Found this place on google and decided to stop by since they are open late. It’s a very nice place and it was chill enough for me to enjoy my own company watching movies on my laptop. The manager Solomon made sure my time here was amazing! He suggested a good house mix and even refilled it with one he made up. He makes a great hookah! Highly recommend this place I’ll be coming back often when I’m in Austin!

Good service and large hookahs. Couches are comfortable, the sound system is good, there are TVs on the walls. During the day it feels a bit like a coffee house and at night it turns more into a lounge. It’s BYOB and they serve CBD with some of the tobacco flavors.

This is our favorite place to unwind. The staff is always extremely welcoming and attentive, while Audi, the owner is very knowledgeable on sheesha mixes and will always whip you up something you are sure to love. The seating is the most comfortable that Ive experienced at any public venue along with options to mingle or enjoy a more private setting. Walking into Hookah-buzz is like walking into a second home for us and we highly recommend it to any hookah smokers out there. With how helpful Audi and his staff are, its great for first timers as well! (When we first went, it was our first time in a hookah bar and their service was impeccable.)

Long lasting hookahs and great ambiance, been here a few times and Friday/Saturday are full house! They don’t charge for BYOB and the staff, Joseph, is super attentive to each group with the coal service. I went solo on a Saturday and sat with a random group, everyone seems very welcoming including the customers, super chill vibe.

Great hookah and friendly staff! I love coming here with friends. Its a relaxing environment to just chat and enjoy some hot tea. Audi, the owner, is the best!

I came upon this place waiting for a ride from my doctor’s appointment. The staff was friendly, had nice hookahs, also got some tea that was tasty. I liked the environment, despite my table being a little wobbly. There were some music videos going on from youtube, it was nice with low lighting, and people were working on their laptops or doing whatever. It’s kind of across town from me, but I wouldn’t mind going in again.

Review №51

Favorite hookah lounge Ive been too! Staff is friendly and awesome, lots of flavors to choose from, they replace coals often. Laid back atmosphere and no super annoying music. The only constructive criticism that I have is; please implement better ventilation. Both times Ive gone my eyes got irritated from the smoke (slightly busier times) and my friend had to leave for some air. You guys are great and keep it up!

Went in 2 different nights. First night was amazing service on Thanksgiving with who I believe was the owner.We went the next day and the service wasnt as great, but they were packed so I dont blame them.The location looks a bit shady, but they have quality products, friendly staff, and good prices!

Review №66

3 of us in a party walked in and were seated by the door in what looked to be a waiting section. We did not feel welcome. We were not greeted. There was one person sitting in an area which could have seated four. We were told that we could not sit in the other areas because there was no room. VERY unprofessional. He gave us menus and walked off without explaining anything. Going to Rawshe instead. ✌

I was in Austin for a week on a business trip and came across this place so decided to check it out! After my first visit, i fell in love with the vibe, the customer service and the people! so I ended up there everyday to catch up on work and just to have a chilled out place to smoke and relax! I have been to plenty of hookah lounges and this has by far been my favorite! so thank you to the people who work there and as well as the owner for having a great team and making me feel welcomed when I was in town! If youre looking for a place that offers everything a hookah lounge should, this is the place to go!

Review №83

It was okay but the hookah was very harsh, not smooth at all. I went to a hookah lounge in Houston and the hookah was so smooth I picked up a new habit lol and I started looking for a good spot here at home. I really love the atmosphere, music started off good then but it got pretty lame though they just had YouTube on autoplay. It wasnt the worst, you may like it but issa no for me.

Review №96

If visiting from another city or state be prepared for them to insist that everyone must smoke, with a maximum of 3 people per hooka regardless not everyone wants to smoke. The doorman/security said hes never heard of this before; however the Indian gentleman insists that the house rule

K
Review №97

It wasnt too bad of an atmosphere with just the manager he was great and gracious like a host should be. However when the little yuppie hipster wanna be crew showed up things changed. They sat behind the desk so they obviously felt at home and like any yuppie hipster or I wanna be cool, as I refer to them, crappy person felt they were superior to others and could judge them. Well they killed the welcoming atmosphere. Besides the atmosphere of the ignorant regulars and employee the small charcoals dont burn with a good consistency making it difficult to enjoy. Guess not everyone can be as amazing as pipes plus was though. Too bad the drag got too expensive for them to stay open because it definitely wasnt the chill welcoming vibe or amazing prices that closed their doors.
