    Whew Chile...the GHETTO! Be prepared for a fight, grown men swinging on women, people outside pulling out weapons, running people over with cars and the security just stands by watching. Not worth risking my safety for overpriced hookah.

    One of the worst place ever. The music is very loud and your head will be bursting. Wait did I say music? Sorry, its just noise. Worst service and worst music/noise. We couldn’t even stay for 20 mins. Please avoid this place.

    The City of Newark needs to shut this place down again! The music is extremely loud, the crowd is constantly yelling and fighting, there are no properly trained security guards to monitor crowd control. I don’t see how this place remains open.

    My sister threw my bro n law a b-day party here and the staff was very attentive and really catered to us. They even let us use extra space because we had more people than we thought that showed up. Nice atmosphere and music was on point all night long. On street parking was cool. The hookah we had were filled with flavored liquor/ash cubes. Had a ball!

    This bar is very ghetto and the people that work there are rude. This is a place where you'll be disrespected most definitely. Men banging on the bathroom door while my lady and her cousin were using it, and trying to talk to my lady on the sly while I'm not looking. SMH Terrible experience. If you have any respect for yourself....go somewhere else, especially if you're out with your lady and trying to have a good night out in town.

  • 4/5 That Boi K. 7 years ago on Google
    It's a predominately Black audience They play hip-hop music and Jersey Club music. If your not into those two genres than the place isn't for you. I enjoyed it alot. I had a great time. I was able to bring alcoholic beverages myself, oppose to paying for it there and it being super expensive. Only a person that's familiar with Black culture or take a liking to hip-hop would enjoy being here. The crowd is young, and there is limited space but those are the only deficiencis I can think of based on my experience.

    Shut down. Sofas are all ripped. Everything all black. No music. Very shady. Not a place to go anymore unless you just want to smoke hookah. Not a good social space or social atmosphere.

    Worst experience ever, No one explained to us that we had to buy two hookahs for $25 a peice since it was 5 of us, we all don't even smoke hookah so whoever didn't want the hookah had to pay another $5 They We're Very rude. We decided we didnt want to stay and we were only there for 5 minutes they didnt want to give us a refund for our money. I will never go back to such a ghetto place. Its not even a real lounge more like a room with seats.

    Place was okay. Music was inexplicably loud which made it hard to have conversation. At $15 for entry and $25 for hookah, the seats and tables had burn holes (maybe part of the design?). There was not much of any other services beside the hookah. Staff was friendly and bouncer was a straight shooter.

    It was fun the music and hookah and all the ppl dancing in big circle made it real fun. No fights or arguments and I was happy about that. Only thing I hated was the hookah dude breath smelled like goat sex and horse fart 💀💀
