I've been smoking hookah for a while now, let's say 1 or 2 years now, and I can honestly say that this place has more than exceptional hookah. Unlike many other places I've been to, they actually KNOW the proper way to smoke and prepare hookah. They are experts, they are mix masters and I find myself smoking here for hours with a hookah that doesn't get harsh in like 30 minutes like others places I've been to. The environment is conducive to fun. Very very social and overall great for meeting people of many backgrounds. I gave it a chance and more than having no regrets I find myself deserting hookah lounges of old for the premium tastes of the aforementioned. It only gets better. Give it a shot and I guarantee you that you won't regret your decision. Trust me, I've smoked many hookah, but this place tops it. Even I find myself under the mercy of the masters. "Hook-me-up" is merely an understatement. Go for it, I implore you.
Review Source:I am addicted to this place! I'm addicted to hookah in general, I have been to almost every hookah lounge in San Diego. Majority of them are over priced starbuzz dispensaries, by this I mean that they take their flavors straight out of a can and bam, there you go. This is not the case at Hook Me Up, Sergey is a Hookah Master, and this is no understatement, It's a title rewarded to him for years of mastering his craft. He is to hookah what a mixologist is to bartending. I have tried over 7 flavors all that have been recommended to me. None have disappointed, The English Breakfast, Ice Apple and Watermelon are all to die for. This is the first time I can honestly say that I'm savoring the taste of what i'm smoking. You can compare this experience to a good quality cigar. With a very diverse menu you will never be disappointed. Have a specific taste you're looking for? Go ahead and ask, Serg has over 9000 combinations in his head... he told me I can smoke a new flavor every day for the next 30 years lmao!
So we have already established that they have the best quality hookah in town, now here is what has me coming back almost every night (I'm literally waiting for my friend to get here so we can go again tonight) The Owners. Never have a I felt so welcomed to an establishment. You enter and you are instantly greeted as if you're part of the family. It can be your very first time there or you can be one of the regulars, the atmosphere is always the same, extremely welcoming. They keep the vibe intact, being in such close proximity to the bars you get the occasional incoherent drunk. I laughed my ass off when I saw one of the owners tell a drunk that the hookahs were 100$ each just to deflect them.
I can go on and on of why this is the place to be. Meet me at the lounge and i'll tell you more... wait until you meet one of our regular "Wesley Snipes." Come on down... 25$ won't break the bank, more than likely the owners are already smoking a popular flavor and will gladly let you taste it before you buy. Trust me that's all you need ;D
Get the earl grey hookah! Â The flavor just blew me away... I love tea, I love hookah, so it is the best of both worlds!
All jokes aside, hookah is only 50% of what one needs to really enjoy their time. Â The environment and the owners are amazing. Â Really chill! Â They will let you try flavors you may not necessarily think of ordering... like Dim Sum in a Chinese restaurant.
I would give six stars if I could, because this place is clean, service is great and the product is amazing and truly unique!
Great hookah bar, I have been smoking hookah for years and have visited many establishments and have never enjoyed my experience as much as I did here. The hookah was incredible with flavors I've never had before and such effort is put into the flavors it makes all other hookah futile in comparison. The owners Ike and Serg have such knowledge of the business they have made hook me up the best hookah in San Diego. My new favorite spot I will definitely become a regular here.
Review Source:Great little hookah lounge right in PB! Owners are always on premises making sure you're pleased with everything. Hookah flavors selection is great and they guy makes it great, too. I'm definitely not a huge fan of smoking of any kind, but I actually won't mind going there once in a while :)
P.S. the room is very tiny, probably around 4 tables total so plan accordingly ;)
This place is a place I would bring any guests and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quality hooka and the atmosphere is very friendly and comfortable to be around. I have been to many hooka places in San Diego area but nothing can compare to "hook me up". And as far as the hooka it last longer and stays flavorful. It is the best place to check out and you will not regret it.
Review Source:OMG, It's an awesome bar. I came in with a friend for a talk-and-smoke session, and literally time flew so fast. The place offers enormous amount of flavors (English breakfast is one of the best), Â sticks come in either hot or cold (up on your choice), sitting area is very comfy, AC is working fine, and especially Hookah Masters are best at what they do: making and fixing hookahs, explaining methods of Hookah origins and meeting new people (They Have this magnetic attitude, which made me really feel appreciated). We had a great time, and will come back for sure!
Review Source:Can't say enough good things about this place. Â The owner was beyond chill and seriously goes above and beyond with the hospitality! Â The ambiance of the place has a great modern feel to it. Â As far as the hookah it is hand mixed and the English Breakfast with green apple and mint was probably the best hookah I've had. Â The selection of flavors is extensive and the owner is very knowledgeable. Â I am definitely planning on going back the next time I am in Pacific Beach.
Review Source:I was visiting family in San Diego and found myself stumbling drunkenly around PB looking for a place to hang after the bars were all closed. Low and behold some guy says "hey, we just opened our new hookah spot you should come in and check it out." I figured why not and came in. They gave me a menu with like 100 options on it and after flipping it around a few times, I told them to just "hook me up." in minutes I had a hookah at my table. The flavor was amazing, not to mention they let me try a few other flavors, so I know what to order next time. These guys really are "hookah masters." The atmosphere was warm, the staff was knowledgeable and welcoming, and overall just a really mellow feel. They really made me feel at home and the guy that dragged me in, Ike, was really entertaining. I'll definitely be back soon.
Review Source:This place is amazing!!!!! Finally a nice chill spot!!! Welcome to the Neighborhood!!! Walked in as a spur of the moment, and was greeted by very gracious and welcoming owners and staff!!!
I was hanging in my old neighborhood since from when I moved up to the bay and was chilling with my buddies and we just loved this place!!!
YOU HAVE TO GET THE FISH TANK HOOKAH!!! There is nothing like it in all of Cali...
Cant wait for what these guys dooo next...
Super friendly guys that own the place! Â We were just walking by and the decor caught our eye. Â They have these glass tiled walls that change color. Â The ambience is upscale but down to earth. Â We wanted to smoke and the guys just welcomed us in and sat and chatted with us like we were all old friends. Â Made us flavors that were so unique, I've never tasted flavors like this!!! Â Will definitely be back over and over again! Â Great job guys! Â This place is going to be amazing! Â Finally have a great hookah lounge to go to! Â PLEASE GO THERE IF YOU'RE IN PACIFIC BEACH!!!!! Â Ike and Shot are awesome!
Review Source:FInally a different type (more modern) of atmosphere for a Hookah lounge. The tobacco is tasty, extremely smooth and long lasting. The coals do not have to be changed during a session, place is greatly decorated, very cozy and great for social interaction or just relaxation. Certainly the best hookah I've ever smoked. I'll certainly be coming here more often...
