I will start by saying first and foremost, I went in excited to visit this lounge but I did NOT go upstairs for the Hookah. I went inside, knowing that the hookah lounge itself is upstairs of this little head shop. Why 1 star if I didn't even make it upstairs? For that reason! We got here planning to spend quite some time here, have drinks and relax - but before you can even go upstairs you have to read some rules; not just COVID friendly understanding, but a commitment to spending $60 for two people and essentially $30 a person from there so if you're going in with a group of 4, you're committing to $120 for a tab in order to enter. REALLY?! My friend who was with us had been here in the past, pre-pandemic. He asked what's with these new rules? The gentleman working said it's because tables have to be private instead of shared now due to COVID and it's such a small place they need to ensure the profit.... my friend said right to him, this is inaccurate - every time he's been there he has had a private table with whoever he was with. Everywhere else, you can get a hookah experience for $25-$30 and you do it until it's done with whoever you're with, not per person. So why in the WORLD would you ever pay this! As I said before, we were out and fully prepared to spend money, which is completely fine - but there is no way to justify charging people THAT much! We asked how much a hookah was to purchase and he named a few.... proved our point.. you might as well buy one!! You'd still have money left over to buy some pretty colored lightbulbs for your house and recreate a lounge without dealing with masks and required nonsense.‍

Finding a cool hookah lounge can sometimes be so hard! But I was so happy when I found Kush because it was everything I needed in a hookah lounge. The lounge is upstairs of a smoke shop so it is hidden almost like a speakeasy. Upon entering they had sections of couches that were separated which was great for privacy. The lounge is also fairly small with space for no more than 6 groups at once- I loved that! We ordered the mint and melon hookah which was perfect alongside a bottle of champagne. They do not have any mixed drinks or liquor only beer and wine. The hookah is also reasonably priced at $32. I will definitely be back!

OMG what can I say: love love love this cute little place with many choices. Lots of edibles along with neat cute one of a kind gems. You can purchase a few items not sold any other other places. In the heart of downtown orlando. The staff very friendly and informative. Staff did have masks on for the Corvid Pandemic: Felt safe. Went upstairs and OMG had a blast from the stripper pole to the cute white lounges, great music and dancing many hookah to choose from. Reasonable prices too. I really enjoyed this place. LOVE LOVE LOVE it Definitely a place to enjoy night life and feel safe.

I love Kush! It's an ultra sleek lounge with a great selection of beers, wine, champagne, awesome hookah, and a extremely knowledgable staff. It was a cool place to relax... pay the $10 cover it's totally worth it! I will be back next time I'm in Orlando!

So I've been to this lounge 3 times so far and it's honestly such a cute establishment ! I remember when i first learned of this place I felt like i received access to a secret spot lol. This place isn't huge but it's a perfect for a chill night with friends or a significant other. The hookahs are well priced and there are plenty of interesting flavors to choose from. They unfortunately do not have a full bar bbt do serve beer and wine. There is also an oxygen bar and a Dj play straight jams! My husband And I love going here for a nice chill night . The service is good (the guy with long hair is honestly the best) !

Love this place!! I've been going for years. Best hookahs in Orlando and the vibes are immaculate such a fun place to go on a girls night or even double date. The DJ is awesome and I heard you can rent the room for private events!! Kush Ultra Lounge never fails to disappoint :)

I absolutely love this place! Great ambiance and lighting--will make you feel like you've slipped away to Miami for the night. Orlando needs more trendy spots like this. Nice hookah selection, decent music. A little loud for convo but great place to vibe with friends. Local art serves as decor, they always have awesome pieces hung up. They have an oxygen bar, how cool is that! Entrance is discreet, located a smoke shop. So a bit hard to find your first time but I kinda like the speakeasy feel of it. The space is a bit small but never felt cramped there. Also not a full bar, no spirits. I totally recommend!

