The hookah is very light, no flavor. But most importantly the experience: Instead of telling us that they were closing early because it was a slow night they were passive aggressive. They turned off the music and the lights while we were in the place. The only time they approached us was to tell us that they turned off the lights intentionally, we had to ask if that meant the were closed, which they said yes. So, beware of coming around 11PM. If the business thinks they are having a slow night, they will close early and you'll still pay the full price. Tribeca next door is a much experience and they'll treat you with respect. read more

Very hospitable and attentive service! My wife and I stopped by on a Friday night after eating at a restaurant a couple of blocks over. It was about 9 and it was calm and quaint, probably right before the weekend night rush. Hookah was hitting, smooth 90s and early 2000s R&B playlist, and a cold brew. Excellent night cap! read more

Very nice and laid back Hookah Lounge. Great service. If you are looking for alcohol and food, this is probably not the best place to go. The space works, but could use paint and elbo grease in some areas. read more

Sharifa's Hookah Bar And Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

I use to go to Sharifa's for over 10 years . Use to be one of my favorite places to go to . I came back to Augusta to visit family and went one night and they made the hookah for us and I told her that it doesn't have any flavor ( it kind of tasted like whatever they clean it with ) and I ask for a flavor change . I said I didn't mind paying for the flavor change . She said , oh no I wouldn't make you pay if you didn't like it , I want you to like your hookah . I said okay , she brought another one w/ different flavor . Tasted the same like it was old dry shIsha . I expressed that I didn't like the taste and she said to me I am not going to make you another free one ( I never said not once that I wouldn't pay ) she said I'll give you a refund , but you are banned from coming again and that's our policy . I was truly disappointed. read more

Want a place that overcharges you for trash hookah? This is the joint for you. They overcharge for hookah and the flavors?? Wooof. Not worth it. But if you have no where else to go, this is it. $8 bud lights and $2 Kroger waters. read more

The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is because of the price and music. It's very small and somewhat comfy. The customer service is trash! Heaven was on her phone whenever my friends and I walked in and was not as attentive as I expected. Even when paying for our hookah, she was playing on her phone. Truly unacceptable and very bad customer service. We almost left but decided against it because we were already there. I would not recommend this place unless you're looking for a quick hookah run for the low price of $10 per person. read more

If you're looking for a chill place that has amazing hookahs you need to check this place out during the weekdays. The environment has a clean feeling to it and feels like home. A great place to visit in Augusta! I have enjoyed my time here as I also do work here. Besides my employment, this lounge has that "I'm going relax" feeling to it. Weather it's been a long day at work or you just simply want to get out the house, you will find this is the spot! Now on the weekend you could come in and find yourself in a club! Which is always fun! With only beer and wine you know you won't be catching any problems here! Another plus is the natural charcoal used! Hookah with no headache! Check it out! read more

I love sharifas! Sauna (Charcoal girl) is phenomenal! She is attentive and makes great flavors. Could not recommend this place more. Great prices and great atmosphere. -Fisch read more

This is a very chill place. Music is good. Employees are cool. Hookah is good. It's a smooth pull. The only reason this place didn't get 5 stars is they on service beer and wine. Other than that, it's great!!! read more

Sharifa's Hookah Bar And Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Use to go here all the time. But then the teens took over. I think it's still cool for the younger people

Good but not great. The hookahs actually smoked really good. Thick smoke and very smooth. But the service is very lackluster. Had to ask 4 times to get new coals. Never got a repack because we didn't want ask another 4 times for that. Wait staff rarely checks on you. This may have been forgiven if they were busy...but they were not. Drink menu is lackluster with just bottled beer and wine. Wait staff not knowledgeable about products. This place could but successful if they worked out management issues and focused on customer service. Also, they charge a cover...which is insane for a hookah place in Augusta. I'll give them another chance though, the owner seemed like a nice guy. read more

