Great lounge! Plush leather furniture, great atmosphere. Good hookah, fast service. Staff was responsive. Will go there again. read more

Was very bad! I spent 200$ and got kicked out and haven't got our money back!! Was new years and our wedding day!!

I use to come here a few years ... I stopped by tonight because Instagram made it seem like it was jumping again.... well let me tell you it's not. Hookah was terrible the taste and the baby clouds. The service was terrible seemed like everyone had an attitude. It was hot as hell in the joint. I can say they are better furniture from the last time and the music was good. But that doesn't make up for everything else. read more

Without a question the best hookah bar I've seen in Arizona. Everything about this place is intense, but comfortably so. The place is well decorated, which nice furniture, lighting, and music. Most of the time, the speakers and televisions are on a station called "Melody Arabia", which is apparently Dubai's infectious answer to MTV. Catchy stuff. The crowd here is great; you'll see everything from college students here to try something different, to foreigners looking for an American take on what they enjoy at home. There is plenty of live entertainment, from your conventional DJ, to belly dancers to Ethiopian sitar players. OK, that last one is pretty weird, but it proves that the Hubbly Bubbly can culture you more than the vapid, dilapidated smoke lounges that imitate it. The product itself is top notch, and can't be matched anywhere else. Sure, you can get Starbuzz at a few places, but will they make your bowl out of a watermelon? How about a pineapple? If you know someone that doesn't smoke hookah, this is your best chance to change their mind. read more

Club feel, kinda goes against the relaxation of the hookah is supposed to give you. Karaoke was annoying. The guy and gal who have led it (in the few times I have been there) love to hear themselves. Service was slow. read more

I came here and the women there are so rude n unwelcoming. I felt so uncomfortable with the comments I got that I left after paying 40 just to get n my friend in. I would never recommend this place just because the energy of the people alone. The nicest lady in there was in the front collecting cash then just down hill from there read more

Comfortable place with great service I came here on a quiet night but Frankie was here to make sure i was hookahed up with all I need. Highly reccomend this place for the warm hospitality and excellent shisha read more

First time here and will definitely be back! Service was quick hookah was perfect! Music, hookah, snacks, drinks comfy seating. What more can I ask for? Strawberry smoothie was delicious! Love this place. read more

Hubbly Bubbly Hookah Bar & Lounge - Karaoke Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I went for the open mic last night and I had a good time. The place was clean and relaxed and I didn't feel like someone that was having a bad time. read more

The ambiance of this hookah bar is pretty relaxing. It is darkly lit, with a couple of sofas strewn around. There are a couple of huge televisions, playing melodic Arabic music. So far, so good. I can't complain about the hookah or the service. The staff is friendly, and they even have a nice collection of hookah flavors and zippos. If you're looking for a nice, secluded place to relax and unwind, I'd suggest the Hubbly Bubbly. read more

This is the first place I have tried hookah.. HB Place is the best, comfy couches. Belly Dancers on certain nights. We went with a group of friends and really enjoyed it. Great for meeting with friends. Music is kind of loud. But overall very very good hookah place. Ask for the MINT flavored hookah as well, you need to try it. It was recommended by the waiter. They know there stuff. read more

I've never been able to get into Hubbly Bubbly. There's always attitude from the employees and if you're not with a large group, you're practically ignored. I don't like that. I'd much rather go to Red Sea or some place I'm respected. Even worse, the entire time you're there, someone is blaring crappy youtube music videos on the TV, advertisements and all, even going so far as to playing two different songs at once. Dueling sound systems are not my thing. read more

As a born and raised Californian, I wanted to explore different states. I moved to Arizona and was convinced by a friend to try hookah. I knew what it was but never cared for flavored tobacco. I thought it would be nasty and taste like cigarettes. So we go on a Friday night. As soon as we walk in they ask for id (they keep one persons id to ensure payment) then they seat us. Once we're sat they provide the flavor menu. Keep in mind this place is pretty damn dark, but they have lasers going on, so you can see. Only catch is... You HAVE to buy a drink (soda, water, etc) The furniture there is very modern and comfortable. They have high tables to sofa chairs. They also have a fog machine running, belly dancers, and music videos playing on a projector with LOUD music. You meet a lot of people there (that's if you're outgoingly loud like me lol) we met a few guys who were having a party later so it was a night to remember. Service there is amazing. I never tried the food there so I wouldn't know much. Pricing is a little on the high side, but well worth it. I'm back in Cali and have yet to find a hookah bar similar to the Hubbly Bubbly. Definitely going back there when I go to Arizona ;) read more

