    Great service, super clean and nice vibes with good music. Hookah was great and their menu had so many options.

    This place in Los Angeles is really good, especially for hookah. The hookah was smooth and enjoyable to smoke. I had a great time with a couple of my friends during my vacation to LA. One of my buddies suggested this place, so we tried it, and it turned out to be a great experience!!

    This was a fantastic experience! The ambience was beautiful, although you would not expect it from the parking lot. The interior room has a lot of great blue light, the patio house has adorable porch lights! I felt safe here, I wasn't being harassed with my friends. There was a lot of space in order to have private conversations. The service was wonderful. The owner helped us pick the kind of Shisha that we wanted. Even the hookahs have their own cute little iron so the ash does not get into the Shisha. The price of a hookah is reasonable! Please note that there is a maximum of three people per hookah at 29.99. There are chips and other kinds of dry goods. I wish hummus had been available however, I don't think they have a kitchen. I will certainly be visiting again.

    My friends and I came in during a Friday night. Ambiance is great as we sat inside, but the service was great as they offered to turn on the heater if we wanted to sit outside. They also have non-alcoholic drinks like apple and pineapple juice.

    I've been to a lot of hookah places in LA, but Blue Lounge is awesome. The prices are very competitive and they have a lot of parking space and have huge patio area if you want to sit outside. It's a great place to relax, meet up with friends, or just enjoy your evening.

    Tonight was my first time at Blue Lounge. I had learned that it recently changed ownership and was eager to check out a lounge near me, as there are very few near me in Downtown. When I pulled up to the location, I was pleased to see that there was ample parking available. Upon arriving, the location looked quite small, but as we walked in I was surprised to see how much space there was, especially the back patio! The owner was kind enough to walk us through the location, and show us around, allowed us to choose our pipes and even helped us decide on some new mixes to try out. In under 7 minutes, our hookah was brought out to us with a smile. GG was great about checking on us throughout the session, and my friend and I were both extremely happy with our bowls. We had about an hour and a half session, 2 rounds of 3 coals each on an apple on top wind cover heating device. My hookah was still smoking extremely smoothly by the time I was leaving, it could have probably lasted another 30 minutes. My friend's hookah was cooked at an hour 30, which in my opinion is the time of an average session. As someone who smokes close to 5 hookah bowls a day at home and refuses to try out new lounges, I was really grateful I went to Blue Lounge. I had my own reservations of the lounge prior to tonight because of the negative reviews I had read on here, but I truly believe that this lounge is on its way to becoming a low key hotspot. Whether you're an occasional smoker or an enthusiast, I feel that the service and quality is top tier for everyone alike. I'll definitely be back here again. Thank you for a wonderful first experience!

    I was in town to meet my friends and discovered this amazing hookah lounge. As I pulled up first thing I noticed was ample of parking space. The place is huge and has a back patio which lights up like a stary night. This is one of the cool places I have visited this weekend. They have outstanding spectrum of hookah flavors and the ambiance is superb. The service I got from GG was top-notch, I believe I got my hookah at my table within 5 mins, he gave some amazing mixes and flavor recommendations such an altruistic personality. I would highly recommend this place if you want to have some good time or you plan for a game night. I'd definitely go back to this place and highly recommended for avid smokers. I believe the new management is a game changer for this place. It's like finding a diamond.

    Regal Hookahs!

    It has been 3 years since my last review of this amazing place and it has only become better under the new ownership of GG. I have been a regular ever since the lounge opened and one thing I can say is that service is even more superb than before. They have the best hookahs and customer service in LA. My friends and I hang out here all the time. Great place to smoke, socialize, chill and even celebrate.

    Hi, do you sell liquor or BYOB?

    We don't sell alcohol and no BYOB. Thank you!

    Hi Anthony, so families could come? I was asking because we have someone under 21 in our group, but isn't going to smoke hookah. So I wanted to know if it's okay to have people under 21 enter. Thank you!?

    Everyone has to be 21 and over.

    Do you serve hookah now?

    Yes we do.

(A lot of thought went into the acoustics & speaker system.) This chic establishment serves up European-inspired small plates, and their cocktail program melds inspiration with a respect for classic structure. The sultry pulsating bass lines that ooze through the speakers set the tone for a chilled vibe, and the tropical motifs provide an escape from reality. It's a great spot to relax and catch a game or hang with friends, which I did. I met some of my favorite Yelp peeps here for Sunday Brunch. We received a warm & friendly welcome from Rasheeda (bartender). She was darling, as was our server, Mason. They were both fantastic. We settled into the cozy couches tucked in the corner and ordered several dishes to share: Hummus, Prosciutto Panino, Eggplant Panino, Mediterranean Eggs, Green Shakshuka, & Fries. Drinks consisted of: Nitro Cold Brew, Bloody Mary, Age of Aquarius, & a Lavender Gimlet. The fries were tossed with rosemary salt and came with garlic aioli & ketchup. They were addicting & delicious. My Lavender Gimlet did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed their selections, and we had a great time together. This was the perfect meet up spot. I'm looking forward to coming back. *Street parking (can be tricky.) Metered parking across the street. *Happy Hour 2 pm - 6 pm daily & all-day Monday.

