Hookah Bars NYC- Luxor Lounge

I went to the Luxor Lounge tonight in the west village of manhattan for some shisha and hookah smoke. it was a below average experience as the hookah that they gave us was very small and the hose was leaking. the shisha quality of this place is below par and the mixed tobacco hookahs are mediocre. My problem tonight was that the hookah and shisha combo made the taste way too sweet and the flavor degenerated very quickly. the first few pulls were definitely the best and the flavor turned to a sort of licorice taste within minutes. we had a lot of problems with this hookah tonight to say the least. the service was however better but the shisha and hookah experience was terrible. im not sire what it was about this hookah and shisha combo, but within fifteen minutes of smoking the hookah it seemed like it was dead. this should never be the case as a good hookah should ast for at least an hour. the leaking hose was very frustrating and it kept me desiring a better setup. we had to sort of hold the hose with a very tight fist in order to make it stop leaking and even that did not work too well. too often throughout the night i was pulling on the hose with my breath and nothing was happening. the water was not bubbling and there was no smoke coming out of the tube. the only good thing about this hookah was that the blow off valve was working properly and so any stale smoke that was left in the hookah was quicky ejected.

Hookah Bars NYC- Hookah Bar Number 10

Ok well i have to admit that i have been slacking in the shisha and hookah department. i have a great big list of hookah and shisha bars that need to be reviewed and i just have not had the time lately to go out and review one. i was supposed to go to a hookah bar in the east village tonight but yet again i got tired and fell asleep. well this is just going great for me. i have one job to do and that is to go out and review hookah bars and smoke shisha. what a hard life i have! i get paid for going out and smoking shisha out of hookahs at hookah bars and i cant even do that! this is kind of silly because my only responsibility is going out and basically having fun. i guess i am not really doing my job to its fullest potential. Well i am making a commitment to you and myself that i will have two more hookah bars reviewed by early next week and they are going to be of the hookah bar in williamsburg, brooklyn and another hookah bar on the lower east side. I am going to go to the hookah bar on the lower east side to smoke shisha tomorrow night and the night after i am going to williamsburg to smoke some shisha at the hookah bar off of bedford ave. Cheers!

Hookah Bars NYC- Williamsburg Part 3

i was walking around bedford avenue today and i realized that i need some shisha in my life. i needed a hookah right then and there and if i could not have it i was going to be mad. i guess i was going through acute tobacco withdrawl. so i went to north 4th stree between bedford and driggs in search of this hookah bar that i have heard so much about. when i got there it looked in the window and it looked like it was closed. i knoked on the door and no one came to rescue me. I heard that this place was in the process of closing down but i did not think that it was going to be so soon. whenever i walk by this place it always seems closed and there is a sign on the window that says that it is up for rent. now sometimes i drive by this bar and i see that there is shisha and hookas being smoked and i wonder if i should go in. so one day i mosied on in there and i found the door open but there was no one in there! i could not understand why there was on one there but i figured this was the reason that they are closing the place soon. I still have really gone there to smoke hookah and shisha but how bad could it be? the area is good and the people are very nice in this neighborhood but i guess that there is not much demand for hookah bars or shisha tobacco in this area which makes me sad...

Hookah Bars NYC- My Own Bar

Today I am not going to review a hookah bar but I am going to tell you about how last night I turned my house into a shisha and hookah bar. We had a party and throughout the course of the night we ended up smoking a lot of shisha and packing wuite a few hookahs for other party goers. We started out the night with some starbuzz melon shisha and packed it into our three hose hookah from Israel. The crowd at the party started cheering as soon as we brought it out and we could not get enough hoses attached to this thing for the amount of people who wanted to smoke it. It was kind of ridiculous. Everyone started circling around the hookah and waiting for his or her turn to get it. People started grabbing for it and were relentless unless they got a quick puff of our magical shisha and hookah. The party was lots of fun and we entertained almost everyone with our shisha and hookah varieties plus of course beer, wine, and liquor. We brought out many shisha varieties throughout the night which proved very useful for the shisha craving crowd. The best part of all of this was, we did not charge a thing! And the hookahs were blazing all night long as we broke out all three of our hookahs and turned my house into an all out hookah party! Tomorrow we will get into our review of the Hookah Bar in Williamsburg! Enjoy.

Hookah Bars NYC- Williamsburg Part 2

Hey there! So i want to apologize for not coming through with the hookah and shisha review for today about the hookah bar in williamsburg. i have driven by it many times and i know that it is located on north 4th between bedford and driggs avenues and not usually occupied by anyone. this is a total bummer because i thought that a shisha and hookah bar in williamsburg would totally take off. i guess the problem is that the hipsters in williamsburg are too cool to do something actually hip like smoke shisha out of a hookah. i am very disappointed by this as i once thought that i could open up my own shisha and hookah bar in williamsburg that would be flooded with hipsters coming form the left and from the right. but mostly from the left... apparently hookah bars are too far right for a hipster to come and chill in. or maybe this bar is just bad. maybe their shisha is of low quality and the service is bad. then again maybe it is in a bad location. in any case, there needs to be a good hookah bar in the williamsburg area. there are many in astoria in queens and i always thought that astoria and williamsburg were very similar areas. in any case shisha and hookah smoking is something that needs to be done in every neighborhood in new york and i am committed to having a great hookah bar in every neighborhood.

Hookah Bars NYC- Williamsburg

The next bar in our lovely hookah bar reviews will be a shisha and hookah bar in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Now I know that many of you live in Manhattan and do not like the idea of going out into the boroughs but let me tell you that Williamsburg may be the closest thing that a borough has to Manhattan. Williamsburg is the first stop off the L train into Brooklyn at Bedford avenue and it is quite the up and coming area. The L train runs directly across 14th street and is accessible from almost any train. Williamsburg is a great place to sit down and enjoy a shisha hookah of any flavor because of its funky artsy attitude and vibe. The Bedford ave L stop is 10 minutes on the L train from union square, and only 13 minutes from the 8th avenue station at 14th street. The hooka bar that we will be reviewing next is a bar located on north 4th street between Bedford and Driggs and is quite a large place. There is a rumor that it will be closing down soon and it may remain as a hookah bar. In any case we of Williamsburg need a public place to smoke hookah because this is such a fun area and to be without a shisha and hookah bar would be a total let down not to mention it would not fulfill the stigma of Williamsburg being an eclectic, relaxed part of New York City. In my mind any part of New York City that claims to be a “hip” area must have a hookah bar as shisha smoking is quite a trend these days.

Hookah Bars NYC- Review part 5

Ok so hey there! We want to welcome you to our favorite hookah and shisha review site on the planet! This is Hookah Bars NYC. We are a hookah and shisha review site dedicated to reviewing hooka and shisha bars across New York City. I am an independent hooka smoker dedicated to smoking as many hookas and different shishas as possible. I travel around new york and find the best spots to go and smoke hookahs any night of the week. Todays hooka review will add another new criteria, the most low key and relaxed bar available in New York. Now mind you that I have not been to all of the hooka bars in New York yet but out of the hooka bars that I have been to so far, CafĂ© Khufu is by far the most low key. Mind you that I went there on a weeknight around eleven o’clock and it was pretty much dead. I really do not know how this place survives in a place like New York City but I did like the extremely mellow atmosphere and vibe that is within this weird Egyptian shisha bar. This shisha is so so and the hookah quality is mediocre like I said the vibe is very mellow and I don’t think you will find many other patrons there if you go there on a weeknight! Well that is it for now as our hookah and shisha review will come to a final end. I am going to start doing one encompassing review a week and I will leave the other days for individual hookah bar reviews.
