I love this place. The environment is calm, and the setting is comfortable. MJ, the manager, is one of the nicest guys around. He'll make sure that you're taken care of, and your hookah is well maintained. This is one of the most peaceful places to hang out in downtown. I have gotten so much work done here.

Good hookahs, also nice that the crowd is a bit older. Atmosphere is casual, unlike most hookah bars in Akron it is both well lit and has music at reasonable volumes. Of all the hookah bars in the Akron area this is the only one I will recommend to any of my friends.
Charged me $60 for one hookah, neglected to check on me even once, and was very rude the whole time I was there (except for letting me use their charger box). They were dead so despite all of this I had planned to tip the guy who was there (especially for letting me plug in my phone) but he didn't even give me the option. Instead he was very dismissive, as he had been since I walked through the door, and clearly took his tip by over charging me. Will never go again! That's a 20% or more I'll take to the cuyahoga falls hookah bar, which is closer and a lot more friendly!!!
Came here for visit from Michigan, and this place is lit. Love the vibe and the people. It’s pretty chill and good spot in Akron, not too far from downtown and hands down the best hookah lounge in town. Customer service is awesome too.
Love! The staff here. Gina is great, always coming up with lots of different unique flavor combinations, and is super attentive about making sure you're having a good time. The prices are super reasonable, too!
