“ This place is fantastic, if you are looking for a great hookah bar, this place is it! Very relaxed environment, very clean, and they pack fantastic hookahs. Everyone that works here is also extremely kind and attentive. ”
“ The best hookah lounge serving up Tangiers, Fumari and Al Falker shisha. Tangiers brand is great but for seasoned hookah smokers. It's a bit tough to find in the plaza as it's tucked in the back order (look for domino's, Empire is located just to the left of it in the corner). Great service and knowledgeable staff. Weekend nights do get busy. Mondays have a movie night (starts at 9pm). The movie selection is posted on their Instagram on Mondays. Bowls are packed nicely every time. Post 2020, they're using one time use hoses, but be free to bring your own hose, if you have one. They do have a well stocked fridge with variety of soft drinks, including some sugar free options. Ambience is casual with music playing in the background (sometimes edm, sometimes rap/hip hop/mix of those two). Couches are comfortable and there are TVs all over, which will sometimes play the local games (basketball, baseball, football). ”
“ Good vibe and comfy place. They have good music and play movies. Looking for a chill place this is the place ”
“ Place is a vibe. Great sisha, friendly staff and the patrons are usually pretty chill. Music is good and the location is great too. I'll be back. ”
“ This place is a vibe! I decided last minute to come on a Wed night at like 9pm just to have a late night hookah session and check the place out as there are no hookah spots in my area. You walk in and right away a man greeted me, asked me how many, told me to scan the QR code for the menu and sat me down. There are couches everywhere with pillows and each area has it's own table. The place is dimly lit with tvs and it feels like you're sitting in your own living room smoking hookah chillin lol The service was great. They serve water and sodas. I was not the only person chillin alone which was pretty cool and I'd definitely come back again alone or with a group of friends! Also if you sign up for their rewards program you get 10% off which was pretty cool! ”
“ My go to spot, quality quality quality. Sean has the best flavors and ambiance is A1! ”
“ This hookah lounge has one of the most relaxing interiors I've ever experienced. I came here on Sunday and the guy that was running the place was the coolest. He packed one of the best bowls I've had and the charcoals he used were on point. The bowl lasted me 3 hours and maintained its flavor. Easily one of the top 3 hookah lounges I've been to ”
“ Empire hookah is a spot to visit! This is my first hookah visit since the pandemic started and it was a great experience! Among the usual precautions of staff wearing mask and dividers set up between al of the couches, they also didn't allow you and your friends share a hookah. Yes, this means it's more money you are spending but love that precaution. They also use disposable hoses. They are given to you in a sealed back and you connect the hose on your own. But just like regular hookah lounges, a ton of TVs set up. One had the dodger games up and there was great music playing! I will definitely be coming back, great experience! ”
“ Been here twice with a friend and both visits were great! Glad to see that a local hookah bar is still thriving during the COVID-19 outbreak and even better they are open later than most. Both of my visits here were great experiences. Music was great, diverse playlist to set the vibe. There was only one employee working during peak hours but still managed to provide great service (changing coals, moving them around, checking up on us) and was of great assistance guiding us through the menu choices. Just a few things that I should mention before visiting is that you should call or read their updated policies/rules on their website. Key things that I want to mention is that upon arrival you will be subjected to a temperature check, menus will be digital (on their tv screen or through their website on your phone), and every person in your party needs to order their own hookah, in other words no sharing. They will provide you with a disposable hose. It's a lot more expensive but I guess it's for the better. For the most part, the place seems clean and well kept. The employee does keep up with sanitizing surfaces. There is also plexiglass barriers that are installed between each couch/section. Just keep in mind that you are in an enclosed environment, those barriers won't save you, and you will be inhaling everyone's smoke so if you're sick, do everyone a favor and keep yo sick ass at home! ”