If you know me you know I'm not a smoker... but I did try hookah here once...very nice dark atmospher... great Middle eastern music videos...I thought country music videos had beautiful women.... had some sort of cherry stuff... I guess good ... never had anything else so can't compare... Got really busy wile there.. was with group and did take a wile to get service.. and like another reviewer said .. No one to take my money at the end... read more

I have been here twice. The first time was whatever. It was crowded and apparently karaoke was going on. The second time, it was empty with loud music. I ordered a cream soda (because you have to get a drink) and they didn't have any. I also ordered hummus. When the hummus came out, it tasted so damn weird, then I looked at the container and it was expired. Awkward. This place is also too expensive for what you're getting. I mean, to each it's own. P.S.- if you are coming with a group of friends, be ready to give them your ID or a friends ID so they make sure you guys will pay. read more

Nice spot, ambiance could be better. However the music is great( hip hop). The DJ is rude he refuses to take requests whatsoever. Am they should also get their liquor license. Overall as a hookah bar it offers a great selection of flavors. read more

We use to come here all the time. Music is a bit lame, no ac , and it took forever to get the coal changed... Not as great as it use to be... read more

Not sure how to feel about this place... the service was good and the hookah was great. The place reminds me of a furniture store, but on a Saturday night it was much more lively than other hookah lounges would be. However, one person from our group said he saw a large cockroach and some throw up on his way to the bathroom. A little off putting but if you don't care for cleanliness, the hookah is pretty good. read more

Super chill place!! Feel very welcomed here plus they play Maluma, Jbavin and Bad Bunny! Really cool place to chill with your friends

I dont actually like or partake in hookah but got dragged as a saftey net along with my friend who was meeting a guy there for the first time. The staff is friendly and made conversation with us and shared horrible first date stories before the guy showed up, They have a good selection of hookah flavors it seemed. And I thought the music was kind of annoying at first but it wasnt actually too bad. They place is decorated really well and the crowd was very mixed. read more

Actually a terrible place. Hookah is terrible. Last maybe 30 min to an hour. Poor placement for the dance floor. Bathrooms are nasty too. Plus, everyone who comes here reminds of all the people who just go to CASA and stand around and stare instead of dance. You go to a hookah lounge to converse and socialize. Here, they just sit and stare. 18 year olds everywhere too. Definitely not a "hookah" vibe. read more

Over priced and the worst hookah I have ever had. I have been smoking hookah for 15 years and the flavor was wrong and didnt taste right. Not attentive of charcoal waited a long time for a change of coal. I would not fo there if your an avid hookah smoker. Dont waste your time or money. And it's not right for them to hold on to my ID I dont know who they are and dont trust them. read more

If i could give it a negative 0 i would. Poor service and short staffed. Only cater to ppl they know and just overall unprofessional as a business. There are too many other hookah places so i would recommend going elsewhere. All though the Dj was good! That's pretty much the only thing that was good. The hookah burned in 3 seconds felt like and the workers might as well just party and not work because that's what it seemed like they wanted to do. You can literally see them taking shots in the back instead of working. The attitude that came from the staff was disgusting instead of them trying to understand that their service was not up to pat. read more

This place was disgusting. There were cockroaches in the toilets and even dead cockroaches in a bowl of water that was left at our table. The only redeeming factor is one server there was really sweet and helpful. read more

I went for a friend birthday party and the hookah staff (the ones the bring it out and check on you) were super friendly and professional. Later that night they had some dancer I think she was a belly dancer she was covered in tattoos and she was just so rude she stepped on my feet and told me I was in HER way like excuse me?! Then after she asked my friend is he wanted to dance with her and when he stood up she started laughing and twirled off away from us I then heard after her routine that my friend was short and way to ugly to even try to dance with. I see this as very unprofessional and needs to be addressed immediately! Other than that it was alight I guess. read more

-5 stars.... Came in on a Monday July 23... !!!new sever!!!.. music wasn't playing for the first 10 minutes we walked in, made it an awkward wait for the hookah.. gave me a hookah with hot water which gave me and my friends a head ache.. she didn't check on the coals.. or how we were doing the entire night.. she was sitting with a group of her friends the entire time.. so probably why she didn't check on anyone. We had to blow out our own shisha when it started to burn out... had to go over to to her and her group of friends to ask for new coals... read more

Exellent Hookah Lounge. The guy give us the VIP room, bunch refills of hookah and they were really nice to us, this place is really Clean . i just feel special for the treatment. Best hookah Lounge in Tempe, Az read more

