What an amazing hidden gem across from Fairlyland! I popped in here with a friend on a Sunday. The man nehind the counter was friendly and helpful. We both ordered lattes. I had the homemade baklava, and he had the lemon bar. Both were tasty and fresh. I noticed they had a nice selection of desserts that had a middle eastern flair. All looked super yummy. The coffee was nice and strong. I remember when this place was only a corner store. The outdoor covered lounge is beautiful, with its unique decor. It has an added benefit of being naturally cooler than outside. The owner said they offer hookah and host sports parties and other events. I will definitely return! read more

Beware. They charge you even if you don't smoke. We waited about 25 min to be acknowledged by the people working. We were about to bounce when they finally came. The must was aight until the end. Then it got better. Then it took an additional 15 min to just pay only for them to tell us they were charging us for everyone, even the person who did not smoke. There are other places in Oakland that don't charge you for non smokers with better customer service. Go there. The restaurant downstairs was bomb though. read more

Oasis lounge is a good spot for hookah and music. I've been coming for a few years sporadically and it serves its purpose. It's like, I want to go out but I don't really want to go out so I come here. It tends to be pretty busy Thursday- Saturday evening. Space is limited but there is seating available outside. Also, I wouldn't wear heels here. The steps leading up to it are much and going down them is steep. read more

Great vibes and views of the Lake Merritt area. The hookah is great and the tea is soooo good! 10/10 recommend! Service was friendly and attentive. Whether you are a regular or first timer, Aman is very welcoming and the vibes are great, will be back read more

This hookah lounge is terrible. First off you can barely sit down without the rude bald dude running down your neck asking for $20 payment whether you want to smoke hookah or not. You have to pay regardless. This lounge is also dirty AF. Bathrooms don't flush & the toilets are always full of urine. There's NEVER toilet paper in the restrooms which is concerning. I've also seen roaches in this dirty lounge on different occasions. Never coming back for good. read more

Always come here after an event or out with my girls. Shamsu is always so nice to us!!! I just wish he would give me the info on the tea they have here. Me and my girls love the tea with out hookah! read more

This place was so much fun. There was a great mix of pretty people, super friendly service, and delicious sweet smells. It was wonderful to sit outside and enjoy the chill vibe. I would definitely return. read more

Oasis Lounge - Individually sealed mouth pieces - Hookah Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

Nice hookah lounge in downtown Oakland. Parking can be challenging, so I usually take an Uber while in town. The outdoor patio seating has heater lamps. Good music. Excellent service. I like ordering the Obama shisha. Nice spot to chill and relax after a tough day (like the one I had today). read more

Oasis Lounge - Flavor: Obama. - Hookah Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

HOOKAH: Ordered the Obama guava and mint! Cool and chill hookah lounge! Local and great central location. We had a great time they have lots of interesting flavors and we will be back for sure ! read more

Hard no from me. Their set up threw me off from the get-go, but we were seated right away, and thought sweet! Not sweet, sat for a full half hour and no one took our order. I thought maybe, this was the kind of space you walk up and order for yourself? Decided to get up and ask the staff members for our order, he asked where I was seated I let him know outside the table where he had seated us. He apologized let me know he'd take it right out. It was two sodas, and their mix of Hookah. It never came. Waited another half hour watched other parties get their orders that arrived after us before finally leaving. Can't tell what's worst. I think I prefer bad service over no service at all. Parking was bad I know that is not their problem, but I wouldn't have waisted my time trying. Save your coins! read more

The hookah is best in town! We love Shemsu and the staff! They all work hard to make your experience memorable 10/10 read more

Oasis Lounge - a lit candle in a glass bowl - Hookah Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

The main host advises they open at 6p, despite google stating 5p and yelp indicating 3:15p so be warned. They answered the phone at 5:30 (not at 5 tho) and said they would open up for us. I come here often. The space isn't particularly appealing but the hookah offerings and tea are pleasant. I've been here on busy nights and slow nights, and the service is always the same; consistently slow with unnecessary wait times. There is a significantly better hookah spot in Concord that offers an ice pick (dope asf!) but if you're pressed to be in Oakland specifically this spot is near the lake. read more

Oasis Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

Good spot in Oakland to chill and have a good time. Check it out if you like hookah and in Oakland.

The Oasis Hookah Lounge is exactly why the word potential is dangerous, it just means, it could be great if several tweaks are made. The name and location, check. An Outdoor patio lit with string lighting, check. But that is where the intrigue ends. With the aforementioned attributes, I thought I was going for a nice post dinner/ cocktail outing to treat a friend to hookah and be whisked away to a temporary "oasis". That was certainly not the case. It was more like going to your cousins BBQ in the deep east, where the only bathroom doesn't work and they forgot to tell you to bring your food, drink and chair, but they got the Newport's. If you go to this spot, make sure you go when night has fallen, the less you see the better. Sit outside and enjoy the view. No alcohol is served, but you can bring in your own food and wine (I think). You can also expect a family vibe, not with you, but the owners have definitely created this spot just for their local community members/ family. read more

Expensive Workers are too busy and smoking with friends Good flavors but too rough too quickly Good music Hard to find place Ehh read more

