Booze and Belly Dancers…read more About last night at Puff Social celebrating a birthday... This drink was so strong I forgot the name. It tasted like an alcoholic chocolate milk though. So good. Spent the whole day out and ended the night at a hookah bar celebrating a birthday and belly dancing with the Kazan sisters at Puff Social! We took 360 photos courtesy of Funboxxpb. Who knew El Paso had such a fun experience comparable to any I've had in Orange County CA? Now if I could only find a good Za'atar Manakish I'll be a happy woman!

Prior to coming I heard nothing but great things from locals who live here recommending it. Went last night and was wowed. Not only was the hookah smooth and flavorful it was prices well. The atmosphere was what I wanted. Great music with nice mix of genre's everything flowed well. The staff was exceptionally nice. The owner went out of his way to make sure I was good. This is the type of service everyone wants wherever they go. The owner talked to us as we smoked very down to earth and was a great host. Also saw him speak to other guest as they walked in. Very nice place. This will definitely be my home while I'm here. Can't get enough of the experience. Because that's what it is when coming here. An experience.

Nooow add in my server, Solomon, and it's nearly a party! But then... here comes the Chef to check on me, and his name?? FREEDOM!! Just soak that in! This is a can't miss spot if you're in El Paso.

So I, of course, feeling the need always to explore new cocktail bars or restaurants in my hometown when visiting home, was pretty excited for the opportunity to check out Hush Hush. As a true millennial Gemini, I celebrate my birthday for the whole month, so I quickly texted my family and friends; this is where I wanted to go. What I love about Hush Hush is how it's encouraging and pushing folks to step out of their comfort zone in their attire and dress more to the vibes of this cocktail house (Think Soho, ABA, Casablanca, and Elephante). You're bound to see more desert tones, muted colors, flowy pants, basically anything resort wear. It's cool to see this cocktail house make you feel like you're not in El Paso. The music is different, more loungey, to where you can hear everyone at your table. Of course, there's still a DJ, but damn, Hush Hush is intentionally geared for those who love to go out but need top-shelf cocktails without the eye rolls or the bartenders staring at us with blank eyes. Hush Hush is a true game changer. The lines might get crazy, but I suggest getting there early so you can snag your photos and a solid table/spot. There are three main bar areas, but my fave was the velvet room. I suggest catching a drink on the second floor if you get there early enough to get an eagle eye's view of the establishment. Attention to detail was on point, and I appreciated the homework and research done before the opening of this spot. It's an elevated experience for the city and one I wish every city in the States had tbh.

On this particular day we visited when the kitchen was closed so we had to focus on a liquid appetizer to say. This establishment has you feeling like you've been transported to another city and it really feels like a mini vacation spot. The drink menu is something to admire as they were really thought out and well curated. It was in all the details from presentation to garnishes. My partner had a frozen beverage that was a personal fave of his and really enjoyed the fresh ingredients he could taste. I can't wait to come back and explore the menu.

I ordered "La Sirena" and it came in the cutest mug w a mermaid tail. Then a margarita martini (SOO good). I started with the Tiradito and Aguachile appetizers. Both FRESH and very flavorful. I enjoyed the spice my one the most. From there moved on to the fish tacos and the potatoe fingerlings side. Can I just say WOW ! The fish was fresh and not frozen. I was actually impressed with the quality . Only two come per order but pretty filling. I don't even like potatoes or fries but however the chef seasoned them and prepared the green sauce on the bottom was perfection! The service was amazing especially from Eddie the bar manager - he was engaging and knowledgeable of mixology. Truly put love into all of our drinks. Highly recommend. It's an upscale spot that's a must try!!

In the beginning we did stick around for the drag shows but then started leaving because its almost the same performers on Fridays and Sundays which left us scratching our heads. We might give the drag shows a second chance once we start seeing performers we still have not seen perform there. But there is also something else we don't like, the guy who hosts the show like to sometimes make fun of some performers and some people in the audience, this is not funny, it's bullying and not professional for someone with a microphone to be shaming people for a cheap laugh.

Place is nice. I like cozy small bars like this. We went mid day around 2. Drink menu is underwhelming. I had the flowershop and my husband had the expresso martini. Not a true expresso but it was good. Nothing else looked appealing. Lots of tequila options so if thats your jam, then you may enjoy the drink menu much more. Drinks were okay and it was 28$ for 2 drinks which wouldn't be an issue if they were really great drinks. I think it has a lot of potential but we wouldn't come back.

Living in New Orleans for a few years, I can tell you that The Big Easy does not take their tiki bar game lightly and I've had my fair share of adventures. Although the exterior of the building might be misleading, you can expect a world of Polynesian delight and flavors that will leave your taste buds tingling. A dimly lit environment carefully decorated to theme, shows the intentionality behind The Tiki Room El Paso. I had been to their original location by the courthouse and this is a true 2.0 rebirth of the establishment. Now my fave thing to do at any spot is to ideally sit at the bar to get the full experience. What really stood out to me was the level of commercial kitchen equipment that ensured the kitchen smells and smoke didn't take over the place. It's all in the details. The staff here is super fun and engaging which made it all the better. My friend and I were served by Adam and their service with the food and drink program made it all the five-star experience one hopes to receive. If you're getting a drink or served by Adam then you're in for a delight. I had a zombie drink and the flavors were so well mixed that it was easy to forget how liquored up they were. This drink has a two drink maximum and lemme tell you, later that night it was clear why that is lol. I definitely had a good buzz flowing. My favorite part was the serving presentation which had the cinnamon sparks and flicks of fire. My friend was hungry and kept raving about the pork belly bowl and damn was she right. The pork belly was crispy and juicy with each bite. You can respect the aroma and fresh ingredients including green onions, pineapple, jalapenos, and fried garlic. You have to order one (maybe two) for the table. Take a look around and enjoy the vibes. It's an absolute must.

Since I was with folks who grew up in the adjacent neighborhood we all appreciated the house being repurposed with thought and they have done a nice job turning into a quaint bar with a large patio area. Decor/vibe - 5* The overall vibe of this place is great. We visited on a weekend and there was a live jazz band, who were quite good though it is definitely loud inside during that time. If you have an Apple Watch it will complain to you about the dB registering over 85 for sustained periods of time. In this instance it was about 90-100 the entire time we were there. Throughout the inside there are tabletops with seating and standing, the bar is long without overcrowding the seating which is a nice touch for those sitting at the bar vs those simply trying to order a drink at the bar. There is plenty of area to stand or sit out on the patio as well and one can still hear the live band which makes for a great ambiance. I'd recommend the patio area as the vibe out there is great. There is a bar service area outside connected to the interior bar area though it was not actively setup when we visited. Well thought and makes service streamlined without running between patrons. Food & Drink - 4* The drinks we had were good though nothing on the menu is super "craft" cocktail if that's what you're after. The wine and beer selection is decent as well. Service - 5* The bartenders are very attentive and did a great job balancing the number of people without service times being too long. Pricing - 4* Subjective but IMO nothing is over the top and the service was quick. Overall - 4.5* This is a cute and quaint cocktail bar for those who may be in a group or just taking a date after a meal nearby. I'd recommend visiting and we will all certainly be back!
