What People Are Saying About Kush Lounge
The Editor

Citysearch
A winding entryway with dome designs and wooden details beguiles revelers in this high-spirited Lower East Side lounge. Inside, the smell of flavored hookah smoke hovers overhead in the warmly lit main bar, through the maze of secluded alcoves and into the private VIP area. Young sorts sip exotic cocktails and groove to pumping rhythms, which naturally move from American pop to Middle Eastern hip-hop. The orange tones and bright beats fashion a den of secret trysts. The pricey hookah pipes, with flavors like mint and melon, come for $30. The rich tastes continue on the specialty drink menu…

lame lame lame

Best to avoid period. security was nice and respectable until a few of our guests dealt with this angry little manager who told us his name was tim, and he thought he was some prophet put on earth. we had a table, bought two bottles and were squished into a corner then got upset we weren't buying any more bottles after we were done with our bottles. he tried to get another party in on our table just as we finshed our last bottle and we let them know that the music was horrible, and we only came because of some bs reviews that we figured out must have been posted by the venue. bad crowd plus angry manager (that threw us out) equals a horrible place to go. we had over 15 people here none-the-less, get rid of this guy PLEASE!!
- Pros: the exit
- Cons: napoleonic manager

RUDE and a RIP OFF
by M Khan at Citysearch
Best to avoid if going with a large group. Despite reservations, staff acted annoyed and rude when we showed up - the rest of the evening was not much better. They overbook tables (or throw you out of the table when their next party shows up - UNHEARD OF - did not matter that bottles, additional drinks and food were purchased). Also beware: Drinks over $35 at bar will be charged an automatic 20%. I don't think they will be in business for very long -a bit over ambituos and appear to desperate to be the next "it" place - Laughable!
- Pros: decor
- Cons: everything else
