Update 3/20/2026 (after owner response): To clarify, my review is specific to the lounge area—not the speakeasy. After leaving the speakeasy, we entered the front lounge and asked directly whether we could sit for drinks and dessert. The hostess confirmed that we could, gave us a table, and handed us menus. We sat down and began reviewing options.

I would love have to leave a 5 star review but the security attitude was not good.

Really great hookah spot on Melrose Ave. The hookah was super smooth and flavorful, and the vibe was chill with great music. Staff was friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely coming back!

We came to smoke hookah, and after about five minutes it started burning really badly and completely burned our throats. We asked them to remake it, they did, but nothing changed. We wanted to leave because it was impossible to smoke, but they insisted that we still had to pay $80 for it. We said we didn’t want to pay because it was literally impossible to smoke, but the owner spoke to us very rudely and kept insisting that we had to pay anyway. The whole interaction was extremely unpleasant and disrespectful. We left very disappointed.
