If you're looking for a spot that perfectly nails the "lounge vibe" without the chaotic energy of a club, Trio Hookah Lounge is exactly where you need to be. It has officially become my go-to destination whenever I visit Jacksonville and want to get out of the house and actually enjoy my night. First off, the service here is top-tier. The staff is attentive, friendly, and they genuinely make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. And the food? It's consistently delicious. I recently had the salmon, and it was cooked to perfection--flaky, flavorful, and better than what you'd find at most dedicated restaurants. It's rare to find a lounge where the kitchen keeps up with the quality of the atmosphere, but Trio pulls it off effortlessly. Now, let's talk about the main event. In my opinion, Trio offers the best hookah in the city. The pulls are smooth, the flavors are bold, and the setup is always clean. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing smoke, you won't find a better experience elsewhere. The Vibe: It's a true kick-back atmosphere. It's sophisticated and lively, making it the perfect middle ground for those who want to socialize without the deafening noise of a nightclub. The Crowd: Be warned--this place is a local favorite for a reason! It gets rather packed on the weekends. Reservations: To ensure you aren't stuck waiting, I highly recommend reserving a table in advance if you're planning a weekend visit. I can't recommend Trio Hookah Lounge enough. Whether you're there for the vibes, the incredible salmon, or the smoothest hookah in town, you're guaranteed a great time. read more

Always a good time here! The vibe is on point, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and the food is always fresh and flavorful.

Shoutout to Karina--she always has great energy and awesome recommendations. The whole team just makes you feel welcome every time you come through the door. read more

Cool place tucked in a little shopping center. Ordered a strawberry mango hookah which was pretty good. And for food ordered the Pasta with mussels. Just had a water to drink. The pasta was okay. A little over cooked. Sauce could've used some salt. Felt like it was lacking in flavor. Maybe some lemon. Idk. The service was good and they do charge 18% gratuity. read more

Went on a double date here. Got there around 7pm and was able to get a table for 4 before it got busy. The DJ plays good rap & R&B so the vibes were vibing. The hookah is pretty good. My husband and I got a white peach/blue mist & our friends got blueberry mint. Both were very smooth. Definitely will come back again. read more

We came here for a "Latino night" for some food and Hookah. Got in around 8 pm, ordered some food and Hookah. We were told that "Latino Night" will start at 9:30pm, however we waited till 10:30pm. It was just the Latino music, and that's all. I know that it was a Wednesday night, but you can do better than that. Overall, the food was average, and the Hookah was average as well. read more

Came here on a Monday night. They are open until 2am. Karina was an amazing service. She was very attentive and very honest about what was good/bad to order. The strawberry and cream hookah was nice and smooth. We got it with the ice base. The watermelon jolly rancher drink was good: very sweet tho. They have TVs playing the basketball game. Also have a mix of music playing. Thursdays they have a belly dancer. read more

I'm a regular at trio and love it. My go-to is always an espresso martini with chicken kebab and either Blue mist or code 69 hookah. The chicken kebab is some of the best in town as it's well seasoned along with flavorful jasmine rice and veggies. Crystal and Lejla are excellent and know how to make us feel at home! read more

This was our first time at Trio and it was so disappointing. Our waitress was very rude. I asked for recommendations for hookah flavors and she said she had a lot of tables to serve...as if she didn't have time to help us. Even though we were at a table she was serving. When asking about menu items, the waitress seemed very annoyed, and agitated with the fact that we had questions. It is dark in there, so it can be hard to read the menus. The music was okay, but our waitress really did make us feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome. Unfortunately a tip was included with the check. She's lucky because she would've not gotten a tip. read more

Always a wonderful experience here at Trio Tajra and Karina are radiant as always and incredibly attentive to the guest experience. Never a harsh bowl when you're outside and they have a second sense about when coals are needed. For sure a favorite and this evening definitely made this special occasion next level. read more

Why is this place so amazing? The vibe is chill. The hookah is yummy and clean. The music is spot on. The servers are phenomenal and help you along the way. It's a place you could easily hang out all night. Don't be intimidated if you've never done hookah. This is the most inviting place to try it. read more

Ambiance was great. Drinks were fabulous. Food wasn't so great but overall we had a great time. read more

I came here Sunday 9/20 with a friend who was in town visiting. After checking out other hookah spots on yelp I decided on this one since it had pretty good reviews and it's not far from my house. I've been to a few hookah lounges throughout several cities; DC, MD, NY, Philly, and Miami so I have an idea what to expect. Don't get me wrong, our server Tajra was great and went above and beyond when she could. My first moment of disappointment was when we tried the calamari. It was my friend's first time so he didn't know how to gauge the quality but they tasted old, fishy and didn't look fresh at all. I wish I would have snapped a picture. I even let the server know but nothing occurred. The hummus w/ pita was good but then again how can you mess that up? The Hookah was good. We Had the Miami nights and Havana nights flavors. I personally preferred Havana nights. Reasonably priced $23.99 plus a $15 repack fee. Then we got our drinks (this is where the remaining of our disappointments happen) a mango margarita was ok. We had 2 but since we felt they barely had liquor my friend switched to a Long Island. I've never in my life had a Long Island not taste like a Long Island and not be strong. Apparently the bartender was either not that good or they REALLY count their liquor to a point the drinks don't even taste like what they're supposed to. My friend still drank it because he doesn't like to send stuff back. He asked for a second and asked our waitress if she could make it instead and if it could be stronger. She made us one each and although it was a bit more strong it still didn't taste like a Long Island. But we didn't complain or send back because we hate to be those people. The thing that disturbed me the most I think was that I didn't see anyone wearing a mask. None of the workers and not even the people walking in & out or throughout the place. Thankfully we sat outside but when I went to use the bathroom I noticed I was the only one with a mask on. I didn't catch on until I went to the bathroom but at this point we had been there a while. I'm sad to report Trio hookah lounge did not do it for us and I honestly doubt I would go back or recommend. read more

