place is fantastic for first timers. It's very clean and the ambiance is great! I LOVE their firecracker shrimp! Their hookahs are fine, but we did have to ask multiple times for a charcoal change. This place is good for dates ;) read more

I met some friends here on Friday night and was pleasantly surprised by my first Hookah lounge experience. I personally loved the location because it's very close to my house which is a plus! The staff was great and our server was a gem! As busy as it was he always made time to stop and check on us and promptly waited on us. We tried the Strawberry Margarity flavor which was really nice and I was quickly schooled on the proper use and etiquette of the Hookah by a friend which I found fascinating. For an appetizer we had the Calamari with lemon aioli and I ordered a Blackberry Pear cider which went really well with it. I also enjoyed the atmosphere would like to return and try some other flavors. read more
