Mecca Lounge

I absolutely love the Mecca Lounge!!!!! They have a combination of every flavor you can think of and that's a big thumbs up in my book. Last night I was there hanging out with my girlfriend and the owner tells us $10 hookahs tonight, it's a special he's running this week. I have been to every smokehouse in RI and I've never caught a deal like that! I like the attentiveness he gave us changing our coals and making sure it was hitting properly, it never got harsh or stale. I would recommend making a stop here :-)

Me and my group of friends had a super great time. They had great music playing. Seating was great and the workers treated us nicely and were on top quick service and on top of the coal ashing and changing. the hookahs were also the biggest (tall) ive ever seen before. The menu was huge with at least 100 different flavors.  They had a monthly special of only 19.99 per group of 3. We had 4 people but the manager or owner let it go. Me and my friends had flavor code 69 and it was great. we highly recommend that one. Also they gave us mints with our bill. Thanks Mecca!! Be back soon.

No. Just no.

A few friends and I bored after having a few beers decide to try something new and someone had the brilliant idea of trying this place instead of going to Providence to smoke some hookah. Boy, we were in for a treat! I call beforehand to ask what kind of drinks they have and they have none. No license for it. Well, that was fine, we just threw back a couple so no big worries.

Pull up, walk in and I wanted to walk right out. Nothing but what looked like 13-18 year olds sitting on couches smoking and drinking Gatorade. Well.. once in there we sit, try to make the most out of it instead of awkwardly running out the door like we all knew we should have.  We order two hookahs : Pear and Pink Lemonade. Then we wait .. and wait .. and wait .. and hey! They are coming out and the kid is sucking on our hookah to get it started up ... and leaving the mouthpiece on that he just slobbered all over? Yeck!

So, we try the two flavors, sitting there mainly laughing to ourselves at the absurdity of the place and noting the preteens making out on various couches around us. Listening to some awful screamo-I-haven't-grown-up-yet music while the workers fight over what songs to play and curse at eachother.

I sound like an old geezer but I'm actually a 22 year old covered in tattoos who can laugh about things, but when you go to a place and feel like a cougar, it's not the best look.

All in all if you're between the ages of 13-18 and want a nice variety of hookah and energy drinks then this is the place for you! If not, avoid at all costs.
