I've tried to write a review on Mist a few times now, and each time I give up because it's been such a different experience every time I've been there. It used to be really good. I used to love dates here chillin on the couches but now they pretend they are reserved and make you sit in the chairs. Feels like they want you in and out like fast food.
Review Source:Pretty cool hookah LOUNGE. There's no dancing or anything so it's cool to chill out on a Friday or Saturday. Before 10 o'clock it's pretty laid back and after 10 it gets pretty busy. I just went this past Saturday with a group of 8 and had to wait 1 hr and a half for a table. They kept us going back and forth because we were told when half the party got here we could come in, then we were sent back to the car for 45+ minutes! Once we received the phone call we had to stand in line again and wait. The bouncer was going back and forth with the girls inside and actually asked us if we received phone call and asked if we SPOKE TO A PERSON. Rude! We bought some wine with us and it took the bouncer another 5 minutes to locate where the alcohol percentage was... -____- anyone knows 9 times out of 10 it's located on the front of the bottle. Once we were seated we were told a one drink minimum for everyone even after we bought our own bottles of wine. Our waitress was MIA much of the night and when we asked for cups with ice she said she couldn't do it because most people just bring beer. We were just given a beach pail of ice and plastic cups. Really? The music was random techno crap that no one knew... Cool place but don't come with a large group, hookah is pretty good and a cool vibe. Love the fact there's no cover.
Review Source:This place SUCKS! Dont waste your time...the hooka is horrible, service is horrible, they wouldn't give us ICE (because its one of their awesomeeeee policies), the coal on the hooka is more like pebbles and they never come around with new ones, they make you wait outside in the cold for 20 minutes, we couldnt bring in our wine because it was over 12% alcohol (ours was 12.5), they didnt have enough wine glasses so they gave us a plastic cup, and the place is filthy and over priced.....WORST PLACE EVERRRRR
Review Source:Everything that could have been bad about this place was bad. Possibly terrible. As many others have mentioned, the policies here are ridiculous: everyone gets patted down, bags are checked, men are not allowed to wait inside, if you leave the line, you have to get patted down AGAIN, wine/alcohol can't be higher than 12% alcohol (good luck), you can't have ice (in case you snuck in higher than 12% alcohol?????), one hookah for every two people...
I'm not sure why they make you wait outside forever. When we got inside, there were plenty of open seats, couches, and tables. When we left, there were even more spaces open, yet still a line.
Hookah prices at first glance are good (ranging from $8-17), but if you want a fruit on top, thats $5 for an apple. Want a pineapple? That will be $10!
Want some more coals? Sure, that will take at least 10 minutes and they'll drop off coals the size a dime.
Our hookahs sucked. I saw plenty of others without any issues, but ours just plain sucked. They took it in the back, did something to it, and same crap. We gave up after a while and asked for the check. They charged us for a drink that we never got. They broke a wine glass (full of wine). Everything really sucked.
I'm definitely not going back, ever.
We wanted to go to Fire and Ice, but all the tables were reserved. We decided to try this spot, how bad could it be? They charge 1 hookah per 2 people, we had a party of 8 and had to buy 4 hookahs. They make you buy non-alcoholic drinks and they offer no food. Further, their hookah flavors were all weak and the coals burned out too quickly. The setting and servers were nice, but the manager was a jerk. Our friend got sick from their nasty hookahs and could not make it to the bathroom in time and the manager charged $50 for the clean-up. Never going there again and would not recommend it to anyone!
Review Source:Good place to hang out for a few hours, but they're really sticklers.
On entry, my friends and I are all 30+, and we get a strong once-over with the id's.
It is BYOB, but the wine we brought was over 12% alcohol (actually it was 13%), so we couldn't drink it.
We had 3 people, and one hookah minimum for every 2 people, so we had to buy two. Â Plus 3 bottles of water for $8.
I guess they're just covering their bases (make money, don't give cops an easy excuse to shut the place down), but I couldn't help but feel a bit unwelcome with their numerous policies. Â Seriously, it's not like we brought in a pallet full of Four Loco's and a fifth of grain alcohol.
Hookah was just fine, and we had fun.
The ambiance of the place is very nice, but I feel that they don't really care about the quality of their hookah. Â The hookah pretty much bland compared to what Im used too. Â
I rather go to other establishments and get quality hookah, then pay for overpriced hookah and tea that comes from a tea bag that isn't even seeped correctly
This is like the only place that's cool in this area. Â Service is one of the best that i've seen. Â Price is reasonable.
Only thing that I really don't like is that the security is a bit too tight. Â Not sure why they need to pat us down. Â They really should have the guy buy a metal dector instead of the pat down procedure. Â I understand it if we're a bunch of high school / college kids, but for white collar working adults like us this is really a turnoff.
Trying to find a good spot for a bit of night-life in New Jersey is really really hard. We went here with a group of friends to hang out and try some hookahs. This place is in the same complex as Brunswick Zone (bowling alley).
The hookahs were moderately priced as compared to the overpriced ones we have had in Manhattan. You have to order one hookah for 2 people. We were seated in a nice separate lounge area. This was really different from the small/cramped overcrowded spots in Manhattan. DJ was good, although it was really hard to have a conversation with the loud music. Service was so-so, we had to wait a while to get the coal changed.
You have to order one drink per person,and there aren't too many options for drinks. The drinks we ordered came straight from the vending machine. We didn't know this place was BYOB. I don't recall seeing any food on the menu. It would have been nice if they offered some finger food.
