They have a bunch of different weekly things that go on here such as movie nights and so on. This is not a bar where guys can be dude bros this is definitely where the girls come to gossip and have little snacks and I love everything about that. The only men I saw here were with women and I think that was 3 including mine ABSOLUTELY coming back with friends and ordering a bunch of appetizers and drinks everything here looks as good as it tastes and the drinks are strong! The staff here is super sweet and just lovely

They've been here 2.5 years and from my first experience , they are absolutely crushing it. Dim lighting, beautiful bar design in a smaller space, and 90's-2000's hip hop was the perfect mix for a chill Friday night. Niaget took care of us at the bar (please forgive me if I got the spelling wrong!) and she is clearly a well trained mixologist. Cocktail menu is unique and the ingredients might seem a little far out, but trust the process. The drink pictured below was a bourbon-based (Old Forrester) custom cocktail that Niaget threw together. Hints of pineapple & mint mixed with my favorite brand bourbon made this an honest treat. I will be tossing this cocktail bar onto my favorites list and can't wait to go back.

Thankfully our night ended amazing but someone from upper management needs to address this behavior as it was completely unprovoked unprofessional behavior.

It has an upscale yet relaxed ambience that will remind you of Bridgerton with its royal flair. We went in the evening so the lounge was very dim, which was expected. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and attentive. No complaints there. The menu is filled with a variety of craft cocktails like the flawlessly blended Golden Elixir, wines as well as shareable plates that were beyond enjoyable. Here is everything we tried: GOLDEN ELIXIR - COCKTAIL | Diplomatico Rum, St. Elder Liqueur, Lime Juice, Peach Simple Syrup, Orange Bitters PELTIER - WINE | Cabernet Sauvignon, CA, 2021 SOPHIA'S TRIPLE SLIDERS - Wagyu Beef, Gruyere-Mozzarella Blend, Bacon Jam, and Caramelized Onions TRUFFLE FRIES - Rosemary seasoned, Shaved Parmesan, Truffle Mist & Truffle Aioli CHICKEN + WAFFLES - Whipped Mascarpone, Bacon Jam, Maker's Mark Maple Syrup CRAB CAKES - Jumbo Lump Blue Crab Cakes, Red Tobiko, Chef's Tartar Sauce LAND + SEA - Seared Scallops, Pork Belly, Yuzu-Yum Yum Style Sauce TRIPLE CRÈME BRÛLÉES | DESSERT - Chef's selection SKILLET COOKIE A LA MODE | DESSERT - House-Baked Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie, Vanilla Gelato, Chocolate

If you know your way around Charlotte nightlife, then you know Babylon is the go-to place at 2 am…read morewhen everything closes. I'll explain. Babylon is a hookah lounge and does not serve any alcohol. It is however, open until 4 am. So everyone comes to Babylon when clubs/bars close. For this reason, it gets PACKED after 1 am or so. Dont get me wrong, the venue in itself is pretty large. The hookahs are actually pretty good and there is usually plenty of parking here. The DJ is for the most part always good, playing top 40 hits, Hip Hop, Trap, Dembow, Bachata, Reggae, Reggaeton. People will absolutely be dancing here. Now, things to keep in mind: 1. This is not a classy venue. You are sure to run into drunken folks every weekend. It gets VERY crowded. This place is not for the "bougie" or "fancy" folks. If you're not into rowdiness, this isn't the place for you. 2. NO ALCOHOL is sold here. Just water/cold beverages. 3. Keep an open mind, this place is perfect for the group of friends who isn't ready to call it a night at 2 am. So drink the last of your drinks at whatever bar or club you're at and head to Babylon to dance all the drinks out of your system. Dress code isn't a big deal, whether you're in your sexiest club dress or jeans and a top, what matters is the vibes you bring in here.

Since one of my favorite hookah lounges closed I resorted to coming here. I will first start by…read moresaying the hookah is decent and a decent price. They have great flavors and have more than one option for the head of the hookah. The service is 1 out of 10 for me. They do not check on their customers. the ambiance is very lackluster. Especially with two new men who both wear glasses who are there most of the time now they are very rude and I'm not sure if they are related to the owners and that's why they act like they don't care. either way they are not pleasant people. One thing I also would like to point out is that this spot will never open up when it says online. You will be waiting outside for a VERY long time until they open. If I was running this establishment I would be try my best to turn this around. Having ppl wait outside and leave because it is not open at the time it says on line is completely asinine and embarassing as a business owner. I was going to reccomend this place to a friend who does reviews on lounges and restaurants in charlotte. But that would not be favorable to this establishment.

I have been a regular here for the majority of the time I lived in Charlotte. You should ask why…read morewould someone consistently show up to a venue unless it's among the best. (Hookahs are easily in the top three of in the city) Combining atmosphere, patrons and quality ... Taboo Lounge gets top marks. Don't let the negative reviews fool you as they all refer to a "cover." As a regular attendee, I want to speak on this: It's not a "cover" it's a membership fee enforced by the state. Also, no matter what you call it, it is a ONE TIME payment that will allow you access for a whole year. (If you are out of town the fee is actually half off) Being a member not only gives you access to what I consider the best spot in town but it also affords you a discount to the attached smoke shop. This shop compliments the lounge and honestly, if you purchase anything of note twice in a year the membership pays for itself. Drink pricing, compared to other spots in the city is $$ tier. This isn't your undergrad level lounge and that's a positive if you are older, however, it's worth mentioning that there are weekday specials to soften the blow. All in all if you want great value and ambiance, give this place a shot.
