Go to The Meridian.

The best Hookah bar by far, this place is very cozy and comfortable. The lighting is perfect, the music is nice and the service is great! They have always started our Hookah for us. Never had any problems. Highly recommend this place!

very relaxed atmosphere, really nice hookahs and couches. the competition hookah bars had to much going on for anyone to really notice i needed assistance on numerous occassions. the girl here is pretty nice and attentive. the only place that carries starbuzz, the best tasting shisha i have had. the only gripe i have is that they dont chill the hookahs. although i can say they do clean their equipment (i came in near closing). my friends and i agree this is the nicest hookah lounge around.

Great atmosphere. but they make you pay an extra bucks to have access to the whole shisha list, it might only be a couple dollars but its just not right. Second they dont change the water just like others have said so flavors can blend and it doesnt filter as well close to the end of the night. First time I whent our hookahs hose grommet was broke and kept leaking, the "server" didnt even kno how to fix it or offer to help!! I had to do something to it myself. head guy seemed really nice offered to change the flavor several times. the girl not so great,she told me i had to wait 45 mins to get another flavor after there was a problem with first! bottom line go to the meridian first if its full then think about coming here.

Bottom line - They dont know what they are doing. Yes they ask you start the Hookah or the little girl will offer to do it but looks at you like you're a wuss if you dont do it yourself. They dont change the water either so its a very rough smoke. In fact we were like check this hookah out, its rough, we think you need to change the water... no water change... Also very dark and no Chai (arabic tea)! we left..
Al-Aqsa cafe', which is just down the road on 56th Street is AUTHENTIC! These dudes buzz around and constantly check your Hookah to make sure everything is smooth. Plus the Hookah is only six bucks! Al-Aqsa cafe' is one of the best Hookah bars I've been to in the states.

This place was really disappointing. I went a few times and I wont go back. Out of most of the flavors most of the time and they made me start the hookah, which sucks. A bit further down the road on the corner of Fowler and 56th there is a place called Meridian. They have a thing that starts the hookah there so the servers dont make you do it. Also the service sucked and there was no live music.

This place is not as good as Al-Aqsa cafe', which is just down the road on 56th Street. It has that pot head feel being owned by the head shop next door, and it's too dark. If you want to smoke a good hookah, go to an Arabic place.

My personal favorite. Great chill music, nice hookahs, tons of flavors + some premium shisha, most comfortable couches in the world... Go here!

Won't go anywhere else, unless this place is closed...which it rarely is!

Never been let down! Always felt right at home in this place...

This Place Rocks!!!! 50+ Flavors of Shisha. The Music and Vibe are 1 of a kind. If you are in Tampa you must check this place out!!!

P.S.
Hot Waiters as well ;)

This is the only Hookah place you'll ever need. The selection is fantastic, the atmosphere is perfect, and the employees really try to get to know you and are very kind.

This place owns!!!
