Awesome musician on Tuesday nights! This place is pretty good but expensive for Hookah. Everyone was very nice but it wasn't like a traditional hookah place where they sell turkish coffee and treats (That would make it way cooler). It's trying to be upscale but the lighting could give you an epileptic fit as it's always changing color. Cool artwork on the walls. read more

When I go to Downtown O, KUSH Ultra Lounge is my favorite place to chill Very nice selection of beer and wine and the DJ is great too! read more

Got here at 1220 am. Guy downstairs said it was a 40 min wait time. Left my phone number, did not get a phone call. Checked back around 110 am, they said they have no room. Another guy walk down and says there's lots of room???? They take 20 mins to seat us. There were at least 10 open seats. We place our order at 130 am. No hookah until 145, checked with the server, he was not even working on making a hookah. We canceled the order and left. Terrible service, never coming back. read more

Great prices and Dave it was amazing and his job I left my phone there and he made sure I got it back

I am so glad I ran into this place because it was amazing! I was looking for a hookah bar down town and I came across this one spur of the moment. It doesn't look how you would think based on the outside but once I got inside I paid and was given the code to open the door. Once I opened the door and walked upstairs I was speechless, it was not what I expected. All white interior and seats with lights everywhere that change color to the beat. The host was so nice he allowed me to connect my Bluetooth and play music from my phone, it was a vibe. I had a great time, will definitely be visiting more often. read more

Very disappointed. I have gone here previous times and the service was immaculate but tonight was no bueno. I had to send the hookah back twice because it wasn't blowing right. I own a hookah and it blows a lot better than the one I own. After I asked for a refund they refused and said they normally don't provide them. Once I finally checked out I didn't get half of the money I was owed. Just a really bad experience. Think twice before you go people. read more

This is my favorite hookah lounge. The atmosphere is awesome, the employees are super friendly and helpful and the prices are pretty good for the area. I'll definitely be back! Only downside is the hookah selection is a little limited. But they make up for it with sick vibes and awesome staff. Floyd is really awesome! I'll definitely be back because of him. read more

If you are looking for a place with awful service, but nice hookah look no further. Not only do they charge you a $5 cover charge, but 18% gratuity is added for you, even if you planned on giving 10%. We were here for an hour and half and our "waitress" checked on us when we came and and when she brought us our drink. Would have been here longer had we not walked up to ask for our tab, which took an additional 10-15 minutes to arrive. When you see the sign for Kush, keep walking. You can find Hookah just as good and service that far better. read more

Adam was awesome! Great atmosphere, chill spot, and alcohol. It's a clean place with good vibes. I loved it here!

Their hookah is meh, music is average. Had to pay 5 dollars for cover. Overall not recommended

Went to this place because of the reviews.. i was expecting something extraordinary... I'm going to start with the good stuff.. their hookahs are decent, the lighting and the vibe is excellent and so was the music.. it was a miami like hookah lounge so it that aspect was great since i wanted to take my wife to a nice hookah lounge. Now the ugly.. When i said the hookahs are decent.. i meant they are 40 dollar chinese pieces of crap.. The place is extremely tiny.. you probably think that is always at capacity when you show up.. i had to wait like an hour to get in.. which was spend at another bar. By the time we got in half of my group had gone home. Which is good because i would of felt bad for them to pay to get in that place. The reason this place is at capacity all the time is not because is full.. some guy walked in and was told that they were at capacity.. the guy told him he knows the owner and the capacity scheme... i guess they use it to build some kind of excitement... so the guy was allowed in without wait.. there was plenty of room!! The staff sat us down in this tiny table with some kid size chairs.. while they had plenty of couches open.. also the staff took forever to light up the hookah and the place was not even half way full.. Now the hookah.. they only have fantasia and they dont do any special house mix or anything.. the worse thing is that the use QUICK LIGHTS COALS!!.. this is a huge no no in my book... toxic chemicals and crappy taste... i dont understand why dont they use coco naras.. or some kinda coconut coal.. i didnt even ask for a second set of coals.. i was out before the 1st set was done. Anyways, this place is tiny, has tiny furniture, charges cover, has over priced hookah, and over priced drinks, doesn't serve liquor, is over hyped, etc etc.. If you think this is the best hookah lounge you have ever gone to.. you need to go out some more. read more

I don't really understand the vibe of this place. You walk into a retail store from the street and pay the cashier a $10 cover to get into the lounge upstairs. I've been to a lot of hookah places in MD, VA, DC, NY and one a little closer to Sanford and they all don't have a cover, and serve as solely a hookah lounge. The lounge itself is small and awkward and feels cheap. I sensed everyone walking in got the same feeling. At one point, a guy was sitting on the armrest of my sofa facing his friends. I probably won't go back. read more