See all

First off, the customer service here is absolutely terrible. Worst. They argued with us and didn't even care if we might be returning customers. The bill was outrageous, they brought a hookah 30 minutes late and then they brought out a fruit bowl which we didn't know was and they charged us for it even though we didn't order it! They said its on your table, you ordered it. The customer service is at a loss or words, take your money elsewhere. I wanted to try a new hookah experience, but don't think this place is worth it at all. By the way the bill came out to 115 for 7 people at first, mischarged us for a whole load of crap we didn't order. We finally got our real bill and it was still $68. They also don't tell you that there is a $5 karaoke fee..... You have been warned. Please do yourself a favor and stay away,... Stick to King Tut! They Have the best service an value out there. read more

While this place may have a pretty cool atmosphere compared to other hookah bars, the people who run this place are arrogant jerks, and the service is terrible. I have been on two separate occasions. The last time I went in, I came in with a large group (about 15 people). We acknowledge that we hadn't made a reservation for a large party (it was a last-minute idea), and we didn't mind being split up and sitting in smaller groups. However, we did ask to add a chair to one of the tables we were placed at, and were told that no, they couldn't do that for us and refused to explain further. That irritated me a little, but soon I was singing karaoke with friends and enjoying myself (I don't smoke hookah, so that was my main reason for coming, but the rest of my friends did smoke). Later in the evening, when the place had mostly cleared out, we asked if we could now combine our groups since it was not busy. Even though I asked the manager/owner directly, he refused to speak to me, and instead would only address my boyfriend. It was very disrespectful to me. Again, he said that we could not change the seating arrangement at all, and would not explain further. Finally, when it was time to leave, I went up to the counter to pay, and the manager/owner guy saw me in line and actually told the customer in front of me what a pain I was! It was extremely rude! I have never experienced anything like that from a business in my life! Right before it was my turn to pay, a couple walked in and went right up to the manager/owner, saying they had been in the night before, and their credit card had been charged more than $100, even thought they only bought one drink each. Very sketchy!! I had a horrible experience here. The only reason I give it two stars is because when the staff leaves you alone, you can have a good time with the karaoke/atmosphere. However, if you need to ask for any accommodations - the staff will NOT oblige, and will most likely harass you! read more

Boring AF the first time I came just as boring the second. Their speakers sound like they're blown so just sounds like crappy music and their hookah game was bad too, I have better stuff at home. Save your money if your thinking about coming here not very good at all. read more

I went here last night with my husband and our friend who was in town from San Francisco. We are relatively new to Phoenix, and were looking for a good hookah place. Instead of just looking on Yelp!, which I should have done, I saw an ad in the New Times for this place. It had all of the potential to be a decent spot - there are comfy couches, mellow black lighting, and Middle Eastern music videos on big screens. However, we will not ever be going back because of the terrible service we received. We felt like we were intruding and unwelcome. We were the only ones in the place at about 6p, and when we asked if we could pull up a chair next to a couch, we were told it would be a problem because it would be 'getting busy' (no one else came the entire time we were there). We also were told the kitchen wasn't ready, but when we were finally able to order hummus (for $8.99), it was a tub of store-bought pita chips and hummus (with no plates). When we were ready to pay up, he was nowhere to be found. It looks like there are plenty of other places in town so that we'll never have to give these guys business again. read more

Absolutely the most amazing hookah lounge I've ever been to. Comfortable, casual, friendly and the perfect atmosphere. There are DJ's, belly dancers and it's the best time ever!!! Try it and see for yourself!!! read more

I really want to like this place, but I've gone about 8 or so times and finally decided not to return. As others have stated, the ambiance is very elegant, more so than your average hookah bar. There are nice couches thoughtfully arranged, dark lighting with some blacklights, and nice TVs playing Arabic music videos. At the front there is a small tobacco shop where you can purchase shisha, hookahs, zippos, and cigarettes. On occasion I would end up there on nights when they had bellydancers and other forms of live entertainment. I started going when it first opened, and it was a very pleasant place because the owner was running it on a daily basis. Now, however, the place is run by obnoxious ASU students with terrible attitudes. The last time I went the place was very quiet, maybe two to four other patrons in there when my party (three of us) showed up. We were seated at a portion along the wall on a three seater couch, all facing outward from the wall. The location wasn't great but utilizes space well. However, because the place was 90% empty and all three of us were larger guys (all over 6', one of the guys is 6'6'') we asked if we could sit at one of the numerous other seats that would be much more comfortable for guys our size. Like nicole n., we were refused on the basis that it was "going to get busy very soon". Well we were there for about 2 hours and it never got busy, at the end I left more than a little annoyed and told myself I'd drive the extra few miles to Urban Cafe the next time. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I didn't mind that there was no one waiting at the cash register to take our money. Yes you have to wait a minute, but to their credit, the employees are usually milling around through the place rather than camping out near the register. The one big upside to this place is that they sell all the brands of shisha they carry, and even some that they don't, and because it is a lounge as well, they are open late. My recommendation is to use Hubbly Bubbly as a late night hookah supply run location if you are given to smoking at home. Otherwise, go to Urban Cafe. read more

