Hookah Bars- Le Souk #3

ok so heres the deal with this hookah bar. the fake plastic twenty somethings and the new jersey crowd smoking shisha kind of got to me. i guess smoking hookahs is quite the fad as of lately, after all this bar would not exist if it were not for recent hookah fad and pop culture shisha attitude. after learning that the only chill place in the gigantic hookah bar was bottle service only, i became very discouraged...to say the least. so now after walking through this maze of a hookah bar, drenched with sweaty popped collars, and filled with frantic black dresses, we decided it was finally time to order ourselves a hookah. so we did. we sat down in the second room on the right where there were lounge couches filled with people and barely had room to seat the three of us. so we sat in the crowded hooka bar with tons of people singing along to top 40 music. now let me say that this hookah bar has food and it is damn good. very pricey but damn good. so we ordered an grape mint hookah and it came after about ten minutes. the quality of the smoke was damn good! the hookah worked properly (which was a surprise) and the shisha flavor was not harsh and rather smooth. the coal burned evenly. i did not get a chance to see what brand tobacco they used but i am sure that it was of top quality. the only draw back of this hookah was a big draw back at that. the hookah was 23$! twenty three dollars..... oh my this is by far the priciest thing out there and for the privacy and intimacy of this hookah bar i find this to be very poor. the fact that we could not have a conversation without shouting, and that it totally broke my wallet was very discouraging... i dont know if i will ever venture back to le souk. so what i will leave you with is this... le souk or le suck?