Look, this place is small, it doesn't have liquor, and I am not a hookah fanatic.. honestly, its ok, but I am still trying to figure out why people swoon over hookah bars. It is just another gimmick. But Kush is not a gimmick, it is a good ole time. This place has character even with all the white walls. I've always liked places that looked like this, and the people that go there are relaxed. Just make sure you go with a few people, there is a little mingling on the right night, but it is not a bar scene, it is a sit-down at a table with your friends style place. I don't know if I would give this place 5 stars in NYC or most other metropolitan cities, but it definitely is my top pick for going out in Orlando. For better or for worse. read more

I absolutely loved this place. The decorations are modern and has the atmospheric feel of being in a club, yet everyone keeps to themselves. The music was fantastic and there were a lot of great mixes ( electronic music was played). They had a decent selection of beer (lagers, ale, pale ales, sweet fruit flavored beer) though it had gone up in price, it was still good. The hookah flavors that were offered were very enticing, and delicious. I would most definitely recommend this hookah lounge. P.S. There is a dress code. Gentlemen; wear collared shirts, no sandals, and no shorts. Ladies; dress up a little but not too much ( this means no sneakers, or flip flops), and jean shorts or shorts in general are a BIG NO. read more

I have been here a few times and enjoyed it. It has a little of a speakeasy vibe, hidden away above the smoke shop. The whole experience is quite fun. Best to go with some friends so you occupy an entire table. My young niece who was visiting from North Carolina, seemed to enjoy it as much or more than we did. read more

Rude waitress and over priced for a small room and charged a conver lol. Really? It's a hookah lounge not a Miami club.

This place was so chill and a great place to vibe! The DJ was great and really felt the crowd out and played music for everyone there! Had a blast will be back tonight! read more

Not very happy with my experience there multiple things ruined it for me. I did d like the fact that I had to pay $10 to get in no matter what plus the size of the establishment was very small and also the only selection of shisha was fantasia. I've been to multiple hookah lounges and mostly all of them have variety as well the price for the hookah it's self was very steep plus for a repack was $15 that's insane. To be completely honest I would not recommend this place to anyone!!!!!! read more

Kush is one of the best ultra lounges in Orlando. People from Ft Walton Beach need to learn what a dress code is before you go out in Orlando. read more

Meh. It is okay for the only one in that area but clearly there are better lounges in Orlando that are more comfortable with better service. Wouldn't be a place I went out of my way to patronize. Nothing special. read more

Went there on a Thursday night while on an overnight stay in Orlando. Really great place with an awesome DJ and great service. White leather couches & chairs, white drapery, and disco ball - not your typical hookah lounge. I recommend the Triple X hookah flavor. Very small place off the beaten path. read more

One of the best hookah lounges I've been to in Florida! Excellent service. Very chill environment, good music.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, KUSH! Great place, great people! Awesome hookah and drinks! Gotta love their downtown location! BEST place to chill!

This is a very fancy hookah lounge compared to the normal run down ones. I like how it is a "secret" lounge that you need a code to enter. The decor was modern and classy with interesting lighting which changed constantly. The DJ was cool and they projected videos with the music. It's odd to have to pay an entrance fee for hookah but I guess you're paying for the ambiance and it weens out the obnoxious drunkies. It was pretty annoying having to walk down to the smoke shop to use the bathroom probably because I was wearing super high heels otherwise not a big deal. The beers were interesting and I was fond of the fruity ones since I'm not huge on beers. The hookah was good we mixed flavors but it seemed like they needed to put more coals, at least more than one. I didn't really like the service too much because SJP lookalike was pretty slow. Other than that, I recommend. read more

This place is my fav chill spot dt. It stands out among the other crappy, dirty, douchy bars that make up dt Orlando. This is a hidden gem.

Last night was my first time experiencing Orlando's night life. I searched through Yelp and ran across this place. I was at first very skeptical as I had no clue where the lounge was located even after walking through the door. The lounge is actually upstairs inside of a smoke shop. You pay an entrance fee downstairs, receive a code for the door and you're in. After a little hesitation, I figured why not and we went for it. Once we entered the upstairs, the entire atmosphere changed! The place is decorated in all white, the mood was very relaxing, the waitress was a sweetheart, the DJ was one of the best I've ever heard, great local artwork on the walls, it was a pleasure meeting the owner who is very down to earth and attentive to his guests. The night was perfect. This will definitely be a spot that I will visit every time I come to Orlando. I thank you for a great experience! read more

Say it with me Kussssshhhhh. Doesn't it just sound so posh and fancy? For the most part it is. It's above a store on the second floor of Katmandu. I'm not big on needing to pay a "cover charge" just to smoke a hookah but for some reason I keep doing it. Orlando locals aren't big on paying covers and I think I have been spoiled. If I am going rack up a pretty large bill and get my friends to enjoy a good night out the last thing I want to do is pay a cover. Who carries cash anyways? Otherwise, I highly recommend this little treasure to anyone wanting a different experience, with great customer service and plenty of yummy hookah options. read more

