What is a hookah lounge?

A hookah lounge is a type of establishment where patrons can smoke flavored tobacco from a hookah, which is a water pipe. These lounges typically have a Middle Eastern or North African ambiance and offer a variety of flavored tobacco, known as shisha, for customers to choose from.

Hookah lounges often have comfortable seating, music, and sometimes even food and drinks available for purchase. They are popular places for socializing with friends, relaxing, and enjoying the experience of smoking hookah.

Some hookah lounges also host events such as live music, belly dancing performances, or themed nights to enhance the overall experience for customers. It is important to note that in some places, smoking in public indoor spaces like hookah lounges may be restricted due to health concerns.
