TERRIBLE!!

by Tanyaa

The owner is rude, greedy, and arrogant. He tries to take your money and kick you out as soon as possible. We went for a birthday party with 24 people but we made reservations for 25 so he told that i had to pay the extra 30 for the 1 person even though they did not show up. Also, he told me that if I didn't pay I could get the f**k out of the place with my party. When my friend stood up for me and told him not to talk to me like that he kicked him out. He didn't apologize to me or anything, he's all about money, there is no good customer service.

The liquor is cheap and taste nasty! They don't serve brand name liquor at all and everything is extremely over priced for no reason when the liquor is so cheap.

He tried to tell us that the party of 24 people finished all of the $720 in 45 mins which is completely false. He was simply trying to get our money and kick us out so he can seat other people and make more money.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY THERE!!

Best Hookah spot

by niyah7

Theyve got a whole bunch of different hookah flavors. Also what they call a "top shelf hookah" its got alcohol in the base in stead of just water...So if you'd like to get an extra kick out of your hookah experience then you should definitely try this place! We had the Mojito flavored hookah SoO GoOd!
