Desert Nights Hookah Lounge

I used to go here all the time. It was a chill little spot. But the last three times I’ve tried to go, it’s closed. Their Unilocal info and their Facebook say they should be open, but I went at like 8-​ish each time and they were still closed. And i know it isn’t just me. I have waited there with other people for awhile before I give up and go to a different spot. I’m over it. There are better spots that are open when they say they will open.

Finally finished my semester off! About to swing by tonight. Man… its been so long! This hookah lounge is really chill and the staff is always friendly and cool to hang out with. Those bowls though… man… I swear a bowl from here will last for hours haha cant wait!!! 5 stars for all-​round consistency, quality, and service.

It has been a little while since I have gone here BEING THAT I WAS BANNED!
I would go to this hookah lounge all the time because the music was good and the prices were nice.
One time we paid to get in (I paid by card so the owner stuck my card in his back pocket and said he would bring it over to me with my receipt) and we went and sat at a table with our friends. Never once did any of the employees come over to offer us any hookah. So I brought it to the managers attention and he said they were short on hookahs but they would be making their way to us shortly. So after waiting and waiting, no one came over. But more people were still leaving and more people were coming in.
So as the night was coming to an end, WE NEVER RECEIVED OUR HOOKAH! We paid to get in just like every one else. (mind you I still have not received my credit card back) So the night ended and we went to talk to the owner (who kept claiming he wasn’t the owner, but my friend is an employee and told me multiple times he was the owner) and he was so rude. He practically told us oh well to the fact that we paid just like everyone and didn’t receive any hookah, and of course we got a little upset. I kept asking him to give me my card back and he kept claiming he didn’t have it. At this point I was beyond angry because I knew my card was in his back pocket, I was going to call the police. My brother approached and he checked his back pocket and BAM there was my card. He also would not give me my receipt, it only makes sense to supply me with a receipt since you had my card for hours. But whatever, they pretty much told us not to come back there after charging us all I believe $ 15 – 20.00 to get in and not giving us any hookah!
THIS WAS A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE !! I WOULD NOT SUGGEST GOING TO THIS HOOKAH LOUNGE.

I love this place. I’ve been coming her since I was 19 sooo a little over 3 years. I go on Friday nights when the DJ is there. Hookah is good. I always tell the staff to surprise me n every single time it’s amazing. I love how the staff come n talk and hang out with you. This is definitely a college atmosphere so if your not into ratchet music and people dancing all around you. Don’t come here. On Friday nights at least I moved to Vegas n I always make sure every time I come out here to come here n turn up! I will say though the older I get the more I’m like I enjoy it less. all the fresh out of hs kids annoy me a little. It just depends on the night i guess. Sometimes it’s super young ppl or some nights it’s an older crowd which I like better. If you come on Fridays I would recommend you come with a group of ppl so you can have your own table. If not they make you share with other smaller groups. Which I don’t really mind I talk to everybody. But some people are really anti social.

Fucking terrible! I almost got attacked in the parking lot by some little kids. No thanks! I will never come back here again. Hollywood will be my go-​to around adults like myself.

Great place for college students! If you’re into good music and dancing, I would definitely recommend coming on a Thursday or Saturday night. Hookah however takes a while to come out and they’re a bit slow on those nights since it’s busy. Other than that, they have a friendly staff! Very welcoming.

This place is just horrible. They have holes in the couches, always running out of hookah, place smells like butt and alcohol. People have relations in the bathrooms so I have to go piss in the alley. This place is just all around boof. Go to Hollywood Hookah.

I came with a group of three and were immediately greeted as we came in. We were helped by Ruben who provided great service by the way! We had the watermelon flavor which was good too. Music was great, played some old school and new music. I’d definitely come back. Thanks for the good service Ruben!