Maybe I'm just not used to doing hookah in this atmosphere but I doubt I will ever go here again. The place is extremely small, like a studio apartment. The furniture, albeit does go with the chic style of decor, just isn't very practical. The couches feel cramped with just 3 people. Then if u have a group of 4, that person will have to sit uncomfortably on an ottoman. I would advise only coming here as a couple. When my party arrived, the four of us cramped around a tiny side table all sitting on ottomans. We managed to get one of the sofas when another party left. But we still had to wait about 30 minutes or so because there were no more hookahs left. Also, The waiter, which there was only one, didn't clean off the table for at least 30 minutes when we sat down. I had to pay $2 for water.....water! Can't say much about the drinks as I didn't have one, but the beer selection seemed okay. Overall, I can say this place does what it can to try to stay appealing. The decor really is interesting, and the DJ had me shoulder-shrugging and head-nodding all night. But the execution could be way better. The furniture, the service, and the prices. I forgot to add, there's a $10 cover which is ridiculous. Maybe I'm spoiled from college days, where $10 could get u all-you-can-smoke. And u don't have the option to take a look at the place and capacity before paying your money. Ugh. Either way, my 3 stars is for the DJ alone. read more

Awesome.... awesome, awesome. That's pretty much all I need to write. It's a difficult place to find, the entrance is inside of a convenience store. You walk up a creepy stairway and then BOOM, awesome hookah lounge. It's all white sofas and hookahs with a projected screen, has a small VIP section with a pole, the hookahs are great quality (if not a little pricey, but you get what you pay for), and the service is better than most hookah lounges I've been to. Next time I'm in Orlando, I'm definitely going here again. There's a cash-only cover charge for everyone, which I wasn't too fond of since the hookah is pricey, but I would pay it again with no issue. Only premium sheesha is used, and ambiance is nice and relaxing, and it's super sleek. read more

Great place! Come in day or night, and expect to be treated like a celebrity. Ask for Sean, he's the man!

Best service I've ever received! Great music, conversation and overall environment! And what made it even better was our server Matt Harmon thank you for the hospitality! read more

Love the atmosphere at Kush. I agree with other reviewers that this is not your typical bar scene and its best to go with a group/signifiant other. Most groups seem to socialize with themselves in the different seating areas of this intimate space. Saturday nights are always good with smooth downtempo as the choice music (Ramsay!) . The times I have been there it gets busy/full by midnight. No liquor here but many beers and a few wines to choose from. Still don't know what the big deal with hookah is, but why not? Lighting here is sexy on the white South Beach-y furniture and walls. The owner Gary is always very welcoming. read more

Loved this small place... It was well designed...great looking crowd...and great service ..good for pre-parting...will visit again when I'm in town. read more

This place is great! They have so many varieties of flavors and the hookahs are very pretty. The guy who makes the hookahs is talented and well versed in hookah-making. Great service too. Very nice intimate lounge. Only down side is they charge a cover. Otherwise, awesome gem in Orlando! read more

Best hookah lounge in Orlando! Great spot to chill and get away from the crazies DT... The owner Gary is the most hospitable bar/ lounge owner. You can pick up some great worldly merchandise too!! read more

I am dissapointed as we came at 1:30AM and was told they were closing in 30 minutes when the website clamed 3am. The guy who greeted us wasn't the most pleasant but he did have tons of drunks inside the store dropping valuables. I am visiting friends and I just did not feel welcomed. We did go upstairs to take a look but we were still unhappy that they couldn't accomodate us at all. Even there was 3 other guys who wanted to come up and smoke and they basicly turned away good paying customers. I do like the decor and the music was nice. Just wish we had a chance to relax and enjoy. Next time this should be addressed. read more

Wow, another crazy nite out in Orlando. This time Kush.... How cool, upbeat, alive, and just Not the same sloppy Orlando scene. We drank, smoked , and had a blast. Paid the $10, see many complaints, I say get a better job if you can't afford it. Well worth it. Beers are Only $6. Paid more at the Oak. So get up, get dressed, and come enjoy. Sloppy dressers, cheap'os, and bad Karma not accepted. Peace & Love. M read more

Tucked away upstairs of Kathmandu. It's more like a "local only" spot. Been here a few times, good music, chill ambience. We always order a champagne and a hookah then head out for the night. Pricey. read more

Went fairly late on Saturday night. The atmosphere was great, the service was great, the music was just right and the hookah was just right. I will definitely go back.... again and again. read more

Don't come here. Terrible hookah, extremely overpriced, an entry fee on top of paying for the actual hookah, music is way too loud to hold a conversation not to mention its just really bad music, but I suppose that is preference. The hookahs smoke like shit and they use quick light coals that make the shisha taste like chemicals. The Luminescent Hookah Lounge near UCF kills this place in every way. $15 per person and its unlimited hookah from opening to closing. This place is $10 per person to get in and then $25 for the hookah? With just me and my bud it was $45 for an hour of smoking and then get this: the guy downstairs told us we had to tip... Are you kidding me? Fuck that, if we think you deserve a tip we'll tip. Needless to say that alone was enough for me to not tip them. Do not go here if you really want a good hookah smoking experience. read more
