Nice place. I ordered the hookah but had to wait over an hour, maybe it was because it was crowded, but it wasn’t a fun wait. Nevertheless, great hookahs and very affordable during their happy hours!

Loved this spot just steps away from the Garden. The $5 margaritas and $10 wings deal are unreal! The place was packed, energy was great, and the guys there, especially the owner and the manager, are so friendly and welcoming. Definitely going back!
The food was pretty good and the first server was great. But I ordered a hookah. They only take cash for hookah, no big deal. Ask for coals. They don't give you additional coals. You get one set of coals for a hookah. Then even though I bought food and drinks already, but they closed my tab when the first server left, there was a new $20 minimum to use a card. Went from a good experience to bad experience in the span of 10 minutes.
From CT . I liked the vibes of the place. It’s vibe and I’ll be going back. Not sure if it was the owner, but he was very kind (Caucasian guy with a nice beard). It was nice and clean. Wasn’t too busy when I arrived. The hookah was yummy. I can honestly say it was a little pricey, so would definitely drink before you go. And maybe take a few shots while you’re there. I didn’t try the food, but it looked amazing. One of the staff members was a little snooty but it’s cool.The music was good. But it does get a little overcrowded quickly so if you’re coming with the party, get there first so you can take over the place. lol
Bartender was extremely rude. I ordered a 10 dollar drink and handed her 12 cash to close out. She said I owed her another dollar. I asked her why she said taxes... 30 percent taxes? I asked. She rolled her eyes and printed a check. 20 percent gratuity was rolled into the bill. If she would have just told me the gratuity was baked in it would have made sense. Attitude the whole time though so I won't be going back.
