Best WLM Reviews
I love this spot. It's definitely a hole in the wall but that's what make it so cool. The food was good and I love the music. It's rap & r&b! I like it. Very relaxed and people can smoke their hookah & chill. The service was great and they were nice and friendly.
The spot is chill. It was free entry when I went on a Thursday. It’s pretty narrow when you first walk in and they have a more open space to the right where the dj is sectioned at. I didn’t do hookah or get food but the drinks are reasonable prices
I was intown for the weekend and met a friend here after-work on a Friday. It's a quaint and cozy spot. Adequate seating at the bar. The bar basically just stocks liquors and juice. There are no ingredients for true mixed drinks. For example, I asked for a Manhattan, and they didn't have bitters or vermouth.
There's poor ventilation for a hookah bar. It's just a room full of smoke. It's not something I use to when I visit cigar and hookah bars in my city.
The DJ came in at 10 pm. However, there is not an area for him to set up. He ended up setting up between two tables and customers (which was us). Now we were sitting behind the DJ. They need to rethink the floor plan.
Nothing fancy but it gets the job done if you’re just hanging out to kill time. I wouldn’t purposely plan a date there or anything like that. The vibe was chill. Music was entertaining. Strong drinks and low prices. We didn’t order any food so can’t speak on it. Service was poor most of our time there but did get better once our server switched; unfortunately, we were ready to head out by then.
Took an Uber here straight from the airport to kill some time while I waited for my friend to meet me after seeing their good reviews and seeing that they opened at 12PM. I got to the cafe at 1:45PM tried opening their front door which was locked and I tried to call them 4 times with no one picking up the phone. Funny enough, as I was getting out of the Uber I did see someone walking around inside through the window but I guess they don’t care enough to open the door or answer the phone regardless of their listed business hours. Would not recommend coming here without at least calling first because their hours listed are disingenuous.
I’m not sure who recommend this place but it’s so rough.
$30 for a hookah?! Better be good… Nope, it’s a mini hookah that overheats almost instantly and they gave me a quick lite coal that wasn’t fully lit. No thanks. I would have said 2 stars but that knocked it down to 1.
Food included microwaved veggies with no flavor and plastic cutlery in a takeout bag.
$1 for an 8oz bottle of water and they added a 20% service fee to the check.
Came Sunday evening. Sammy was our waiter, he was very busy being the only server there. We were seated immediately/open seating. Food came out at a decent time. Hookah was fine. Nice laid back lounge.
Only complaints were bathroom were not clean, air circulation is poor with windows/door open and ceiling fan going it was still very humid inside.
Mixed feelings on this place. The hookah was $30 which feels pricey but it was a good hookah and a decent selection of flavors to choose from. I had to ask for our hookah to get serviced after awhile but then they started routinely coming around to service hookahs as you would expect at a hookah bar. We had a tough time getting our server’s attention to order more drinks, food, etc. The food took a very long time and I’m pretty sure the pizza was just a microwave pizza but the chicken kebab was good. I liked the overall vibe - it was definitely lively. They played hip hop music and I guess Tuesday nights are “game night” so they had several board games you could grab and play at your table if you’re into that.
I spent a year in Turkey and more in Germany where I frequented Turkish hookah (nargile) bars so I understand that my standards are pretty high, and most hookah bars in the US are just not good. This is probably in the top 5 of what I’ve been to in the US for what it’s worth.