Whether or not the theft itself could have been prevented, the lack of urgency, communication, and concern for customers left a terrible impression. If phone theft is something staff are already aware happens, I would expect much more proactive support when a guest becomes a victim.

It was so milky, creamy, delicious... just like me. After a couple more variety of beers, obviously it was time to feast on a classic, timeless all American gem- the hotdog. We ever so gently asked our beer connoisseur, "Excuse me, what comes in the hotdog?" Our mouths already salivating at the prospect of this delicacy. To which the fine gentleman responded "Mustard, mayo and Ketchup." Please remember this important detail, it's crucial to the story. We were feeling very bold as one does when you are glutes deep in a Hazy IPA and a second Stout so We said "Perfect. All three will do." Our eyes were beaming, our spirits were lifting, our bellies were grumbling with anticipation. After a brief three minutes, there she was. The gleaming glizzy. Doused in an intricate, interwoven condiment presentation. So immaculate, so beautiful. With such a moment it was only appropriate that we share the gleaming glizzy Lady and the Tramp style. Yes, sexy indeed. As we hold up both ends of the glizzy to our mouths, locking eyes we simultaneously take one big bite. And then... The most overpowering sensation dominates our mouths, our noses, our eyes even. In a state of shock, teetering on a state of confusion and then rage we jolted. WHAT IS IN THIS HOTDOG??? Because that was not just any plain yellow American mustard. It was a pulsating fire rampaging through our nasal cavities. It was like the world had stood still and we lost sense of gravity. This is not to be confused with a disbelief of happiness. It was a disbelief of deceit. Once we grabbed a hold of ourselves and a grip of reality we waved down the fine gentleman and said, "Is this horseradish???" To which he retorted, "No, everyone asks that. It's Spicy Dijon" Bewildered we looked at each other and knew we were thinking the same thing. A piece of us died that night. In that bar. Because that was Spicy Dijon mustard coursing through our blood, our veins, forever seared in our memories. We were lied to. Made to believe that this gleaming glizzy was normal. Beautiful and unsuspecting. Not even the coldest winter day on the snowy slopes compares to the journey we took with this hotdog. Anyway service 10/10, vibes and drinks spectacular. Will be coming back!

When we finally got our beer, I told our server, Noah, that I could pour it myself if that would help. Instead of explaining the situation politely, he responded with attitude and said, "You know I can't serve you guys, right?" I apologized, but then he told us, "Nah, you guys have to leave." This was frustrating after waiting so long just to place an order. We were never rude or disrespectful to the staff, so the interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessary. I completely understand being busy, but customer service should still be respectful. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression despite the great welcome we received from Nate.

The vibe is midcentury, neglected, gloomy, and masculine. (I'd bet that, fifty years ago, 7&7s were served here by the puncheon.) It's not the best stocked bar, so one shouldn't try to get to fancy with the mixology. The wine list is rather threadbare considering it's a French restaurant, and they were even tapped out of Kronenbourg 1664 -- the only French beer on offer -- on my visit. Cocktails are not very Gallic, either, mostly featuring vodka, tequila, and mezcal to appeal to local tastes. (While the French aren't the biggest cocktail drinkers, I'd expect to see the French 75, Kir/Kir Royale, Boulevardier, and Sidecar at the very least.) Honestly, 321 Lounge could be attached to any kind of nondescript restaurant, or no restaurant at all. There's nothing particularly French about it. But that also doesn't really really matter. Taix and 321 Lounge has a special authenticity that has nothing to do with France. As far as food goes, the specials for the brief happy hour aren't very exciting (Tempura shrimp? Again, not very French...), and it's best to stick to the restaurant's main menu. Service was direct and no-nonsense, somewhat earthy, but friendly. I was taken care of well. When I entered, there was only one other table occupied; when I left, the place was on its way to being packed. I must say, I really enjoyed the dark, throwback feel of the 321 Lounge, with its wood paneling and brick walls, faux barrels and faux barrel vaults. Places like this are rapidly vanishing in Los Angeles, so I hope 321 Lounge and Taix will stick around for a good long time to come.

    One of our favorite restaurants. Their ambiance is chill and the staff are super friendly and…read morewelcome. Their Taix chicken is a must try. Every time, it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
