Friend’s Hookah Cafe

This is a good place to take a few friends (I’d probably max at four unless you wanna purchase two hookahs) and chat over a well made hookah.
There’s a few people playing music videos or video games, there’s some music playing every once in a while and quite a bit of seating. The café is quite dim but once you get settled in it makes for a comfortable ambiance.
The one member of staff I came in contact with was quite friendly and very fast. We had our hookah within five minutes of finding a place to sit and when it looked like we were fiddling with the coals he got up and switched them for us without having to ask, which is nice.
It’s relatively cheap, about $ 13 and it includes two replacement coals and they have plenty of flavors. We chose mango and it was nice flavor. The hookah was very smooth and had a long life.
Overall: I’m pretty satisfied and I’d probably choose this over Café 360 any day. It’s more of a lounge atmosphere which took me a little while to get used to, but once I was it was actually pretty relaxing. The clientele seem fun and friendly and not as obnoxious as some that you’d find in 360.

Stopped by here visiting from NY. Place has legit hookah. Trust me – NYC has over 50 hookahs spots. This is on par. Guys who work here are chill and all about customer service.

Great people, great hookah, great music, and great atmosphere! They live up to their name.

The hookah is decent. Typically too windy for smoke tricks. Dark inside (which I like). Music is good & loud. Nice workers except ONE man who was very inappropriate and creepy. For that reason I will not be going back.

It is a very easy going atmosphere. Like if you were to go to a friends house. The owners will get you set up with their one hose hookah which can be problematic or costly for large groups. However for one to 4 people its great. But it is one of the better hookah lounges in the ville when it comes to quality. It hits smooth and cool. I recommend the fruit punch. I didn’t even bother to look if they had food or drinks. So I will not be basing my review on any of that. Other hookah lounges who shall not be named have ashy uncleaned hookahs which is a cardinal sin when it comes to the art of the smoke. Friends prepares it right.

Friend’s hookah is not the best and it doesn’t hit hard. The food however is pretty good. The atmosphere is friendly and entertaining, very spacious. If you’re looking to smoke good hookah, don’t come here. The prices are cheap because they know it’s not the best. Parking is… well it’s Bardstown Road, never the same.
