  I have no idea how this place is getting good reviews. I went here with my friend and her boyfriend on a Friday night and was very disappointed. First we come in and see a bunch of teenagers smoking hookah in a small room, they must own the place or something, never saw any one over 18 in charge here. Then we ask for a table and they take us upstairs to a small pitch dark room. There were four tables in a little room all with uncomfortable benches. We used our phones to look at the menu. Then after waiting 10 minutes with no one asking us even drink orders we go down to see why. Turns out they completing forget they ever seated us. We then tried to order food down there to make sure it got in, except they actually do not even sell food here. They told us the menu they have is for a bar down the street, and told us to walk there to get it and bring it back. Then we just decided to just order the hookah and go out to eat later. We order the hookah and go back upstairs to the small dark room. After 15 more minutes of waiting and no one ever coming up we just gave up and decided to leave. As we were walking out they asked why we were leaving, and we said we were tired of waiting and never getting service. They claimed they were waiting for the coals to heat up, but every hookah bar I have been too that does not take so long and if it was going to take so long they should have at least brought us some water and told us we were going to have to wait even longer. I wasted 25 minutes of my life in this place, and never plan on going back. There is no food here, they do not allow alcohol, and it is terrible service. I recommend avoiding this place.

  This place is dope. I loved all the suggestions they had with the hooka favors. Once we chose our custom blend they just told us to go relax and we will handle the rest. They did exactly that. I'm definitely coming back here.

  Came on a rainy day, so there weren't that many groups. Really perfect though. Good music selection that night. Service was great, attentive, and super friendly.
  
  As for the hookah itself, my friend and I ordered a wildberry mint, pretty good! The smoke was smooth and full. If regular is already that good, the ones with real fruit must be amazing. Apparently it's the only one in the area? Regardless, this is a place I would come back to again. Friendly service goes a long way.
  
  Also location is convenient. Large parking area right outside and really close to the bars.

  I came here a couple weeks ago for a girls night out with a party of seven and we had a blast! One of the identical twin owners introduced us to smoking shisha out of whole fruit. He combined white grape and strawberry shisha inside of cored pineapple, claiming that the fruit's juices would infuse for a more intense flavor. Twas amazing! The service was a bit slow at times, but overall very friendly.
  
  I also like how the owners made use of a tight space. Like other reviewers noted, it's sort of hard to find. It's located off of Main Street in Old Elliott City, but you enter through the back from the parking lot. The lounge encompasses three floors that are connected by a winding staircase. Each dimly lit floor is outfitted with leather (or leatherish) benches and wooden tables. This open design prevents feeling claustrophobic in this small venue. There are also lots of windows for extra ventilation, or people watching.
  
  I would have given this place 5 stars, but I found two major faults. First, they don't have a liquor license. When we asked the owners about it, they said they're working on it. Secondly, the music was kind of wack. There isn't a DJ, so the music is controlled by the employees' iGadgets. Sure, they played some old school jams... but at some point I heard Jack Johnson. Last time I checked, Banana Pancakes don't get the party popping!

  I'm glad there is finally a hookah bar in Old EC - but it's unfortunate that the location is so small. They are just now opening so they are ironing out kinks. It's worth going to and I'll be back. They don't have a huge assortment of tobacco flavors, but you can mix flavors and its relatively cheap - $20 for the first hookah and $10 for a refill.
