The place itself is beautiful. Too bad it is the only positive point. The staff wasnt very friendly. Despite being the only table to be served, I cannot say they really catered to us the way they should have. There is nothing worse than going to a hookah lounge and be served burnt hookah, we ended up returning it and not even paying for it. The music was horrible, despite one of the waitresses attempt to make us feel more comfortable. Apparently the owner watches everything that goes on in the lounge, more like spying to be honest so there is really no way to have a good time. We rapidly paid and left, after asking about "a mistake" on the bill, for another spot way better than this one!

I went with a friend last night for a drink and a hookah. The pricing for the drinks was surprising...for $15 Im used to a small glass mostly filled with ice. We actually got an 8oz cup. The hookah was the only thing that was pricey...most places charge 30 to 35 and 45 for their specialty hookah. We spent $45 on a regular blue mist flavored hookah that was never refilled. For two drinks and a hookah I spent over $80. Not good. I like the vibe and will come back for drinks but will go somewhere else if I want hookah. The dj that night was really good too.

Decent place for the Bronx. Service could be alot better. Was in there 20-30 minutes before speaking to a guy to order our hookah and this is after I had already asked the bartender twice. Be prepared and bring cash. To use your card theres a $50 minimum which I thought wasnt bad being that the hookah was $40 and my drink was $14 thats over $50. Until she said the hookah is now $45 because Im paying with a card there was a fee. Also one of the bartenders was constantly on her phone.

I have seen other reviews about drinks being expensive. Drinks may seem expensive but they have beautiful mason jars that fill about three regular cups in other bar/lounges. The atmosphere seemed pretty good except for the decent selection of music from the DJ & the poor attention from the bartenders. I had to hunt them down to get another round and was helped by the hookah guy. All in all this place has amazing potential and beautiful decor but needs an update on staff.

This place has so much potential however we didnt like it much. Maybe we just werent lucky but the staff wasnt that nice or friendly except for one of the waitresses. The music was terrible. The "no dancing" signs (which might be there for a valid reason) kind of give a bad impression. The choice of drinks was limited. Its a bit pricey for what it has to offer overall. So based on my 1st experience there I wouldnt recommend it but I am willing to give it a second chance

Not a fan, men are pat down before entering, this should give clues as to their clientele. Inattentive bartenders, and a "bottle service" area with tiny IKEA corner tables which was closed to normal customers wanting to enjoy hookah despite there being no actual bottle service, effectively rendering the bottle service area unused space (thats just bad management). This place clearly wants to be more than it is.

Bought a coupon on Groupon, we went on a Saturday, and they told us it was only valid on weekdays. Then we went on a Friday, they told us it was valid Mon-Thursday. No coming back again -since we went from Jersey all the way to the Bronx (+ on everythings the pricey side). The only saving grace was the young man who took our orders, very attentive and charismatic

Best lounge in the Bronx. Manhattan vibe with the convenience of being near home. The drinks are delicious, the hookahs are a good value and the music was amazing!! They have live DJs every night! Also, the owner came by to personally introduce himself and welcome my friends and I to his establishment! Definitely a gem!

Great music, good vibe with a long list of hookah flavors... Only problem is this place is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE mixed drinks were 14, shots were 10 and 12 dollars each. And the slow service decided to tip herself. Word of advice find somewhere else to go!!!!

I went this Saturday and I had an amazing time. The scenery is amazing. Super chill spot. The workers are amazing. What made my night even better was the service!!!! One of the bottle girls with long curly dark hair.. (think her name was jay.. sorry

Stopped into this bar on our way to City Island. Had an awesome time! Great custom cocktail selection and tons of hookah options. The staff is so friendly. They made a wonderful dinner recommendation on City Island. Would absolutely go back.

Local, nice crowd, great atmosphere. Just a little over priced with items. I ordered me and my girl a long Island iced tea, and was charged $39. That was a rip off but other than that cool place.

The music is 5 star! Hookah is definitely enjoyable the only negative is pricing its super expensive.. Not worth the price. It was my first time there and I am 95℅ sure I wont go back.

Beautiful establishment that gives you a downtown feel in the Bronx. With 92 hookah flavors to choose from, I didnt know which flavor to pick! (And 4 flavors come with each hookah)

Attracts an inmature crowd who constantly dont know how to handle their alcohol and want to fight. This goes on every weekend.

Under new owners, so I am unsure of how it is now.
