This is the most suburban hookah bar that I've ever visited and I AM FROM OHIO. There's so much plaid and we're watching sports.
It costs $20 for a basic hookah. Which is like 2 standard deviations from every other hookah place in this half of the country.
The furniture is awkward. There's couches along the walls but the stand alone chairs are creepily business-like. The tables are setup in 3-tops and, for some odd reason, the owner keeps pushing our empty chair into the flow of traffic. He also stood awkwardly watching The One Pakistani Guy in the building adjust the coals.
Perhaps he didn't see that the girl he hired (blue plaid shirt) started a third piece of coal onto the 2 still good coals. But she dropped the newly lit coal into my lap. /facepalm
They don't have alcohol. At all. Which means that I noticed the plain wood trim that frames everything, including the empty wooden frames (?!). And the Pier One chandeliers with fake candles.
So, it sounds like a sports bar; there's no beer; it's lit up like Great Aunt Jo's creepy antique dining hall; and everyone is dressed for a barn jam. Â Do yourself a favor -- walk across the street to Convenience Food Mart and get yourself some nice paint cans to huff. You'll look much cooler. And feel better, too.
My wife actually picked this place out.
She had been to some Hookah bars in London but this was my first Hookah experience.
The place is very chill. Trendy decor and comfortable couches. Had a few TV's which had sports on them. The staff was really nice. The owner stopped by an introduced himself and spent some time talking with us.
I have never used a water pipe before but Hookah was very mild and tasty. Ton's of different flavors. They had juices, water, pop, teas and coffee available for purchase which was cool. Not sure if they had food or not.
I was glad to see that they were finally able to get their sign up on the building. I will definitely be back at some point with a bigger group of people. Real fun time. Only thing that I would push for would be a liquor license. Sipping a few high end brews would put the cherry on top of a great experience!
wow. i miss this place.
i havent been here since i was 17-18. one weekend my friends and i were here 3 days in a row. sigh. my youth. it was lovely. nothing like a bunch of euro kids sitting around drinking coffee and discussing life over hookah. also i love the way they did the interior, it definitely has an old meets new charm to it.
I haven't been to this place in a while and should have written a review when I first went there but was too freak'n lazy. Â This place is pretty cool. Â Small and cozy and right down the street from my house which rocks. Â The hookah is your typical hookah which is fine. Â The food is pretty good I had a pannini from there and from what I can recall it was tasty. Â The coffee/drinks are also good. Â One of the coolest things is the free wi-fi and the outdoor seating. Â If you don't feel like going to Naperville or the city check this place out as it's definitely a hidden gem.
