    The best hookah lounge serving up Tangiers, Fumari and Al Falker shisha. Tangiers brand is great…read morebut for seasoned hookah smokers. It's a bit tough to find in the plaza as it's tucked in the back order (look for domino's, Empire is located just to the left of it in the corner). Great service and knowledgeable staff. Weekend nights do get busy. Mondays have a movie night (starts at 9pm). The movie selection is posted on their Instagram on Mondays. Bowls are packed nicely every time. Post 2020, they're using one time use hoses, but be free to bring your own hose, if you have one. They do have a well stocked fridge with variety of soft drinks, including some sugar free options. Ambience is casual with music playing in the background (sometimes edm, sometimes rap/hip hop/mix of those two). Couches are comfortable and there are TVs all over, which will sometimes play the local games (basketball, baseball, football).

    Service was bad because about a week ago we were told that on birthdays we get free hookah. Today…read morewas my birthday and we arrived around 12AM but he says it's the next day so we don't count it and apparently the service doesn't "allow it". So after driving far from where we were at we decided to leave this establishment. If we were informed that it wouldn't be granted despite a lounge being open till 2AM then we would have planned accordingly. No opinions on food but ambiance would've been worth it had things been clearer. Apparently it was listed in the "terms" like as a matter of fact? No customer knows those terms unless you tell them.

    I was in the Pomona area and decided to check this hookah spot out. It's located in a VERY busy…read morepart of Downton Pomona. I came in about midnight so it was still fairly empty, but the owner said it gets more crowded and busy around 1-2am, and closing at 4am. There's a few bars/clubs that are next to this spot so expect a lot of foot traffic and moving cars. Parking is about a block away in parking lot area but you could try your luck in parking in front of this place (don't bother). When you enter this hookah spot they not only ID you but they also pat you down to make sure you're clean. Inside is a pretty cool vibe with some fairly loud rap music playing and a few TV's playing music videos. They have a bunch of different hookah flavors and I got the Blue Ballz. Hookah is about $30 a piece. He made it in about 5 minutes and the hookah was great! The vibes were definitely good and the ambiance was quite enjoyable. If you want a spot to CHILL, this is cool - but don't come here at 1-2 am if you're not trying to be in a crowd and possibly loud people (most people are probably drunk and leaving the bars/clubs at that point) Overall, I'd definitely come back here with my friends!
