Two nights in a row, my friends and I drove down from Washington to watch both the Algeria and Egypt matches. We reserved a table a day in advance for both nights. On the first night, we even arrived an hour early to check in for our reservation for the Algeria game, only to be told they were at full capacity and couldn’t honor it. We were disappointed but understanding. We gave them another chance the next day for the Egypt match and arrived for our 2 PM reservation. Once again, they refused to honor our reservation and even claimed we never made one—despite us having text message proof and discussing the reservation issue with them the night before. If you’re looking for a place to watch a match or enjoy a night out, I’d strongly recommend avoiding Easter Nights. Instead, head a few minutes down the street to Midnight Lounge. The atmosphere is just as good—if not better—but the customer service is on a completely different level. They welcomed us, waived the service fee, and even offered us food, all without us asking. Customer service makes all the difference, and unfortunately, Easter Nights completely missed the mark.

I’m a regular here on quiet weeknights for a good solid session to sit and relax… The hookah and drink selections are among the best selection and pricing Steinway St. has to offer. I came with a big group of friends for the Egypt vs New Zealand match of the 2026 Fifa Mundial…tonight i have another group for the Egypt vs Iran match. This lounge transforms into a section in the stadium. The energy, screaming, cheering and dancing in the street post match is out of this world…the world cup lives in Eastern Nights lounge…You never smoke alone🇪🇬⚽️🏆🫶🏼
Updated: I stopped by in the afternoon just to have a hot drink and get some work done. There were almost no other patrons at the time. One of the staff members seemed upset that I wasn’t ordering hookah and was loudly shouting in the back, which was uncomfortable and unnecessary. Ironically, this is actually my regular spot, and I usually come here for hookah almost every day. That said, I’ve been coming here for many years, and overall it has been a great place. The prices are decent, the hookah is excellent, and it’s a comfortable spot to finish work or hang out with friends. The Middle Eastern ambiance is great, and most of the staff are friendly. Management generally cares about their customers, which is why this incident stood out as disappointing.
Great flavors , good ambience but the server was not really helpful , he kept ignoring us made us feel like we dont belong here. He had a really i dont care attitude. Wont be ever returning here. Go to other hookah bars they will treat you with allot of care and are very responsive.
I just cannot understand how this place has so many 4 and 5 Stars. Hookah was only average, could barely taste the flavor. My friend and I, both felt it was way overrated.