Oasis Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

After a long day in the Bay, my friend and I decided to grab some hookah before calling it a night. We were a party of 3 and arrived around 9:15pm. My first impression was how unorganized the set up is. The inside was so stuffy and loud because of the music, so we decided to sit outside. There were tables everywhere and it was also pretty crowded. We moved some tables and chairs around and finally got situated. We sat there for a good 10-15 minutes before we were even acknowledged by the staff there. We ordered 2 hookahs (~$20 each): Lemon Mint and Double Apple. We also got Hot Tea (~$3). After another 20 minutes or so, we finally got our hookahs. Another 10-15 minutes after that, we got our tea. I also asked for cups of water and it took even more time for us to receive that. It was a bit irritating for us to wait this long for a simple order. The hookah itself was fine. It was a bit harsh at first but actually grew on me a lot. The real winner here is the tea! It was super delicious and the perfect temperature. It had an element of sweetness and was fragrant with all the herbs. It was a good try but the overall experience was just mediocre. Considering there are many other hookah spots throughout Oakland and the Bay, I don't know if I would come back. read more

We wanted to try a new hookah lounge so thought about trying this place, and boy oh boy we were wrong to come by to this place. One the food was not good at all nothing in the menu was appealing and everything just looked disgusting. Two the lounge for smoking was upstairs and the stairs are very weird to walk up on and the railing to hold was filmsy i so definitely be careful when trying to walk up those stairs. Third the chairs and tables were very dirty and it's a small place which was over packed! There was a fight on the street too much noise and just not the right place to be at. The hookah was not good and definitely not worth $40 for a hookah! If you like a more chill vibe low key with good hookah then this place isn't it! Definitely won't be returning to this lounge read more

Great hookah great vibes. I had the melon mint melon it's fire! The atmosphere is great! Everybody is friendly! Trust worthy ownership! Music is awesome. FYI I don't like drake I slap pop smoke French Montana & locals. Amman the employee is a nice guy. So please save them the B.S. when you go! read more

Oasis Lounge - a glass of wine and a hooket on a table - Hookah Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

Local hookah spot, you can byob which is nice. Very laid back, chill vibes, good music.

I always come here to chill and wind down on the weekend. The service is impeccable and the owner (chief coal officer ) is very friendly. It has a good ambiance since it's located in a historic building in Oakland and the patio on the second floor overlooks the park on lake Merritt. Definitely must visit if you are new to Oakland and want to meet interesting people. read more

The hookah is amazing and authentic. The manager is responsive and personable. It does get abit busy after 10pm over the weekend but they always make room. It's a staple for me in Oakland! read more

If your looking for a place to smoke hookah, this is it. Its a cool chill spot nothing fancy just something local. I recommend this place if your interested in just hanging with friends and listening to hip hop music read more

By far the best hookah bar on the west coast. I've been coming here for years, and the hookah is always smooth and delicious, the staff is always kind and attentive, and sitting out on the patio is my favorite place to relax in the Bay. I strongly recommend the "my boo" house mix. And the hot tea is the perfect companion to it. read more

Arrived and was hopeful, there are some serious mixed reviews. I don't smoke anything but was being a good sport. Not impressed and was not impressed by their decor. Go somewhere else. read more

Definitely wanted to like this place, but beware - def 18 yr old crowd. Some kid and their kid friends were seated outside next to us and long story short they were incredibly rude and gave no ***** because his "uncle" was the owner. Seriously, I don't go out and spend $ to be harassed by children. So if you're under 21 it's your jam- otherwise go where adults treat eachother as such read more

Worst experience My second time at this place was horrible, they definitely need to wash the hookah sometimes, the taste was terrible, tasted like dirt, I love hookah, I've smoked in many places but this one, NEVER AGAIN. I thought they had the wrong flavor I had requested and asked to change, but no. was the hookah's own taste. I could not even enjoy, I felt like throwing up. read more

Oh my god!!!! Such a horrible and bad quality place to go!!! Inside is dirty,hookah is super bad,people are extremely rude..Do not even spent $1 to this business.I wish I had a chance to give 0 star!!!! read more

Security was hella rude for no reason. I understand your doing your job but your not working at the airport buddy have a nicer attitude to your customers especially for 20 dollars a hookah(no sharing). Anyways my friends and I always come here but we won't be anymore. Cool place down the street called half time wayyyy better. read more

As everyone else says. Service sucks ass. Slowest people ever. Especially the guy who takes orders, he sucks. Didn't even clean our table off before sitting us. Ashes all over. Took 20 mins to bring me a can of sprite. But... When I hit the button for the check... A lady was at my table mighty fast for me to pay. The irony. Hookah was good tho read more

Good hookah but there could be more effort for the vibe, first how do you not sell drinks in a lounge... second it was so bright in there, please dim the lights... the music was okay but so low... It has so much potential but needs some major adjustments made read more

Love the atmosphere. Beautiful people of color working and patroning. Despite almost getting beat up by an inebriated customer by the restrooms , the staff are super friendly and they play some nice modern mainstream hip hop music. There is table seating which seats roughly 5 folks. So if u have a large party come a lil early if u plan go stay long. For three people you will pay 18. For any additional members it will cost you a good $5. Either way it's a nice vibe and if it's a date u can walk the lake when ur done. read more

Unique environment for hookah! You got the OGs in the house playing cards and everyone around you is chillin. I've been going here last couple of months in the late hours from midnight-2 and it's a really chill place to end the day. Music is good, people are cool, and the cost of hookah for two people is nothing to complain about! They also got those service buttons you see in Korean restaurants but don't count on them to get your customer service expectations met right away. Service is slow and it seems like there's two people working - one in the back and one in the front, be patient! Tip: Ask for tongs and water when you place your order. read more

Great place to hang out with friends during weekdays or weekend. The owner and staff are very responsive and attentive to customers needs. The hooka is very good too. read more

I was in town for a wedding and we stopped by this place for some late night hookah and fun. The music was good, as well as the hookah. Service was prompt, too. I don't remember if they served drinks or not. Also, the bathroom area is in the building next door and I didn't feel very safe going over there alone, but other than that, cool spot. If you're looking for hookah, this is a good place to try. read more
