Ghost Lounge Hookah Bar

I love this hookah bar. Been coming here for months and the staff is very nice. Many people on here complain about the music but that’s just your personal preference. And this is one of the few places that don’t charge for coconatural coals (thank god), and actually give you tongs and more coals as you need it with no extra charge. Yes its smaller than some but I like the atmosphere. Definitely a place I can come to chill and lounge. And being a avid hookah smoker I’ve been to plenty other hookah bars where for some reason the flavors make me nauseous but not here. Its not for everyone I see but definitely my type of place!

Every time I come it gets worse. Everything they do takes forever and a day. Our coals turned to ash before they finally brought us new ones (after we asked). The music they play is from YouTube and I don’t even know where to start when it comes to the selection of songs they choose. One word to describe the setting… Dingy. No other hookahs around but It’s worth the gas to go elsewhere.

The service was poor, we had to chase them down for things we needed instead of them asking us if we need anything. I’m a regular shisha smoker and I ordered my regular flavor, what I got was definitely not what i ordered. Hookah was poorly made and was barely smoking. Two stars just for location. Also the music was fall asleep music but that is personal preference so that is the least of my complaints. It’s a
Shame this place isn’t kept up better it is the only hookah spot in this vicinity.

I went to this hookah bar not too long ago. Worst experience ever. It appears to be run by a bunch of rude teenagers who care about only catering to their friends. We were told that we’d be seated when something «opened up» we waited for about 30min and then was told that we had to wait outside even though there was nobody in the entrance area. We decided to just leave. Don’t waste your time or your night at this establishment unless you’re apart of the teenage groupie scene.

I wouldn’t smoke there for free. Hookah was terrible it literary took 6 coco coals for me to a little bit of smoke. There was no smoke the hookah it self was bad the guy himself said he gave us 2 bad hookahs. Waste of time and waste of 20 $. Save your money and time and go some place a further to get better quality Shisha.

horrible. horrible service. horrible hookah. horrible attitude. horrible seating. horrible environment. horrible service. HORRIBLE SERVICE. the people who work there are horrible in terms of working and with customer service. HORRIBLE. Been there quite a bit and theyre consistently a horrible hookah bar.
They also like to randomly close a few hours early and kick anyone who’s already paid and in there out… got told to we were going to have to leave 15 minutes after paying and 5 minutes after finally getting a hookah…

Old town E. C, you need a better hookah bar! I wanted to like this place, tucked away in the historic row…
Terrible seating (crowded padded benches, cheap tables). Dirty lobby/​service area (one filthy bathroom). Mouthy (no– really!) teenage staff who kept the the lobby filled with their friends. Great music could have helped, but it was really awful. Too-​loud alternating slow pop/​aggressive rap music, playing from a YouTube list on a lobby big screen (where there is no seating). $ 20-​$ 25 is the base price… the hookah was decent, nothing special. Disappointing!

Love the outdoor seating, it’s a huge perk! Decent prices and the staff is fairly friendly. Good place to go to just chill with friends.

This place desperately needs a manager there at all times. Who can rely on teenagers to run anything? I sat with no coal on my hookah for 30 min! The girl finally comes up and says «sorry! The internet consumed me» very professional… Needless to say I will not be back!

The Location is gorgeous I love going there in the summer, where you can sit outside and enjoy the breeze while smoking a hookah by the river. I like the fact they take requests, but I don’t like the interior of this place its small and stuffy so I only go there in the summer time when we can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Also, the staff are a bunch of teenagers that are not professional. they will be inside smoking hookah, sitting on one another in front of the clerk area. There have been a few time where i have had to go and tell them the Cole needs to be changed.

Came from Michigan to visit a friend and we stopped in here after she got off work. Cute neighborhood. Super friendly staff. Be prepared to have your i. d on you because they do check before allowing you upstairs. The stairs were a little steep and narrow but really not a problem. We ordered 2 red bulls & a Pirate Cove with Strawberry Hookah that was phenomenal! The only reason why they’re losing a star is because it was FRIGGIN FREEZING inside. Our toes were frozen! Id be back though for sure!