Had the most amazing time here! Me, my best girlfriend and her paraplegic, veteran friend visited this place last night. We are visiting from out of town. This is a family owned and operated business and we met most of the family. They are THE MOST polite, caring, respectful, professional people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Also, the atmosphere is great and everyone was real laid back. I would recommend this place to ANYONE. It was definitely the highlight of our trip and we will definitely come back to visit this place again!! read more

Would rate this place lower if I was allowed too. We spoke with the owner before heading to this establishment and was reassured they would stay open 15 minutes longer for us since we were driving from 30 minutes away. When we arrived there was one young lady on shift who begged to differ since she wanted to close 15 minutes earlier than the time shown because they were "slow throughout the night" and she didn't "feel comfortable staying open until that time of night" as she said. She called the owner to confirm if what we said was true, however, the owner sided with the worker and we were pushed out of the door. There was still 30 minutes left and we planned on spending money despite all of the other nonsense, but we were denied service as she continued to sit with her male companion as she had been doing when we walked in. read more

I could sum this place up in one word DIRTY, but I'll elaborate for your sake. We were a group of three and it took forever to get out set. Oh and there was only one group other than us. Once we got it finally it was terrible. Tightest draw I've ever had and weak flavors. You had to fight for every draw. Staff is extremely inattentive. Do not come here. read more

Tonight just wasn't a good night they was moving too slow with bringing us our hookah and cubes the hookah stick had dried smoke and it was black stuff hitting the back of my throat and then the DJ isn't playing good music that suppose to get everyone to get up off their feet and dance and have fun they need to improve better with their DJ's music and their employees with faster pace to get their cubes and hookah and get it right for the customers just straight unsatisfactory right there read more

A friend and i got there arrowed 6:30 and we were the only persons on the place. We where here for the hookah but it was average at best. The place was dirty and smelly. It might be the best hookah place in town but it's not worth it. The server was attentive but there Alcohol was very poor and there where out of stock in many things. They serve no food. read more

I'm gonna be honest, I really wanted to like this place and I was excited to try it out but after my experience I don't think I'll be giving it another shot. I went here with my friend and both of us felt very similar. The environment wasn't very fun to hang out in, the furniture here looks pretty shabby and is uncomfortable no matter where you sit. The music they played was honestly terrible and at one point they turned it up even louder so it was impossible to hear or talk with whoever your with, like for real the bass was unbelievably cranked. I expected a chill vibe and a cool place to hang and chat but got the feeling that whether or not they were shooting for a club vibe or a chill vibe, it was just poorly executed. The server/bartender had an attitude and wasn't very helpful when I asked what kind of wine they have etc. Overall, everything that we came across while in this establishment was sub par and I'm not keen on coming back at any point. read more

Great place but watch your credit or debit card statements. I would pay cash only and do not open a tap. I believe that because I did not leave them a tip they ran my credit card again but for a higher charge (for hookahs that I did not purchase to compensate for a tip) They also did not give me a receipt which was odd. So make sure you ask for one and keep it until the purchase clears on your card. When I called and asked them for the receipt that I signed first they told me they had a signed receipt but sent me a pic of a receipt that was not signed. All establishments should keep record of signed receipts and you would never let a customer walk out without signing. So they are very suspect so be ware. I won't be going back there again. If I could give them a negative I would because they do not deserve a 1. Update Jan 2017. My bank refunded me the amount these scam artist over charged me. So for all of you who have gone there or wish to go there please either pay cash or pay close attention to your accounts. read more

Great Location, away from the crowded area of downtown and for some reason they had a pretty cool Dj when I went on Friday. Idk if this is the usual thing but it was pretty great. The music was really up-to-date and brought good vibes. We tried the peach flavor and the blueberry flavor tobacco for our hookah. It was told to me that they was not serving hard liquor but they had wine and beer which was fine with me because you can never go wrong with a beer. I will be back if my experience can be like that again! read more

Cool spot that's further down broad street. Owner was very nice, and attentive. Kinda divvy, but kinda hipster.

