  Coffee here is pretty good but I hate the whole "hookah" aspect of it.

  Great place to go relax and even take a nap. Really down to earth. It seems to be a very quiet place. Great place to go with friends and your laptop.

  This place is great. The hookah, music ( Star Wars ), drinks and everything, if I settle here, this would be my favorite place.

  Great local small business. They have WiFi, tea, coffee, and, of course, hookah. Great place to hang out and study if need be. Great hip place with great atmosphere! Support this local business!

  Super friendly staff. Awesome coffee and shisha. If you go on a semi regular basis the staff will know you by name. Keep in mind when the local schools are in session. They tend to get a bit busy.

  Fantastic coffee and a very chill atmosphere.  This is a place to come either with friends or just to chill and get some creative work done.  They have so many delicious tobacco flavors it's almost difficult to choose (Hint, just keep going back and trying new ones each time).  I will definitely be back.

  I don't smoke hookah but I love coffee so I like this place a lot. I'm going to be honest... kind of just wish it was a coffee place because I think the hookah aspect brings in a weird element. Sorry!!! The mochas are great. Met the owner and he seems super nice. Good luck, Mike!

  Best coffee in the area. Wilkes-Barre severely lacks establishments like this.  It is a great place to hang out at late night when you aren't up for going to a bar. Definitely a saving grace for this area.

  This place opened a year ago and I'm so glad that it's doing well and still around. It's a great place to share some conversation, coffee and shisha with your friends... and offers us 20-somethings something to do other than frequent the all-too familiar bars around town. I love it.

  Growing up in northeastern Pennsylvania, in the barren coal mining town of Wilkes-Barre, there was little to do in terms of nightlife. We had one hole-in-the-wall venue to see bands, a donut shop to get coffee, and our choice of Denny's or Eddie's diner for late night food. Needless to say, I had my share of exploring abandoned buildings, roaming the streets, and trespassing on old train bridges during my teens.
  
  In the last ten years, there has been an effort to rebuild the ghostly downtown sector of Wilkes-Barre around the two college campuses, Wilkes University and Kings College. In addition to a new campus bookstore, various restaurants, and bars, small businesses started popping up. One of the most recent and unique places is the Crimson Lion Hookah Lounge.
  
  All ages? Check. Gourmet coffee and tea? Check. Open late? Check. Everything I always wanted in my youth is here, complete with free wi-fi and a bookshelf filled with classic fiction.
  
  So now when I visit my parents, I can stop in to the Crimson Lion with my laptop, get some great coffee and a hookah and hang out for hours without worrying about drinking and driving, getting kicked out at nightfall, or spending too much money. Thank god for progress.