Only four stars because the HOOKAH was TRASH! Sorry, it just had no taste at all it was awful tasting ! I wanted to taste the flavor but it just gave me a headache NOW the food was DELICIOUS I wanted to order another plate of the lamb because I was sucking the flavor off the bone! Will be back for food only, and the calamari was perfectly breaded, it was not too much just enough to taste the meat and have a little crunch! read more

This place is Amazing! Every time I go there I feel like a VIP guest! The Server immediately gets us seated and takes our order! Olga is my favorite! She is very sweet and an excellent server! She comes back to check multiple times. And once in a while when the owner is not busy he comes and says hello. I've been going there since they opened! The ambiance is very relaxed, and the place is very clean. The Hookah's are really good! I am absolutely in love with this place! I often take my friends there and they love it! read more

Spent 200$ in food and drinks only for them to kick us out of our table because of a 50$ hookah min. not everyone smokes hookah and there were empty tables at the moment. will not be back for a No room club! read more

This place is nastyyy!! The food is okay, but they have gnats in the bathroom and rats outside.

This is not my first time in a hookah lounge, but I still consider myself a newbie when it comes to hookahs. Decided to come here for a date night with the boy since we wanted to try something new. It is VERY easy to miss as it is in a strip that is behind the main front. The setup is like a restaurant with a bar in the back, but the atmosphere is very relaxed. We didn't have any food; just spent a few hours there relaxing. We tried the blueberry flavor hookah and really enjoyed it. It was weird at first since we were the only ones in the whole pace, but eventually it started to fill up partially. The only thing was the music was wayyyyy toooooo loud. We could barely hear ourselves talk. Our server though was really nice and checked on us often. I'd come back again. Nice place to relax with a couple of friends. read more

Soto is amazing !!! Makes the best expresso martinis! I've been in 3 times and love the atmosphere...and it's always a plus when the bartender knows your order ! read more

This will be an odd review, coming from a non-smoker. Trio Lounge is a bit more modernized than other hookah locations. The interior is nice- there are changing LED lights all around you, which adds to this modern look. It looks spacious with plenty of seating options, though I visited during its first weeks of opening and don't know how it would seem at full-capacity. In the upstairs area where I was sitting, it was hard for the waitresses to get by because of the little space between our chairs and the separating wall. That's really my only critique. There is also a DJ booth in the corner that provides you with upbeat pop/Eastern European/Arabic music. My group ordered bubblegum flavored hookahs, and they really loved them! I assume that their other hookahs are just as good. Their menu has a variety of food options, and they also have a good selection of drinks to choose from in their separate drink menu. In general, the service is okay. I could see Trio Lounge as the next big thing- it only needs more customers! The location isn't too easy to find, but that's not problem. The owner does a great job publicizing the lounge with ample social media posts. I had a great time overall! read more

Karina was great, very energetic and her service was amazing. She continuously checked in on us to make sure we were good & was incredibly nice. The lamb was really good and hookah was very flavorful and smooth that she recommended! 10/10! read more

Nice relaxed hookah lounge on the south side. Had a great waitress who knew the menu very well! The actual hookah was okay, the hookah machines could've been a little easier to handle. The cord kept coming apart, that was problematic. The beef kabobs lacked seasoning / the rice no seasoning either. The wings were amazing! read more

Karina is a fantastic server, make sure you ask for her! Friendly, informative, and considerate. The venue is super chill for anyone who wants to kick back and listen to some music with friends. No complaints about the food either, it hit the spot! read more

This place is the best in Jax for hookah! I've been to almost all the hookah bars in Jacksonville & Trio is the spot to go to. They have a great atmosphere, delicious food & drinks also.

The best hookah lounge in town. I've been to every single hookah lounge with the exception of 2. This is by far the best lounge! Quality of hookah is amazing whether it's the tobacco, coal and/or hose. A++ The food is good too! Cons? Bathroom always needs attention. They need to add few more servers. No alcohol just wine and beer. read more

The lounge is very nice with a great ambience. However my experience was subpar. When we arrived we were greeted and sat down immediately. We were given a menu, and we ordered two drinks a hookah. After the waitress gave us our drinks and hookah, only then did she say the chef was not there and no food could be served. It was unprofessional of her to not state that earlier, as we probably would not have stayed. I will probably return, but I will make sure I eat before I do! Alcohol on an empty stomach could make for a bad evening! read more

Have been in Jacksonville for the last 15 years and my friends and I have been looking for the perfect spot and this is it!!! The hookah COULD be better (it doesn't really hit well) but that's about it and my only reason for the 4star. But Atmosphere and pricing and even location is pretty ideal. Low key spot. read more
