Empire Hookah Lounge

The best hookah service Ive ever had. The people who run this place REALLY figured out how to perfect a hookah lounge. They offer tobacco free hookah which is perfect! still lots of smoke and tasty. Dont be  a hard ass and going straight for tangeriner youll feel sick unless you're used to that kind of tobacco intake. Music is AWESOME. the couch set up KIND of sucks but Im sure theyll fix that later. Other than that ill definitely be going back and taking my friends from school!

Probably one of my favorite hookah places near Los Angeles.

***CASH ONLY***

SERVICE: The customer service is excellent, friendly, and always easy to talk to.

HOOKAH: LOTS of flavors to choose from. The hookah is pretty good, some flavors get harsher quicker but let the employees know so they can try to fix it for you. The only thing I don't like is the $5 additional charge for the 3rd person in your group.

DRINKS: $1 can sodas/water or free if you check in on Yelp.

ATMOSPHERE: I like it. It's the "Hollywood Hookah" but without the bs. You get your music videos, coals refilled, dim-light setting, comfy couches and chairs, and chill people around you.

RESTROOMS: Clean

Empire is my go to hookah lounge. I've been to many hookah lounges, what makes this specific lounge different from other lounges and bars is that they carry mystique ice tips, and they serve two lines of different shisha (tobacco) one of them being Tangiers which is good quality tobacco, and haze. They also carry Shiazo, which are steam stones , which is a good option for people who don't want to smoke tobacco. The prices are very reasonable. The 2 guest special is honestly a good deal. It includes 2 drinks and a bowl change. On weekends there is cover charge of $3. The lounge itself is a very relaxing place to smoke, it plays really good music and they have movie nights. Its spacious for a small lounge, and the workers are very chill and easy to talk to . Also Empire kind of doubles as a smoke shop, they carry bowls, hookah pens, the Kaloud Lotus and Chronic Hookah coals. ( which btw most smoke shops don't carry, only online stores carry them.)
