Shisha is a pipe-type instrument which you smoke tobacco mixed with water. It is completely legal which I wanted to put out there first and foremost. It was the biggest sticking point for me before I went and I took more than my fair share of persuasion before I went. On my first and last visit, I was with friends who have frequented the place more than once so I followed behind them and did as they did.
It's really not the sort of place I would ever visit again. You can bring your own alcohol which makes it more bearable. However, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable throughout it as it just is not my sort of thing. Ironically Shisha is meant to help you relax. For some people, this is the perfect place to go and chill out and for that reason you are welcome to it. I would rather a pub and a club to loosen myself up.
It can often be over used but this is the epitome of 'you'll like it if it's your sort of thing'.
It's not mine and I really did not enjoy it. read more