This place has great potential but unfortunately the mangers, bouncers and DJ are horrible. They make you wait forever outside and its not even crowded inside at all. Then once the bouncer decides to let you in he gives you the nastiest attitude when checking you in. They act like this is a NYC hot spot... please give me a break you guys are in North Brunswick in the same plaza as Brunswick Zone! Matter fact next time I'd rather go cosmic bowling then here. They over charge for hookahs and make u get 1 hookah per 3ppl. The DJ plays old cheesy music, sorry I really did try to like this place, too bad.
Review Source:We went on a Friday and brought coronitas, dos equis and wine bottles. One of the wine bottles was sangria, so we were checked, checked again and then again at the door. Security is super tight, listen to the other reviewers and me. It's like airport security, you have to take everything out of your pockets and put it in a basket, and the dude has a flashlight, really lookin for something that you shouldn't have. Purses and pockets are turned inside out. But after you get past that it's cool. They are super nice, and music is so loud you feel like you're in a club. It's mad chill w/ pool tables; clean. No food so eat beforehand. I enjoyed my first time and I would go back.
Review Source:This is an average sheesha bar, nothing special about it. I visited this place because it's local. Â The best thing about this place is that it's BYOB or wine no hard liquor. Â Their sheeshas are moderately priced and there is a one drink minimum regarless of what you order. Â Usually sheesha bars are associated with a Middle Eastern environment, but this place is Indian owned so they play club music in there.
Review Source:Mist is one of my favorite Hookah Lounges and is probably the best one in Central NJ. Â The security may be a bit much at the door, but don't let that intimidate you from going in. Â It's BYOB, which is great because you can sit with your friends, smoke and have a few drinks without breaking the bank. Â Like most Hookah Lounges, you need to buy one item per person and Hookahs are for 2 people max.
I had the pumpkin pie hookah last time which was great- they have a big variety of flavors here and also have a tobacco free/herbal mixture. Â The DJ plays a mix of Latin, Hip Hop and Pop music and also takes requests. Â The owner came over and introduced himself and chatted with me and my friends and gave us each a CD that the DJ made for the lounge. Â The only suggestion I have is to add some appetizers to the place, because we get hungry after drinking/smoking for 4-5 hours!
I've had consistently good service and hookahs at mist every time. First off, I like that they have a bouncer to keep out the 15 yr olds unlike Sultana and many other local hookah establishments. This place has a nice loungy feel and the ventilation is decent so you're not in smog the whole time and you can actually have a conversation with friends. They have screens set up around the room showing games which is pretty sweet.
As far as service goes, the best server so far is a girl named Ace. The hookahs she recommended to us were flavorful and strong. She brought us coal without us even having to ask and fixed up the shisha when we'd burned the top off. Our hookahs remained smooth for about two hours which is great. The place is BYOB so you can bring a bottle of wine, champagne, six pack what have you to really chill here.
They have pool rooms (extra charge) set up, bathrooms are clean and the managers are very friendly. Next step: offer food!!!
Bottomline: reasonably priced flavorful hookah and good service.
Finally, a hookah lounge that knows how to treat their customers. I went here recently with a couple of friends on a Friday night. Reservations are a must on the weekends if you don't want to wait, tables are limited. All of the hookahs were very reasonably priced and lasted for our entire 2 hour stay between five of us.
The inside was a big, dimly lit, open room with tables and leather chairs and couches placed throughout, with lots of space in between. It set an appropriate chill yet modern atmosphere. There are also a couple pool tables in another room sectioned off by curtains.
There were people making the rounds with hot coals every 15 minutes or so, and when we requested more coal someone was at our side within 2 minutes cleaning off ash and replacing the coals. The staff was very friendly and attentive.
Mist is BYOB (no hard liquor) which I personally liked - so we brought our own alcohol and they provided us with glasses.
My only gripe is the lack of drink selection. The menu says food and a more extensive list of options is coming soon, which will make this place even better. Also - is the live fish in the hanging lights really necessary? Poor fish, they must be frying to death.
I went back recently - and this lounge has REALLY grown in popularity. It's become much more of a hip, hoppin spot in the Jerz. It was REALLY crowded when we got there, and remaind crowded as we were there, but we got seated pretty quick. They do have a bouncer dude now since people were sneaking in hard liquor (don't ruin it for the rest of us fools), but other than the quick search, we got in and got seated pretty fast. The flavors haven't really changed, but for the third hookah in a row - it was harsh (the last two we got when we went last time - and this one). Â That's not a good track record.
Review Source:After a few games of bowling at Brunswick Zone (situated in the same plaza), dropped in around 830pm on a Thursday night with a party of 15. Â While only a few of us were planning to hookah, we decided to order 3 different flavors: Blue Mist (not on the menu, but was recommended by the waitress and my favorite by far), Tara in Japan (a fruity flavor - strawberry/orange/mango, again recommended by the waitress), and The Mad Wife (had a red bull base, but wasn't a fan of the flavor). Â Each was considered a fusion flavor and ran for $15. Â Note that they usually require 1 hookah for every 2 people, and everyone is required to get a drink (they have a variety of teas, fruit drinks, soda, and energy drinks, but no alcoholic beverages nor food at this time...you can BYOB in though)...our whole group got drinks, but were unwillingly to get 7 different hookahs when only a select few of us would be participating. Â Â
Ambiance was modern and hip, music was hip-hop/house and allowed me to fist pump like a champ, and the hookahs each lasted an hour before losing flavor. Â As a next step, this place needs to get a liquor license and have a number of beverages to match their extensive hookah list.