This place has taken a severe hit in terms of quality. The old management ran the place much better and were very attentive to the customers. Now, it feels like it’s run by a bunch of teenagers who get annoyed when you ask for anything. I had to wait over 30 minutes for another round of coals last time I was here.
Definitely not coming back again until they step up their management and hire some people who actually are willing to help out. Waiting 30 minutes for coals is ridiculous for a hookah lounge charging $ 20 per hookah.

Walked in, got seated, looked at the menu, and walked right out. The room we were seated was small and dead. Two other parties were there and we each occupied our own little corner. This is the first place I’ve gone to that charged as much as $ 20 for regular and $ 25 for premium hookah. If the atmosphere was better I would’ve tried it out but I didn’t feel comfortable enough to stay.

Sadly, I feel like this place has definitely fallen down in standards since I’ve last been. I looooved the vacuum tips they once gave — but alas, it seems these are no more and they downgraded to the normal rounded tips. Not only that, but the service was pretty lackluster. It kind of felt like it was run by a bunch of teenagers — who did seem happy to help — but it almost felt like you had to barge in and break up their shindig everytime you wanted service.
WOMP. I really liked this place when it first opened. The owners seemed really proud of their products and establishment. What happened :(

Don’t waste your time. Hole in the wall in every aspect of the term. They’re just lucky i can’t leave anything less then one star

I have been coming here for the last couple of years and have to admit the quality has gone down tremendously.
1^st: you cant taste the flavors because the Hookah is not clean at all. Water is brown, pipe is old and the preteens that work here cant pack a bowl.
2^nd: Service is slow because the workers spend so much time with thier friends that they can’t be bothered to do their job.
3^rd: They gave me coals that were half cooked, so I had to wait 30 mons for working coals. So they gave me instalite coals.
4^th: Price is outrageous.
I won’t be coming back here for a while, unless things change. I have been smoking shisha for over a decade and this shit makes me want to puke.

My favorite hookah bar in Maryland, if not ever. This is the most comfortable hookah bar ive ever been to. the rooms are small which gives it a cozy feeling. The 3 story building seems to be from the 1700 – 1800’s, which gives the bar a really laid back vibe too. Black lights and loud music. Wonderful service and the pricing is very average. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is great for summer time. They let you control the music if you get friendly with the managers.

This place is dope. I loved all the suggestions they had with the hooka favors. Once we chose our custom blend they just told us to go relax and we will handle the rest. They did exactly that. I’m definitely coming back here.

Came on a rainy day, so there weren’t that many groups. Really perfect though. Good music selection that night. Service was great, attentive, and super friendly.
As for the hookah itself, my friend and I ordered a wildberry mint, pretty good! The smoke was smooth and full. If regular is already that good, the ones with real fruit must be amazing. Apparently it’s the only one in the area? Regardless, this is a place I would come back to again. Friendly service goes a long way.
Also location is convenient. Large parking area right outside and really close to the bars.

I came here a couple weeks ago for a girls night out with a party of seven and we had a blast! One of the identical twin owners introduced us to smoking shisha out of whole fruit. He combined white grape and strawberry shisha inside of cored pineapple, claiming that the fruit’s juices would infuse for a more intense flavor. Twas amazing! The service was a bit slow at times, but overall very friendly.
I also like how the owners made use of a tight space. Like other reviewers noted, it’s sort of hard to find. It’s located off of Main Street in Old Elliott City, but you enter through the back from the parking lot. The lounge encompasses three floors that are connected by a winding staircase. Each dimly lit floor is outfitted with leather (or leatherish) benches and wooden tables. This open design prevents feeling claustrophobic in this small venue. There are also lots of windows for extra ventilation, or people watching.
I would have given this place 5 stars, but I found two major faults. First, they don’t have a liquor license. When we asked the owners about it, they said they’re working on it. Secondly, the music was kind of wack. There isn’t a DJ, so the music is controlled by the employees’ iGadgets. Sure, they played some old school jams… but at some point I heard Jack Johnson. Last time I checked, Banana Pancakes don’t get the party popping!
