Are there Hookah Bars where you are at?

[maveric]

My older sons frequent a few in the SDSU area, and tell me that the bars are cool. You rent a hookah for $19.00 and the bar supplies the scented tobacco, sells drinks (alcoholic(beer&wine), as well as coffee, tea and soda),has chessboards and internet outlets all over the place.
Its a shame that they dont let you bring your own hookah material.
Is this a SoCal thing or do these places exist elsewhere?

1. Yes, it appears not to be just a SoCal thing.

And many Arabic food stands rent them out, but those usually don't sell alcohol .

Asking a taxi driver for one might yield awkward results, though.

2. San Jose has at least one

I drove past it this morning coming into work. I'll have to check it out.

3. There's a bunch of them in NYC

I've been to at least 3 (although 1 of them was not exactly Hookah centered it was just available).

4. Oh, I thought you ment "Hooker" bars

[DinahMoeHum]

5. It's a sure bet there are hookah bars in NYC. . .

in particular, in Brooklyn and Queens, where there are a few predominantly Middle Eastern neighborhoods.

Detroit and Dearborn, Michigan, too.

8. Kanzaman in the Haight

The food is patchy but they have hookahs and beer.

[tilsammans]

7. Yes . . .

. . . in Morristown, New Jersey. No alcohol, but salads, sandwiches, and fancy coffee drinks.

9. Really?

I live/work in Madison. What's the name of the place? It sounds like a good after-work place.

I work for a theatre, everyone smokes something. Too bad there's no alcohol then it would be the perfect theatre crowd place.

[tilsammans]

10. It's called Cafe Arabica, and . . .

. . . it's on Speedwell Avenue. The food's pretty good too!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

11. Hmmm. I wonder if it's time to open one in Dallas?

Think it would go over well?

[scarlet_owl]

12. My husband is telling me that there are two here in Champaign.

Never been to one before.

[DrZeeLit]

13. Every time I read this headline...

... I want to correct your grammar.
So, I decided to just jump in and do it.

"Are there Hookah Bars where you are?"

NO AT.

Sheesh. I am so tired of the dumb "at" stuck on the end of sentence.

Okay.
Grammar rant over.


Kerry On!

[maveric]

20. Please excuse my 12 grade, public school education and blue collar

upbringing. I only wish I was among the grammatical elite.
Someday.

[getoffmytrain]

15. I know there is one

here in Austin. Never been, though an Iranian dude I know frequents the place.

[BiggJawn]

17. There's even one in West Lafayette, Indiana...

How much more "Cosmopolitan" can you get than THAT?

There's even 2 places that serve Curry and 4 places that serve Sushi.

It's not ALL Cracker Barrel and Chicken Fried Steak up here...
