Karma Cigar & Retail Hookah Lounge

I like this place. I think the cigar selection is adequate. Wide selection of Rocky Patel's which I enjoy.

The spirits selection is pretty good for such a small bar. Also, while the beer is kept in one big cooler, I enjoy the ability to try a number of different beers. I'm not a snob either, I can deal with it out of the bottle.

Cool atmosphere. Dark, lots of couches. I have alway sat at the bar (pretty small) though so I can't comment on the couches.

Parking sucks but so is the norm for that street.

Karma could be five stars easily but it's lacking in coordinated service, efficient seating, and music fitting the ambience but they are so close to getting it right. The place is tight, and the chairs take up a lot of space so it's difficult to fit parties of 5 or more. The atmosphere is swanky and fun like a restaurant in the Back Bay but cheaper and less judgmental. Drinks are what you would expect but they could have more options. Hookah is standard but on multiple occasions they have been out of the flavors we've chosen. Many times the live bands are cramped into a corner and play blues. The placed is dimmed with black and red paint and Buddha decorations so unique world music would seem more fitting. Overall, it's different than most of what you'll find in Manch-Vegas and it's refreshing to have something besides an Irish pub.

nice cigar shop- not a big variety but they had some fun flavors. The hookahs are pretty good and they have quite a selection, I have only had fruit flavors. The place draws a decent crowd at night and overall it is a pleasant atmosphere. The only disappointment was that for a sat night there were only two gals working so getting a drink was tough. But both gals were nice and polite, which goes a long way.
