Intro
*Full…read moreDisclosure* We only came to this place for hookah and drinks.
After grabbing food and drinks nearby, a few friends and I were looking for a place to keep the party going. Enter #HouseOfHookah
Ambiance/Vibe
The vibe gives very much "club"/"lounge." If you're looking for a spot with a semi-after hours feel, that's dark with low cool/warm lights (blues, reds, etc.), and chill, you've found yourself in the right place. And, as the name suggests, there is hookah - no shortage of it.
I don't, however, recall the cost or options, etc, but I think it was fairly extensive.
The music was good, from what I recall.
4/5
Service
Service was... fine. Nothing outstanding. Just ok. However, it was a hassle just getting in with the different unknown, unposted rules. Unfortunately, I don't recall the specifics, but I just remember it being more complicated/involved than it should be for this establishment.
3/5
Food
We didn't order food, nor do I recall even seeing that there was food available, but according to their Google, there are at least light bites available.
N/A
Drinks
This place does NOT sell nor serve alcohol. You, however, are allowed to bring your own liquor in, but there are some rule(s) surrounding it, soi suggest you swing by and get the full specifics before you show up with your liquor.
This played into the issue with service. It felt like the rules were being divulged one at a time. Almost like "here is rule 1", then you do whatever it takes to comply, and then it's like, "Oh, but you can't do that because of rule 2, which is..."
It just felt overly complicated and unnecessarily, so, again, for a spot that just serves hookah...
N/A
Final Verdict
3/5 would not recommend.
NOT Lord Wellington Approved.
I would only recommend going to this place if you fall into 1 of 2 categories: 1) you are either not a drinker or not drinking at the moment or, 2) you're a college student and shouldn't be drinking.
While you can bring your own liquor, you had to buy cups, mixers, ice, etc. It's just a hassle if you're looking to wind down your night with a cocktail and a little hookah, having to go through extra steps (particularly at the time considering you would likely be coming after midnight).
Not my cup of tea, so I'd personally never return unless things changed.