LOVE the idea of this place, and as soon as I read Mike and Susan's reviews I knew I was going to check it out ASAP! It's weird because I absolutely hate cigarettes and the idea of smoking, however, I absolutely dig hookah. I am partial to sitting outside while chillin with some hookah but I have to say, this place is straight chill! When I told my boy I wanted to check this place out he was a little skeptical that it existed, so was I actually ;o) So happy it exists. If you hit up Kathmandu, there is a sign outside letting you know Kush is inside. You just head in and tell them you are there for Kush. We arrived on a Tuesday evening around 10ish? You would think it wouldn't be busy, boy was it! At first we were told we would have to wait for a phone call because the place was packed but I talked to the owner, Gary to tell him how excited I was to try this place out and he went up and found a spot for us since there were only 2 of us. It was bumpin' up there for sure. It is a very small lounge that is just so flippin' dope. If you have ever been to Pulse, this place reminds me of a mini white room. Everything was white from the floor to the ceiling to the furniture. The lights and art around the room were the pops of color which was a perfect addition. There are couches, small tables close to the ground and a tall table. I am a fan of the couches and the tall table... the smaller table hurts when you are a tall person =( haha. Katie is the shit! She was our server and it was like we were in her house and she was top hostess! So nice, chill and informative. I was inquiring about cider of course, which they did not have any, but she didn't skip a beat and offered me a GREAT alternative: Lindemans, mmmmmmm!!! So good! We went with the grape hookah and it was perfect. They kept checking up on us too to make sure everything was cool. Even everyone else that was there just chillin' were straight cool. I have to admit that if I had to wait for a call back to check this place out I would have given it 4 stars - because... when I want to chill... I want to chill! So HOPEFULLY it will stay a little under the radar so that when I want to go I will be able to ;o) I guess writing this review isn't helping with keeping it on the DL huh? Oh well, it's too dope not to share. If you are interested in checkin' this place out and need a buddy, hit me up!!

Kush was introduced to me this past weekend when one of my girlfriends came into town from Miami. We were on a waiting list because it was a small place and filled to capacity. We didn't end up getting a call back until the following night. When we walked in through the smoke shop * Kathmandu" to go upstairs, we were immediately amazed at the private white walled entrance with color changing neon lights. We entered into a crisp white room with about seven different seating areas. Lights kept changing colors to make the atmosphere relaxing and enjoyable. The white vinyl couches were comfortable and roomy, and the place was decked out like an upscale Miami South Beach ultra lounge. Kush definitely felt like there wasn't a single inch on the walls that didn't feel like there was something fun or cool to stare at. Shiny, pretty things and art. A large plasma screen TV displayed home videos from India. My friend and I got there near closing and the owner, Gary, ended up having time to converse with us about the details of his hookah lounge. The music was awesome (they were playing dubstep), the sound system was incredible and at a reasonable level. The other patrons were pretty down right cool to talk to. On top of that, the owner who runs the place was really nice and personable. I knew right then and there, that the place felt like it was my second home, replete with all the comforts of being a couch potato without having to clean up after myself and friends. The biggest PLUS of this place was the mini stripper pole that was installed in their VIP room. I was I knew it was a custom to take off your shoes when entering into a completely clean white room, so I practiced my skills I've been learning on the pole. The owner, Gary was also really grateful I respected him. They're well known for their flavored tobacco, my friend and I tried the fruity "Triple XXX" house blend. The place is small, so be prepared to wait at a nearby bar for a text or call back, or try to make reservations if you want to impress someone! I plan on going back again tonight! If I still lived in Orlando, I would be seen spending all my nights here, for they are open every night!

I enjoyed my time here. It's upstairs in a smoke shop and you have to get a code in order to enter. I love the stair entrance walking up to Kush. Kush itself was nice but giving you an intimate feel.

Wow wow and wow again is all I can say. First time visiting the downtown Orlando area with my bestie. The location is hard to find since the name of the Hookah spot is within another business upstairs. Once you get in some its relatively small, the atmosphere is AMAZING & so CHILL! I mean shit I would come back just to visit this spot and the prices were good and amazing staff! I mingled with so many people and if the mood was right I can see nothing but sexual stuff going on here based on the vibe haha . Definitely check out this location but on a day in not there so I can get in quick lol. I have nothing but good things to say about this joint. I only wish this was in my town cause they would know me by name lol . A must try!

Seems like everyone has a different experience, mine was great. Non Smokey, we were checked on several times, and yes the tip is included. Fair prices an multiple flavors, great atmosphere, all types of music, will be returning!

The place is really cool, but it doesn't really matter in the end because the service is terrible. The guy who helped us out with what flavor we wanted had an attitude, barely checked on us, and when we asked if he could split the check a certain way he said "no I'm not doing that". The final thing was that he actually wrote in the tip for us and the total, we didn't even get to do it ourselves (which I think is just absurd considering it's my card). I will not return or recommend to people just because our memory of it was tainted.
