I had one of the worst experiences I've ever had at this lounge last night. Without any real…read moreexplanation or attempt to de-escalate the situation, three security guards physically grabbed and dragged me out of the venue. It was completely unnecessary, aggressive, and honestly humiliating. During the incident one of the guards had his arm around my neck to the point where I couldn't breathe and my necklace was ripped off in the process. At no point did anyone try to calmly speak to me or explain what the issue was. Being handled by multiple security guards like that felt excessive and unprofessional, especially in a place that's supposed to be about having a good time. Instead of basic communication, the situation immediately escalated to physical force. I would strongly caution anyone thinking about going here. A night out shouldn't end with you being physically dragged out by security with no explanation. There are plenty of lounges in the city that treat their guests with far more respect.

Sooo i got here around 9/930.. it wasn't that many ppl. The bartender met me at the bar and asked…read moreif i would like to sit at the bar or at a table. I chose a table. I was there for around two hours.. had my hookah going , had four drinks. Just vibing ( i was by myself too btw) and a guy was sitting right beside me he was alone too. Tell me why the a lady ( I'm guessing she was the owner) came up to me and say 'i just sold this table' so I'm bamboozled honestly because i been here since like 9pm when shit wasn't popping: then she says you can stand up at the bar , I'm sorry. I didn't want to stand up or be around hella ppl that's why i picked to sit at a table.. so i paid my tab and left. I spent like $80 for the hookah and drinks and left a small tip. I was honestly thrown off and mad so the tip reflected that. Although it wasn't the hookah girl fault. But i legit tracked to Charlotte to catch a vibe and this place threw me off. That was so rude . I get she was getting a bigger profit off of the table and it was more ppl but like damn? It's common courtesy.. it was fucked up in my opinion. When supporting black businesses goes wrong. Lol i definitely won't be back...

The host notified me that the tables and chairs were dirty and would need to be wiped off. (They insisted that I sit inside) first red flag.. next the server didn't speak much English and messed up my hookah and food order which had to be made over. Lastly, their "fees" on the bill. Between taxes, other indescribable fees and automatic gratuity it wasn't even worth it. Dirty sofas, no soap in bathrooms and burnt pillows to add on. First and last time going. So much for being a repeat customer.

Her two friends came in and stood right next to me at the end of the bar and she started hugging and speaking to them. She made eye contact with me 2 more times before giving them free liquor in to-go cups and then they walked out with it. She then asked me what I wanted. Proceeds to overcharge me $27 for a bourbon and automatically added 20% gratuity. Nicole (the name on the receipt) she never introduced herself of course. Hospitality industry is not for you babes. No wonder the bar was empty!

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.

My friends and I just waited around by the bar for about half hour before a table was available. Our server Polina was great--friendly and attentive. They had a live DJ and the music was very loud so it was hard to talk to my friends--this place felt more like a club lounge than a relaxing cigar lounge.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere pulls you in--classy, cozy, and timeless. The decor strikes the perfect balance between vintage charm and modern luxury, making it an ideal place to unwind. Their cigar selection is impressive. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just exploring the world of cigars, there's something for everyone. The staff is super knowledgeable and always ready with a great recommendation. Drinks? On point. The cocktails are crafted with care and the bar menu complements the cigars beautifully. It's the kind of place where you can sip, smoke, and actually have a conversation.

If you're looking for a classy spot to enjoy a good cigar, a great drink, and even better company--this is it. I can't wait to come back

Just tried to experience this bar on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate a birthday with friends. I was…read morethe last of two people to join a party of 5 that were already in attendance. We were immediately turned away because we had on sweatpants. The attire rules are posted at the door in a very abrupt and abrasive way and we were quickly approached. The bar was near empty, we only wanted to continue our friend's bday celebration. There was a white server that walked right by us and entered the cigar room with the black server. She didn't say anything to us but the black server immediately came out and told us we needed to leave because of our attire. We were kempt and professional, yet casual. The servers had on uggs, leggings, half zip nylon pullovers, and had the audacity to approach us about attire. I will never, ever, spend my dollars, nor recommend this place to anyone...for ANYTHING.
