  Elixir Hookah Lounge is the only hookah bar i will go to. They have the best customer service, best prices, best music, and best tasting hookahs I've ever had. Trust me if you want a good spot to hang out with friends, listen to music, and smoke some hookah, go to Elixir.

  Best hookah spot I've ever been to BY FAR!
  
  Lots of room to move around and great seating outside.  The prices are very reasonable for what you get. They have a lot of staff members so you're never really left alone for too long!
  
  The presentation, food, and of course, Hookahs are all excellent. Service is on point, constant approaches by numerous caring servers making sure your experience is at its best.   They got the best hookah mixers in Kern County
  
  I come here on a regular basis because of all these great factors. Open Late night on the weekend for a the perfect place to go after a night out, or just making it the night out.
  
  Uplifting environment with great music, young professionals and very diverse clientele.
  They def. have the secrets of hookah lounge success down.  Wouldn't go anywhere else to enjoy the company of awesome service, friends and a good hookah.

  Went to the hookah bar for the first first time ever and man it was so chill !
  I went on Friday night around 10 pm.
  The Dj had great music,we got two hookahs since we were a group of 5.
  We sat down and chilled till 1 am..people still coming in and the people were really nice.I didn't not order food just a soda and just chilled and had a great night with my cousins and husband.i really did enjoy it!
  I'm coming here again for sure ! Oh and I ordered two different flavors to smoke and it got me do light headed lol but it was fun!

  I'll start out and say that Hookah bars aren't really my thing. This place was big and you can tell they spent a pretty penny on decor. They have a pretty extensive list of different tobaccos you can smoke but the service was pretty bad. Very unattentive. Not to mention it was a Saturday night and the place was basically empty. I don't see how this place will be able to stay open for much longer.
  
  Like I said. Hookah bars aren't my thing....2 stars.

  Poor decor, the whole hookah lounge vibe was missing. We got there around 7pm and were the only people in the entire place, and when we were about to leave, two guys walked in. The place was just unpleasant to be in: burn holes in furniture, rough looking waiter/bar keeper, top 40 music playing a little too loud for that type of establishment. With a little more effort and thought, it could be completely different. The hookah tasted ok, but after we were told that they light the coals with lighter fluid, I was put off it.

  This place is one of my and my friend's favorite place to hang out. The decor is nice and well kept, it's clean, and the hooka is fairly priced. The food is priced nicely as well, not too expensive. We tried the pita and hummus which was good but not my favorite.

  Everyone was talking about how great this place is. The decor is good and in the nice side of Bakersfield. The food unfortunately was not good. The salad was like staright out of a bag and the feta cheese tasted and looked more like mexican queso fresco. The hummus was good not the best i've had.
  
  When it came down to the Hookah, i couldnt taste much of the flavor it tasted more like dishwasher....
  
  OH and the tea, youd think they would brew their own...no you will get a tea bag.

  This place is huge inside. (...that's what she said?).  Couches lining the walls with tables and extra chairs, plus tables and chairs through the middle, and some sort of seating area with thrones in the back.   Its downright cavernous inside.  Plus an outdoor seating area up front with an additional 5-or-so tables.
  
  Each table has a little laminated menu with the shisha available on one side and the food they serve on the other.  I'm not one to eat while smoking, so I passed on the food and just got water instead.  Was brought bottled water even though I didn't specify, but that's ok.  
  
  Two different prices for two different categories of flavor.  You're looking at either $11.99 for standard flavors or $14.99 (I think) for more premium flavors (like bubble gum) with $5.00 refills.  2 people to a hookah, which is pretty standard for every hookah bar I've ever been to.
  
  There is a baby changing station in the woman's bathroom that made me laugh.  Ladies - don't bring your baby to a hookah bar.  Just sayin.  DJ played pretty standard hip hop music.  Coals were changed regularly while we smoked.  2 big screen tv's were showing the basketball game.    
  
  2 people, 2 bottles of water, 2 hours, under $20.  Is it a 5 star place? No.  Would I go back?  Yes. The employees were pretty nice and I like hookah.