My girlfriends and I went here to end our girl's night out. The atmosphere is very laid-back, the workers are very friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Overall, I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great time with friends/loved ones. You won't regret it. read more

Just moved to Augusta and I checked this place out with a few friends. Definitely enjoyed the atmosphere! We got our hookahs right away and the servers was very helpful and attentive. We got mango mint and it was delicious. I would definitely come back :-) read more

Sharifa's Hookah Bar And Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

I was in Augusta for a conference. My coworker and I were looking for a laid back hookah spot. It was around 9:30 when we arrived to be greeted at the door by a woman who asked if we were regulars. I replied we were not and only in town for the next couple of days. She then proceeded to say that tonight was an open mic night and there was a $10 cover charge. Since it was Wednesday there was literally NO ONE inside. Why would I pay to walk into an empty lounge for an open mic night in Augusta! ? Nice try but I will pass. If I could give zero stars I would. We were obviously looking to have a good time and she turned away potential patrons with her games. I can see it's gonna be a long next couple of days. Get me back to ATLANTA read more

Amazing spot nicely tucked in Augusta's downtown strip. Shisha is high quality! Starbuzz is available in a variety of flavors. Hookahs are great and the service always kept it burning. They've got beer and wine on the menu and music going to keep the mood. read more

We are new to Augusta but not new a hookah we're from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and patronize lots of different hookah lounges within our home town. We went to Sharifas and was very disappointed. First of all they only have one hose hookahs so you have to share and switch tips if sharing a hookah within a large group. Also me and my husband sat for well over 15 minutes while are coals were heated up which nobody gave us a Time expectancy. The gentleman that served us or took our order was very friendly very sweet. After we waited over 15 minutes my husband and I decided to ask for a refund because it was taking too long while the Owners sat in the front smoking hookah we're just sitting in the back looking around like what's going on. The gentleman that served us decided to give us a refund while the woman that was sitting with him I'm assuming his boss started arguing with us very unprofessional as she sat in the chair smoking hookah with her leg over the arm of the chair started berating us for wanting a refund and talking over my husband as my husband complained about the time it took to heat up the coals and there was no communication. I asked a woman to stop talking to my husband that way and she says to me" I wasn't talking to you"! Any other day this would have ended badly but I have matured and learned to choose my battles the gentleman stayed quiet the whole time handed me cash which we paid for with a card at the beginning of the transaction. I said thank you I took the cash and we walked outside trying to get my husband out of there as soon as possible because him and the female we're going back and forth arguing. When I got outside I realize they shorted me a dollar so I went back inside and gave the money to the gentleman and said he had shorted me a dollar the gentleman took the money back quickly went to the register to give me the right amount the female owner was still talking stuff and says give him an extra $5!!! just to be smart I did not take the extra $5 she was implying that we were broke. When actually it was a service that caused us to ask for a refund and leave their establishment. I would give this place no stars. I know that Augusta is small and there's not a lot to do the find another hookah bar you will be disappointed. read more

My friends and I love doing hookah and after having a terrible experience with a competitor down the street we ended up here. This place is GREAT! The staff and owner went above and beyond to make sure our experience was unforgettable. The vibe is fantastic and the bartender was very knowledgeable about pairing our hookah with delicious wine and beer choices. Do yourself a favor and skip every other hookah option in Augusta. This place far exceeds the rest, and I've been to all of them! We can't wait to go back and I feel certain every experience will be as good as the first! read more

So we were looking for a hookah lounge and the sister business a couple blocks down was closed so we weren't sure what to do but the owners daughter drove by and drove us to the other spot. She hooked us up played the heat, and provided us with amazing hospitality. Needless to say this is our place that we'll keep coming back to. read more

This place was OK. The beers were $4 and the hookah was $20 for two. Our waiter got us set up and then never came back., When we asked her for more coals we waited for over 10 minutes before asking another worker for assistance. The other waiters appeared to be WAY more attentive. The bar was nice and chill. Though my server was not the best, I would come back. read more