HORRIBLE!!! The servers were beyond RUDE. My friend and I arrive at Hubbly Bubbly at 10pm on a Monday night to meer our friends that were already there. As we sat down the server took my friend and I's order. They told us we had to buy a drink no matter what. I asked for a can of coke(2.50) and my friend ordered a snapple(3.50). Then she asked if he could put in a order for 1 hose hookah/watermelon flavor (12.99). The man returns with our beverages and gives us a 2 hose hookah with a fruit bowl top(22.99). We confronted the gentleman and told him that he gave us the wrong order. He told us that is was our problem and we just had to deal with it. (No I am not joking). As the night progressed, My friend and I did a few songs for karaokee, in which we were told it was free. By the time my friend and I got up to leave, we went to pay for our ticket. He told us the total was "52.50". I asked to see the ticked and what he showed me was a hand written ticket that he made up. He charged us for the 22 dollar hookah, 4 sodas, 1 monster, 2 Red Bulls, 4 waters, and 3 dollar karaoke fee. I refused to pay that, since that is not what I ordered. He YELLED at me saying that I had to pay it no matter what, and that it was not his fault. He said that I needed to talk to the people at my table to figure out who owes what. I gave him a 20 dollar bill and told him that I only wanted to pay 10 dollars twords the hookah and pay for my soda. He took the whole 20 and refused to give me my change. So he basically stole my money. My friend was forced to pay the rest, or else he wouldnt give back her drivers license. PLEASE BEWARE!!! THEY WILL CON YOU!!! read more

haha this place is a joke now! i use to go here back in the day when it was "cool" and now when i returned the only thing that has changed was the higher than usual prices and gross food. I also think its dumb how everyone MUST pay 4 dollars for a cheap water bottle even when you don't order a hookah! why not just be honest and call it a cover charge to get into the place that you are already paying 30 dollars to smoke! They also don't do a very good job at ID people. So have fun hanging with 15 years old children and enjoying your night while listening to LOUD music where you can't even hear yourself think read more

This was by far one of the worst experiences at a Hookah Lounge. Our hookah never worked bt no one ever stopped by to check on us. So we sat most of the time trying to make it work, but no such luck. Instead all the employees danced around us helping everyone else. I will never come back here again. read more

One of my friends and I favorite places for hookah, I would have to say we are regulars. It's very chill and relaxing. Eghh the DJ's can be better, and they just now recently started putting Hip hop music videos on the Tv screens instead of the arab videos that did not go with the music at all. The VIP room is okay, not much of a VIP other than a tiny room that is HOT and won't get as much service as you would in the main room. I tried the hummus once, not pleased. I always get a bottle water or flavored water, delicious! And great flavors and Fruit bowls to choose from. It's a great place for a group of friends, if you're going on a date...I wouldn't prefer it. read more

My friends and I were treated soo badly here. We got kicked out because they said they were getting ready to close, and then the two workers there let people come in and sit and smoke where WE WERE SITTING. I felt like we were treated like animals, and actually, the animals(birds and rabbit) they had there were treated better than we were. I called the manager, and she said she would make it up to ME but not my friends. As a manager, you make it up to the whole party that was treated poorly, not just one person. I was very upset at the experience I had here, and never have I been so disrespected at an establishment. read more

I used to be there every weekend since I turned 18. My sister recently introduced me to a cheaper better place. The one issue I've had here was getting coals.....I would sit with ash on my bowl for 20 to 30 mins without anyone even looking to see how my hookah was doing. It's super expensive considering I pay 10 bucks less at my new place for better longer lasting hookah. I loved this lounge. But it started getting sloppy. Made friends with some employees but they ended up leaving and told me they were forced to quit. DJ's were always awesome. Great crowd but I go to smoke.....which it what I pay for....so not worth money. read more
