Never open. Â A relaxing puff after a large dinner would of been nice. Went out of my way to find Cloud Nine. Â Despite it being after 7:00 pm I was told that they where not open yet. Â I asked about the posted hours of 5:00-12:00 and was laughed at and told they do not go by that. Â Even though someone was working and the door was open. Â What a disappointment. Â First time there and was turned away at the door. Â Nothing worse then a business that will not take your money.
Review Source:In all of the cities I've lived in, there have always been a plethora of hookah bars to choose from and I was surprised an up-and-coming hip city like Chatt didn't have one yet. Â So I was ecstatic when Chattanooga finally opened their first hookah bar! Â Upon walking in, I was immediately impressed by the decor and atmosphere - lush fabrics and drapery, deep warm jewel tones, lots of floor cushions and pillows, low lighting, and Middle Eastern music. Â I like when a hookah bar keeps it authentic instead of getting too minimalistic and trendy.
The place is owned by a young couple who also work there, and they are both very friendly and funny. Â The hookah itself is quality, and they have a variety of flavors to choose from - you can even mix flavors if you'd like. Â Additionally, Cloud Nine offers drinks (alcoholic and not) and tasty Meditteranean appetizers like hummus and grape leaves! Â Best of all, it's really reasonably priced - hookah can sometimes get expensive, but not this place!
The owners were telling me that Chattanooga really gave them the run around when they tried to open the lounge. Â So unfortunately, it's only 21 and up, even though most hookah places are 18+. Â I'm sure that impedes business a little since Chattanooga is largely populated with UTC students! Â Anyway, if you're over 21 and open to a relaxing experience with some friends, give Cloud Nine a try!
It's a shame that this place is 21 and up because they're missing out on potential customers (i.e. some college students), but it's the city's fault and not theirs.
I can't tell you enough how great Cloud Nine is! From the variety of hookah flavors to their teas, you're going to enjoy what you get there. Upon my first visit we chatted a bit with the owners, and they are so helpful and genuine. If you've been to other hookah joints, you can tell they took the time and effort to really decorate the place and give it the right vibe. If you're in Chattanooga, Cloud Nine is a MUST!
P.S. They're also beginning to have weekly specials (1/2 off, 15% with college or military ID), so be sure inquire over the phone or when you come in!