Me and my buddies decided to come here after spending some time at the bar. We plaid $ 15.00 each to get in in which later on some people showed up and I swear they did not paid an entrance fee at all. A group of 4 chicks walked in seem to know some of the staff and they got better service than us. The hookah was ok not a big deal, the couches have burn marks every where and also holes!!! A lot of college kids come here often such as 18 – 20 year old (the type that see this place more of a club than anything). We waited around 10 minutes to get served, no drinks were offered, DJ was OK. There was a Go Go dancer in which she did not know how to dance, using the same moves for 6 songs. The only time I will come back here is if I am lazy enough to drive out to another bar. This place can really use a make over and a better stocking presentation.

Great hookah good times this the place to be good night with friends

Yuck! This place is just terrible! The health department needs to close them down. Where do I begin? Maybe with the holes in the tables, or maybe with the dirty after taste of their hookahs. The seats are broken and the colors are changing from burgundy to a dirty brown due to how dirty they are. Don’t even get me started on the floor! *gets goosebumps*
The hookahs are terrible! They never tastes like anything you ask for. The holes they punch in the bowls are too wide making the tasteless tobacco burn out fast! and the couple of times I’ve been there the hookahs left debris in my mouth.
Avoid at all costs please…
(Judging by the other Unilocal reviews… I’m waiting on the managers/​owners condescending response)

Have came here before, first time i loved it, but over the months service has not been great. the smoke is not thick at all, my friends tasted pieces of ash when they inhaled. And on dj nights the place is super crowded and people drinking and dancing, getting grinded on, and at one point I couldve sworn someone was getting a bj right next to us. Not a great place to relax (considering its a lounge). I do not recommend coming here.

I’ve came a couple times and i always liked it but Sundays hookah sucked! The smoke was not thick whatsoever. I could not enjoy my hookah at all. As hard as my bf and I inhaled, we’d get an apple size amount of smoke. And before it was waaaaaay more. Idk what was wrong with it. Maybe the tobacco wasnt packed right or something. Even the worker that we called to check our set didn’t get crazy smoke… So… Sorry to say I won’t be coming back.

Customer service could have been better.

The 1 star is for the hookah. The second is for their cool décor. The food was disgusting. I ordered a chicken sandwich and I can’t even describe how gross and bland it was. I should know better than to order food at a hookah bar. And now you know too.

Great place to go party on the weekend the open mic night on saturday is pretty awesome and when ricky is making the hookah there is no better place to smoke.

To the owner/​manager commenting on my original review,
I have no idea what you’re referring to. First of all, we didn’t have our IDs checked at all. Second of all, we are all over the age of 21 so having «fake IDs» wouldn’t even be neceessary. Thirdly, it’s quite sad that you must concoct up these untruths to soften the blow of your horrible business and even lousier customer service.
I think the numerous one star reviews of your business speak for themselves – instead of making up stories, you should focus on bettering your business.

I’m surprised this Desert Nights doesn’t have better reviews, I frequent this location so much more often than I should, and I get great service every time. It’s much larger than the sister branch in Torrance and I like the daily specials and deals they have. For instance, Tuesday is college night so if you have a school id, the hookah is cheaper. I’ve also discovered the check in special with Unilocal that’s not available at the other location. The reason I don’t give this place all 5 stars is because it does get a little quiet at times and doesn’t get poppin like the other one. When I want to come hookah alone, I almost always exclusively come here, but usually go to the other location in Torrance to meet with friends

Fist of all, this place is less than half a mile from my house so that is honestly the MAIN reason I go. Unilocal gives a good check in offer as well so why not, right?! With that said, I would not suggest traveling to this place if you live more than 3 miles away because it’s really not worth it. There are plenty of great hookah lounges that will offer you great service and better choices of flavors. This place would benefit from a better wait staff.

Worst experience ever… sat down and waited 10 minutes for someone came to take our order… we ordered and 30 minutes later they walked passed us and then decided to ask if we had gotten our hookah… considering that there wasn’t one in front of us… it was self explanatory. We ended up walking out and leaving. Not going back to this place ever again…
