    Double Apple + Mint hookah with tea

    Such a lovely hookah bar with a super cute, cozy vibe. The flower decor and beautiful tea cups made the whole place feel really special and inviting. Our group included an autistic person, and the owner was incredibly kind and thoughtful by lowering the music to make us more comfortable. That level of consideration truly meant a lot to us. The hookah itself was very refreshing, and the flavor was absolutely amazing, smooth and well balanced. We had a great experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

    Just spent some time at Puff as a little friday night chill vibe! Good hookah and a really cute interior! We got Chai Haleeb, I would've loved it to be more spiced and less milky, but still good! Also would have loved to hear more middle eastern music, haha, but not an issue at all!

    My husband & I had been looking for a hookah lounge after moving to San Diego and hadn't gotten any great suggestions. We saw Puff being built in our neighborhood and decided to give it a shot! The vibe is very good. Very calm and chill. The music isn't overwhelmingly loud so you can actually talk and they play a wide array of genres as you enjoy your hookah. We ordered two chais and they were incredibly authentic and delicious! 20/10 recommend you get them when you come in. Everyone was so kind to us as we enjoyed our hookah. We spent close to two hours enjoying our hookah and we never felt them trying to push us out. They gave us fresh embers multiple times and checked on us. If you're looking for a nice vibe with good prices Puff is definitely a place you have to add onto your list!

    Came here on a Friday night for girls night and this place is so cute! The lady helping us was also very sweet. The hookah is smooth also.

    The ambience is phenomenal! I love the music and it's at a good volume! I had a caramel latte and it was really good. The hookah was bomb! The service was great! This is one of my new favorite spots.

    This was our second time enjoying this amazing hookah lounge! The service was, again, so impressive! After saying hello to the owner and enjoying our hookah, I was introduced to another patron who spoke Greek. We were permitted to play Greek songs and it was a fantastic experience for me. I highly recommend Puff Hookah!

We had the tartare starter (incredible), broccoli & scalloped potatoes side & the steak sampler, as well as a cocktail and mocktail. 2/4 steaks did come overcooked (we ordered medium, though they came out closer to well done) but they did a recook & all was well. They also do such a cool birthday dessert (a fun confetti vanilla cake) with your name on it. Our server, Dani, was fantastic. Very nice & attentive. The manager came and checked in to make sure all was well with the recook. Service was truly fantastic. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Food/drinks, service + the ambiance cannot be beat.

I initially ordered the something and picante (can't remember the full name) and found it to be way too sweet. Then switched to a basic Lalo with soda and lime to cleanse my palette. After tried their version of an espresso martini which was quite good but made with nitro brew and kahlua so a bit on the sweeter side. I ended the night with my fave drink though which was a Hugo spritz and it was perfectly balanced. Definitely will be going back, especially for the love band Sundays. Parking is all street parking.

And nothing touches this scene. Great drinks. Even better people. The kind of place where you walk in for "just one" and somehow look up three hours later wondering how you got so comfortable, so fast. Whether it's your first stop of the night or your last, you'll spend the entire time grinning like you're exactly where you're supposed to be and nowhere you're supposed to be. Pro tip: mention the name Lee at the door for free popcorn all night. (Okay, fine. The popcorn's already free. But now you've got an excuse to say Lee's name with confidence.)

I visited with my roommate, my cousin,& his girlfriend. He went to the restroom and us girls went to ours, they're in the same hallway & you have to pass the women's restroom to get to the men's. As I was exiting the girls bathroom he walked directly past me and I trailed behind him, then all of a sudden I hear one of the girl bartenders ask him to leave because she said she saw him exit the women's restroom. She was LOUD & reactive, like she was 100% sure she saw that, she grabbed 2 of the security guards & asked to get him out because she saw him come out of the girls restroom. WHICH WAS A LIE!! It was humiliating & if she would've just ran back the cameras she would see that is absolutely NOT what happened. It was unprofessional, ridiculous,& tasteless. I get you have to be aware in these situations but she was SO WRONG in this particular instance I was appalled. Therefore if the manager or owner would like to run back tapes on January 30th around 12 am, they will see he did not exit the women's bathroom. I really hope there's some type of repercussions for type of accusation.

Parking is $10 after 6pm until 3am. The ambiance is modern and sexy. The front part of the venue is a bar with several tables and love seats spread throughout. There's also a small outdoor area with a few tables and bar stools if you need some fresh air. Behind the bar is the actual night club area with the DJ booth, several VIP tables, and a smaller bar. There isn't a dedicated dance floor so people are just dancing wherever there's space. You can get on the guest list through their website for free bar/club entry before 10pm. After 10pm, there is a cover fee of $20 per person. It was quiet around 930pm when we arrived but it got pretty busy by 1030pm and crowded by 1130pm. Note: the back night club area opens at 11pm. If you come before then, only the front bar area is open. They apparently serve food as well but we didn't try it this time. I felt service was great from the bartenders to security to the servers. The DJ was playing awesome hip hop music which was perfect for the vibe. They even have a professional photographer who takes your photo. If you like it, it's $20 for your picture in a frame. Two things that can make it even better: - wish there was a bigger dance floor for those without tables to enjoy the music and dance - wish there was more than 2 bathroom stalls in the women's restroom. With hundreds of people inside, the line can get pretty long.
